Saw all those dandelion flowers, and making an alcoholic tincture for great tonic. Now to have another spring/summer ALONE session, ... and see how different it is than the last summer/fall ALONE starv-a-thon. WW II story was that an American soldier was stranded and protected by a Japanese farmer. Farmer gave the soldier "gobo" roots to eat for all the time that he was there. Gobo is the Japanese word for burdock roots. Need to make a stew pot of stinging nettles. Sounds like he's doing the good job of trail blazing and reopening up the northern woods and lakes for further exploration and wilderness camp outs.
I know it's a bit late but when you have the chance you should try boiling the stinging nettle and afterwards chop them into a paste and mix them with some fried wild leeks, It's delicious with a sunny side up egg and some boiled bardock roots. I eat them every year since I can find nettle and wild leeks in my local farmer's market
you should use a block of wood like cedar or maple soaked in water....and put you food to be cooked on it.....wrap it in fold then put it on the coals. the soaked wood would keep it from burning....
Nice video Chris. I've never even called to or located a gobbler, wearing a blue cap... Ha the turkey act differently in Spring when they've been hunted before.
They will thrive with enough food and cover. And hens will often survey your call area before the tom will, and if the hen spots you, they all will vanish.
Thanks beardsman! This one was very good. I'm actually watching these with popcorn much like 12 you'd do watching a blockbuster movie. Hope you are planning another epic series like the puddle lake. That one is by far my favourite.
Thanks! I'd love to! I'd have to find somewhere worth visiting first though. There aren't too many places that I knew that fit those conditions. But for sure, there are some epic adventures to be had!
Just stumbled across your channel. The information you give out is amazingly detailed. Awesome job! I also like how it is 50 minutes so you make sure I can intake everything lol.
And I really try to cut it down...it's agonizing! I won't just make them short though and cut out the info, so the channel isn't going to be for everyone! Thanks for watching and appreciating the details.
Burdock is a good blood cleanser. It fights infection. The older Woody burdock root make a great medicine in a tea form. It fights infection. Bull thistle is great for fighting parasites and helps your liver. Wild onions taste amazing and also fight infection both bacteria and viral. And that trouts fish oil is very good for you. Another great video.
Nice video as always and while i been watching this i have coaght two rat's out side in a live trap lol so it is a good night so far just wonder how many i will catch befor the night is over :) and yes there are a lot of rat's where i live :(
LOL no not these they are city rat's and nasty one's they carry a lot of thing's you dont want to have in you and they all have a lot of flea's too ,, I have seen some in day time that are very sick where you can walk up to them and wack them with a sick :(
I did leave them out side my gate and the local stray cat's took them so they didn't go to waist at least there are about 4 kitten's with out a mom that come around every night
Excellent video. I have some favorite youtube channels but I think you have made it to the top of my list since I first found you doing the wilderness challenge. Have you thought about using the burdock leaves to cook in to save having to use foil wrap, I have no idea if it will impart any flavor but I'm guessing it will prevent your food from burning. In the UK I have tried meat wrapped in butterbur leaves in a pit oven and it came out great.
How does the thistle compare to lily pad root? It always has baffled me to why stocked fish mostly don't reproduce, weird. Great cooking! You two worked well together, good banter. Been following Zold from his start. Waiting for the moose maple leaves to get big enough to wrap trout in. Its interesting how the color of our food trick us into thinking it is something its not, there are restaurants that serve in the dark or with blind folds and you eat unseen foods for a different experience, trickery at its best. What a smorgasbord. Try 50, I sometimes think I'm still in my 20's Tasty tid bit at the end.
The thistle is totally edible, but this one wasn't great so might have been a Canada thistle or some variety that isn't too good. There are several different kinds so they won't all be bitter. The burdock I found was very edible, in fact, comparable to a root veggie like carrot or potato...I didn't find this out until I did another experiment (video to come). I think the brookies are just too sensitive to spawn and they need to have that history to the lake or creek. If you knew why, I'm sure you'd get a scientific medal! What moose maple? You wrap up your trout and cook them in it? How? You should do a video!
Yes, warp the trout, also moss to keep them from burning and provide steam. Also heard of roasting in a bed of pine needles for 20 minutes. Often catch and cook you are limited to what resources are at hand, not always ideal. Make do with whats there. Gave it a go on a a new stream this evening, one small chub, two small yellow perch and one very small trout, all in the new stream, the trout was only 5" so it and all the others went back into the drink, threw a line in a know trout brook on the way home and one more below the size limit trout and at which point the mosquitoes were bloody murder so called it a night.
I have a porcupine to cook....maybe burdock to wrap with big leaves and then some maple leaves inner? I don't have any moss around. I'm thinking big earth oven. Any experience? It's a rather large specimen.
A friend of my would marinade the porcupine, never tried it though. It was one of his lesser, quieter dishes, he didn't talk much about it, some would think it odd that he ate porcupine. They are easy game, slow but tricky. Interesting, no moss. It can be found in complete forest floor cover by the acre. Sphagnum. I have not done a lot of pit cooking but what I have found is a decent bed of coals is important, the larger the meal the more coals. The last time I tried lobster some along the edges of the coal bed were only half cooked, part red part still raw. Clams also, some opened up and others not quite done to satisfaction . Coal bed, seaweed, lobster and clams, more seaweed a tarp then cover with sand. It yielded a delightful smokey flavor, for sure different.
I'm back in the South and it's terribly dry here in the forest. Quite unlike the North where there is plenty of good moss to use. I think I might try maple leaves and burdock wrapped and I get you on the not cooked. It's a big animal, so I'm thinking big fire, big coals and big and lots of rocks as well as overnight cook. I doubt there is a way to do it excessively. I'd need 450 degrees for at least a few hours...about the size of a good sized turkey.
Another good one m8-still binging on yer vids bro!Is that dog a presa?What is the season on the wild leaks?I think maybe the fire steel would be a nice backup to yer main fire starting method ye?
If I can, I use live bait as a rule. It works for everything What fish are you targeting? I have found that the single most important tactic for fishing, is to fish where no one else does. Lures are pretty much secondary to location. Get as remote as you can...that's my life long lesson about fishing!
I can hand drill, bow drill, flint and steel , ferro rod.. good knowledge to have but what do i use the most to start my fires...I too use A BIC LIGHTER 99.99 % of the time
I use modern when I can. I've tried all sorts of primitive stuff, but when I need to get food, I trust the modern gear. 100 years ago, when there were more fish and fewer people, that stuff would actually be fairly productive. Every once in a while I try to go primitive to see what happens.
I'm just discovering Clint, but I loved how he bellied up to the bar, as it were, to dig in. Enthusiasm like that is contagious! Kudos to both of you and thanks!
How to do you not get stung by the nettle when youre handling it ?I'm wondering because I always get stung by it for some reason lol is there a technique?
Avoid the soft parts of your hand like the back, palm, etc, use the finger tips. I also get stung, but some water and scrub and it goes away for me, so no big deal.
To get rid of the gritty flavour I'd usually get rid of the outer husk of the burdock root. I've heard you're not even supposed to eat the outer part of the root in the first place. Also, the parts of the roots that branch out are the most tender. I'm not completely sure if the burdock in your area actually has that trait though, as your burdock looked greater while the burdock in my area looks like the lesser variant, which does require different preparation.
Clint Zoll has good videos, I gotta sub him. It's too bad about the burnt burdock and other stuff. Oh well. That corn whatchamacallit at the end looked really good. Nice one.
@TheWoodedBeardsman you should sign up for the next season of Alone tv show just subbed great vid not joking this is exactly what they do. Google :Alone on history channel
I def like seeing someone showing the average camper/hiker whats good to eat. Wild edibles yummy. The only negative I have is the narrator talking while video goes on....not a fan of that. ;)
Your vid's are def up there on my top 5, I consider you first cause it appears your the only one doing the wild edibles, wild game on all your videos. A big cheers to you!!!
Ticks I do two things one is before I leave home I rub Vicks vapor rub on my socks around my pant legs and on my dog it keeps ticks away really good and if I for get I rub mint or catnip on my lower half and again on my dog ! Cats love the dog when he gets home !
When you are out in the brush what do you do about ticks A few times I have found ticks crawling up and it's deer ticks also so it's dangerous to get Lyme disease and I don't want that so please help me find a solution
if im a homeless man i will chose to leave in out door or wilderness , you can eat fresh food fish and even wild animals ! than digging garbage eating garbage on the city,,
Hey just a mention but I am a metal fabricator here in Calgary Alberta, I would really like to donate something to your adventures, So if you need anything particular made let me know and i can build it and send it out to you.
I don't understand why you are doing Native American recipes when you live in Canada you should do your research for Northern Ontario native Canadian recipes which are a lot higher and fat

Great video 🎯
Thanks brother!
love burdock... the Japanese call it gobo.... steamed with soy sauce and sugar...
Hi Chris: Watching to the end was difficult because my hunger kept growing. Good to see Clint with you Thanks Brian 76
Haha, yeah it was pretty tasty, especially the dessert :)
Most excellent harvesting and information, the best channel(s) on RUclips bar none.
Thanks Lewt!
Awesome video and bush cooking mate...love the look of that cake at the end!
Thanks Steve!
My man I watched this entire video and this has inspired me too get out in the bush! From start to finish, what an awesome edit you guys!
Thanks, and yeah, get out there man!
good life!
good stuff dude 🖒🖒
Thanks Ruben.
Good video food looked good zold outdoors when he heard the word pike he will be there lol
Ha, yup!
i will swing over and check him out. Temagami is an awesome place. spent lots of time between there and Latchford.
thanks for sharing
Some really great fishing there too! Thanks for the porcupine, my son already wants a quill from it to give his stuff animal a sword LOL
Man! We loved this, your channel rocks :)
Saw all those dandelion flowers, and making an alcoholic tincture for great tonic.
Now to have another spring/summer ALONE session, ... and see how different it is than the last summer/fall ALONE starv-a-thon.

It's delicious with a sunny side up egg and some boiled bardock roots.
I eat them every year since I can find nettle and wild leeks in my local farmer's market
Cool! I'll have to try that in the spring!
Because Adventure.
:)
Nut milk 😂😂😂
:)
OMG, you make the best wild edibles videos!
Nice video! Keep it up!
I catch most my brookies in small eddies under the edge of banks.
That's where they like to hang out!
you should use a block of wood like cedar or maple soaked in water....and put you food to be cooked on it.....wrap it in fold then put it on the coals. the soaked wood would keep it from burning....
The Wooded Beardsman Chef, Awesome idea! :)
I enjoyed this video a lot , good eats, good conversation, fishing stories and adventures how cool is that😎.
you're amazing!
Nice video Chris. I've never even called to or located a gobbler, wearing a blue cap... Ha the turkey act differently in Spring when they've been hunted before.
Bah, I called in more than a few hens this year. Too many hunters and not enough birds!
They will thrive with enough food and cover. And hens will often survey your call area before the tom will, and if the hen spots you, they all will vanish.
I had the hen at 5 yards for 30 minutes...there are very few gobblers around here any more.
Sorry I missed this video when it first came out! Good job guys!
This is my kind of video!
Was a great way to kick off a trip up north. Again thanks for the great meal man. All the best to ya brother.
Thanks Mr. Zold, right back at ya!
Thanks beardsman! This one was very good. I'm actually watching these with popcorn much like 12 you'd do watching a blockbuster movie.
Hope you are planning another epic series like the puddle lake. That one is by far my favourite.

Nut milk.
I shot my drink, right outta my nose!
:)
first time here but i know i ll b spending alot of my time in urs videos.
Just stumbled across your channel. The information you give out is amazingly detailed. Awesome job! I also like how it is 50 minutes so you make sure I can intake everything lol.

Another great video.
Thanks Micheal. I need to do some more with the burdock...didn't give it a fair shake really.
The Wooded Beardsman you are right about the young ones. They taste better if you harvest them small ones and peel them.
its also good for cuts bug bites and burns
great content. just curious why you didn’t grab the clover by the thistle? think i saw plantain there as well
Nice video as always and while i been watching this i have coaght two rat's out side in a live trap lol so it is a good night so far just wonder how many i will catch befor the night is over :) and yes there are a lot of rat's where i live :(
Nice, will you eat them?
LOL no not these they are city rat's and nasty one's they carry a lot of thing's you dont want to have in you and they all have a lot of flea's too ,, I have seen some in day time that are very sick where you can walk up to them and wack them with a sick :(
I did leave them out side my gate and the local stray cat's took them so they didn't go to waist at least there are about 4 kitten's with out a mom that come around every night
Nature doesn't waste - ever! Something will always take the calories you don't.
Omg bushcraft lol
I feel like I would mix the burdock up with rhubarb in that state. I suppose the best way to check would be to snap a stock and smell?
Where did you harvest the foil? Jk. Great video man. I enjoyed the info. Subscribed.
Thanks Todd, yeah, I have been know to cheat fairly often :)
🍏

I'll have to look into that...but yeah, I have thought about it!!!

You guys ought to hook up with Greg Ovens Rocky Mountain Bush craft Canada
you know what's wild man, the result of sugar from maple trees.... that's wild. no maples here - very very few birch here.
Another good one m8-still binging on yer vids bro!Is that dog a presa?What is the season on the wild leaks?I think maybe the fire steel would be a nice backup to yer main fire starting method ye?
May I ask what you are using for bait and tackle, live in Sudbury mostly use something small with gold colours
live bait for sure, just wondered if you used anything extra
If I can, I use live bait as a rule. It works for everything What fish are you targeting? I have found that the single most important tactic for fishing, is to fish where no one else does. Lures are pretty much secondary to location. Get as remote as you can...that's my life long lesson about fishing!
I can hand drill, bow drill, flint and steel , ferro rod.. good knowledge to have but what do i use the most to start my fires...I too use A BIC LIGHTER 99.99 % of the time
Amen!
shouldve used a stick for fishing pole than that modern one in this vid
I use modern when I can. I've tried all sorts of primitive stuff, but when I need to get food, I trust the modern gear. 100 years ago, when there were more fish and fewer people, that stuff would actually be fairly productive. Every once in a while I try to go primitive to see what happens.
Good cooking!. Nice of you to take Clint out and share some wild foods.
Fatten him up before heading North!
I'm just discovering Clint, but I loved how he bellied up to the bar, as it were, to dig in. Enthusiasm like that is contagious! Kudos to both of you and thanks!

I'm not completely sure if the burdock in your area actually has that trait though, as your burdock looked greater while the burdock in my area looks like the lesser variant, which does require different preparation.
I've never found it to be bitter at all. Ours are very mild in fact.
Where am from the fish's in the river dont really bite i know there in the water am I doing something wrong
Probably, keep trying...what are you fishing for?
Nice video! What knife is that?
It's called the Trout and Bird.
By Grohmann
love these types of videos !
What the hell is the matter with you?
Some stupid spammer! I deleted their comment.
Clint Zoll has good videos, I gotta sub him. It's too bad about the burnt burdock and other stuff. Oh well.
That corn whatchamacallit at the end looked really good. Nice one.
I re-did the burdock in another video which I'm still editing. It's good! Kind of like carrot/potato mix!
The Wooded Beardsman - That sounds decent
What did the dogs eat?! :(
Dog food LOL
where are you from?
Southern Ontario, grew up in Northern Ontario.
U smoke hemp?
eat the tree
Have you tried trees before?
The Wooded Beardsman yes if you add salt and pepper it tastes like steak
Should make yourself some dandilion and burdock ale :-D
Sharing some nut milk with the boyz! (just jokes, love this channel)
@TheWoodedBeardsman you should sign up for the next season of Alone tv show just subbed great vid not joking this is exactly what they do. Google :Alone on history channel
I have applied every year and they still won't take me LOL
but didn't you say your nut a bush crafter
Hahah! Nice one.
I def like seeing someone showing the average camper/hiker whats good to eat. Wild edibles yummy. The only negative I have is the narrator talking while video goes on....not a fan of that. ;)
Thanks for the feedback. I gotta find a method to get that info in there the right way.
Your vid's are def up there on my top 5, I consider you first cause it appears your the only one doing the wild edibles, wild game on all your videos. A big cheers to you!!!
Ticks I do two things one is before I leave home I rub Vicks vapor rub on my socks around my pant legs and on my dog it keeps ticks away really good and if I for get I rub mint or catnip on my lower half and again on my dog ! Cats love the dog when he gets home !
Hahah, nice!
Native American Cooking lmfao we r in Canada. I think Canadian native cooking is a lot better from the true north👍👍👍👍
When you are out in the brush what do you do about ticks A few times I have found ticks crawling up and it's deer ticks also so it's dangerous to get Lyme disease and I don't want that so please help me find a solution
Long pants/boots, avoid tall grass. I take my chances for now, Lyme is still very rare in Ontario.
second comment
I love your videos - but I like it, when you talk and explane to us directly, like we are with you - the voice over ruins that experience, I think
if im a homeless man i will chose to leave in out door or wilderness , you can eat fresh food fish and even wild animals ! than digging garbage eating garbage on the city,,
Hey just a mention but I am a metal fabricator here in Calgary Alberta, I would really like to donate something to your adventures, So if you need anything particular made let me know and i can build it and send it out to you.
Thanks! Might be pretty expensive to ship to Ontario though!
shouldn't be to bad, depending on the weight of it.
Its cool that you reply some comments because not very much RUclipsrs do that These days ps: my Grammatik Skills are not too good becouse im german😅
Your English is fine!
I don't understand why you are doing Native American recipes when you live in Canada you should do your research for Northern Ontario native Canadian recipes which are a lot higher and fat
hmmmm.
Awesome adventures with you
