it was helpful thanks❤❤

Mosquito repellent according to Siberian hunters. Also sometimes used as medicine in Russia (don't know for what) Also known as "Russian oil"

Could you use it for cooking in?

Nice demonstration good to see genuine videos where plans don't always work out 👍I tryed this with fat wood to make a glue resin with ash, worked same way and I done a similar thing first time, thanks for sharing

Thanks for showing how to make the birch oil......it's even beneficial seeing some of the pitfalls you might have. Quick question - is there a better time of year to collect the birch bark and is the bark from dead birch any good also?

One year some kind of small animal collected piles of yew berries from my yew tree and stashed them inside a large plastic outside storage locker. That was nest to the tree.

I have read that the entire berry can be safely eaten, unless the seed is cracked or damaged, because the seed passes through the digestive system intact. I too would remove the seed, because it is safer overall to take that precaution - why tempt fate? - but if the seed is swallowed it might not be dire. Can you please comment on this?

They remind me of creamsickle in flavour. I feel like they would be good as a thickener in icecream because of their creamy flavour and naturally thick inside. I'm interested to see what kinds of foodstuffs could be made using these.

A 10 year study (PubMed Krenzelok) involving 11, 197 exposures/consumptions of yew (Taxus) plant parts, berries and seeds almost all by children <6 years of age found zero, nada, NO FATALITIES. This plant is incorrectly being labeled as "extremely poisonous" based on regurgitated hype and misinfearmation.

Thanks 😊

Nice. We have some growing on a stump in our garden. I will give it a go. Thanks.👍🏾🇬🇧

Thanks for the tips. Good reminders for me as years ago I nearly ate yellow stainer mushrooms at the start of my foraging knowledge as they look so similar to field mushrooms. Thankfully I double checked about the staining I saw when cutting them up for the frying pan!!

Good bit of experimenting there Gary.

Love chicken of the woods, but never thought of charing it. Looks like it works well

So if you where planting a security hedge primarily to have the nastiest thorns you would pick blackthorn all day long?

If you have ever had spaniel come back from the undergrowth covered in cleavers and wood avens you will know all about it.😂

I've just been watching a grey squirrel in the garden harvesting rose hips.

In my experience in South Wales, I've known a number of Hornbeams to have what I can best describe as dimples in the trunk. I believe that hornbeam was also very popular in use as butchers chopping blocks. They make a very good hedge and have an advantage of supporting a large number of native invertebrates.

At last a sensiible way getting firewood

Super useful thank you!

Definitely will! Thank you!

Womderful as usual, thank you

This is my first year of using stinging nettles. I've been collect mature seed on a tote top. I leave them out in the shade (inside) for a day then tap off the bugs over the tote and place in a bowl to bring in. Then place on a window screen over a drawer like box with the bottom lined with parchment paper. After a couple days of drying i gentle roll the pods through my fingers to dislodge the seeds that are ready to fall off. This takes 2 or 3 days and sessions until they are all ready to release. I have two patchs and harvest every other day as they become ready so my drying screen usually has two batches drying. I've collected almost a quart jar full already! I used the greens early on , seeds now. I plan on takeing the stalks for fiber experiment and harvest roots before freeze.

Safe is not silly in the woods, axes are very dangerous! Good post!

thank you Jack and have a good day!!!!!! xxx

We literally cannot see the plant, we can only see you. If it is foraging please let us see the plant.

Thanks for the video🙂

Love a good sitting spot Did try and set a camera a few times just to film what I could see. No talking etc but just so people can see who can’t get out what I se and hear. Nice video mate

You can see wildlife anywhere as long as you switch off and just be quiet, still and patient

Hello Gary. Thank you for posting. By a strange coincidence,, I'm.plottrd up in the shade of a hedgerow on the edge of a recently mown hay meadow, watching the clouds drifting by and the buzzards circling. Thank you for posting. I like your style of presentation. Honest, down to earth stuff. All the best. Jan

You are the best!

Brilliant. Time consuming,but brilliant. Thank you. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

Windows wound down on the way home 🤣

Excellent instructional video. Any chance of seeing the prcess of making the cordage?

Nice vid. Good info. If you never carried para cord, or a spare shoelace, you could make some cord from a stinging nettle stalks. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧😉

great video!

👍🏻👍🏻😎👌🏽

Earned a new subscriber. Thank you, sir 👍

Thanks, this was very useful.

Great Video and Channel! Any possibility of maybe doing a product review of our Firestarter?

Great video and well explained what to look for the conferences

How can you tell if they are 50,000,000 years older than each other?

👍👍👍

Very good.👍

Hi there. Would love to see how you would used the now charred birch polypore to start a fire. Thanks for sharing

I was joking! 😁

But can you ever really prepare a trout for this?

Hi Gary, I tried this today. I did get a slight taste of coconut on a couple of shoots but the majority of them were almost flavourless

Beautiful! Thank you.

best instruction ever
