I found a place with yarrow, queen Ann's lace and poison Hemlock all within ten feet of each other! shows you gotta check every individual plant you harvest.
I like when you include the trees and tell there usefulness for cordage or fires
Wherever you see heavy turkey foraging, watch out for ticks. There's a chance that's what they were munching on. Yet another benefit to having a healthy turkey population on your property. Grouse will almost exclusively eat ticks, if there are enough.
Part two of a great series. Thanks.
Finding this channel has been great. We are pretty close in distance actually, Im right on the opposite side of your mountains a couple hours away lol
Combining this with plant id books for the north east, my knowledge has gained 10 fold in literally days. And for the most part our environments are identical so this is perfectly applicable.
The learning never stops thank you for these videos
Awesome property, such a variety of plant life, a BFR, and water too?? Beautiful! I look forward to the next video, whatever it is.
Lots of people might mistake poison hemlock leaves for 'finely cut'...yarrow leaves. Goldenrod or Solidago is one of my absolute favorite...used it in floral shops for fillers! Really! I am so very glad you always add disclaimers!!
Glad you brought up the hemlock when you saw the yarrow. We have water hemlock down here and the flowers look almost identical to the white yarrow and the carrot to a lesser degree. Very dangerous stuff
Beautiful land, friend! Thanks for the video full of knowledge! I found a large patch of Indian Pipe in the hunting land near my house (SSW PA), and very curious what it’s good for, I’ll look it up. Thanks again
Yeah I have it all over the place too(Eastern PA). Always thought it was cool but I never knew it was useful
LOVING the plant knowledge.
Hot damn!
This is really good stuff.
Keep it coming brother
awesome stuff hope to see much more videos like this. can't wait for part 3
Love your plant walks! Very valuable info for sure. Keep them coming!
RLTW!
Thank you for sharing another great walk through the woods. Cheers!
Thank you for the interesting series. You are close enough to share a lot of fauna that is found around me.
Always remember when in the woods, take time to stop and taste the sumac. Great video of a gorgeous property. Nice find, oh great bearded one.
That White Admiral butterfly was on a boneset plant. Highly useful medicinal. Use cold ,warm or hot tea depending on your ailment.
That area reminds me so much of mid-Michigan, where I grew up. Sumac, goldenrod, and it looked like you had some Wintergreen popping up
I thought it was wintergreen also but it was actually Partridge Berry (squawberry)
That was boneset that your butterfly was on. Great video. Thanks.
These are some really good plant videos. Great job!
Joshua, another amazing video! I was in awe of your knowledge of the different species of plant and trees!
Looks like you got a nice place
Good job on the information.
Another Great informational moving picture. Thanks brother.
Great info Josh. Thanks.
Awesome! How do you remember all that? I can’t even remember what I go in the kitchen to get by the time I get there😂
I just spend a lot of time out there and really focus on continuing to learn as much as possible every time
Another good one, sir! Please, keep them coming ☺️ATB🙏🏻🍀
This is the stuff! Thanks for getting me through work tonight...lol
Cool walk
Informative video..your white pine is sure different than the kind we have in Northern Ont. I notice we also have quite a few of the same plants as dwn there ( alot that dave c has videos of..) i haven't noticed any "labrador tea"plants in the videos that you fellows put up.( thought it might grow there too.? )..but we do have lots of plantain and mullen etc. When i saw your pipe flower plant thing there it made me think of a lady slipper plant that grows surprisingly quite abundantly here i have no need to touch or harvest it but a very odd and delicate out of place flower considering its the boreal forest, surprising what you can find when you take the time..thanks..
Josh, you have a nice property to work with, have you ever harvested ramps ? Kind of like a onion/ garlic plant , also sumac tea is pretty good, looks like Pink lemonade . Pokeweed shoots are good too in the spring as well as wild aspearegus , I live about 3 miles from Pennsylvania in NE Ohio near lake Erie and the woods are kind of similar to yours , good luck to you and your family !
I haven’t gotten into any ramps on any of the places I have settled into really
Sadly, I never found Ramps in PA yet, it’s always been in MD or WV
@@rotgut14 my ramp honey hole is around the pymatuning lake area on the Ohio side , very abundant ! .I travel by boat to get to them.
Man, that BFR is a great feature. Those Damnedelions will grow anywhere. Is all this on your personal property? If so, very nice!
Sometimes, you just gotta stop and lick a bush. 😒😉🤣
Yes this was all a walk around the property line
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I took note of the comment that "grumpy grunt" made and how you deftly answered without adding to the silly part...then I thought, it'd be a good idea to publicly point that out ~;D
Awesome video sir ,I really like these kind.
Had to do this..........
#1
Great stuff Josh!!! Thank you for the knowledge!!! Enjoy your new property!!!
Thank you for another great video.
Outstanding
I could be mistaken, but I believe that yarrow isn't in the carrot family (Apiaceae). I think it's in the aster family (Asteraceae). Either way, visually it looks more similar to the plants in the carrot family.
I think you are correct. Carrot-like leaves without question an attribute but they are in different families
Amazing.
To be continued... great.
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Very nice. Was that a spring head at the very end?
It is, yes. Really happy about having that also
Good deal. On so many different levels and for so many different reasons, that is awesome.
Nice vid I'd love to see your name on a multi survival medicinal plant combo book
One day maybe. Still haven’t written a book yet. Winter project
Seeing the poisen ivy stresses me out, just got a bad case of it haha
Another excellent video, thanks Josh. Have you come across any eastern diamondbacks on that piece of land?
I wouldn’t expect any Diamondbacks this far north. We have Timbers but I haven’t seen them in the wild up here to this day. Massasauga are here but only in a couple of small isolated spots that I’m not in. I have seen zero venomous snakes in NY to date
My bad,,,I knew there were rattlesnakes in the Adirondacks...should have thought timber. Its funny, just a few miles away here in Quebec no venomous snakes at all but east of us in parts of Ontario they have Massassaquas . That big rocky overhang/cave looked snakey
Great video. Wish you were a neighbor. We could walk and talk. Always learning.
OMG I thought you were joking about the sumac-ade, until you licked it xD man thats wild. Again, love your videos as always.
Have you run into timber rattlers or do you have them that far north?
Nice place you have.
There are Timbers up here and Massasauga rattlers in a couple of very isolated spots but I have yet to see a wild venomous snake in NY
18D Josh? You’re knowledge is on point brother. RLTW.
Matt
18B with a lot of cross-training and civilian med experience. Appreciate it brother
The Gray Bearded Green Beret thanks man. You be safe brother.
Turkey now thats a resource
Hey, I think there was a Harry Stem in my Engr Supt Bn. Even in possible emergency situations, a disclaimer has to be made in this litigious society, to tell people, "Hey, don't eat that, just because I said you could." Thanks for woods walk, J. Semper Fi.
Was that boneset the butterfly landed on?
It was, yes
Solid video. Great content for the community. I hope this walk and talk video style continues. So valuable
Can you recommend a resource for southeast Louisiana? Thanks
Resources are linked in the description, there are some that cover your area
I'm hoping for a Gray Beard and Red Braid lines of merch. Like Gray Beard recomended smaller complete kits. Fire, Water, Nav, Trauma, Etc. Christmas is coming.
The cavity you found in the rocks is what we call a man cave where i grew up in Arkinsaw.😅
I came across you yesterday when your light survival bag caught my eye. I was searching for edible plants tonight, and found you again. I enjoy your videos, you present them good. If you Southern Tier hunt or grab a 7M or 7J off of the lottery, check out Nelson Swamp. You'll find Poison Sumac there. Thanks again for this series, helped me identify the plants that I see in my blind, and then some.
Boy, I’m tellin’ you... sometimes you gotta just stop and taste the sumach...
I've never been in that part of the state's yet and we don't have the foliage, water nor trees like you do in the panhandle of Texas. Survival would be easier there than it is here, you don't know how lucky you are to have all the resources you have. What about rattlers, copperheads, corral snakes there are there many? I have never heard many people talk about them.
Well, we have resources like this because we have the rain and snow that facilitate it. 4-5 months out of the year the resources are snow and ice, so a few months per year it would be easier. Every place has its benefits and problems I suppose.There are so few poisonous snakes here that I have yet to see one in the wild. Ever.
Once again Josh, a brilliant learning resource!
I am however getting more than a little jealous of you and your new patch of heaven.
Do you, our any of the community know of any written resources containing similar information for east coast Australia? Printed resources so I can access them if the power/internet fritzes out
I am not savvy on resources for Australia, apologies. I’m sure they have been written but I have never been so have never looked
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret thanks anyway mate, never hurts to ask a question I suppose 👍
"Too far into the weeds..." I see what you did there.
Puns are my favorite, I’m a nerd like that
i bet, if you dig up the gravel in that ready maid shelter ,, you may find some interesting things
You’re probably right
🌲 👍 🌲
I didn't know squirrels are carnivorous
Never have found poison sumac??? Thats an insane stat. Well, if you're ever down in fort polk for some weird reason ever, theres a metric fuck ton down there xD yes I was stationed there at one point with 4th/3rd brigade 10th mountain. Awful place, -3/10. I have seen some various sumacs here in oklahoma where I live, but its mostly in the eastern part of the state from what Ive seen.
Any leaf a goat eats, it is edible. Any fruit a bird eats, it is edible.
Both false. Goats will eat poison ivy like it’s their job and I can think of two dozen berries a bird can eat that are toxic to humans.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret ohh..good to know.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I remember my friend who told me that. He actually ate an unknown fruit in the jungle because birds eat it. I tried to dissuade him but he still tasted them. Well, he didn't die but what if...
David Quinn Ingan that is taking a very big chance, for sure!
The only way to learn what GBGB knows is to go to school! Otherwise, do not eat a single thing in the wilderness unless you are able to recite the scientific name and even then! one has to be careful. One can live for a month without food. One can only live 3 days at the most without water!
GBGB, we need to talk about apical tips!! Indians were able to out run the stupid calvary who had to do a circle and eat beans and franks? poo, pee, fart, and sleep.
All the while the Indians jogged through the forest nipping off apical buds. Apical buds on all plants is where the most energy in a plant resides. As long as one doesn't chow on poisonous apical or TERMINAL buds, this stuff is very valuable for calories. A simple palm full or tbsp has the calories of a humongous salad.
