Im from tropical Australia, but religiously watch Atomic Shrimp, he is an English gentleman who does a whole array of videos, including foraging and cooking content. This is very reminiscent of that and I love it. Great work as always Alex
Biggest tip I've come to learn with foraging is that the absolute best place to forage is your walk to work or college or to the train station or whatever local route you do year-round; by seeing the plants you walk past all the time change through the seasons you can learn so much about stuff specific to your local area, identify different plants and trees and how they change throughout the year, and all for almost no time or effort investment. Another thing is that a lot of oldschool foragers (especially mushroom guys for some reason) will try to scare you or tell you off for using todays' plant-id apps- take it all with a massive grain of salt. There are dangers to eating from certain families and being careful about identification is wise, and oldschool local foragers can be a great resource, but deaths and injury from foraging are incredibly rare and a sensible approach and a little respect is all you need.
You said at the beginning that people rather have the comfort of going to a shop and not having to search for their plants, but when you're as knowledgable as Marlow, you just walk down a path for 5 meters and have basically a full meal with a bunch of different flavours at your fingertips
Thanks alex, thanks for everything. Just videos alone doing stuff i like im from midwest usa. Seeing you foraging over the years, beehive, mushrooming, just getting your own air. I appreciate you doing that and recording it. EHAS
Wow, this is great! I used to go foraging for my horses when they were still around. They loved dandelions and thistles and hawthorn. I like hawthorn too, it is one of my favourites and I even grow hawthorn on my balcony. I had no idea you could eat the leaves. Definitely going to try that! You also solved the grass ring mystery xD
This is the first video I have ever watched on foraging! I spend a lot of time outdoors walking my dog, fishing, camping etc but I'm totally clueless when it comes to foraging. This video was great, it's fantastic to see your enthusiasm and Marlow's passion shine through, and his daughter helping to cook was adorable. Would love to see more!
Whe he pulled out that leatherman my heart melted ❤ my dad gave me one before he passed away and I keep it with me always ❤ highly recommend ❤😢 I never seen anyone with one made me smile ❤
I'm a chef and was watching your videos and love them all and I have learnt a lot about mushrooms I have a tip for you for cooking when your cutting something on a chopping board if you put a damp cloth/towel under the board it will not move around while your cutting your ingredients
Its going to be a good year, i love it when you can read the story nature is telling us. Marlow is brilliant. I learned by just getting out and doing it
Marlow is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to foraging, I find myself watching his channel very often. I also own his book that was shown in this video and it has helped me second to none when it comes to learning how to identify edible plants when I am out and about. One day I'd love to go on a knowledge walk with him, and you too Alex. Also great video brother 👍
I really enjoy your videos, I'm glad that your family is happy to keep you at home so that you have the ability to keep making these interesting vids and I really hope for your success in the youtube community to be able to support you long term!
Alex, you champ.. you've done it again!!! Made one of the most interesting videos on the whole of youTube. I learned more in this video, than I've learned all week. Well done. Now I am going to have to make time to have a look, see what i find in the 2 valleys on the east side and west side of my farm. I know they usually have all kinds of berries, but now I need to see what else I can find in them both. Great family day! Maybe we can find all sorts of edibles, that we can take to the market with us and sell. I am a "Farm to Table Organic Grower, so anything we grow or find, goes to market. [2] Why weren't you gathering all those Dandelions for making Dandelion Wine?? I have a farmer neighbor who demands us to collect all our's for him, to make gallons of Dandelion Wine. [3] Let's take stock in your expertise: 1- A Fisherman; 2- A Chef; 3- A Baker; 4- A Pizzaiolo; 5- A Gardener; 6- A Sprouter 7- A Beekeeper; 8- A Forager; 9- A Camper; 10- A Van Designer/Builder; 11- A Knifesmith; 12- A Skiier; 13- A Surfer; 14- A Hiker; 15- A Painter; 16- A Mycologist; 17- A Traveler; 18- A Videographer/photographer; 19- An Influencer; 20- And a Oompa Loompa!!

Thank you so much for sharing this invaluable foraging information. We thoroughly love watching your videos, they are so wholesome! Hopefully our tiny channel can one day bring as much joy to others as yours does to us 😄Have a great day!
This guy knows a lot about mushrooms 🍄 it's very cool I don't known why but yesterday you popped up on my video list keep up your travels and meeting new friends.
This was my perfect video! I love Marlow have been following his videos for a while now and I loved coming foraging with you both! So inspiring and informative as always Alex :)
Hallo Alex, again a wonderful video. Thank you both. A few years ago I met a female herbalist (some call them Kräuterhexe (in Germany). She Said: Go outside into your Garden. The herbs you find there are the herbs your body/soul need. 😊 Discovering eatable wild plants ist fascinating. Btw: The German name of Hedge Garlic is Knoblauchrauke, means *Garlic Rucola*. Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland von Annette
Nice video Alex! Thanks to Marlow for sharing his wisdom and knowledge with everyone. The food looks delicious ❤ Thanks for another sharing another great video!
Nice one, Alex. There's plenty of new treats for you to find when you next go out on your own and so many what you walk past every day and never realised keep up the amazing work alex 🌿🍄🍄🍄😁👍
my grandmother used to make roasted stinging nettle, she had so many knowledge about foraging. I wish she had a chance to teach us before she died. roasted stinging nettle is very common in turkey.
Alex, I’d love to see you prepare a meal made entirely from foraged/caught ingredients, I.E fish prepared with a wild salad. Love your content, keep going mate!
Im from tropical Australia, but religiously watch Atomic Shrimp, he is an English gentleman who does a whole array of videos, including foraging and cooking content. This is very reminiscent of that and I love it. Great work as always Alex
Thanks for the recommendation im always searching for similar channels, I’m from Perth
Glad to find another Atomic Shrimp fan on here. Not suprising really that we'd like these sorts of videos!
absolutely love atomic shrimp, hes a legend
I love watching Atomic Shrimp too!
Another Atomic Shrimp fan here!
I was half-expecting/hoping Alex to go to Shrimp HQ. I think it would be a great combo.
Marlow is incredibly knowledgable, lovely of him to invite you out and share some of that knowledge first hand. Thoroughly enjoyed it Alex.

What an absolute treat this video was! Nature is amazing! Thank you.
Love this. Learning how to identify plants is probably the most important survival skill there is. So fundamental :) love it!
I could watch you two all day, I find your videos so relaxing, and I always learn something!
Your cheerfulness, enthusiasm and curiosity are inspiring!
your channel really has inspired me to learn more about the edible food in the Swedish countryside, love all that you do and tech us. thanks alex
Brilliant collaboration! I've been following Marlow's channel for years, he's so knowledgeable.
Had a shitty day, much better now. Thanks for posting. Alex is that guy you want in your crew when the zombies come!
Exactly what I was thinking. When it comes down to it, I have no idea what's good to eat and what's not. Very useful skill to have.

Love these videos Alex. Thank you for another great break from the concrete jungle.

How did I miss this video! Two of my favourite mushroom creators
I've learned so much from this channel, keep doing you!

I agree! Seeing the plants in their native habitat definitely helps and makes for great content😄
When you said you was meeting someone with better knowledge on foraging I had a feeling it’s was going to be Marlow I love watching his videos!

Hallo Alex, again a wonderful video. Thank you both. A few years ago I met a female herbalist (some call them Kräuterhexe (in Germany).
She Said: Go outside into your Garden. The herbs you find there are the herbs your body/soul need. 😊
Discovering eatable wild plants ist fascinating.
