Hey Group,
Sorry about the lapse in uploads, and I know that foraging vids aren't exactly crowd pleasers... Cataract surgery is set for Aug 9. Around mid June the cataract grew and became near incapacitating. If all goes well you'll see a great deal more happening on the channel in the coming weeks.
This video was shot shortly after the Wooded Beardsman was here in May. Expect a medical update video this week. I've some amazing new Patreons that are helping support the channel over this rough patch. Cross your fingers and...
Until Next Time.
its okay life happens at least you told us the reason why you've stopped uploading for a while
Bob Hansler i was gonna ask when there would be another update but you said when lol. I hope everything goes well for you and hope to hear some good news. Also whether your videos are crowd pleaser or not i enjoy everyone you put out despite everything going on in your life right now. Your doing a fantastic job. Anyway dont lose hope you got this.
I love foraging videos and this is one of the best I've seen, even from you. Very well done. Hope the surgery is successful and with no complications.
Best of wishes from my family and myself to yours! Love you Bob!
hey man get better...my dad has cataracts is both eyes he cant get anything done for close to a year from now
This man is a walking encyclopedia. 👌
That's what we call a metaphor
True
What's a encyclopedia
Meh and boring
It is devin The Minecraft player dude are you sick?
Well wishes friend. The survival community needs you back, so let's make this happen.
The Wooded Beardsman exactly 😁 hell ya!!!!
My two fav yters
I like ur bone marrow vid

Ohhhhhh those kinds of edibles
Stop
Javier Moreno 😭 I love this tO much
chu Harry weed
Those edibles is edible
Ain’t sh*t
If you haven't been to south Texas, you don't know the heat that Bob is enduring while making these videos.
112degF is a normal day where he is, and if you're not used to it, it's very difficult to endure. Thanks Bob!
Wayne Warmack same here in southeast asia, or maybe tropical island
majestic ARE the thing is the south United States sun is very harsh and dry. It’s not like being in a tropical setting, you have to find shade. The sun here is so harsh, I live in northeastern Texas around Dallas and it get colder in winter. But in the summer it gets about as hot down there. In the hottest part of summer it can get 110 Fahrenheit everyday and the record last year I think was 115.
Florida is way worse, trust me
El Guero eh, the this with Texas especially south East Texas is that it can be very humid in the summer, then it can be a drought for a couple of months. Florida is basically the same when it come to direct sun heat.
Wayne Warmack I live in Texas and love the heat bro
Those ground cherries are super expensive in Chinese supermarkets lol
Master Gecko 117 really? here in the Philippines most of us just ignore them lol! we just played with them
In Indonesia, they grow wildly on rice field
They like to put it on the chinese mango cakes lmao
Master Gecko 117 Well those in China taste really sweet and juicy different from the ones I had in other countries that’s why, may be slightly different hybrid. Also they are not super expensive, around 3(USD) per kg.
Master Gecko 117 last summer I remember cutting them down until I decided to eat one, and then I realized after a quick google search that I had been wasting food.
4:34 There's actually another benefit to wild grape. They produce a ton of leaves, which can be eaten raw, fried up like chips, or used as a wrap for baking things in.
I'm watching this wondering "why the hell am I still a part of society? nature's got way better looking food"
I've read that ground cherries are the original tomatoes.
yeah, this one looks like a physalis, there are some varieties(and that one) that grow much bigger then that and if you have them in your garden they grow every year like crazy
@@thefrugivoreanimal yes
I really like your calm Voice and Explanations, greetings from Germany bob
Another german fan here! :D
He does have an awesome voice and spirit, doesn't he?
...and like all good Germans, you capitalize your nouns! ( :^)
Most insects hate hate hate the smell of a burning bay leaf 🍃 keep them around. I use it for mosquitos in my tent. Flys around my food. And fleas on my pets. Just throw them in the fire 🔥. Bam they run jk the fly away. It’s also a calming effect if you have enough of it for humans. Some spas use it. Oh and you can use the bay left in the home too for ants, termites, bed bugs, and cockroaches. I also use it for bugs that eat my indoor plants. Carful though because some plants hate smoke.
FYI, when u burn bay leaves it smells like pot....
@@LaineyBug2020 good to know
@A Mage of Void who is also a ravenclaw other people doesn't do that?
Real Victoria please...tell us how to use against roaches!🙏
Thank you for your comment! I picked some off a farm about a month ago..will burn with White Sage.
His expression while eating that green grape was hilarious! I can't hardly believe all of the wild edibles available, if only you know what you are doing and what you are looking for. Amazing!
Man can I get you on my team if there’s ever a zombie apocalypse-
No he's mine
Nah ill think you'll be on HIS team if there's a zombie apocalypse
Lets make a group and make him the leader 😳
that look when you took a bite out of that unripe grape was priceless. thanks for the food forest tour.
This man is the KING of just eating flowers.
Texas! Now that's more like it!
Have you ever considered hosting seminar weeks or weekends on your property? I'd be thrilled to pay to take classes from you and just be able to camp out on your land. Just a thought for the future. Good luck on your next surgery.
Hell of an idea
People pay hundreds of dollars to taste exotic fruit imported by overnight shipment. If they have sense they would also be interested in guides that can take them on a tour of dozens of exotic fruits and veg that aren't obtainable at any market. I can see the market.
He has a lot of wild berries and stuff on his property were they on their when he bought it
I would love to
agreed
About wild onions: My stepson finds then fascinating, harvests them from vacant lots by the bucket full in spring here in a suburb. We live in League City Texas and they pop up like weeds. They go great with a steak. Just sautee them next to a ribeye, you'll never regret it.
I live in League city as well plenty of wild garlic, mullberry ,dew berry,and some kind of wild citrus the park off of 270 has plenty of these things
Be very careful harvesting these, though; because there is a very similar plant called Death Camass that deserves it's name. It has a small white star-shaped flower, which onions and garlics do not have. I mistakenly ate some Camass once and was very blessed that they quickly came right back up! My tummy (which is smarter than my brain) wisely and hastily rejected them. Oh, and by the way, I used to live near League City, in Pasadena TX.
Lived in League City almost 40 years, but never knew this. Used to run the open fields as a kid, but never had anyone to show us this stuff. Feel like I missed out. Now living in hill country/south Texas and finding these plants that are edible are a whole lot of fun, and teaching my little ones this kind of survival it great to pass along.
Kelly Dees I’ve seen a guy use the bulb for shampoo too. That would smell sooo badly. lol but clean hair is important too I guess.
We had alot of them in Sugar Land Tx. too
The red flower plant is Malvaviscus arboreus of the hibiscus family. It goes by many English names including Turk's cap, Turk's turban, wax mallow, ladies teardrop and Scotchman's purse. The fruit can be used to make jelly or syrup. Both the fruit and flowers are used to make herbal teas.
Thanks I was just about to ask if there were any other names for it
@@kiafrosty727 Thanks, I thought it was a hibiscus flower . Spent 2 hours on the internet looking for it, kept coming out hibiscus. It looked like the hibiscus that I ate as a kid ( use to suck the nectare out of the back end ). I was going to respond but you beat me to it. Thank you for clearing this up.
I was trying to remember Turks cap!!
What Bob is calling "forest rose" is also known as Turk's Cap Mallow. It is a true member of the mallow family, related to Hibiscus, Cotton, Althea, and a host of other flowering plants in that family. Bob is presenting some excellent information here, all true, and the berries are good eating - a little dry, but very sweet and good.
Only foraging video that I have neglected to mention Turks cap as an alt name. Losing my edge... ;)
I'm from Northern Mexico I live near the border with Texas (like an hour form the river) and I recognized almost all the plants but some were new for me (I mean knowing that you can eat them).
Great video, I don't see a lot of videos from these ecosystems and I find it kinda sad that people just think it's a barren land but in reality it's a pretty fascinating ecosystem with a lot of plants and animals.
Also, the mulberry is my favorite. There is one really old tree on a canal a few meters from my house and I enjoy eating those little fruits.
I grew up in Northern Mexico, my father had a big ranch and he taught us how to find most of this, including chile del monte (wild peppers) and some type of wild cucumber and melon....I miss those days 😢
Thank you so much for this video!
Your making great videos.
My family lived off texas persimmons, mustang grapes, prickly pear, deer, and turtle during a hard year. I wish I would have seen your video then to know about hackberrys and yucca!
I subscribed right after the wisdom of ‘plant the trees that I’ll never know the shade from’
Great channel
This very cool , I see a lot of survival food vids about wild edibles up north. But not many down south like Texas and Florida
Look up "survival dispatch" on youtube
They are based in Florida and the parta of southern Appalachia... a lot of info there including videos regarding foraging and just plain old bushcraft
I agree completely. Fascinating to this yankee boy.
I love the foraging videos. I grew up on a lil plot of land in manor texas.Me and my siblings would eat crawdads, cactus fruit, and ditch onions as after school snacks. Love your foraging videos good luck in surgery
In South Africa what you call a ground cherry is called a Cape Goosberry. Cool video thank you ☺️
here in jamaica there are also a lot of fruits that people do not know are edible ... great video I recognize a few fruits
Yes i miss the fruits. Especially rose apple
Kevin.... i found mullberry today which is why im here..would love to pick your brain
@@kreativeheart8598 I have a small tree that I want to plant,I love that thing too much to do without
@@KingstonMusicscene we have all those strawberries, blueberries all those grow wild in blue mountains
@@black10kevinis there a site to purchase seeds from?
11:15 man in South Mexico we eat the thing when they have no yet flowered. When the little seeds(I have no idea how to call the little seed pods things not even in Spanish)are young. We just roast them in the fire and oh man, they taste great. They are kinda sour but the flavor is good just like a roasted asparagus. Please give them a try you won’t regret it. We call the thing “palmitos” I think. Try to eat them when they’re young before they flower because they get bitter as they get old or grow. Please make a mention of it in a video, many people don’t know of this method, you’d be the first one to upload it.
xXAngelmlXx, which plant are you referring to?
@@notmyworld44 He's referring to the plant you see at 11:15, the "big spiky plant" yucca
Very interesting. I'd love to see a Gulf Coast/SE Texas foraging video
West Texas
13:38 in Vietnam we use it's young leaves to grow silkworm (which produce the silk use to make silk fabric). There are the whole farms of this tree.
You are the best teacher of survival skills ever! Easy to understand, interesting and above all else: humane. You have a gift for presenting the info without the usual display of ego. and with respect for all living things. Hugs
Being completely unaware of any foraging type plants these kinds of videos are very informative and awesome. Love this content.
Very interesting info. Thank you. I’m from Mission Tx and have seen all these trees and plants you showed but I had no idea they were eatable.
This is exactly what needs to be shown instead of the survival shows they put out. Awesome and very straight to the point without the made up drama. Keep up the great work.
Love the aspect of foraging. Living in west/central Texas don’t have quite the same amount of edible plant life varieties as you. We’ve got a lot of bull nettle though. The roots are a great source of carbs like a potato. Remember growing up as a kid. Used the nopales blossoms a bit differently. We’d take out the center of the flower bulb and stick a spine in it. From there we’d use a cut down pvc pipe as a blow gun.
Those Mustang Grapes are also called Muscadines. The green and bronze colored ones are called Scuppernongs. The flesh is tough and rubbery but the juice of the fully ripened fruit has a wonderfully unique sweet flavor. The domesticated Concord grape is a cultivar of these. Good show, Bob!
I don’t want to sound like the “Actually” guy but there is a difference between the two. Most of the times the two are indistinguishable but a difference is the Mustang grape is smaller, more sour, and in large quantities slightly toxic
@@21gaming500 Gaming, I really appreciate your informed reply. I'm not always 100% correct, but still always learning.
@@notmyworld44 you are very welcome sir and hope you keep your mind sharp, learning, and curious
Meanwhile
Me: Oooh a berry, Imma eat it
Berry: I'm a nightshade
Nightshade is edible. It’s the *deadly* nightshade that’ll get ya.
Worst joke I’ve seen
@@KYNG_DARK but it's not as worse as you do.
Pyrotechnic 17 ???
Pyrotechnic 17 it’s my opinion my guy
I really appreciate this video! I've been trying to have a more sustainable life and add local Texas plants to my diet. This was super helpful.
Now If I get hungry walking around I know I have snacks all around me
No need to apologize Bob. We're just glad to see you uploading! Good luck on Thursday. I'm sure you're in good hands.
I’m always interested in learning whatever I can about wild edibles here in TX. I’m still learning though I recognize and have tried many of these. Thanks for the great vid!
I had to say foraging in tropical forest to survive my hardship in my labor camps, it provides me more varieties but the downside was malaria I got for years and almost die from it. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Bob! Your video came through on a perfect day. Staying in bed today because I had a heart catheterization through my neck bright and early this morning. Not too keen on moving around yet! Praying your surgery is successful and your recovery is swift with no complications.
Awesome Video. Thanks Bob.. Those ground cherries you showed us I know as Gooseberries... Love them...
Gooseberries are actually a different fruit, but, in different parts of the country, the fruit of one plant may go by a different local name.
In the U.K. those, or something that is extremely similar are called Cape Gooseberry. Actual Gooseberries are somewhat different & grow on small sharply thorned bushes.
I uses to think they were a weed and i had a decent patch. Now i know
People seem to be mixing up ground cherries and gooseberries which is understandable since both are Physalis. The differences are that ground cherries are Physalis Pruinosa, a small shrub where the fruit ripens faster and falls to the ground hence the name ground cherries. Cape gooseberries are Physalis Peruviana, the plants and fruits are bigger and take longer to ripen, and dont tend to fall from the plant, they are most commonly grown in South Africa, hence the name Cape gooseberry. There are other varieties of Physalis too, like for example Physalis Philadelphica, which is the Tomatillo, commonly used in central america, its usually harvested unripe and cooked to add to salsas etc. I hope i could help a bit ;-)
Thanks, Bob, for taking me down through memory lane, I was born and raised down the valley. All those exotic trees with wild fruits and vegetables are delicious. You forgot the dates trees. Texas is a rich state full of wild edibles, I am so healthy growing up eating healthy. Thank 😊 you again for the trip down memory lane.
I
Dandelion and the roots of clovers are also edible. There's also some wild plants called "quelites" in Spanish. They're like weeds in grass and they're edible too.
Quelites can make them like spinach . Add little salt , pepper and butter. yum ! Helps with your digestion problems.
@@daddyo3d990 yes I've had them like that! So yummy
Great work Bob! We’ve missed you. Good to have another one of your instructional videos to watch.
Great to have you back
This is a really really great video, I'm on my 3rd watch. Trying to memorize all of these things. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. You are truly appreciated!
I live in Texas near the border of Mexico and texas, every time I go to my dads ranch I see things that look edible but don’t know if they are
thank you very much for this video!
Thanks Mr Hansler! This is an enjoyable and informative video! God bless!!!
Great video! I am praying for rain here in Texas and I'll pray for your surgery too.
Ken It's crazy how dry you guys are over there. We're having a wet year here in Bama.
Great of find someone with true Texas foraging knowledge .
Most of what you've shown grows in my neighborhood & I had no idea. Thanks so much!
13:38 I have a mulberry tree in my yard they are absolutely wonderful 😊
We have tons of mulberry trees in the woods behind our house. The females produce tons of fruit and are very sweet and tart. Our family often pick them when we hike in the woods in summer. The male mulberry trees are good for feeding silkworm.
We had two different kinds of mulberry trees and they produced for a long time might have been cause it was FL ...but me and my brother ruined a lot of shirts when we used them to gather the fruits I don’t remember my parents ever being mad about it though
BEST SYRUP I EVER MADE......boil mulberries on low 20 min...turn off fire, throw BUNCH garden mint in for 5 min only ..strain into sterile jars....WOOHOO!
@@jenagarcia1728 Heck yeah, im gonna do that once Mulberries start growing here again.
In spring mulberry is a beautiful tree
Sir , the way you describe is really awesome. Always good to see your videos.
as a west texas kid i’m super impressed with all this info! i’ve tried the mesquite beans and a few of the berries but the rest of this is new info for me. thanks for the video!!
Bob Hansler : Thanks for this excellent video on foraging for wild foods in South Texas ! Bob discusses the year to year conditions on several varieties of wild food , and what kind of harvest to expect including in drought conditions !!! Thanks ~ S.S.S./*Tom
You sound in great spirits Bob....Great vid bro...Peace
I live in south Texas like you all the things that you found I eat it last week in Texas party and the food was good and some couldn’t eat because it was not the season
Thanks, guys. Very useful. I hope your surgery went well, Bob. Speedy healing.
Great video Bob. Thanks for gathering and sharing
Hey bob! Glad you’re back!
I don’t live in Texas or even in the US but I loved the video. Thank you for sharing Bob.
I have rather fond memories of foraging in the woods as a kid when I was out all day. Texas is a bountiful place. Great vid.
Thx, for the bonus cordage footage.
I learned a lot from your video. You're really great explaining, great jobs keep it up.
Love watching your videos full of cool info thank you 😊💖
One other little fact about those wild grapes- the very young, tender leaves can be shredded and added to salads to give a tangy tartness and add vitamin c. I used to pick up 5-gallon buckets full of wild muscadines in the forest behind my house, but that is now, unfortunately, a subdivision full of mcmansions.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤️ job foraging! Your absolutely correct so much of our forest and food has been lost.
I hope your surgery goes well bob!
Now I feel like I wasted my time living in the woods of East Texas. We had most of this stuff growing all around us.
Just a few more months and I'll be back home.
I love foraging videos and yours are some of the best. Thank you for your efforts and the great information.
This has been my favorite informative video about wild Texas plant life for survival and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the world! Thank you!
incredible information - thanks!!! sending respect from dallas
excellent botanical knowledge . knowledge is power. fair thee well.
The info you are kind enough to share is rather amazing . I enjoyed watching the Canadian ( ay ) and you Bob in the wilderness challenge , I hope you continue to share the knowledge with other
God bless you
This video is amazing. Very concise and informative. Thanks for this, I really enjoyed the format.
Thank you for another educational video. Love ya!
Wow so much to take in. I wish I could find a book with color pictures and explanations like the way you talk. I live in AZ. I would buy one.
Thanks for this video, just like all your videos. Very cool. God Bless and another prayer for you and yours.
What town may I ask?😀
Broski you don't know how much your videos help when I'm hiking and camping every year. I got so good with identifying wild food in South Texas.
Great video! Great information and knowledge as usual. I appreciate your hard work and dedication at bringing us awesome videos!
Great philosophy to live by Bob, i've been managing for the future and the present on the land i live on in North Central Texas. Drought really been hitting us hard too, hoping for more rain and better health on your end as well as mine.
All the best,
Austin
I tried that ground cherry. They taste great. nice video man
Carefull with the ground cherries horse nettle is a poisonous look alike.
North Texas... Thank you so much for educating the public on survival.
Knowledge is survival, actually.
Thanks Bob. You are the best.
last time i was in Texas was 2006. it is gorgeous there. i regret moving to california, lol. but hopefully that will change next year
thank you for sharing this knowledge, it will help when i visit Texas again.
bam, i just subscribed
Amazing video and good luck with your surgery
Thank you for posting! I live in south Texas and appreciate the knowledge!!
You’re the most informative person I’ve found anywhere. Thank you for your knowledge
yay hes back finally
And I’m so glad I was following the bearded woodsman or I would’ve never known you two were together I’ve been watching you much longer than him and I am amazed by your knowledge I’m so glad I got to see that series you two put together thank you both Amazing and beautiful
Just now going over to watch the last episode feral hogs
This is really cool to watch !! I loved it! It’s amazing seeing how normal things become food!
Wanted to thank you for this video! Ive been getting more and more into foraging and I dont have my dad to help me out anymore so its awesome seeing this
I live in Texas too so im gonna Showa this to my Boy Scout troop. Thanks for the videos 👍
Good stuff. Might host some troops next spring if your group would like a go at it.
Woooooo! Bob back at it!
excellent! thank you and bless your family!! all of them. hope someone gets some knowledge like I did
Thank you Bob!
