Most Dangerous Wild Plants I've Eaten...and I survived
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- Four wild foods I ate that could potentially kill you. One of these wild foods is very common but too much of it can be deadly. Two of these wild foods can be eaten only if prepared properly. Another one is simply the most dangerous tree on the planet. Have you seen or experienced any of these plants?

"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!"
Я ел семена дурмана белого, не понимаю что это. Будучи ребёнком, но я съел немного и всё что получил так это обделался
And this is why the skin test always wins. Knowledge is a far more useful tool than a perceived iron gut
Like weed
What doesn't kill you, makes you constipated...
@@Garjahn😅😅😂😂😂 or not hahahaha shitty pun intended.... sorry I'm a bit of a nerd.
This just proves how much of a chad Chad is
You misspelled mor0n. Chad is a mor0n. Only mor0ns eat wild plants that they cannot identify.
Como diabos tu comer veneno presta atenção
@@RenanHonorato-fo8gnNah, that’s just a Chad in its natural habitat.
The dudes survived after trying manzanita!wow!
@@RenanHonorato-fo8gnnot all poison looks like poison
Thanks for the shotout brother . I remember feeling so relieved after seeing you still standing on top of the hill . That was certainly a good learning opportunity for me as well . Great informative video .
Thank YOU bro!
Bro literally a Chad
Ooouch! Compaction is painful, to say nothing of burnt mouth and extreme nausea. You are lucky to have no permanent damage! Thanks for sharing these stories!
I have had a strong digestive system for a long time but they checked me for injury and all tests came back negative.
Chad, you just saved somebody with this vid. Thk you. Much respect for covering the cactus pear episode, most people couldn't have.
The information in this video may help some avoid some pain and suffering.
Love hearing stories like this from your adventures. Thanks Chad!
I have so many stories.
i grew up in the Sonoran desert, ate my fair share of prickly pear, had heard of something simmilar to what happened to you when i was a kid. even from the native tribes, they always said to eat pears with other things otherwise it could make you very sick....didnt know this was the reason.
glad you made it bub.
Someone actually warned me online not to eat too many prickly pears or it could cause severe constipation but I didn't remember. I'm also a little skeptical when someone says not to do something because the same people may say not to go outside when it is cold and I just find it beneficial to go out in the cold.
Thanks for sharing information❤❤
My pleasure 😊
I really like the fact that Chad is actually referencing and teaching instead of just showing off the skill.
Real life experience
Thanks for being real,authentic and truthful with us chad.
You’re welcome 👍
Sehr infomatives Video 👍🏻 vielen Dank.
Bleibt GESUND💪🏻 und GLÜCKLICH 🍀
Love this video format! It’s cooling getting to learn from your experience.
I'm glad you like it
The one and only..the pioneer..the original survival youtuber ChadZuber.
Phew! Glad you are OK Chad! Kudos for releasing this PSA episode!
Kids, don't do this!
Thank you for covering this topic. I think those who are going to do wild foraging should know what they are eating and the possible issues with the foods they find. Preparation of some plants is so important and if you don't know don't eat! I've never gotten sick but that's only because i knew the plants well that I have eaten. Those who wish to learn more about wild edibles should go with someone out in the field and learn from someone who has knowledge and experience, at least until you gain some information on how to identify plants and know if they have a poisonous look alike. Knowledge is valuable. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, exactly right. I realize very well that I took risks. I understand the universal edibility test and have used it a few times but in most cases I'm hiking through a place and may not see a particular plant again. The first three cases happened far away from home and when I find something new I want to learn about it right away. Testing it right there on the spot is the fastest way to learn but also risky. I've had less serious effects from a few other wild plants too. I'm just so curious and I want to be more than just a theorist. You know what I mean?
@@ChadZuberAdventures yes i do know what you mean. and I too have done the edibility test I learned it very young about 6 yrs old. I forgot i did it with goose berries when i was told they were poisonous about 9 years old and were for the birds. Later i learned what they were but already eaten enough to now they didn't make me sick. lol
Your knowledge is why you go those extra steps. same as when you leach the acorns if we didn't do that we would get sick from them. I've had some tell me to reduce the bitterness of dandelion leaves to bring to a boil for a minute or 2 and dump the water and then cook and eat. it's supposed to get rid of the bitterness. Being i prefer their roots and make my own roasted dandelion root tea, I've not really eaten the leaves. I much prefer wild spinach aka lambs quarters.
@@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN I eat raw dandelion leaves on occasion. I don't enjoy them. They certainly are bitter. In most cases I have always eaten edible foods in moderation. There have been many times that commercially available foods like beans and potatoes have caused me an upset stomach. I tend to avoid those now or just eat a very small amount. Combinations of foods also have an effect.
@@ChadZuberAdventures yes i agree some foods wild or tame can cause issues. Maybe try the boil and toss the water off the dandelion greens see if it removes the bitter taste I'm not fond of them because they are bitter. and i love the roasted roots and drink it more like a tea and like it better then coffee.
Good message Chad, I remember the prickly pear seeds! Skunk Cabbage looks like an Aroid, ugh those are generally poisonous(?), we have one in England that looks a bit like that called Adders' meat because of the toxin in it. I once ate some wild peas I'd never seen before because well peas are good but then later heard that there are actually poisonous peas in the wild!
There are foods that aren't ideal and are more of an emergency survival food. Skunk cabbage is one of those.
When i was i kid, i eat one of those flowers just for curiosity, leason learned, never again. Your mouth hurts, and you washed over and over, and do not get's out, i took me like 2 or 3 days to clean that awfull sensation in the mouth.
Glad you survived, Chad Zuber.Thank you for your experience,will use it in my future primitive surviving!
Thanks a lot
Thank you for such interesting and informative information!
You are welcome!
Thanks for sharing your experiences
Thank you
Hi Chad. I am glad that you are in good health. and thank you for this information. xx
Thank you!
It is good to know what you are eating, when foraging for wild plants, and wild edibles. You have to be 100% sure. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers, Chad! ✌️
I've been willing to take risks. It's part of the learning process. Consider me your science project.
Awesome video as always
Just wanted to say thanks for your videos chad! Defiently the best survival/primitive channel out there cheers😁
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Nice sharing video ..Very useful and informative ...Greeting from Indonesian traditional gold prospecting 🇮🇩😍💗🌼🙏👍👍
Please be safe out there 😿. Enjoyed watching ur vids ❤
Thank you so very much for warning us of these plants and your experiences. You could very well have saved someone's life. Be safe my friend and God bless you. 🙏🌸🏵️
Some people are very curious. I'm one of them. If someone tells me that a plant is toxic and I shouldn't eat it then I want to know why. I want to know how toxic is it. Beans are toxic, tomatoes are toxic, alcohol is toxic but yet most people consume them. So by sharing my real life experience with these plants people can have a better idea of the reality.
Great episode. That was very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it
That is a great visual of the seeds in a compacted state in the intestine. I'm sure it helped someone understand why this state should be avoided at all costs given how painful it is and how many treatments and days it took to remedy the situation. All the rest of the plants you shared your experience with is just as valuable. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm glad you found it educational.
Thanks for sharing very valuable information 🙏
Love the trim, love the video!🤟
thanks!
wow..your videos are so informative. Thankyou so much..
I hope you enjoyed it
Опунция ещё никогда не была такой опасной. Случись это где-то в пустыне, это был бы печальный конец
К сожалению, я совершил большую ошибку с опунцией.
Increíble, está clase de videos también son muy buenos, felicidades!!
Gracias!
very informative. thank you
Thank you
hoping for more story content, really enjoyed this one
There will be more
Wow amazing you talking about prickly pears. Had ONE last week for the first time in about 15 years. Here in South Africa they have ALWAYS been associated with bad constipation.
Thanks for Sharing the information..☺️
Thank you for you valuable information.
Stay safe and have fun.
Great information, thank you
Awesome video need more like this on psyhedelic plants you've had
I’ve never used psychedelics
Thank you very much, very helpful and important
Great video!
Amazing video as always Chad! I'm glad you and your friend survived eating a manchineel fruit. That's definitely an interesting story! I didn't know elephant ear yam plants were full of oxalates, and my family and I eat them as we are latin american, maybe we have higher counts of those oxalate digesting bacteria compared to the average American. Also! I had heard about the skunk cabbage plants being edible, but I never learned that they had to be boiled for a long time in several changes of water, fascinating! Yet again, another great watch from your channel
Thanks! I believe the oxalate levels vary greatly among the different species of the genera xanthosoma, alocasia and colocasia (elephant ear). In Mexico someone told me that one species is edible and the other is not. I still have to do more research to learn to differentiate which ones are lower in oxalates.
@@ChadZuberAdventuresColocasia species are eaten in Asia and Polynesia. They just vary in oxalate levels and some cultivars have more than others.
Wow. Thanks for this video
Thanks for watching.
Sound advice, thanks Chad
😎👍
Very informative.
Wow! That's a sneaky seed danger... Thanks for sharing that and thank god you're ok!
Yep, I never thought about the seeds being a problem

Be carefull man! Thanks for sharing
Thank you, I will
That is vital information, Thank You.
Glad it was helpful!

This is a great video thank you.
Thanks for watching!
It Great You Share this knowledge ...
very cool watch, thanks for sharing !!
Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of a tip a Toxicologist said in one of those informative videos "if it's in the grocery store, it's safe to eat, be extremely careful when foraging the wilderness for food"
Oh but not everything in the grocery store is safe to eat either. I once bought kidney beans in the grocery store and instead of cooking them I just soaked them in water for a day then I ate them. A few hours later I spent three hours with diarrhea and vomiting. Also, grocery stores are loaded with processed foods packed with synthetic chemicals and food additives that can eventually kill a person over time.
@@ChadZuberAdventures It's not the grocery store's fault that you have a blueberry sized brain. Everyone with an IQ over 20 knows that raw, uncooked kidney beans are poisonous. Grocery store products are not dangerous. Being a dumb baffoon is dangerous.
@@ChadZuberAdventures And no. It's not synthetic food colorants or other food additives that caused you to get sick either. Kidney beans just have natural toxins present in them. They grow that way. Cooking them is needed to denature(break down) those naturally occurring toxins.
Don't blame food additives, when you don't know anything at all about the natural components of the things you eat. I bet one day you're going to buy a cassava root from a grocery store, try eating it raw, almost die and then blame the grocery store and SyNtHeTiC FoOd AdDiTiVeS. You're hilarious bro.
muchas gracias por la información sera muy útil
Glad to hear you are OK. Please take care.
I try
I was also curious when you ate that thing but you are good now that's great.
Oh yeah, I'm feeling great now.
A type of Wild Xanthosoma is found here in the tropics, and we have a superstition where we cant speak, sing, or do much else while peeling off the stems and cutting the roots. I later found out that this is so that when preparing the plant/root, we work faster and more efficiently otherwise our hand will start getting irritated from the sap if we take too long preparing them
Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I've read similar traditions about other edible plants too.
I appreciate this thanks 🙏
Jobbulást! Nem szabad minden bogyót megenni!
It's cool that you have footage
I wish I had more footage. I do a lot of experiments and I don't record them. I do experiments to learn and then maybe make a video in the future. But I had enough footage to show and tell the story.
Actually these experiences and advices helps people to avoid these things. I am glad you shared these and glad you survived.
Yeah, if people pay attention then they could benefit from this information.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Hopefully, when I was like 7-8 years old I accidentally touched a shroom which spores got into my nose and eye and irritated. I do not remember the name of it but it was an experience what I would not want again. For this specific reason (among with many) I am avoiding to harvesting mushrooms even if I know few already.
Where I live there are not so much exotic plants you shown in this video but there are poisonous plants which can kill you fast if you eat their seeds or some of their parts. for just some example :
Cicuta virosa
Datura stramonium
Heracleum mantegazzianum
Aristolochia clematitis
Laburnum alpinum
There are more but that's just not youtube viable to put a lot. In Europe there are also a lot of fancy stuff what you first may see edible then it results a lot of pain or death.
Wow, never actually heard of someone eating from the Manchineel tree, amazing story! Glad you both ended up okay.
Yeah, I can’t wait to try it again 🤣 Just kidding!
Thank u chad 🥰
Absolute mad Chad!
Hi Chad. Your channel is very interesting! Ever ate Chinaberry berries?
No, I never heard of that fruit
thanks for sharing ! also did you intentionally chew the seeds or just swallow? Im wondering if chewing might have helped them now get so stuck ?
Damn bro. You're a badass. Love n respect from Portland Oregon 🤝🏻 -Robinhood
Thanks Robinhood!
Thanks for the advice. I must say you are the most articulate "cave man" I have ever come across. Look forward to more of your videos. I used to eat the prickly pear fruit at my old ranch in the Oklahoma panhandle, but the sugar content was so high that it caused me to become hypoglycemic. Be well.
Hyperglycemic? (High blood sugar)
@@DDeden Exactly. I got most of the letters correct. Ha. Ha. Thank you.
Some prickly pears are quite sweet. Others are not. I've eaten about seven different species.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Copy that Caveman. Adonai
I always try fruits etc, now will be more aware. Glad you well brother.
Yeah, just think about it before eating.
Thank you for your personal experience, which gave me valuable knowledge
You're welcome.
Ahhh that explains a lot about 2023! Glad you're alright my guy
Let me tell you, 2023 was the year of failure for me. So many things just went bad. So much effort wasted. It was heart breaking in many ways but I think it made me stronger. I've come back with more determination than ever.
非常宝贵的经验,谢谢你!
i'm sorry you had to experience that and i'm glad you're doing ok
Glad you survived these plants. This is not harmless. Good to teach others.
Not being able to poop has got to be one of the most scary feelings a person can have
It is. It had me contemplating death. I was imagining a slow death alone on the mountain.
Thanks for the info, Chad. Considering the learning experience with the Prickly Pears, are you staying off them, or just eat them in light moderation? Also, with all the fruits you have around your desert dwelling (Prickly Pears, sourberries, manzanita, etc.), have you thought about mashing them up, mixing them with honey, and make your own form of primitive jellies? I'll bet that they would go very well with acorn mush or acorn pancakes.
I continued eating prickly pears soon after this. Everybody thought I would be scared of them but the reality is that I simply ate way too many. But I am far more cautious now. I only eat a few at a time and I have other food with them. But I also now prefer to juice them and I separate the seeds and pulp and use them in other ways. The seeds can be ground into flour. The pulp and skins can be dried and added to soups or cereals or acorn flour. I also heat the prickly pear juice for several hours until it thickens and becomes a very sweet and tasty syrup. I love acorn pancakes, especially when combined with other tasty flours and pouring syrup on top. But my favorite way to eat acorn is to make acorn mush with fatty meat. It's so good!
Thank you!
You're welcome
Certainly more danger in the wild dealing with unfamiliar foods but I learn the hard way that you can eat too many walnuts. Thanks for sharing true knowledge about our world.
Yes, the same with other nuts too.
Funny enough, in Vietnam, we eat the Xanthosoma plant. It's in the Bún Dọc Mùng dish we have. Of course we prepare it carefully by stripping the skin 1st, then leave it salt water for a while before we cook. Sometimes people prepare it not thoroughly and it gives you a slight itch in the tongue.
Thanks for sharing this. My friend from Vietnam also prepares it.
Brilliant information, graet video. Made me laugh with the prickly pear story... he, he, . Mi grandmother used to say "no comas muchos que te tupes..." ha, ha. "don´t eat that many that will constipate you". Were many of those delicious fruit where I came from. Thank you
"Se te van a tapar". Almost my last words heard. Hahhahaa.
Hello chad.. good to have you back.. with your new hair style..
Thank you!
Me encantan tus videos!
Gracias!
Oh dear, I'm never knew that you were hospitalized, Chad(busy at work lately). I'm glad you're okay.
It happened last year but I fully recovered.
I like your videos
Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨👋✨
Saludos!
Very interesting video, i see it to the end
Thank you very much
thanks for info
You're welcome
Happy you’re okay 👍🏼 ❤
Thanks 👍
You are a great content creator. You are living my dreams, and I want to experience adventures in this way where I can improve and use my survival skills in nature. Can you make a getting started guide video for those who want to start this adventure like me? With what subjects, what skills, in what geographies, with what techniques should we start this exciting life?
That is an interesting video topic. I will ponder that idea and see what I can do.
@@ChadZuberAdventures Great, this is perfect, I hope you like this idea and see this content, I am already very excited, I hope we will meet one day while having an adventure of survival on an island without knowing it :)) Thanks to your video.

Intresting. Never thought that big amount of seedy (?) fruits can be dangerous. Well, i know that vast majority of seeds is not digested by our bodies, but i did not have this idea that this could be even fatal. Well, thank You for that knowledge.
Yeah, I totally underestimated the potential dangers of eating a lot of a fruit like prickly pear. But if you really think about it, it does make sense. And the fact that there was no sign of it getting any better. After three days it had just gotten worse and more painful. I could have caused serious damage to my intestines. That wouldn't be good.
Thanks Chuck 😮
AWESOME VIDEO!
Thank you!
Good advice
thank you chad for sharing information، i from persian🙏🇮🇷
Thank you so much! Blessings to you.
Oh my friend, i wish you be fine... in good health...
