Great cinematography. Gorgeous drone shots. Very well done. Captivating footage. 👏👏
Thank you! Planning to do a lot more drone footage this coming season. :)
Still locked down under snow here, another awesome video.
Wow, great video from start to finish!
Man, this is the life!
Thanks for another great video. Amazing to see that despite of the hard work you can treat yourself with such tasty looking food. I'm looking forward for the next Friday 👍
We needed a day to recharge before the fire morel flush hit. Glad you enjoyed watching, that lake had some good fishing!
Great video, enjoyed watching you cook, fish and show us your beautiful backyard for now. Awesome morels too!!!
Thanks Debbie
Another great video guys, stoked for the next video.
Great insight to what you do. I'm blown away every time. Whoever owns the ugly stick fishing pole...is the smartest one among. yall.
That pole has travelled with us to some far out places! Great little rod
I was wondering when y'all was going to do that that's going to be some good eating you're all Lucky that would be good for the guys a very good reward with the rainbow trout oh yeah
Damned impressive bunch of dudes, living the Canadian dream. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
happy to share! cheers 🏕🌲
Awesome find I'm a forager from Maine and only found few small patches awsome
Fingers crossed you find some good spots this year!
still watching 😊👍❤️
Just the tip!
The meals I watch you make!! Randy,had I known you could cook like that when we was kids.....well, anyway, buddy, you can cook for me anytime 😊 😁
that's a dream job! yall are lucky!
Trout cheeks are a delicacy.

Hi, I really appreciate the content you are putting out here :). If I may ask, why did you decide to use the combination of fan + generator to dry your mushrooms? Wouldn't it be more economical to dry in an enclosed trailer of some sort using the available ressource that is wood to feed a wood stove? I'm very curious about that choice! Thanks again for the great content!
Thanks for the comment Raphael. Airflow is the most important aspect to drying at first. Adding heat to fresh/wet morels too early will cook them instead of dehydrating. The goal is to reach between 70-80% dry with cool to warm air before adding higher heat. The higher airflow will help seal the mushrooms and help prevent the morels from sporing onto each other. Then they are moved to the woodstove to flash which finishes them off.
We are using the woodstove room for two purposes. When we’re not flashing we use the woodstove room to dry out the air being pulled through the dryer, the warmed air allows us to pull more moisture out of the mushrooms. this helps a lot when it is foggy and humid out. Our fan is powerful enough to cool down that same air so that it doesn’t add too much heat, while still drying the air without cooking the mushrooms. Then when they are ready we flash them on the rack above the stove which finishes the drying and kills any insect related contamination if there is any.
Hope this answers your question, we plan to do a video in the future to go into depth on this topic. We have made multiple trailer dryers before and they work well as the chassis for a dryer but the same principles should still be applied.
@@northernwildharvest thank you very much, it does answer my question very well. I had previously been told that air dry could be used for around 2 hours prior to drying at low heat (maybe heat equivalent to what the sun provides on a hot day), which would prevent too much spore circulation in the early stage of drying yes, but also so the mushroom doesn't shrink as much after the drying process is done (as opposed to just a prolonged exposure to around 30 degrees celcius through the whole process without air drying at first). Maybe it's hard with a wood stove to get this very low and controlled heat for a prolonged period of time... Any final thoughts on this? And what would be the approximate temperature for final flashing? I'm sorry for having such long questions. These are the last ones I promise :)
@@raphaellafontaine2410 the timing all depends on the stage and how wet the mushrooms are. If it’s hot and dry out and the morels haven’t been rained on or they aren’t late growth stages then sometimes 2 hours is enough, other times it’s not. The little dryer were using in this video has a really high airflow to speed things up and prevent as much loss of biomass as possible. We do slowly add heat as they dry by controlling the woodstove but it’s all about finding the balance - too much heat too early will increase sporing. The sooner you stop the spore from being able to escape the mushroom the more they will keep their shape and retain their biomass which results in a better fresh to dry ratio. Approx temp for flashing is between 135f and 175f.
The generator we’re using is very fuel efficient and the fans we use don’t have too much power draw considering their airflow/CFM. Small electric heaters have a really high power draw per btu (heat.) So the woodstove is still a great addition to the drying setup. With a small setup for the five of us, It would be far to expensive to rent a generator large enough to run a heater that could match the btu of the woodstove. Plus, like you said, the wood fuel is readily available!
@@raphaellafontaine2410 we will go into some of the other details in a video dedicated to drying morels ! :) we have tried many methods over the years, it’s something we enjoy doing.
@@northernwildharvest fascinating, I will definitely be there when this video comes out!
I say it again way2go you're all Lucky
We’re grateful to be able to fish and forage in places like these!
Sounds like you need to go unload and come back and hit that spot again there's a lot there
You're right! We did go back to that spot for more in a coming video :)
what provinces do you pick in?
Mostly BC, western Alberta, Yukon and NWT but we’ve worked burns in Sask and Ontario as well.
Dudes were trying to get you guys out of camp to steal your morel haul/stuff.
How did you guys meet each other?
We explain a bit in the first video on our channel here. The rest of the guys are friends of mine that joined me about 10 years ago and really love the whole experience of living in the wilderness and working hard. Most of us are nature enthusiasts so everyone involved values the opportunities that wild harvesting provides.
@@northernwildharvest That's so cool. Glad you guys found one another and enjoy each other's company! When it's not morel season, where do you guys go? Or are you guys mainly on the mushroom trail and going species after species? Morels, Rex Veris, Lobster, King Boletes, Matsutake, the winter trio, and then repeat?
@@mmmmmray We travel all over Canada when harvesting, majority mushrooms but we also harvest many different plants or non-timber forest resources but morels are usually the biggest harvest of the year. We try to only harvest things that are sustainable, and travel a lot to make sure we are in areas where the things we're harvesting are abundant. When not wild harvesting most of work in the trades, myself usually doing horticulture work. Grateful to have a good team to do this work with. Hope you have a great season this year Murray!
@@northernwildharvest Thank you! I've been mainly foraging for pacific gaper clams while I wait for the Morel season to start here in California. Wishing you all the best of luck and safe travels!
Can I buy dry mushroom off you guys ? 😢
Yep we held onto some dried morels incase anyone here on youtube wanted some. Send us a message at northernwildharvest@gmail.com if you’re interested
Stop catching so many fish! Lol
Trout is like the fruit of the lake! You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, trout-kabobs, trout creole, trout gumbo…
