  • EPISODE 4: Milkweed & Cattail Flour
    Location: Muskoka, Ontario, Canada
    The milkweed plant is the natural life-sustaining domain of the monarch butterfly larvae who choose this wildflower as the only species to develop and grow upon. Sustainably harvested it also represents a wonderful broccoli like vegetable for Chef Paul Rogalski to experiment with. A short walk from expert forager Les Stroud’s own cottage, on the edge of the local gravel pit a prolific bounty awaits for our wild harvesters.
    Directed by Les Stroud, Kevin Kossowan
    Starring Les Stroud, Paul Rogalski

      Not to be overly optimistic, but I think more will one day. Just like with most things the masses don't agree with, it takes time. Because, there's just no way to these presentations and not feel some type of urge to protect these habitats.
      Don't trip too much bro. The fact we're dialoguing in a space like this about this very specific topic shows progress is happening. 🖤

    Les' explanation of monarch butterflies migrating south to Florida in generations and then returning to the same field where the first generation began was so moving. A sense of home and everything it means to us isnt just a place on a map. It's in our DNA. Thanks for sharing that Les.

    Hey Stroud, I wanna say something I hope resonates with you from my heart to yours.
    I’m not sure why you get all these trolls and ignorant minded people but for someone like me who has seen you on TV from a young age to finding you when now I am a little older and wiser(23) your YT channel and being able to connect and see how opened minded, skillful, intelligent and appreciative of your ability to articulate your story’s and adventures into videos for us to learn and enjoy is something I and i’m sure many many more people can never take for granted. the amount of time from your life energy you’ve put into these beautiful videos for us.
    Please never falter from being the divine spark you are for us. You are truly an inspirational mentor for me not just in your survival aspects.
    I wish you a happy, healthy and higher minded new era.

    Hi Les, just thought I'd make a suggestion - You might want to look into getting a verification badge (check mark) for your channel, that way if people see your videos in their recomendations, they'll know it's official content uploaded by you. Ngl, when I first found your videos, I feared they might be unofficial re-uploads. Thankfully that wasn't the case, but getting verified would help dispel any doubts.

    Amazingly done. Approach Netflix with season 2. I've seen the 'Chef's Table' series where amazing chefs are showcased - 1 of which uses natural ingredients from largely unknown sources in the Amazon and mountains in Peru. The chef here in this series is also amazing, but this is about the ingredients and the habitat. What I get from this series is, that there is abundance all around us in Canada, (and elsewhere) and that with some chef know-how and teaching, we all can benefit from the prosperity of the local Wild Harvest. Great job thinking up this series. Keep it up. Would love to see way more episodes... especially in Ontario at different seasons. Although you're very well versed, I'd love to see a collab with the channel One Wildcrafter. They are a couple that did a year alone with only wild food - not a comparison with your year in Wabakimi... worth a look for more wild edibles in Ontario for this series I hope! Again great series, looking forward to all the episodes... especially those from Ontario.
