  • If you ever got lost or stranded out in the bush with no food or gear would you go hungry? Or could you gather up a good feed of wild edible plants in a matter of only a couple hours? lets find out.....

    Bought a smile to my face at the end when you could see the amount of food gathered in such a short time and with the Tui calling in the background.....I love this country and your videos are awesome mate, they help me unwind most evenings from the bustle of city life. Wish I could get out there more often.

    That's a massive feed for two hours and even contains a lot of carbohydrates. Gotta love the Kiwi bush and you are a wealth of knowledge! Greetings from Canada and thank you for the great work. The land provides if you take good care of it!

    Here in Hawaii we have the tree fern . The tree fern is considered invasive Here. The native Hapuu fern is good eating but you need someone who knows how to prepare it , or its not good tasting. New Zealand looks so much like Hawaii. I enjoy your videos very much. Aloha.

    Awesome video mate. Great skills. People looking for a good book on this subject should read “A Field Guide to the Native Edible Plants of New Zealand” by Andrew Crowe. It’s a really good book and a handy size to throw in your pack. Love the whio at the end. Beautiful birds. 👍

  • @tamaking7104

    wonderful kaka song to open your video. I'll tell you a good free bush food story. At Waikaremoana I had 1 slice of bread left for me and my sister. So I used the slice of bread to catch a possum (just put bread at the entrance of a plastic sack (pack liner) propped open by sticks. When you hear the possum rusting , wake up and grab the possum. I've caught 2 in 1 night without getting out of my sleeping bag. Anyway I caught a possum with the slice of bread. In the morning walking around the Waikareiti Lake I saw trout, So I used possum kidneys and a line and a hook and caught 2 trout. . So, the moral of the story is when in the bush, never eat your last slice of bread.!! Trout are an introduced species, just a pest fish in National Parks, so don't worry about touristy fly fishing rules, do your bit for our heritage and get rid of those pest fish !!!! (actually baiting hooks is or was legal at Waikareiti which takes the fun out of beating the system.

    haha, I was half expecting to see him grab a bunch of things I don't know about, but this is pretty much exactly what mum and dad taught us as kids. Every bush walk we went on, we'd forage the same things as in this vid when we got pekish. We'd bring food along as well, but you know, as kids its more fun to run around the bush.

    Just wondering where you learnt your love of the NZ bush and your knowledge?
    I was blessed in that my dad took us out to the Tararua huts and the Orongorongas as kids, he always pointed out and named the different plants around us so we grew up with the knowledge ingrained, and with that a love for nature.
    It was a surprise finding out as I got older that most people don't have that knowledge, and many don't have that same love.

    Enjoyed the video. The challenge in NZ forests will always be getting enough carbohydrates. Maori struggled with it, which is why the arrival of the potato revolutionised their lives.(colenso records, in 1841,that on his first trip across Te Urewera his guide had to go back for more potatoes to keep them going).
    Animals in the forest, including the birds, struggle with it, because major sources of carbohydrate such as hinau and tawa berries are only seasonally available. Also many fruiting trees don't bear fruit every year.

    • @KeepingItWild

      I agree, if you were long term subsistence living in the bush you’d mainly be on a Keto diet, lots of animals, the fattier the better.

I'm curious to know how you gained your knowledge, did you set out to learn or have a mentor who told you? You are so fortunate to have such an amazing ecosystem to wander and harvest from.
    Warmest regards from a really jealous guy in Scotland.

    Bro you've got a wealth of knowledge. I was trying to ID the plants before you told us. The only one I didn't get was the karamu (I've never been able to confidently ID it.)
    I've had the Tawa flesh before but I didn't know you could eat the kernel as well.

I got into a heavy plant based diet with no dairy.. that seemed to help wonders. I think type 2 is more commonly caused by diet and the pancreas is still able to work again. From what I know, cutting out dairy and meat can make a difference overnight..
