- If you got lost or hurt out in the bush could you survive on wild foods and medicine? In this video we take a deeper look at wild foods and their potential Nutrional values, as well as some plant medicines which could save you from things like infection.
This is a great book on Medicinal plants amzn.to/3nan43C
Serious question, have you thought about writing a book? Would be super handy while out in the bush to know what to look out for, and what I can/can't eat
Would like to make a complete survival food field guide at some stage, still have a bit more research to do first though, thanks for watching 😊
Was about to say the same thing.
And some classes or workshops?
Maori been doing that for over a thousand years lol, and still.
@@KeepingItWildthat would be brilliant ❤
as an old timer in Te wai Pounamu, i cant hear the cicadas any more in the bush, or the grey warbler, but i have millions of cicadas in my ears 24/7. I stay sane by remembering summer in the bush, just close the eyes and im there. my fav bush berry, if you can beat the Keru, is the fuchsia berry. And a week in the bush at Punakaiki once I made jam out of wineberries.
thanks the video, but no bare feet for me!
You are an impressive down to earth kiwi, may you influence and leave your legacy in many young men.
And women 🤙
@@gibo1363 Yep, we're out there in the bush too!
I agree we need to get the men and the boys back in their element so they can show up As the whole powerful beings they are.
And when it comes to the soul... All creatures came from nature and it is our natural environment for man and woman. The Earth and nature is out true home. it brings out the light of the soul.
Dude, where have you been, if you can please, post more often. While I cannot speak for all the other viewers, I can well imagine, that we all want to know how you and your family are doing. Absolutely love your content what ever your Vlog is about. BEST WISHES to you all.
Thanks so much, really interesting, learned a lot, cheers
I agree lol!
My grandparents and mum and dad use to teach us about a lot of what you spoke of in the vid as we were growing up in the king county being maori they taught us about the rongoa (medicine) plants to use and what they were for now staying in Oz it brought back memories of my childhood appreciate the content blessing brother
Plantain is excellent for bites and stings. It takes the pain out of bee stings really quickly.
We’re surrounded by bush here and I’m excited to see plants you’ve identified that I see everyday!
This is awesome!
Love your content. All the years I've spent hunting and didn't really know any of these plants to eat
I'm an argentinian living in New Zealand for the last 9 years. I enjoy going to the bush for survival experience (In Northland is quite easy). I believe you are one of the best wild life teachers on you tube. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
hi Pablo where about in northland do you go bush? thanks
@@KingsCrossVIP sorry for the late answer. I live near Helena bay. Here you can go to Russell forest. For bow hunting, in the same farm I leave we have some big areas of native bush where you can find wild pigs turkeys, rabbits...
There is a difference between showing what works for the personal objective of a hunter, and being an expert on most of the topics that can be shown. Being able to hunt productively does not make an expert, & a few of the opinions presented are flawed. This is not unusual, the majority of hunting videos share that, & TV hunting ones excel (should be comedies at times).
Really loving the local knowledge! Thank you! There’s a need for our younger generation to be taught bushcraft and basic survival skills.. important right up there with reading and writing.
Absolutely love this!! Really appreciate you taking the time to make this guide 🙌
Great vid, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It is worth noting that the brix test does not indicate starch levels, only sugar levels. Something like a palm heart, or palm frond, would be likely to contain a lot of starch which will break down into sugar when you cook it, or even when it enters your mouth and comes into contact with the amylase enxymes in your saliva.
Brix actually indicate not only sugars, also water soluble substances.
Well not actually that correct
It is worth noting that kawakawa has a laxative effect. It can give you an 'upset tummy' if you eat too many berries or leaves.
people make in into a paste to apply to itches or burns aswell you dont always have to consume it yk
@@blckcadilac4413 Yeah that's another good point. Makes a great salve, and is even decent as an everyday balm for skincare - or so I hear.
Some fern products that have been tested are also carcinogenic. Not a problem probably for brief survival situation, but it was suggested as a contributor to the brief life expectance of pre-European NZers
@@BruceNJeffAreMyFliesNah it's not a laxative, like herbal tea is and shouldn't be drunk too much or too often.
A good rule of thumb is, to drink no more than like a little whiskey shot glass full per day. (As I've been told by a rongoa māori (māori medicine) practioner who makes a lot of different varieties from different māori plant species.
And yes it can be made in to salves and balms as well for the likes of rashes, burns, eczema, cuts and chaffing etc..
Just love your knowledge of the bush & its foods, thanks for another fantastic video.

Thank u bro this is the best video i seen about our bush food and medicine.
Thanks mate for the info. Take it easy.
Well, ive been watching a bit of les strouds videos at the moment ... and he always suggests to learn from your local expert when it comes to harvesting and foraging for wild edibles. So cheers bro, guess i came to the right place, cuz im learning. Fantastic videos bro. Keep em coming!!! 🙂👌👍👏
Thanks f sharing. May save someone frm all sorts of drama. Good work.
Brilliant mate, loved it. If you write a book about edibles I'd drive into town to get it and there's very little I'd ever go there for. Big thanks and best wishes.
finally useful video on the topic if you live in new Zealand, most sites dont have much info on the topic, or cover a wide range of plants that arnt even in new Zealand.
Loved the video. Useful video for when your in the bush. Stay on the grind and you'll get to 100000 subcribers.
Mate, just found this channel and am a fellow kiwi forager but from up north. Cheers for your mahi brother looking forward to more

Kia ora Bro! Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Awesome ❤
Thank you.
As always excellent stuff! I’m currently in New Zealand and am gonna keep my eye out
Yep don’t just eat stuff willy nilly cos you seen it in a YT vid. Only eat anything if you have a professional guide with you. Some very poisonous stuff out there.
Mean channel, subbed, not my kinda thing but now im quite hooked, awesome vids bro, chur
Shot bro love that you spoke about kawakawa first definately my preferred rongoa for most things
Immigrated to NZ around 5 years ago, most of these plants I've seen the birds eat but not humans! Had to chop down a very old nikau though and took the chance to make a pork rib soup with the core, was the best broth I ever had.
Will definitely try out the Kawakawa fruit though, used the leaf to help a friend's centipede bite a few years ago, really got used to the smell as plenty of the bush grow wild in the garden :)
wicked video mate. subscribed hoping to learn more from you.
Nice video. Keep it up. The brix device is pretty cool 😎
Excellent mate! Makes me want to get back to the King Country :)
Great video, want to see more and learn so much more
Wow first time ive seen this.....awesome and learnt heaps
Excited for the next one!
Thanks very much for this information we love u from Ghana
wow, thanks for sharing, a book would be a great idea.
Awesome content people oughta know ! Have subscribed my Bro ❤
This is the best video on bush foraging in NZ I've ever seen. Thanks heaps!
Seeing it in action is great (instead of books or photos), and your commentary excellent and informative. Chur bro. Please make more.
Cracking Vid mate keep them coming
Awesome video bra luv the bricks test very interesting
Excellent video bro. Informative and down to earth. That new hand axe looks awesome. I'm amazed at some of the hand tools for bushcraft and nature survival there are available today.
Thanks for the video and helping to preserve our countries natural food resource environment.🌎☀️🌧️
That is a rather mediocre copy of an old design
Kia ora I recently found your videos, and I have enjoyed each one. Your knowledge of the bush & bush medicine, rongoa is awesum. Your amazing at so young an age at starting your life experience at 16 years fresh out of school, your incredibly intelligent, well educated & well lived. Thank you so much.
Mean content bro, thanks for the video
Excellent video, great information 🤝
Awesome video mate.
Thank you hun much love
💛💛💛💛
Great video, very informative thanks! I was always told as a kid the Karamu berries were poisonous to eat but after watching this & doing a little research I now know I can eat them haha cheers
awesome info mate. cheers 👍
Very informative video Shay.Always learning. I like the Tawa berries and kawakawa berries but don't think to much of those caprosma berries. Lol.Cheers
your video production is getting really good
Always a big fan.. thanks Bro
UA-cam is testing your content as recommended in more people's feeds at the moment, long may your channel grow mate!
"The designs that are in this plant are out the gate" - Instant sub 🤣🤣🤣😂
This was interesting! I know most of those plants, but didn't know any of them were edible
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I wish you did survival treks for the unexperienced because I'd be first to sign up. And like other people I'd buy your books too
Awesome video mate
Awesome content love yah mahi kahi 😎
This is information that is valuable. Local knowledge of edible fauna & other plant matter is more important than what 69x420 is. This is what schools need.
Awesome video!! i learnt Alot. cheers bro
