This video is intended only as entertainment. Eating/consuming or otherwise any foodstuffs or materials of unknown edibility can lead to death. If you would like to learn more about what can and can't be eaten from wild sources, please consult with experienced people (in this case it would be (for me) the local Aboriginal community) and or authoritative texts on the subject specific to your location and/or academics.
Here I also show how a simple sturdy stick can be used for digging and hence preserve the blade of your knife. It's a bit of myth busting. Don't fall into the "armchair survivalist culture" advocating digging with "survival knives" . The fastest way to destroy what could be your only edged tool.

how to wreck a knife
I'm chopping over a dead fallen tree, it's not a rock bit if you are referring to chopping dead eucalyptus wood, them LOL, you'd be right as it's a hard as nails LOL. This custom Sleipner blade is extremely well hardened.
it just goes to show if you know what your looking for you'll not starve in the outdoors,and that's a good tip always use a stick for digging not your knife
on a different note I've purchased a new knife Ontario SP10 hunter Bowie absolute awesome knife really strong keeps its edge well one of the best knives I own , like to ask your opinion on it
Ok let me check it out, I'm a big fan of Ontario's stuff especially their no nonsense knives.
Oh yeah I know it, it rocks, a beefier version of the spec plus but with a metal guard. I'm sure you won't go wrong with this knife and should last for a long time.
Bush Camping Tools Will be much appreciated I think Ontario knives are possibly underestimated
Hi, you're not kidding. For some stupid reason I think most snob these production knives but are they such good value for money. I know, people don't like the "rubber handle thing", OK Kraton whatever, but hell, they are very strong, hold an edge and are not crazy prices. Mine has taken such a beating and I'd have no hesitation to say I can and could depend upon it (which I have so often). I even lent it to someone once (Which I never do-full stop).
My opinion is that it's wank and you're a wanker for asking for opinions on it. Lol
Entertainment? What's entertaining about a bloke eating ferns that may or may not be edible? Lol
LOL, maybe I should have included the outtakes of the severe gut cramps several hours after ingestion and the long lasting diarrhoea!
Seriously, only joking! Even if you weren't entertained, thanks for watching, and yes this stuff can be eaten. For me "entertainment" can also mean educational stuff and if that is the case then if one didn't know about such fern species and has now learnt something, then hey, that could be "entertainment" on that level.

I tried some of that Bungwall fern yesterday. I boiled it for ten minutes. It was quite nice but very fibrous. Now I know why the Aboriginals bashed it after cooking; it would make getting at the starch a lot easier. Next time I'll try roasting it. I think it will be sweeter that way.
Hi great to know your thoughts on this based upon your own experiences! I've tried various different palm hearts too and some are much better than others.
BTW where did you get them from?
A swamp beside the Elliott River, Bundaberg.
Right perfect to find that there! Haven't been up that way for ages!
Do you have the astrostichum fern growing up that way? it grows in salt water estuaries? I also did a short video on that one too, showing how to identify it.
