Thank You for this! I'm trying very hard to find out as much as possible about editable plants. I've bought books, but it's nice to see them growing!
Wild food UK on yt...
UK wildcrafts is great and a really understandable channel.
Also id definitely recommend getting out and seeing them more
you can eat daisys dandelions and thistle roots you know. 🌼🌻🍃
Everyone should learn as much as possible about wild edibles and medicinal plants now more than ever! I started foraging 3 yrs ago and started in an urban setting with only knowledge of 20 plants and now i know of over 200 edible plants and various mushrooms as well! It's fun too!! I love to go on walks and try to name each plant i see. That's how i remember. And the ones i don't know i take pics of and go home and research. It gives me purpose for my walks so they aren't boring. A surprising side effect is that it cured my longterm depression and anxiety and i no longer ruminate on negative thoughts anymore. The woods can truly heal us!! Lots of medicinal and edible trees as well folks!
They don't call them forests for nothing. For - rest 😊
Thank you for sharing your plant knowledge! We need more foraging content on UA-cam
So glad you’ve got your own bit of land now. What an amazing achievement. I would love to see a body of water installed for trout and carp farming to further teach us on sustainability and survival techniques. Would be so cool and a great additional to being self sustaining.
I'd like to see that too, as long as it was a pond dedicated to our British brown trout, great crested newts and frogs. A pond enhances any woodland area, but keeping the pond free of the leaf clutter from the nearby trees has to be factored in too.
It is an amazing achievement considering it's out of reach for most of us!

Not knocking you, TA outdoors, great content as always
I love plonts
Eu oro todos os dias para que uma música nossa estoura 🙏🏼🎼 eu tenho fé, e sei que um dia vai chegar o dia 😭🚀🙏🏽
Yo man thanks for the free education on wild medicine
Wow..amazing video brother,,greting from your friend Indonesia🇲🇨❤️🙏👍
Awesome as always dude, trying to expand on this myself. Have a few books on the subject, but your videos seems more interesting than fumbling around with it myself. Thanks for the video, can't wait for the next one. Seaya in the next one brother.
✌😎
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you❤️
One of the few channels whose videos I watch as soon as I see them, keep up the good work !
Invaluable advice with this topic buddy.....grwat identification, excellent explanation on types of treatments and the nutrients you can get from them. Really am looking forward to seeing more on the wild edibles and their uses as medicines. Thank you for sharing
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you!❤️
@@amytaylor5454 All great this end, hope you are having an awesome weekend
@@stevetaylor8446 nice. Yes I’m having an amazing weekend. Where are you from?
Love youuuuuuuuu
Buenas noches...
Muy buenos el vídeo sobre las plantas comestibles y medicinales.
Pero ¿Podría traducirlos al español ? Puestos que muchos latino américano no entenderá el idioma en esta hecho el Video, es muy interesantes e importante este videos,
Gracias por compartir con gran parte del mundo sus conocimientos sobre las plantas comestibles y medicinales.
Saludos cordiales desde Buenos Aires Argentina partidos de Gral San Martin.
Awesome video. Though I live in LA and am in a desert in North America this video was perfect.
yes but how do i fish? also i get how countries have fishing laws. but i dont care. and neither should you.
I'm glad to have this lecture. I'm in Japan so there should be difference of the habitation of plants but some of your information have to be utilized. In the surivival situations, the most affordable edibles would be these plants so I must identify the edible ones from the poisonous plants.
Japan is particular ! You have the Sansaï ;) The difference between wild and cultivated plants is softer than in Europe. You eat some wild foot that are forbidden in Belgium for example (Dyopteris sp.).
And you have the nice Nanasasogoyu (sorry for the misspelling), the 7 herbs soup :D
Anyway, nice country that you have, 70% of forest, 20% of primeval forest. Nice.
@@user-qo7qt3wq7h Oh my.... I never expected to have a person who knows our country and culture like you. Especially, I was really impressed to see the word "Sansai (山菜)." Exactly. We have Nanakusa-Gayu (七草粥) which is rice soup with wild herbs. Actually, I was greatly glad to have you through this video.
@@MK-uc3ow I don't know much more than that but it is an interesting aspect! And you also have a majority (or not?) of animists and there are spirits in the stones, the trees.. (Kamis I guess ?)
This is because I study ethnobotanic (the relationship between humans and plants) and our professor, François Couplan, knows pretty well Japan. He fell in love with it and another professor, his wife Keiko, was a chef in Japan so she teaches us to cook our wild plants with a Japanese style !
Thank you for the correction of the words! And so do you eat "wild" plants ?
@@user-qo7qt3wq7h I see. I was also studying Botanics in the university of Hawaii and we also learned the relationships of Human and Plants especially about the medical treatment.
As you mentioned, we as Japanese have the belief of Yaorozu no kami (八百万の神: Many Gods = polytheism) and these Kamis as spiritual gods are not mighty like Yahweh as a christian god but they are the elements of Nature itself. Therefore, we emphasize the connection towards Nature including plants, woods, forests and so on.
In my case, I like to go into the woods and enjoy camp fire. On that time, I often collect wild plants to make soup and herb tea.
In the end, I guess that you are in France so I want to know how you enjoy out-door activities in your nation if you are ok. Thank you very much to give this greatest opportunity to talk to you through this video!!
Hi, friend! You are a great guy! So many useful things to know! You must have spent a lot of time learning this! Respect to you and good luck in your creative work)👍👍👍
💚 Your content is amazing, brother! As someone with a small foraging channel, I truly admire your work and find it inspiring. Keep up the fantastic job and continue spreading the beauty of nature! 🌿
I love learning about editable and medical plants. Great video. My favorite medical plant so far is the oak tree. All parts of all Oaks are anti everything except the acorns. The oak is also an antidote which I have used for various reasons like food poisoning and making a tea from fresh Eucalyptus leaves a little over a year ago. My family dr>nks oak tea on a daily basis, I also give it toy cats, dogs, and chickens. A tincture was given to a park for the wildlife a little over a year ago. 2 days ago my kitten was bit by something which made a leg swell twice the size, I gave her oak tea in chicken broth. The next afternoon all the swelling was gone.
Acorns are in fact edible if they're prepared properly. You seem to be saying that they are not. If prepared properly the great added to Pancake flour once prepared properly and ground into flour.

Hi mike another nice video realy educational u should have more views and more subscribers I will always be subscribed because you are the best at educational survival videos keep up the good work mike!!
It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you.
I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist. ✌️
Thank you.. I wonder if these plants are found in central europe
Many of these are native throughout Europe
this was an incredibly calming video to watch, love your content!
that milky substance from the dandelion also helps well with some pain relieve when stung by the stinging nettle
And here we go 👍👍
I appreciate you tremendously for this. This is what the human race needs to learn and not the kind of learning in school where they just teach you to be a robot slave
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you❤️
Thank you
Absolutely fascinating.
I have since childhood had an intense interest in plants trees ferns and fungi, especially ones that have particular properties and unique characteristics.
When I was about 16 I bought a book called "Plants With A Purpose" by Richard Mabey (I think I spelt that right) Since then I have, with the help and knowledge of my now gone Grandmother learnt a lot about wild plants of the uk but this has given me a much welcome boost of interest and information.
You should only look for wild plants, and it's better to stay away from mushrooms.
I'm sure you've seen the spammer in the comments saying that people have won a giveaway from you. I've reported them but still there...
I see these in my yard but I wouldn't eat them because there is these people who come around & spray the grass with some chemicals
In the USA we have Yellow Wood Sorrel that is very similar to the White Wood Sorrel that you mentioned. The leaves, flowers, and seed pods are all edible and make for a great energy snack while hiking.
The leaves of the Dandelion can also be eaten raw in salads or boiled/steamed like Collard Greens or Spinach, and Dandelion Wine can really pack a punch.
There were a few plants I hoped to see in your video. One plant that I was hoping to see in this list was Watercress, I find it to be a nice addition to salads when camping when I can find it. Another was the Fiddlehead Fern, when washed, steamed, and then sauteed
Great stuff, thanks again we really enjoy your videos!
Very interesting, so much of this once common knowledge has fallen by the wayside. A walk in the woods will certainly be enhanced by being able to identify the plant species found.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you!❤️
Absolutely love your knowledge of edible and medicinal plants something I've always been interested in it's been lost in modern day Society so that we have to be dependent on our government. Edible and medicinal plants need to make a comeback especially during this inflation which is killing everybody.
Love it! Thanks for this Mike! I've found myself more and more often looking for stuff in the woodlands around me that could be edible.
So many useful plants for BUSHCRAFT. I learned a lot.
Lovely. Find your voice melodic and keeps me interested
I wouldn’t take chances with the fungi
You can also make jelly with dandelions.
This a is a really great report Mike. Did you include hemlock on the poisonous side?
Love your channel been obsessed since the first pallet cabin series
Thank you. Very informative. I enjoy this style of video.
Remember, 'edible' does not necessarily mean 'tastes good.' My first attempt at consuming cattails was memorably awful.🤥
Never try potato shoots after staggering home very drunk and quite hungry, then somehow getting the idea that the pale shoots on potatoes left in a dark cupboard look like bean sprouts and should therefore be edible.
`dog violet is also indigenous in Kansas and midwest
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you❤️
Ok. For the last time.
TEA is not FOOD.
Lovely video, thank you so much for everything you do!
*_I really like watching video material on this channel, because flora or medicinal plants are exactly the same as in my country, Indonesia, the owner of this content is always successful, your content is very useful, and it adds to my enthusiasm to work on UA-cam. Greetings from Indonesia. Creative, Beautiful and Sustainable_*
3:59 Where is the documentation?
Very interesting and informative! Can’t wait to see the next one!
unfortunately, the biomes of North America and Britain are seperated enough that many of these plants don't exist here in NA....a few do (stinging nettle comes to mind) but many of the others do not. We do have our own analogs here, and a great many that do not exist in the UK; finding a good wilderness course is probably the resource you can find; they'll give you the plants common to your locality
a plant that wasn't mentioned is Ribwort plantain, Plantago Lanceolata it's commonly used as an antihistamine the leaves can be made into a tea and use as a cough medicine.
Yep, I’ve left out a fair few edibles as didn’t want to make the video too long winded. But will do another update soon.
Thank you for pointing out what you can eat if the situation arises where you are lost. Some plants I know about .Thanks for sharing. We're all of the 15 plants you described to us ,were they all in the same forest or did you have to go to different places to gather them. ? How did you learn about all the edible things for eating and medicinal plants . loved the video.
Perfect!
Stay safe and keep having fun my brother!
Really interesting information on edible plants and how to find them.
This is not good. I have always heard leaves of three let them be❓🆘️
All rules are wrong except for "Don't eat anything which you can't positively identify, that you can't confirm is safe at that time of year, and that you haven't eaten before under expert guidance." Old wives' tales and folk sayings should be ignored in favour of positive, evidenced knowledge.
Nice video man! On the subject of field guides; are there any in particular you'd recommend buying?
Great video mate, love going foraging!
How would you deal with himalayas balsam taking over your local woodland? 😅
Amazing quality video. I wish i could speak english so well to make such amazing videos!
Are there any plants in the latvian region you know are edible? Ive been trying to get more info about wild edibles here
In every country or continent, there are a very different plants and mushrooms. You need to study and learn the difference.
@@kingrafa3938 im aware of that, that's exactly why im asking, it's okay if he does not know, i dont expect to get a response, i reach out to people i know, idk rly any people near me that know much about wild edibles so the internet is the next best thing
As far as I know young ground elder and dandelion shoots are edible, you can eat almost the entirity of cowslip plants. Bunch of clover species have edible flowers, same goes for fireweed as well
@@piromaanz. Google is free
What if you don’t know anything about plants
why would he not know anything about plants???? 🤨🤔🤣😂💀
I've seen quite a few of the plants you featured here in the central Oregon coast range. Thanks for sharing 🤠
High quality video, your soothing VoiceOver makes it excellent. Thanks.
My favourite edible plant in my country is wild garlic and oxalis. 🤠✌️ We live in country that there is a lot of edible mushrooms and mushroom picking is a hobby. 😁👍
Nature ❤️
Garlic mustard….boooooo. Invasive baddy here in Minnesota. Classified as a “noxious weed” to be eradicated.
Common dog violet. Oh my. I didn’t know it’s edible. A a carpet of these covering my yard. They are so pretty
Thanks for all the information. I have been learning a lot about wild plants in recent years. I always liked the garlic mustard for its appearance but then its invasive nature caused me to try to control it, recently however I found out it has more vitamin C than oranges. However I also recently found out a fall blooming plant I always enjoyed is terribly toxic when I identified it as white snake root. A terrible plant I will now try to control with gloves. It is believed Abraham Lincoln’s mother died from drinking milk from a cow which had consumed white snake root a real hazard for livestock .
Great video! Isn't it pathetic how the government is pushing us to depend on their unhealthy food system while claiming that weeds are 'harmful' for us? In my country The Netherlands, people always get rid of those plants once they popup during spring and summer in the garden. I am glad that I have transformed my garden from a tile square to grass, fruit trees, vegetables, etc. Many of these plants grew out of the ground and the insects and smaller animals are HAPPY to forage food in the garden.
Thank you for sharing your videos ,it helping me to identify edible wild food as a beginer’s but i promise I will be careful❤regatds from Sweden
Thanks for the information. Awesome Job 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you!❤️
Sorry this got buried. UA-cam can’t make up its mind what it is and who it serves. Good information. Edible plants are such an important topic.
Thank you so much! Love plants, will try to find it here. Success to your videos!
* Someone mentions lily of the valley *
Oh! Thats the one from Breaking Bad!
I’ve got a ton of these in my backyard (under some powerlines not really in our “yard”) atleast 30 plants spread across an acre and as of now they now have tiny green little black berries and ai cannot wait to eat them!
Sooo hungry for some fresh grilled vegetables 😋🩷🥦🍅
I trying to eat because of inflation... Thought of cooking magpies but my pistol isn't too accurate and ammo is limited
😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍
Ah, sticky plant's, I threw them at friends when I was 5 I still throw them at my friends at 15, never new I was holding something more than a harmless prank
Hello
Oxalis is also here in North America, and is my favorite forgeable
UA-cam ave unsubbed me...that was your survival herb video why they unsub me...do more heebal videos please.
Here's an extra bit of information. Tomatoes are edible and delicious, but their leaves are deadly and are called nightshade.
Very informative Mike. Thank you. 👍😁
Great content my man great job on your delivery!!!
The only ones I would chance are dandelions, nettles and stickies since I know I can identify them without screwing up 100% of the time
I know 0 about plants trees and things to eat in the forest and this seems overwhelming. Anyone know what a good point of start is? Should I learn plant families and classifications? I don’t know where is practica to start
Superb vid, thanks Mike. Think I have most of these (my wood is also in Hampshire), so looking forward to trying some!
WOW
Great vid, inspired me to make more foraging tea's, big up the - Bilberry for the next one !
The Dogtooth Flower spread easily in good soil---too easily if it is in your garden are.
While forageing is important to get nessasary vitamins remember that meat is extremely important, the human digestive system is very unique in its ability to consume plants and require cooked meat. With out meat you will get no or very little protein. Even if you have a lot of protein you need fat more then anything else. Fat has the most calories and will keep you going Wether your in a survival situation of just building a shelter and get tired. Also don't eat the black berry leaves, they taste very bad.
Blackberry leaves do make a good tea, if you pick them when fully green then leave them to dehydrate and crumble for at least a month.
I can't remember where I read it, but apparently 98% of the plants which are classed as edible to humans are only edible (at least most of the year round) as a tea made from some part of the plant.
@@RichWoods23 oh, well I guess I ate a poisonous leaf a few weeks ago. It tasted terrible.
@@lindasano1552 Yeah, that happens. After all, the plant has evolved to pump its leaves full of chemicals useful in fending off bacteria, fungi, insects and other predators. Fresh, young leaves are safest to try. I often pick leaves from mature lime trees during March and early April, to eat as you would lettuce, but by the end of April they tend to have lots of insect eggs attached to the underside (plus probably far tinier things than my eyes can readily see) and even if you should brush those off, by May the leaves become bitter as the tree starts to produce tannins and phenols to protect itself.
@@RichWoods23 Man, I really thought black berry leaves where edible raw, I wonder if it was bitter cause it was to old of a leaf. Thank you.
Clearly different to geographic areas. To not have addressed this from the start, is very misleading.
Awesome only one plant ☘️ recognised by me which is easily available in our area ❤
Good video, arguably the best video I've seen today, arguably the most informative video I've seen today, arguably one of your best Mike good job 😉
do your prepping, stay safe and healthy see you on this tube my best to your family check out canadian prepper and full spectrum survival please let your pals know to prepare
Awesome video Mike. Some great wild edibles in there! 😁
But wont I accidentally eat bugs while eating them raw??
