This is the first video of harvesting inner bark from branches that I have seen. I have been wanting to find it for survival food but wanted to minimize tree damage.
Hi! If you are not already I would suggest pouring boiling water over the bark and into a cup, putting a lid on top and letting it sit for 10min, some of the nutrients are actually leaving your brew with the steam. Thank you for this, very useful😊
Glad you liked it Elin! I usually do not care much about a little bit escaping with this method as it works well for the things explained in the video, however it is something that others who watch it may want to do, so thank you for the tip. I'm sure others will appreciate it!
I learned that using boiled water for teas and herbs is actually too harsh and can be damaging to them but that we are to use water as soon as it starts to show bubble activity but I'm wondering if with inner bark you're actually supposed to use hard boiled water ..? Maybe you could try doing it with soft boiled water and see if you notice any difference and its efficacy and how it makes you feel.
Hi, I don't know why you don't have more subscribers or views. The quality of your video, details, and audio are superior to the others I've tried to watch who are covering the same subjects. God bless you with a great year. I appreciate all you are doing. Thanks so much. Hugs, Linda Lee
I just curious where you learn what you know is it just mostly because you learned it from a family member like a parent or grandparent or maybe like a local Indian or shaman ?
I am self taught with a lot of knowledge coming from various books, videos, documentaries, and a lot of trials and errors. I first started foraging in 2008, and have been gaining in knowledge since then. I cover more of that in my Q&A video I did recently. Feel free to check it out! Thanks for commenting!
And thank YOU ..really, truly from the bottom of my heart..I really like the way you take the time and you try to speak clearly and you make sure that you do a very professional job !
You're definitely missing out by skipping the needles-- just the vast amount of vitamin C is extremely helpful with beating any illness. The astringent properties and terpens will also do an amazing job of knocking out chest colds, among other things. I've never yet used the inner bark medicinally, just for food (harvested from the trunk), but I'll definitely be giving it a go next time!
At this time, I'm not finishing all your videos. I'm adding them to my channel so that I can watch them later. Right now my goal is to collect excellent videos to learn from.
So I harvested a variety of small branches from different trees that I wanted the inner bark from. I dried them & put them in mason jars. I figured I could peel the outer bark off later & it would be easy to get to the inner bark. Do you think I was right or should I have peeled it fresh & then dried the inner bark for later use? I have Wild Cherry, White Pine, Witch Hazel, Weeping Willow, & some others. Are they useless for medicinal purposes?
hotmale5221 the bark will release easier when moist, so next time I would remove the bark directly and then drying it if I where you, and harvesting on a damp day😊
Any idea how to make pycnofinal, it's said be French maritime pine?, I live in Canada Maritime surrounded by pine, so French may not matter! Anyone that may know please chime in. THANK YOU
Off topic...... I need to k iw how to save / dehydrate and save sassafras. Root.... do I just peel it and shave it down..dry it and keep in a jar for teas..
There is no reason to shave it for drying unless you want it to be shaved, but yeah essentially that's pretty much it. Dry it and store it. Just ensure no mold or mildew while drying and you should be good to go! Hope this helps and thanks for asking!

Very nice video. I especially found the part useful where you explain which part of the tree is the best to use for this. Thank you Josh.
I’m down a rabbit hole with making mullein tea.
I make Mullein tea.

Well thank you very much Linda, that is nice to hear! I appreciate your comment and you are very welcome!

@@TrilliumWildEdibles What is the tea for or what does it help with? thank you

You're very welcome, I'm glad you are enjoying it! Thank you for the kind words too, they really mean a lot to me!
Excellent video I have so many white pine in my yard here in Michigan. Ive learned so much from one channel in two days.
Glad to hear it Devexifies!
Very helpful, thank you!
I just harvested cottonwood buds for balm of Gilead. I was going to throw away the leftover sticks but I'll be doing this instead, thanks!
You're very welcome! That's awesome and a really good idea darzey! Thanks for commenting!
White pine is one of my fav plants and the very first one that I ever harvested. Great video man 💪
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Okay great, I hope you are able to learn from them!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, is there any way that we can harvest the bark and then store it? Like maybe freeze it?
In times of hard hunting native Americans survived the winter by eating the inner bark of white pine.
Also i love your vids, they're really wonderful.. please keep up the good work.
Thank you, I'm glad you like them! Thanks for commenting gardensofthegods!
Vegetable oils will work to remove sap stickiness as well.
Ty!

Pycnogenol!!
Can you do this with Southern pine?
Nice Mora you got there...I want one..
Thanks Kennynva T., you can find them on Amazon all day. They're really nice, I always carry two of them because of that. Thanks for commenting!
Make pine needle soda out of the needles.. I have 2 jars going.
That's something I still need to try!
Can you turn this into a tincture I harvested some today and put the inner bark shaving along with the needles in with everclear
I have seen lots of videos people use the outer brown bark of the pine, i am confused
Help me pls
Any idea how to make pycnofinal, it's said be French maritime pine?, I live in Canada Maritime surrounded by pine, so French may not matter! Anyone that may know please chime in. THANK YOU
Is this process the same for white oak bark harvesting? Should I be looking for young branches instead of using trunks of mature trees?
Yes actually all inner bark should be collected in this way from young twigs or young saplings.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles Thank you.

Is it possible to dry the inner bark in the oven?
The heat can probably damage the medicinal substances.
@@ado4224 I think your wrong or people wouldn't be boiling it.
Would it be fine to eat the Cambium without boiling it?
Actually yes! The inner cambium layer is just fine from white pine. It has starches and electrolytes, even been used as a flour substitute/addition.
The inner bark is very sticky
The video and the sound track don't match so it's almost impossible to follow what is going on.
How do they not match? I just watched it and they definitely line up. So it's on your end.
@@TrilliumWildEdibles The words were being heard but the picture was static. I just tried it again and it is working ok now thank you.
Oh dear, sounds like a technical issue. I know sometimes mine will do that if my internet speed drops. Glad it worked for you though.
