This video was so good, must have taken an incredible amount of effort. The multiple shots, cinematic shots, different views, a clear concise and well detailed script (or if you're just speaking then it's insane) and of course a great host! Thank you for these videos
Yeah,true that! My dad gave poison sumac to my mom that put her in hospital,he came in from cutting brush and touched her face.I have gotten it from the roots when transplanting other plants also from my dog who ran through it.
I guessed! But because of its medicinal value. I knew slippery elm had the qualties you described. But now I know what its trunk and leaf patterns are. I also guessed poison ivy. Thanks for the info!!
Great video as always. I live in France so the information you give is not always relevant to me but you're so thorough and you always point out native and invasive species. Many people overlook this information.. :)
Did ANYONE guess ‘Slippery Elm, Ulmus Rubra’..!!!!!???? 😫 I feel like a single-celled amoeba next to this guy!!!! 😂 Screw watching make-up tutorials, I need to get this whole out-door thing down! 😫
AV8RIX USA Lol I know what you mean. Adam is brilliant at what he does. I attended one of his workshops last year and I knew going in that I wasn’t going to learn everything he was teaching so concentrated on just three things. One being the hickory nut milk. It was fantastic and I hope my hickories produce this year so I can give it a try myself.
Thank you for sharing your gift. I don't know the Latin names (most of the time) but I love to hear them. Your knowledge is superb and so inspiring to "know your land." 😊👍👍💖
To me, the key in ID'ing Poison Ivy (or Poison Oak - Toxicodendron diversilobum - out here in the West US) in the winter, is to see how those tan, felt-covered terminal buds look like somebody is extending their middle finger, and the smaller branches point up, just like the back of somebody's raised hand. Those plants are flipping everybody off, giving them the bird, saying 'watch out'! It's so distinctive and diagnostic. It's easy for our vision and brains to notice that quickly, for some reason, lol. It's amazing how dense some patches of Toxicodendron can be! Happy foraging!
GREAT VIDEO! I have a cedar tree with the winter creeper growing up it and have stayed away from the 'hair roots' thinking it was poison ivy. Poison ivy also is a source of nectar for honeybees, lucky for 85% of us the urushiol does not get in the honey.
Great information!! The worst case of poison ivy I ever had was in the winter. I wish I had this info then lol!! Thanks Adam for all you videos. Your an awesome teacher!!
Me too. I had recently moved to Georgia from Illinois. I was cutting vines off small trees & pulling them out. Seems the urishriol was in the sawdust. I had a rash all down arms & torso to my underwear line. I'll never not recognize poison ivy again, even on winter!
Me, too! As a child, my friend and I we're pulling down vines in the woods early spring to build a fort and got the worst case of poison ivy! We knew what it looked like in the summer, but not when there weren't leaves on it! Thank you for all of your informative videos!!! Love them!!! Please keep them coming!!! 😊
This didn't feel like 11:30 seconds of video. Usually, I feel conflicted/frustrated about the B-roll additions to the central lecture of meaningful, actionable, useful content. Maybe this time I'm swayed by the calming effect of winter images while I'm in a subtropical heatwave. ;-) I deeply appreciate the lessons, and the depth of knowledge. Thank you for your work.
Right? I don't get it, what could one possibly dislike about this video? Do they hate nature? Information? Trees? They certainly can't dislike Adam because he's simply delightful, so I'm guessing they probably gave the poison ivy in the video the thumbs down, they're probably not in the 15% either.
You need to add Virginia creeper to your common vines that grow up trees and some people might confuse with poison ivy; but the Virginia creeper does not cause a skin irritation. The attachment to the tree is different than PI's using little "sucker" pads on the "rootlets".
Demulsent- going to learn more about what that means. Keep teaching about the common trees in different seasons. I love that you did a winter teaching. Thank you.
If you're not a teacher, instructor or professor, you should be. Your approach is excellent and you were clearly made to teach. Ive taken many, many couses throughout my longish life and have learned from a small handful of what I consider excellent teachers. You are probably the best. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your gift.
Winter Tree Finder by Watts & Watts is great, inexpensive guide for identifying deciduous trees in winter using leave scars and buds as a guide. Still have mine from my college botany class in the mid-70s!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm one of those unlucky people has an extremely bad reaction. I never thought of watching for it during the winter. Thank you!
Yay I guessed right on both! Thanks for the key ID features. I have been wondering about winter ID on that elm. As always, I love your videography and attention to detail. Your work is inspiring my own here in Oklahoma.
Your channel is so educational! That Cicada and fungi episode was Soo stinking cool! I think it's really interesting the timing the living underground and the connection to fungi. Fungi is the most abundant organisms on Earth right? The way they communicate and reproduce is crazy cool!
I used to spend much time in the woods. Not all poison ivy effected me. I'm not sure but I think it depends on how old the ivy is and time of summer as well as what the weather has been. The only severe itch I got was when I ran into the middle of poison ivy when someone came up on me while I was hiking. It pained me but saved me as I was not followed.
poison ivy has never affected me, but that's mainly due to my stance on never touching any plant with leaflets in groupings of three. i'm also pretty proud for nearly instantly identifying the poison ivy, and correctly guessing based on region and process of elimination that the tree was some sort of elm.
i am one of those people who can handle Poison Ivy without having an adverse reaction. I have handled it many times on my property along with other weeds that seemingly have not a bad effect on me . Also, I have what I thought was Creeping Jenny that grows high up in a tree and somehow attaches to the fascia of my house . It has 5 leaves and tiny berries. The Winter Creeper you mentioned looks the same . Its hard to get rid of. I am constantly trying to pull it down , yet it always comes back.I hope you will do a Video on various types of Herbs growing wild in Ohio that can be foraged . I am not good at identifying any of them and always worry if I am picking something that closely resembles another Herb but may indeed be poisonous .I live in a Southeastern Ohio . Thank you for this video. I already learned quite a bit .
i guessed slippery elm when you mentioned healing throat properties and it looked elm-ish. ive been wanting to find this tree as im a singer n always hear of its praises. thx for the great video. harry vines are not fine!🍻
I broke out with it this year for the first time when it had no leaves! I knew what it was, but learned my lesson well! I won't touch it again no matter the season.
I used to have extreme allergic reactions to poison . When I was 12 I had an extreme case and haven't had any reactions since i actually moved to alabama for 3 yrs and didn't look for it once whilst adventuring.
I'm not allergic to poison ivy, yet... guess who gets to pull it from the garden and orchard, lol. Not that I'll do that without protection (gloves and long sleeves), but that said, I know that I've accidentally pulled it by hand before with no reaction. I will not test it. Neither of my sisters were allergic as kids (we grew up in the woods and have all accidentally been exposed), but one developed that allergy later as an adult. I also know someone who used to be allergic, but has become insensitive to it by eating tiny (less than 1 cm) leaves wrapped in bread once a day. I would not recommend that path to anyone, though.
The only time I had a reaction to poison ivy was I got a cut on my leg and some of the plant rubbed against it. I broke out over a third of my body and had to go to urgent care. The nurses were impressed, not in a good way. A few hours and a couple of injections of benedryl and I was all good again. It had gotten into my blood that one time. Never had a reaction to it before or since.
I appreciate and learn from your videos. Thank You! Thank You! I would love to see a video about recognizing all aspects of N American trees in all seasons. Hope you have time to produce one.
Thank you. It would be awesome to learn about medicinal properties of Poison Ivy. It has been vilified by everyone and no one that I know has taken time to put together a story about benefits of poison Ivy to us Humans.
I did recognize the poison ivy vine. It grows all over the place here in northwest Georgia. I am not sure if Slippery elm does though. This morning I was walking the woods looking for plants that could possibly be eaten. I would like to know more so I will subscribe and keep watching your videos. Btw, I hope you washed your coat when you got home because you accidentally brushed a twig of that poison vine. Thank you very much for producing such enlightening videos.
new to your channel. Find it quite interesting for what you share and I might pick up a book or two about my local plants. Botany sounds fun! As a fisherman I always look at plants around me. Would be cool to see some plants around water or even within the water ways. After all.. Water lays on land, so having water videos would still be relevant? :P
Thank you very much! I’ve subscribed because I’m sure that I will be able to learn a lot of new things from your channel. I Don’t need Latin anymore at my age, but I certainly need the survival skills, lol.
Slippery Elm is endangered. Many other plants contain mucilage is available in MANY other plants like mallow and marshmallow. ALL elms contain the mucilage desired.
When we moved to the country I didn't know what poison ivy looked like. I was about 12, and during one of my walks in the wilderness I picked some poison ivy with berries on it after the leaves had dropped. The next day I broke out from head to toe with a very nasty blistering, burning, itching rash that took weeks to heal.
Here in the North Carolina western, we are called the rainforest lol.. I'm a little late in life, looking for kinder true ways to live in this beautiful mixed up world ✌
I WISHED you would make DVDs of ALL your you tube vids for us to keep . I'd buy every series and buy more as gift sets.. Many people need to know what you are teaching...Thank you....Blessings
Well done. Thank you. Of possible interest: Demulcent word origin: mid 18th cent.: from Latin demulcent- ‘stroking caressingly,’ from the verb demulcere, from de- ‘away’ + mulcere ‘soothe.’ Source: Apple computer dictionary.
Adam I had ZERO clue what tree that was. LOL I did however guess that devil weed...poison ivy! Hahahahaha I’m not one of the 15% either. LOL I seriously neeeeed to get better at tree identification. One it’ll help my mushroom hunting but so much more too. Until then I’ll run to RUclips and find a video you’ve already done on whatever I find or have a question about and sing your praises from the roof tops! Thanks so much hun. Have a wonderfully blessed week!!! ~Lisa
Thank you again for a great video. I am very familiar with slippery elm and it is my go to when I feel that off feeling in my throat usually heralding a cold. I have not seen the tree in the woods yet. I now know where to look for it. Thank you. An interesting thing about poison ivy sensitivity is you can develop a sensitivity with continued exposure. I did not react to it for many years until only recently.
I'm an arborist/environmental consultant for hire and it looks like we work in the same kind of environments. This is going to sound weird, but I've found the perfect pants. I've been telling all my colleagues that work in the field and get dirty but still have to look nice- Dockers 360 flex. The fit is amazing while not restricting you at all- AT. ALL. The texture doesn't let anything stick to it- just wipes off. They don't wrinkle. You can be digging up a girdled root and then go to a meeting with DNR just by spiffing up and maybe changing your shirt. I'd wait until jacket weather before going in the field with them though.
I as a kid could just look at poison ivy 50 yards away and look l was beaten from head to toe with a whip. Nowadays 20+ years later I can run through thick thickets of the stuff and not see a bump. Strange right?
I guessed both species, yay. I love slippery elm powder and I use it every day. But I heard that it's endangered species, so we can use marshmallow instead. Thanks again. Also this video is a very low volume. It was hard to hear.
Thanks Adam. Once you said demulcent I knew exactly what it was. Now I'll be able to identify it in the winter and not just when it has leaves. 15%er here. Much Love
I have read that when poison ivy first starts leafing out some people will carefully pick a small leaf and swallow it. Supposed to build immunity to the oils. I have never tried it and have no intention of doing so unless some doctor is prescribing it and will stay nearby in case of problems!
I've heard stories about native peoples doing this long ago but not sure how accurate that is. If you don't like poison ivy (and who does) you can use jewel weed to help neutralize the oils in the field
J. Williams I use rubbing alcohol on a washcloth followed by cool water and soap immediately after coming in contact with poison ivy to dilute and wash away the oils. Then follow up the next couple days with the same process. For me it works great every time.
Adam, you do know that you can eat poison ivy to build immunity against it right? (There are some particulars to know but I've done it for several years now and when I partake of it early in the season, I don't have the violent reactions to it that I had before I learned this)
Your awesome and near my area I'm in Gibsonia PA and mother n law in North hills where your at sometimes for conventions or such. I can't wait to meet you some day you're absolutely amazingly informative! Your am apocalyptic dream lol.... Thanks for the hard work you do for us in your videos!!!
Adam, I've been looking for elm trees, slippery and American, in order to help me in finding Morels. I have found small ones in the summer due to leaf identification. I have found Morels in the same spot over the last 3 years, but would like to find more. I live in SE PA and go to many different spots. How common are they considering the Dutch Elm disease? I would really like to find more Morels considering the amount of miles I walk. Love your channel. Keep up your great work, it is greatly appreciated.
Here in Western PA, large native elms (Slippery and American) aren't that common. I tend to see more large slippery elms than large American elms, but small American elms are plentiful. Dutch elm disease really did a number on these trees.
I guessed Elm... I say poison ivy and I get it! Both of my boys could roll in it & not get it! Jelous! Thank you for ALL the wonderful information you give us!!! I would love to hike the wood with you & pick your brain! Thanks again & continue to be careful 😉
Just walking through the woods looking for a snack... Euell Gibbons kid for sure. Learn Your Land from the walking talking encyclopedia of Nature. Thanks.
OMG WHO even gave this a thumbs down!!!!!??????? 😳 What INGRATE has NO APPRECIATION for super knowledgable people sharing their wisdom with you, so that your ignorant, Donner Party- starving ass will know how to SURVIVE some day???? Have some GRATITUDE for vids like this!!! 😳
Thank you for this vid. In greater SanFran, because the birds have little or few berries of anything to eat, they eat the bluie-black invasive privet ("do NOT plant this tree anywhere in America !!!") and black poison oak berries. They then fly around and plant the seeds along the fences and other trees of the area. I had to clean an entire area of poison oak out of the local park system. It is invasive, and the oils etc are very dangerous.
I had never had a problem with poison ivy but I picked mangos off a tree and the sap got on my shirt. Oh,my. Reaction is like ivy or sumac. Do mangos have the same compound(s)?
@@LearnYourLand lmao!!!! let me send u some, we got 40 cm last week and getting more this week. Ur the best love when u upload ur videos, ur so smart ....at my old age I am learning so much more thank you for what you do .
No snow in my country. But we do get some 300 days of sunshine and long summer with temperatures consistently over 30C. I would like to see some snow falling but it would be with mixed feeling as I'm afraid the cold might kill my tropical plants
"just walking through the woods looking for a snack ..." absolutely priceless. the best naturalist on the tube.

You're welcome, and thank you!
Marina Capri truth
A 'good human' who doesn't live to honor God in faith with repentance encourages evil humans.
The problem with not being affected by Poison Ivy is that you are capable of spreading the oils to places that affect others without a clue
That happened between my boyfriend and myself. I'm not sensitive to it but he is! Poor guy..
Yeah,true that! My dad gave poison sumac to my mom that put her in hospital,he came in from cutting brush and touched her face.I have gotten it from the roots when transplanting other plants also from my dog who ran through it.
Your pets can rub the oil off on you and others as well.
Maxine McClurd why did you transplant it instead of just killing it?
@@cannerbernerd1836 I understood that it was other plants that were being transplanted and the roots were in the way
If my high school teachers had his enthusiasm, I might have finished school!
... that's the typical response of a dumb ass.
I guessed! But because of its medicinal value. I knew slippery elm had the qualties you described. But now I know what its trunk and leaf patterns are. I also guessed poison ivy. Thanks for the info!!
people die by doing that! humans are all affected by it so if you eat it you could die..
Me too. Same as you regarding the slippery elm but I knew the poison ivy based on the looks, aerial roots, fact that it was growing up the tree etc
Great video as always. I live in France so the information you give is not always relevant to me but you're so thorough and you always point out native and invasive species. Many people overlook this information.. :)
You my friend have the best RUclips channel for foraging content, learning, teaching all around amazing work as always
I literally found myself taking to the video and cheered when I got a identification right. You are the best and I would love to go on hikes with you!
Awesome! And thanks!

I'm a proud member of the 15% club!
Thank you again for a great video. I am very familiar with slippery elm and it is my go to when I feel that off feeling in my throat usually heralding a cold. I have not seen the tree in the woods yet. I now know where to look for it. Thank you. An interesting thing about poison ivy sensitivity is you can develop a sensitivity with continued exposure. I did not react to it for many years until only recently.
Thanks for watching, Mary!
I love your video's. I learn a lot from them. Keep them coming. Thanks!
I'm an arborist/environmental consultant for hire and it looks like we work in the same kind of environments. This is going to sound weird, but I've found the perfect pants. I've been telling all my colleagues that work in the field and get dirty but still have to look nice- Dockers 360 flex. The fit is amazing while not restricting you at all- AT. ALL. The texture doesn't let anything stick to it- just wipes off. They don't wrinkle. You can be digging up a girdled root and then go to a meeting with DNR just by spiffing up and maybe changing your shirt. I'd wait until jacket weather before going in the field with them though.
Looks like the woods near the
parks and rec in my town ...
I as a kid could just look at poison ivy 50 yards away and look l was beaten from head to toe with a whip. Nowadays 20+ years later I can run through thick thickets of the stuff and not see a bump. Strange right?
Us morel obsessed folks should all know Slippery Elm..it is THE morel tree.
Great info! Thanks! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks, Thomas!
I guessed both species, yay. I love slippery elm powder and I use it every day. But I heard that it's endangered species, so we can use marshmallow instead. Thanks again. Also this video is a very low volume. It was hard to hear.
Adam, you best be casting some worms into that pool for trout @1:07
Thanks Adam. Once you said demulcent I knew exactly what it was. Now I'll be able to identify it in the winter and not just when it has leaves. 15%er here. Much Love
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Adam, my family and I always enjoy your videos 😁
You're welcome, and thank you!
I have read that when poison ivy first starts leafing out some people will carefully pick a small leaf and swallow it. Supposed to build immunity to the oils. I have never tried it and have no intention of doing so unless some doctor is prescribing it and will stay nearby in case of problems!
I've heard stories about native peoples doing this long ago but not sure how accurate that is. If you don't like poison ivy (and who does) you can use jewel weed to help neutralize the oils in the field
J. Williams I use rubbing alcohol on a washcloth followed by cool water and soap immediately after coming in contact with poison ivy to dilute and wash away the oils. Then follow up the next couple days with the same process. For me it works great every time.
I was told the same thing as a young kid. Have never had it since, I'm now 70 years old.
@@theflyingcrud I love poison ivy for it's food source to animals and birds. Native plants....are essential in our dying web of life.
I have a friend who does this and never reacts to poison ivy now.
I guessed Elm; but beyond that I had no idea.
That was fascinating! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Adam, you do know that you can eat poison ivy to build immunity against it right? (There are some particulars to know but I've done it for several years now and when I partake of it early in the season, I don't have the violent reactions to it that I had before I learned this)
Hi Diana, yes I am aware. Though I'm unaware if I could ever build enough immunity to eat its buds and shoots.
Where was this filmed? And yes, I guessed them both!!!!
Your awesome and near my area I'm in Gibsonia PA and mother n law in North hills where your at sometimes for conventions or such. I can't wait to meet you some day you're absolutely amazingly informative! Your am apocalyptic dream lol.... Thanks for the hard work you do for us in your videos!!!
Thanks! You're right, Gibsonia is right up the road from me.
Where are you located and finding these trees!? Do you stay in one area or travel for most your filming? I liked and subscribed.
Adam, I've been looking for elm trees, slippery and American, in order to help me in finding Morels. I have found small ones in the summer due to leaf identification. I have found Morels in the same spot over the last 3 years, but would like to find more. I live in SE PA and go to many different spots. How common are they considering the Dutch Elm disease? I would really like to find more Morels considering the amount of miles I walk. Love your channel. Keep up your great work, it is greatly appreciated.
Here in Western PA, large native elms (Slippery and American) aren't that common. I tend to see more large slippery elms than large American elms, but small American elms are plentiful. Dutch elm disease really did a number on these trees.
@1:03. Opening trailer for red dead redemption 3
Thank you Adam. I learned a lot..
Thanks, Daryl!
I guessed Elm... I say poison ivy and I get it! Both of my boys could roll in it & not get it! Jelous! Thank you for ALL the wonderful information you give us!!! I would love to hike the wood with you & pick your brain! Thanks again & continue to be careful 😉
Just walking through the woods looking for a snack... Euell Gibbons kid for sure.
Learn Your Land from the walking talking encyclopedia of Nature. Thanks.
Who goes out in the woods just to find a snack?
Mushroom hunters, wildcrafters, and this guy!
OMG WHO even gave this a thumbs down!!!!!??????? 😳 What INGRATE has NO APPRECIATION for super knowledgable people sharing their wisdom with you, so that your ignorant, Donner Party- starving ass will know how to SURVIVE some day???? Have some GRATITUDE for vids like this!!! 😳
Very interesting. Thank you😻
I just learned another thing. I knew the bark but not the buds of the tree or the poison ivy.
Thank you for this vid. In greater SanFran, because the birds have little or few berries of anything to eat, they eat the bluie-black invasive privet ("do NOT plant this tree anywhere in America !!!") and black poison oak berries. They then fly around and plant the seeds along the fences and other trees of the area. I had to clean an entire area of poison oak out of the local park system. It is invasive, and the oils etc are very dangerous.
Adam, I appreciate your choice of music. Also, I was right on both guesses! :-) Great videos, and thank you!
Thanks! And congrats on getting both species!
Adam can you do a video on how to identify magic mushrooms PLEASE.
I had never had a problem with poison ivy but I picked mangos off a tree and the sap got on my shirt. Oh,my. Reaction is like ivy or sumac. Do mangos have the same compound(s)?
YOU HAVE NO SNOW!!! Come to Montreal we have plenty to share
What do you mean no snow? There was clearly an eighth of an inch on the ground. :D
@@LearnYourLand lmao!!!! let me send u some, we got 40 cm last week and getting more this week. Ur the best love when u upload ur videos, ur so smart ....at my old age
I am learning so much more thank you for what you do .
No snow in my country. But we do get some 300 days of sunshine and long summer with temperatures consistently over 30C. I would like to see some snow falling but it would be with mixed feeling as I'm afraid the cold might kill my tropical plants
@@CharlesCarabott the cold would kill those tropical plants. It's pretty with the snow but you do get tired after a long winter
awesome popularized widedibles info thank you so much for your videos👍👍👍
I'll stick with plants and mushrooms. Lol. For some reason I can't get the tree ID thing down. Good vid.
I don't need to chew on Slippery Elm buds to make my mucus membranes moist.... Adam makes me moist enough :)
