I have an elderly Uncle who was born in 1921. To this day he prefers dandelion greens because that is what they ate during the great depression. He also mentioned chicory. (and groundhogs)
Michael Blasser it is delicious. I find it funny that folks will pay $20.00 for a dandelion salad...but won’t walk into the bush and pick their own. No worries...whatever makes you happy.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks 87 year old grandma she couldn't even speak English wandered across the street from her house with a paring knife and headed for the woods !there she was harvesting dandelion greens to make a salad for her and her aged husband. someone called the police! to Big Copes come out there and tazed her and pushed her to the ground.... afterwards they would not even release her to her grandchildren that lived with her right across the street! they had to take her downtown and book her, she has to show up in court ,,,!!!I seen this on RUclips, doesn't it just make you feel like a bull moose and want to tear the trees up,,,,,corruption no acountability
@@markeverson5849 nice fake story learn how to type / spell
My grandfather was the same as well. He preferred dandelion greens over any fancy lettuce because that’s what he grew up eating during the Great Depression. Even though he lived in New York City with my grandmother, my grandfather made sure to hold onto his father’s house and farm (my great grandfather) in upstate New York. Growing up, he told me that they grew their own food from there extensive garden and raised their own livestock. Even with all of that, things were still tight while he was being raised and he just became very accustomed to eating things like dandelion greens. I say; “ More power to these men for liking the simpler things in life.”
@@markeverson5849 there is no way cops Arrest anybody for picking grass of the ground,
Edit: ok they actually did it wtf
yes close ups would be nice but its nice to find a dude who knows his stuff amongst all the wanna be experts
Everyone should learn foraging. Three summers ago i learned about foraging the most common 20 wild edibles in urban areas. Now i live in the country and most "weeds" on my property and in the woods are edible. I now know of over 200 edible plants 3 yrs later. I know i could live off them other than in Jan and Feb because i'm in Ontario. I'm learning about all the edible mushrooms now. Pretty important knowledge to know for any emergency. Once you learn and try to eat them...you will never forget folks! I try to teach my hubby but he doesn't care. It bothers me. I always tell him, "what if there was an apocalyptic situation, how are u gonna eat?" He laughs..and says, "ya but i have you, i'll be good"...
If i were to no longer alive though he'd be screwed. Knowledge is everything folks. While we still have internet is the time to learn this stuff. Plus it gets us in touch with nature and it's fun. It's important on all levels. I have a much bigger appreciation for all things in nature now. It will teach us to respect nature just from spending so much time with nature. Now after only 3 yrs of foraging, there aren't many plants in my area that i don't know the name of or it's use and edibility and how to eat it and what parts. I even eat flowers and succulents that i've planted. Many succulents are edible. They usually grow on stone hills and mountains and are called stone crops. Delicious...only most red ones are poisonous and i stay away from ones with yellow flowers. And i don't use pesticides in my garden so i can eat my flowers. I add them to teas. One of my fav foods is stinging nettle....add it to soups, stews, barritos or anything really. It's one of the world's healthiest plants and in the Summer and fall i eat some everyday!! Stinging nettle grows near a water source. Last Summer we had some stinging nettle that popped up strangely beside our pool...it totally knew that body of water was there. Nature really is so amazing!! 💗👍
EDIT: And for the winter months i'm going to have to practice eating cambium (inner tree bark) and trapping/prepping/eating small animals. As well as larger animals. Drinking pine needle tea and certain mushroom teas for immunity. This stuff is so important to know and i wish all who are reading this can learn these things. You can be an expert forager for your area in only a couple yrs!!
Always more to learn plus it’s a great excuse to get outdoors my favorite wild edible is probably beaked hazelnuts
You're living my dream life. I've spent so much time surviving alone in the wilderness in Tennessee and it was some of the best times of my life. I have a wife and two kids now so it's not really an option anymore. I do take my son out and teach him everything I can about survival but I wish I could stay long-term again
I wish I could do that
I've always wanted to do something like that. It kind of sucks I might not have that opportunity anymore
@Josh Q Aw, thanks man. I tore my meniscus a while back and had knee surgery. I'm sure if I work hard enough, I'll get back to, or somewhere close to, my physical ability
Life is long Lads, do everything you wanna do.
Careful what you wish for ,we are in 5D now
Content like this is more useful than 99% of content on RUclips. You, Tony Sentmanat, Athlean X and the RUclips dad are the realest channels on here.
dont listen to athlean its trash advice and view grabs
Pro tip my dad taught me this: if you want to try dandelion coffee wait until fall to dig up the roots. Let them dry either on a rack or a screen in the sun or a well ventilated area with a fan, cut them up and brown them in the oven then make coffee as per usual its not to bad.
Springtime: Gos camping, starts prepping to go off grid and live in wild.... camps more and more and getting ready to live wild adventure.
Summer:little more prepping, hanging closer to water and enjoying hunting and exploring.
Fall: harvest time for crops , more hunting, fishing, and exploring. Loving choice to go back to a hunter gatherer life.
First day of winter : "I'll take 2 large pepperoni with mushrooms and olives, and a couple 2 liters of cherry coke. " "Now what's on Netflix? "
Good tip on the red spotted purslane leaves. Yikes! I never knew that and am surprised I've never eaten any! On a trip to Alaska, many years ago, my wife & I stopped at a visitor's center somewhere on the road in Canada and found a TON of dandelions in an area where nobody was. We ate dozens of flowers and they were the sweetest I ever had. Never even thought about dogs or herbicides! Lol. Didn't seem to hurt us! Cheers, brother!
3:48 actually, a better way to tell dandelion is by the stem. Cat's ear has the same leaves AND flower as dandelion, but a different stem.
Dandelions have many flowering stems all coming from a single base, and the stems are hollow and contain a milky substance.
Cat's ear has deviated stems, with multiple flowering heads coming from a main stem, and the stems are all solid.
So yeah, the stem.
Great content :)
I couldn't agree with you more where wild edibles are concerned. There's so much out there and whilst there are differences in the names of some plants between the staates and here in England, the latin names remain the same and we share so many plants here in the northern hemisphere. I tried my first rose petals on Saturday and the taste reminded me of marsh mallows, so delicious and a taste that went on until I'd chewed and swallowed the end remains completely. Well' soon be able to find the first of the wild strawberries, which of course are awesome and not long after these, the wild apples and the plums too. Thanks for sharing another info packed adventure, it's greatly appreciated. Take care...
John King thanks for the comment. All great points. Knowledge is key. See you in the bush.
Many varieties of England's native wild herbs were brought to the US by my British ancestors. They have naturalized here.
Dang. poet much 💀
super cool, always wanted to just get rid of phones and become a caveman.
Instead kept writing and became a keyboard warrior
@@lanchenbalaishram793 what?
@Lanchenba Laishram Are you writing your autobiography here my friend?
@@lanchenbalaishram793 lwai macha
Cause other ppl are so insufferable?
Slowly absorbing your knowledge so i can live like Ayla. Haha... kidding.. my father lived like this and the few times he came out of the forest to visit, he'd teach me as much as he could. I miss those days. Pure happiness. 🥰
@heathertaylor8904 I was looking at your reply and as I saw the name Ayla my daughter phone me and yes I named her after the Earth Children heroine Ayla by Jean M A url it was just strange coincidence lol ) my daughter was born in 1993 I first saw the story via the Darryl Hannah flim Clan of the Cave Bear Jean M Auels first book I have all 6 books
@anuvabastidanakist2437 I love the earth children series 💜 strangely I still dream about Ayla from time to time. Her character had such a profound impact on me 😊 I get stuck past mammoth hunters though lol.. can't remember the names of the books past mammoth hunters. I mostly enjoyed Ayla alone, or with jondalar. Iza and Creb, I adore their characters as well.
I love that you named your daughter that! I wanted to but my ex husband absolutely refused. He would pick the most boring names like Jennifer or Rebecca (no shade to Jenny's and beckys!) Your daughter has a lovely name, and I hope you share her namesake with her one day 😊💚
@@heathertaylor8904 She already knows I have the film and the books I was working for a company A E Harris at the time she was born so called her Ayla Elizabeth Harris the Harris is her mom's name we never married but we are still friends now my daught is 30 this month
@anuvabastidanakist2437 wow.. it's crazy seeing your kids get older. My oldest is 26 and it's completely freaking me out.
I've started my family learning to forage with wild lettuce ,dandelion , some mushrooms and prickly pear fruit and nopales, the normal nuts . Persimmons and crabapples in season. The food is out there. You mentioned Gandhi , I remember him , looked like a walking cadaver when he was murdered. He was a devout vegetarian.
Survival situation. That’s a relative term considering living is unto itself is survival. Humans have just grown to use to luxury to understand what living truly means.
Congratulations on your courage and disposition. I was raised in farms and farms. We always ate lettuce, arugula, cabbage, almeirão and others. But Edible Plants from the Middle of the Jungle I still don't know what you can or can't eat; I would like to know but I still don't know. Thank you
Your videos are great but some close ups of some of this stuff would be awesome ! Thanks man .
On it. Appreciate it!!
Thanks for the informative video dude, I just found your channel and it’s amazing! Keep up the good work dude, I’ll be keeping up with your channel from now!
I didn't know you had a channel, I am pleasantly surprised
I think Goldenrod and wood sorrel are pretty available in most places as well and edible. Speaking of "not gonna fill you up" I think most lavish nations, The US mainly, have become acustomed to eating till we feel full. We've become a gluttonous species. The body and system are fixed so we eat what we need for energy, the rest is stored, so the more we store, the more slothful we get. It's why other nations that eat what they have to survive, such as native tribes, African nations, etc. They are more physically fit, more active. Also for foraging, unless you are in a life or death situation, make sure to take a little here and there, not everything, let the plants and animals have some left to flourish and continue.
wow it was quite interesting how he turned that stick into a shoveling stick. I would like to see in detail how I can make my own shoveling stick. A video on how to turn a plain old stick into a hitting stick would be helpful also instructions on how to turn a stick into a stirring stick. Just a few ideas for future videos. Thanks
Maybe a bit late, but I think the idea behind it is just like a pry bar. Narrow enough to be easy to punch into the ground a few inches, and strong enough to be able to pry up the section of soil with the root in it. I dont really know why he stripped the bark off, and i think he does add almost a flat top to it just for that punching down and prying up application. All guessing though. Usually when someone practiced does something though, they dont waste time with unnecessary stuff.
This is awesome. That area looks like parts of either Rampart Range or Gold Camp i usually go romp around.
Your videos are informative and keeps interest, keep up the good job 🤘
Thank you for sharing my brother!
Stay safe and keep having fun!
Will do. Appreciate you watching.
Love seeing your early trade videos. So much you have learned and grown. Not only in stature but voice and camera work and abilities. Great work.
i learned more from this video than a month in school
Man you and the things you make are so cool!
Bro i have been watching every vid you make now. This is amazing to watch and learn. Keep up the great work my friend!
Love your video's brother keep up the great work.
I know this one is older, but I love the videos. . I have had local dandie lion with no knowledge of surroundings such as dogs and what not. Thanks for the heads up.
Love your content, keep it coming...u rock man!
Thank you for sharing this with us!
This brings a whole new meaning to "oh look, its the last dandelion" in ice age
Haha. Thanks for watching.
Dandelion coffee is actually very good a female friend of mine in the hobby Farm back in the woods in Wisconsin Wendy she makes it by the bucketload and when I stayed there and helped them out do a little Roofing and stayed there for some of the summer a few years back she would bring me coffee in the morning and with cream in it and made from roasted dandelion greens and roots. I drink it everyday for about a week cup after cup after cup that's what we drank and it tastes very good! don't forget you can put cream honey in it sweeten it up a little bit and it is very similar to coffee !and very good for you ! full of nutrients in vitamins right:-) well one day it happened it gave me the you-know-what very very bad!!!! I was sitting in the outside John and I mean my system was cleaned out because dandelions are also known to be as a diuretic! :-) you didn't mention anything about the bitterness of dandelion greens?
Hey, pursline is here- porcsin (porchiin). I like it! Thank's survival videos! I watch the videos all back. I see them all because these are interesting. Bless you!
Wait, so I can just eat a dandelion? The yellow part?
Every part
Every bit...totally raw. It’s a great trail snack.
I love ur username 🤣
@@zephaniahmann9165 As a recreation. But in a survival situation, if something gave you dysentery and you're losing water due to constant shitting or puking you could find yourself in a pickle. Fast.
Thank you, truly. I needed this. I've been trying to figure out how to live. The first half of my life I learned to live wrong and have been struggling to correct that..... I end up outside quite a bit. Be safe, take care brother
Thank you so much...I'm learning a great deal. . love this...
You’re welcome.
Your a good instructor Mr.Donnie.
Is there a book that you would recommend to get this knowledge and not get poisoned? I'm wanting to learn these things so I can be self sufficient in the time's to come.
I’ve got the book “country wisdom and know how, a practical guide to living off the land” and the book “going off the grid” by Gary Collin’s. The country wisdom one is great because it literally has everything from making tools, weapons, traps, identifying plants, tracking animals, building shelter, and has pictures and step by step instructions for all of it.
@@astpttmn thank you!
@@washburnbilly your welcome!
@@washburnbilly it’s actually called survival wisdom and know how. Not country wisdom and know how. Both are great books. The survival one is the off the grid out in the woods type stuff and the country wisdom one is more about living off you land by farming and stuff like that.
I've tried just a dandelion flower by itself, it's actually pretty good.
Wow คุณตัดผมแล้วดูดีมาก ถึงผมจะฟังภาษาอังกฤษไม่ออก แต่ผมก็ดูคลิปของคุณจบทุกคลิป ❤️
Great stuff. Thanks.
My grandmother used to always have Ziploc bags of perslane in her freezer and shed put it in soups and salads. Till this video however i only ever knew them as verdolagas, nice that was my cool fact of the day.
This video so usefull. I watching it now and maybe what i know from this video Will be usefull.
Buenísimo video amigo saludos
Chúc Kênh ngày càng thành đạt nhé
I've always wished I could live out in the wild surviving off of everything out there but never had anyone teach me im kinda teaching myself just going out learning how to do it hands on, haven't tampered with foods yet but these are all helpful tips
that might come on handy - thank you
My grandmother said yellowroot tea was best thing for digestion, keeping everything working like it should. Wish id have paid more attention growing up
A Dandelion. Must be the last one this season.
I love dandelion salad, the best one are those which grows under cow dung, they are large but not too bitter because they don't see much light they stay yellow. Add eggs and voilà! delicious
I recently bought a small bag of organic roasted dandelion root from a local herb shop and have been making "coffee" with it. It's actually a very pleasant drink. But like many teas, how you prepare it really matters. Don't use too much or steep it for more than 5-10 minutes, or it becomes too bitter. Add a touch of milk/cream and maybe a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to take some of the bite out and make it more smooth. I don't really think it tastes like coffee though. It has its own distinct taste (actually very similar to burdock root tea). It's definitely worth at least trying. Everyone's taste buds are different.
Nice video
Another excellent, simple vid. Very much enjoyed it. d:^)
You are indeed living my dream life
Is this a dude from an Alone season? Looks familiar lol nice video man
He is
Me and my buddies are planning a primitive camping trip here in GA in April, gonna build a small shelter and find our food and water, any suggestions/tips?
Sounds like a great adventure. Study up on the plants...specifically weeds. Most are edible or can be used as a vital resource...glue, cordage, medical use. Shelters are important and will keep you safe and secure. For food...fish first. Way easier then hunting.
Donny Dust’s Paleo Tracks thank you!!! Will for sure study up on my plants.
Did you go already?
How was your trip?
Thanks

Literally no one:
Me, an agricultural student specializing in corp production: *my time to shine*
Personally I'd eat earthworms and/or fish till I could make a clay pot in which to boil the greens into stew. Worms are very easy to come by, are high in proteins, and can be used for bait in fishing - Assuming there is a river.
On a side note, purslane is extremely high in vitamin A, but while it does have vitamin C, it's not that high. You'd need to eat a pound of purslane to get your daily vitamin C requirement. Better than nothing, but, just saying.
I'll also add that the great thing about dandelions is that the root is high in sodium (Relatively speaking). I know that in modern society, many people need to watch their sodium intake because they consume too much, and so we forget that it's actually a necessity for life. In the wild, you'll be hard pressed to find enough sodium. You can get it from meat and rarely from plants, like dandelion roots for example, at least if we're talking meaningful quantities.
Also, dandelions have about 40% more vitamin C than purslane.
Make more videos like this please
Cool
How to cook Muskrat: must BOIL first and then cook meat all the way thru. LOL. J/K. I've made some dumb mistakes in the back country too. You definitely did the right thing by tapping out since that could've gone even further south in a hurry. Have to say that you built a killer shelter!
Yeah. Shove it in his face first 🤦♂️. Jk💀
Have u wver tried dandelion and burdock juice i loved it as a kid
Let's be honest, you won't be getting a juicy steak anytime soon if you're lost or stranded, hunting requieres skill and tools, so better stick to greens and other more sustainable methods like snails or limpets if you're stuck in the shore.
I watched just about every video you have I love them you have provided me actually useful information and I thank you
on this one I noticed something
Brother are you wearing eyeliner?
С такой стрижкой круче смотришься👍
I need you in My life 💓 Donny 🥰🥰 So awesomely 😎
Can I just say you're badass!
Incrível 🤠
How do you defend against wild animals coming to eat your food?
I saw you in tiktok
i want to try that kind of life someday..
How many dandelion roots do you suppose it would take to meet a meal (going with 500 calories for a meal)? I’d assume a lot.
Do a survival how to on heart healthy foods!
the poison look alike to perslain is called spurge, if you arnt sure you can tear a leaf off and if it has a white milky sap its spurge and its poison
Have you try joining the TV Series NAKED AND AFRAID?
I think you could be a good fit on that... you have to give that a try because you really have an awesome survival skills.
he was on Season 6 of Alone
I am now wondering why I never tried dandelions...
Have you come across a seed that would make a loud popping sound when add to water, look like a brown rice in it shell? They grow on the end strick.
4years ago damn dude. .👌🏿
If growing near water the flowers are so juicy and taste like honey! ❤
On occasion if you’re out for long periods of time so t scrape the dirt off the roots and eat the roots raw so you get nutrients that aren’t found in the plant.
Do you think a longer digging stick would save on labor/energy?
You and The Grey Bearded Green Beret (Josh, I think) resemble each other and into the same thing, 😃
Hi
The root can be used to make coffee by roasting the roots.
Hey Donny. So say I want to look up all the information about the plants in my area. Say, for example, which plants can be used for cordage, or are edible, how do I do that? (I live in Florida btw)
Do a search online. Florida has cactus and that is edible. You can eat the cactus and its fruit.
You should also check your local library they usually have a book with all of the plants in your area or state sometimes they even specify if they are edible in the books
I've found some wild blueberries before, the best blueberries I've ever had. Correct me if I'm wrong but, blueberries with a crown on them are safe to eat and blueberries without a crown on them is likely poisonous.
The dandelion tap Root goes into the ground 3 ft, and it if you don't take it all out, the dandelion will grow right back
A good survival instinct in The wild is to find someone’s house and drink from the water hose
LOL!
I use to do that when I was a kid skateboarding around everywhere I would just stop in at any house I wanted and drink from there valve on the side of the house lol
ayy you the guy from tiktok
3:10 "...Everything looks kosher."
Only if you checked for bugs before eating. Bugs are not kosher.
Unless it's 1 of the 4 types of locust that the Torah specifically names and says they are considered clean. There are some bugs that are up for debate because they don't specifically match the attributes mentioned in Leviticus. I'm not sure if this was specifically mentioned by Rashi so I'm not sure what the official consensus on it is. I know different Rabbis have different interpretations but not sure what more believe.
Actually, bugs are edible. It's just our modern sensibilities that keep us from eating them.
@@MsEagle20 huge difference between kosher and editable. Kosher means they are considered unclean to jews just like pork.
