Gonna be honest, I dont really know how I got on your Chanel in the first place but I can't seem to be able to stop watching your videos again and again... Please keep up the good work 🙏 ! Thanks à lot
1st video i saw of his was his part 2 of the ecosystem in a jar...and it was a snippet on Instagram. Immediately subbed and have been binge watching all his content.
Theres plenty of ray mears programmes available on RUclips. I love rays programmes, theyre very wholesome entertainment like shrimp and he seems like a really nice guy
Skip? NEVER. This is the content I’m here for. :D Edit: “Keeping yourself happy while doing [these] little things is an important part of staying alive.” One of my favorite things I’ve heard you say and probably the reason I love watching these videos so much. The fact you share what you love is very easy to see and equally enjoyable to us.
You sure have an abudance of shrooms around you... very impressive! ... Very happy you didn't pick them all as tempting as it is!! You are indeed clearly a responsible forager!! :-)
I like cooking chestnuts in mashed potatoes. They break down into the same consistency as potatoes when mashed. Plus, the taste of chestnut flavored mashed potatoes is really good.
I like water chestnuts with green beans, something my great grandmother used to do and my mom did. Pretty good, especially if it's in a casserole as well.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. My dad got a job in Poland with Elf petroleum. We'd always go mushroom picking with one of his workmates Kristoff. We'd see steam-trains go past the forest every so often, and put our 1 zloty coin on the track, so the train would flatten them 😄
That reminds me of when I was a kid, growing up in Poland near an Elf petroleum refinery. One day we took a steam train trip, as it was passing a forest, the train was derailed and my entire family was wiped out. Afterwards the inquiry revealed that some asshole had put a coin on the track and caused the accident.
Your videos on foraging convinced me to get out of the house and explore the wildlife near me, which has genuinely really helped with some mental health issues I've been struggling with. Thank you so much :)
As someone who's very interested in wilderness survival and food storage, I find these types of videos immensely fascinating. I'm impressed with your knowledge of wild edibles and with your ingenuity in using those ingredients to extend the caloric value of your ration packs. I'd like to see more content like this, please!
I haven't really had the chance of finding such a great flora for mushroom and weird stuff like this, and thats what makes these videos so interesting!
They are very wary of people and although at this time of year, one can creep fairly close to them, they usually run away. I am not sure about the big stags when they are locking antlers - I guess when they are doing that full on, it's probably best not to go close
hi Shrimp! I came across your channel recently and I honestly fell in love with all your videos especially the ones including your foraging footage! I realise that these types of raw and realistic videos are scarce in the youtube community and I hope you would truly continue to produce videos with your own unique style. Support you always!
I watch and enjoy all your videos and never comment, but something about this video I just LOVED. So peaceful, put me in such a happy and relaxed mindset. I know it doesn’t get as many views as other videos, but I would really love more longer videos like this :)
Loving these “survival” videos, I’m from Australia and have a great interest in Aussie Bush Tucker. I’m really enjoying your foraging and knowledge on “English Bush Tucker” 😃👍 Love your channel, and the scam and weird food can videos. Looking forward to your next scam video.
Les Hiddins is a legend. Used to love watching Bush Tucker Man in the early 90s, they showed it on Sunday mornings here in the UK. Still rewatch the episodes here on yt.
My grandfather told me once about a ration pack he had. It contained caramel candies, cigarettes, and chewing gum. The caramels were meant to be surges of calories and sugar to keep you going and the gum was meant to keep you going when the cigarettes ran out. While that energy drink mix probably isn't tasty, I'd bet it comes with a lot more vitamins and electrolytes than his caramels. In the end, it would keep you going longer to do what you did today; forage for actual food sources. But holy moly. He said he'd rather find no food in the woods than get stuck with the pack that had menthols in them. I love your videos. Always inspires me to go out into the woods with my little guy. Thank you very much.
For some reason, when I don't see Atomic Shrimps face, I imagine it's a retired Alan Grant from Jurassic Park running around in the forest making food videos.
I'm so glad I found your channel! Your videos not only have loads of informative and educational content, but they're really calming to watch (you've got a nice voice!) and it's entertaining to see you do your own thing.
mm nothing like being up at 5am watching someone eat an mre. all memes aside been waiting for this one. after finishing the video, i found the foraging made it more interesting
Sacked off the last RKG in the series in a heartbeat for this. Saturday morning shrimp for over an hour? Bloody brilliant! Keep up the good work fella ☺️☺️
I've been binge watching these videos over the past month while I've been sick and bedridden, they're super calming and fun. But the bit with the crab apples made me laugh, when I was a kid I tried one even after being warned and was horrified. I was always told eating too many would make you sick, though I think that's just an old wives tale.
No matter the crummy day i’ve had you make me feel better. Calmer, relaxed and inspired to follow my interests. Thank you for all your hard work and efforts. Extremely appreciated.
This video was surprisingly calming, I definitely enjoy these field test and foraging videos I don’t even mind that it’s an hour long it’s really entertaining.
Okay, I will admit it took me a week to be a sub but since you do have such a variety of content,.... I viewed a sampling of all and this foraging and survival were my okay I want to know everything this channel has to offer !! Brilliant content 👏🏼
I know you must see me clearly travelling through all your videos as I've only recently found your channel, but I thoroughly enjoy everything you do. Though I won't be venturing out as much the way you do, I've really grew an interest over a year in planting my own flowers and veg. I've found it very hard to keep them alive and watched here and others to try and learn and it is going well. I want to begin foraging in future. Thank you for the content.
You make such informative videos. Please make more long videos like this when ever you have the chance. It helps me relax and fall asleep. Due to my restless leg syndrome I'm quite agitated when I try to fall asleep, but your videos are very relaxing and I fall asleep because of the endorphin kick they give me. Keep up the great work ☺️🎍🌻🌸🌺
here in Vancouver my GF and I go car foraging in the tonier areas, as their fruit trees overhang out over the streets, so I park the car under neath and open the sunroof, she stands sock footed on the car seat and is able to select her choice of fruits and nuts, apples, pears, persimmons and chestnuts, it is really very funny to observe us, she takes quite a lot of delight in getting free fresh groceries, but a little scared to be reviewed on peoples security cameras later, I say value of entertainment of this lovely Asian lady carefully foraging through a car sunroof, many would give her a pass, we are parked on the road with the trees overhanging us and Vancouver is famous for having foreign owned and being empty anyway, likely we are helping the owners in the long run
Your channel quickly became one of my favorites, especially with the useful random tricks and info some of your videos provide. I do think it needs a bit more tagging though to take off (I know, tedious work).
Probably next episode will be: How to survive 48 hours in the forest with some gadgets bought on Aliexpress. Please do not drink your pee straight away. Interesting video this one.
Hey man, love your vids and loved this one as well. Regarding the red shrooms, I'd personally advise against eating them at all, cooked or not. Hallucinogenic mushrooms tend to be unpredictable even when cooked and those toxins, while it's true that they would degrade, they will never be completely gone and it's just not good for the liver/kidneys. So it's really not worth the risk imo.
@@robertschnobert9090 the stuff that Saccharomyces cerevisiae releases into the wort when it's mixed with malted grain certainly isn't good for your liver lol. The yeast itself though is just tasty.
The danger you put yourself through for us in the making of this video is much appreciated. Please tell me you at least wore safety glasses in the absence of a tin-opener?
Came across your channel only v recently via the scam-baiting/busting videos, but stayed for the variety. I’m glad you’ve stuck to ur guns and doggedly maintained the channel’s variety despite pressure from both viewers and YT itself. The result seems far more sustainable and both avoids that classic ‘RUclips burnout’ and also shows a broader, deeper impression of your personality and interests. And being an apparently well-adjusted, well-rounded chap, there’s a really nice mix of intriguing, original videos. In short, a unique channel. Thanks, subscribed.
Absolutely love your content, keep up what you’re doing, because you’re great at it! You could even do a full camping video surviving in the woods. Anyways thank you for making my day.
Oh my I watched three years ago and again I'm watching it again today I am thankful to Mr shrimp for the educational content and entertainment thank you
I totally agree keeping busy and expending energy so you can sleep is important. I made a bow and arrow over 2 weeks when being homeless. Food wasn't the problem, asda was just up the road. Finding wood was a chore that tired me out but I had to find something to do when sat by campfire I kept lit for 2 weeks straight over snowy Christmas.
I do wonder how or when you started foraging, and reference guides to reccomend or other sources. Are maggots or other bugs in a particular fungus a good sign the mushroom isn't toxic, or what are some good givaways, if any? I live in the states, and just fascinated by the yellow crabapples: personally, they're only good for jelly! 😄😄😄 Love the foraging, and fun testing, and thanks for spending your time off with us!
I've been foraging most of my adult life (and a little bit of less-adventurous foraging such as blackberries, since as long as I can remember) - I just kind of picked up all the ideas along the way. No, maggots in fungi are not a reliable indicator of edibility for humans; insects have quite different body chemistry to people - they are immune to many things that will kill us, and vice versa. The only way to be sure a fungus is edible is to identify the species and be sure of that identification
Obviously this is an old comment, but if you do decide to start learning to forage, I'd recommend you find an expert that would be willing to go with you or allow you to go with them on a foraging exercise. Videos and pictures are good starting guides, but, especially for mushrooms, you really need someone in person to help you learn to identify edibles properly. It does take years of practice; however, foraging can be a brilliant hobby!
I love your entire channel and have been altering my life just foraging for mushrooms and making life in jars. Thank you so much for inspiration, love it.
I cant believe ive been missing out on all this great content. I use to watch for just the scam videos but after watching a few cooking ones, its as much of a joy to watch (maybe even better!). I wish to one day become educated about wild foods/plants to the point i can just eat it. This reminded me a lot of when my dad use to take me and my twin sister to the forest all the time when we were younger, it was so fun but boy was it a walk. Ive never been to a forest and seen animals let alone COWS! (Besides the wild dog every now and then😂) Maybe im not going far out enough. Keep up the good content!
One of the best creative channels on RUclips. I've watched and enjoyed a lot of your videos shrimp! Just wanted to know where did you learn about foraging skills, and identifying different fungi, plants, fruits, tress etc??
The foraging stuff I just picked up over the years from books, TV, web resources, other videos, etc (actually, that's pretty much how I learned anything about anything)
I admire you’re ethical thinking about the subject you approach, it displays knowledge acquired over a considerable period of time, but utterly captivating, you use your intuition gained during a life cycle gained and useable knowledge gained to put across important messages about how we react to our environment, good on you my friend your very entertaining/informative, many thanks long may you be successful in what you portray. Spud! x
You should do the whole travel thing ! And go to different countries and how they forage etc you fit the role perfectly your personality and intellect with your quirkyness and delivery would give you an audience 1million percent !
This is fascinating. I must say I enjoyed the foraging and survival meal aspect of this more than just the actual ration packs! Also, I've eaten fly agaric a few times - it's very easy to cook them and neutralise the toxic (incl. psychoactive) substances in it. I find it a really nice taste. Very earthy and woody taste but not in an unpalatable way. It is also really very easy to prepare for psychoactive purposes, neutralising the muscarine (and converting the ibotenic acid to muscimol), though I advise readers responsibility with it and not trying anything without research first and/or being with an experienced person. It's not like your normal British "liberty cap" magic mushroom. Atomic is right in cautioning against muscarine and that is why it must be prepared first, and the ibotenic acid will make you feel ill too (which is why you convert it in prep).
Well Mr. Shrimp, if I make it from Seattle To the big island. I'd love a spot of tea with you. Maybe a blue ringer or two. If you make it to PNW Ring me, I'll show you around. A mocha breva to be sure... Best in the word. Great show you have here. Thanks
I love these calm videos. I LOVE foraging, but my boyfriend doesn't so I don't really get to go anymore. I love vicariously through you and your videos
If a mushroom gives you so much as a bad stomach after eating raw then in my opinion that means it's poisonous. You're no liar Mr. Shrimp. Great video btw.
Still you should Cook mushrooms before eating. But mushrooms are hard to digest and some Will give some ppl stomach pains even if they are perfectly edible even after cooking them.
Yes - it's maintained by the New Forest National Park Authority - however, it's not abnormal for a mixed beech/oak forest to be fairly free of undergrowth. More sparse areas have an undergrowth layer of mostly bracken ferns, but grazing from deer, horses and cattle keeps much of it at bay
im not in a position to give you advice and i constantly fail to follow it myself, but arguing with ignorant people is useless. if they want a fly mushroom (thats what its called in german) to be edible, nothing will change their minds. i recently argued with people demanding to know that humans can live like a carnivore eating only meat... because carbs are supposed to cause all sorts of diseases. its also funny that people tell you to pick more mushrooms than you need, since here in austria that wouldnt even been allowed. there are italiens frequently crossing the border to collect tons of them to sell on the market. thats why we have restrictions.
maybe you should do some research. not only is living like a carnivore perfectly possible. it heals many illnesses. the great jordan peterson wouldnt be alive without it. he had auto-immun issues and it went completly gone by only eating beef. vllt solltest du dich auch ein wenig informieren. nicht nur, das ne reine fleischdiät gut geht, es heilt die meisten zivillisationskrankheiten. jordan peterson wäre anders garnicht mehr am leben. er und seine tochter hatten schlimme auto-immunkrankheiten und eine reine rindfleisch diät hat ihn "geheilt"
I'm with you on the fly agaric. I've had it before for recreational purposes, and of all of the psychedelic mushrooms I've tried (quite a few) they're the least fun/pleasurable ones to take. You're absolutely correct, you really don't know just how much toxin is in an individual specimen, and it's quite possible to land one's self in the emergency room. It probably won't unalive you, but you're going to get to a point where you might think of unalive as preferable to your current state. I got lucky, and only got very mild upset stomach, but two of my fellow adventurers didn't boil them long enough and got quite sick indeed. It's one thing to be "tripping" and quite another thing to be "tripping" while mildly poisoned at the same time. Zero out of five stars, would not recommend.
Such a cool series * - also hadn't ever thought about the nutritional value of mushrooms when it comes to forgaging in a survival situation, when you mentioned foraging a basket of mushrooms it reminded me of how much a pot of mushrooms reduces down when you're cooking 🤯
I adore your videos! They are making this pandemic tolerable! Quick question...you wear very unique shirts! Do you or your wife make them? Keep up the great work!
what a fine looking cowboy, I've been waiting for this video and im also pleasantly surprised to see its 1 hour long. looks like i wont be sleeping tonight
ur like that cool uncle that everyone loves (including me)

I totally agree keeping busy and expending energy so you can sleep is important. I made a bow and arrow over 2 weeks when being homeless. Food wasn't the problem, asda was just up the road. Finding wood was a chore that tired me out but I had to find something to do when sat by campfire I kept lit for 2 weeks straight over snowy Christmas.
I do wonder how or when you started foraging, and reference guides to reccomend or other sources. Are maggots or other bugs in a particular fungus a good sign the mushroom isn't toxic, or what are some good givaways, if any? I live in the states, and just fascinated by the yellow crabapples: personally, they're only good for jelly! 😄😄😄 Love the foraging, and fun testing, and thanks for spending your time off with us!
I've been foraging most of my adult life (and a little bit of less-adventurous foraging such as blackberries, since as long as I can remember) - I just kind of picked up all the ideas along the way.
No, maggots in fungi are not a reliable indicator of edibility for humans; insects have quite different body chemistry to people - they are immune to many things that will kill us, and vice versa. The only way to be sure a fungus is edible is to identify the species and be sure of that identification
@@AtomicShrimp Ahhh, thank you😊 and thanks for getting in touch!
Obviously this is an old comment, but if you do decide to start learning to forage, I'd recommend you find an expert that would be willing to go with you or allow you to go with them on a foraging exercise. Videos and pictures are good starting guides, but, especially for mushrooms, you really need someone in person to help you learn to identify edibles properly. It does take years of practice; however, foraging can be a brilliant hobby!
I love that you forage, the knowledge you have to do this safely is amazing. I only take photos of mushrooms as I am allergic.
Awww yeah an hour Video!!!! No skipping for me!!!!! Great video
I love your entire channel and have been altering my life just foraging for mushrooms and making life in jars. Thank you so much for inspiration, love it.
I cant believe ive been missing out on all this great content. I use to watch for just the scam videos but after watching a few cooking ones, its as much of a joy to watch (maybe even better!). I wish to one day become educated about wild foods/plants to the point i can just eat it. This reminded me a lot of when my dad use to take me and my twin sister to the forest all the time when we were younger, it was so fun but boy was it a walk.
Ive never been to a forest and seen animals let alone COWS! (Besides the wild dog every now and then😂) Maybe im not going far out enough. Keep up the good content!
One of the best creative channels on RUclips. I've watched and enjoyed a lot of your videos shrimp!
Just wanted to know where did you learn about foraging skills, and identifying different fungi, plants, fruits, tress etc??
The foraging stuff I just picked up over the years from books, TV, web resources, other videos, etc (actually, that's pretty much how I learned anything about anything)

I admire you’re ethical thinking about the subject you approach, it displays knowledge acquired over a considerable period of time, but utterly captivating, you use your intuition gained during a life cycle gained and useable knowledge gained to put across important messages about how we react to our environment, good on you my friend your very entertaining/informative, many thanks long may you be successful in what you portray. Spud! x
You should do the whole travel thing ! And go to different countries and how they forage etc you fit the role perfectly your personality and intellect with your quirkyness and delivery would give you an audience 1million percent !
This is fascinating. I must say I enjoyed the foraging and survival meal aspect of this more than just the actual ration packs! Also, I've eaten fly agaric a few times - it's very easy to cook them and neutralise the toxic (incl. psychoactive) substances in it. I find it a really nice taste. Very earthy and woody taste but not in an unpalatable way.
It is also really very easy to prepare for psychoactive purposes, neutralising the muscarine (and converting the ibotenic acid to muscimol), though I advise readers responsibility with it and not trying anything without research first and/or being with an experienced person. It's not like your normal British "liberty cap" magic mushroom. Atomic is right in cautioning against muscarine and that is why it must be prepared first, and the ibotenic acid will make you feel ill too (which is why you convert it in prep).
You've renewed my sense of wonder when it comes to food. Thank you.
"Wow, there's actually a little sausage in there. Oh, there's two! How Delightful!!!"
Well Mr. Shrimp, if I make it from Seattle
To the big island. I'd love a spot of tea with you.
Maybe a blue ringer or two.
If you make it to PNW
Ring me, I'll show you around.
A mocha breva to be sure...
Best in the word.
Great show you have here. Thanks
Love watching this and eating with you (in a matter of speaking) as the adventure unfolds!
British Folding Ideas is quite the channel, love being subscribed to you friend!
ACCURATE
I love these calm videos. I LOVE foraging, but my boyfriend doesn't so I don't really get to go anymore. I love vicariously through you and your videos
If a mushroom gives you so much as a bad stomach after eating raw then in my opinion that means it's poisonous. You're no liar Mr. Shrimp. Great video btw.
lol. yes - I mean, I guess sweating, reeling, falling over and vomiting is a normal Saturday night for some people - but not for me
Still you should Cook mushrooms before eating. But mushrooms are hard to digest and some Will give some ppl stomach pains even if they are perfectly edible even after cooking them.
Chanterelles are very slightly poisonous when raw, which is why they need to be cooked. The same is true for potatoes.
Your foraging and food videos are what I need to survive lockdown. :) thank you.
Mr Shrimp: I'm not your real mom.
Of course your not your our favorite internet uncle
Did you ever consider a degree in conservation?
Is that a maintained forest? I’m shocked at the lack of undergrowth
Yes - it's maintained by the New Forest National Park Authority - however, it's not abnormal for a mixed beech/oak forest to be fairly free of undergrowth. More sparse areas have an undergrowth layer of mostly bracken ferns, but grazing from deer, horses and cattle keeps much of it at bay
Atomic Shrimp ah that makes sense
Cant wait for part 2!! This is wholesome and i love it
I can just sit and watch you forage all day every day.
im not in a position to give you advice and i constantly fail to follow it myself, but arguing with ignorant people is useless. if they want a fly mushroom (thats what its called in german) to be edible, nothing will change their minds. i recently argued with people demanding to know that humans can live like a carnivore eating only meat... because carbs are supposed to cause all sorts of diseases.
its also funny that people tell you to pick more mushrooms than you need, since here in austria that wouldnt even been allowed. there are italiens frequently crossing the border to collect tons of them to sell on the market. thats why we have restrictions.
maybe you should do some research. not only is living like a carnivore perfectly possible. it heals many illnesses. the great jordan peterson wouldnt be alive without it. he had auto-immun issues and it went completly gone by only eating beef.
vllt solltest du dich auch ein wenig informieren. nicht nur, das ne reine fleischdiät gut geht, es heilt die meisten zivillisationskrankheiten. jordan peterson wäre anders garnicht mehr am leben. er und seine tochter hatten schlimme auto-immunkrankheiten und eine reine rindfleisch diät hat ihn "geheilt"
@@harambo88
aha
Human carnivore with no veg? As a vege sounds crazy lol
I'm with you on the fly agaric. I've had it before for recreational purposes, and of all of the psychedelic mushrooms I've tried (quite a few) they're the least fun/pleasurable ones to take. You're absolutely correct, you really don't know just how much toxin is in an individual specimen, and it's quite possible to land one's self in the emergency room. It probably won't unalive you, but you're going to get to a point where you might think of unalive as preferable to your current state. I got lucky, and only got very mild upset stomach, but two of my fellow adventurers didn't boil them long enough and got quite sick indeed. It's one thing to be "tripping" and quite another thing to be "tripping" while mildly poisoned at the same time. Zero out of five stars, would not recommend.
Sir, heating and supplementing isn't cheating
Such a cool series * - also hadn't ever thought about the nutritional value of mushrooms when it comes to forgaging in a survival situation, when you mentioned foraging a basket of mushrooms it reminded me of how much a pot of mushrooms reduces down when you're cooking 🤯
I adore your videos! They are making this pandemic tolerable! Quick question...you wear very unique shirts! Do you or your wife make them? Keep up the great work!
Jenny makes them for me - usually out of bed cover material
Atomic Shrimp That’s fantastic! Well done, Jenny!
God, I love foraging. Doing it often with a friend of mine
what a fine looking cowboy, I've been waiting for this video and im also pleasantly surprised to see its 1 hour long.
looks like i wont be sleeping tonight
45:34 "roasting my chestnuts over an open fire, literally!"
Been waiting for this video forever!
The forest in your area looks so beautiful
This reminds me of the days when I used to tag along my grandad to go foraging. Rip ❤️
