I’d have to agree, I wait for a moment when I’m feeling down and go “you know what will make you feel better, watching anything less stroud” I’ve literally watched everything from him since the first episode on discovery when I was still a little kid. He’s a huge part of why I love feeling connected to the earth and my local foraged goods I’ve came across over the years living in nor cal. Thank you les. And ermon1 keep your head up.
“The man, who goes afoot, prepared to camp anywhere and in any weather, is the most independent fellow on earth.” ~. Horace Kephart, 1904 Thank you for all years, Les.
Joy was just the perfect fit for this episode! Great culinary skills, great personality, and great chemistry with you two! I'd love to see more Wild Harvest and more Joy. tbh. Good idea getting a local chef to come in. I love seeing another expert enjoying their craft, and coming up with ideas/uses that Paul may not have. Stellar all around, team. Well done!
Just wanted to say Les, I love the music in this series! Also thank you for sharing this series with us all for free, you and Paul make great co-hosts, I hope you feed the cameraman too, he's doing a great job, I hope he doesn't have to go hungry! 😅
It was wonderful to see you invite a local chef to experience as well. So much fun this episode. Dang, I could almost taste it! I love this series so much!
When you first advertised Wild Harvest a year ago or whenever it was, I knew it would be right up my alley and I was correct. Great addition to your television career!
I can honestly say this is one of the most inspiring series I’ve ever had the privilege to enjoy. It doesn’t feel like a cooking show or a survival show. There’s just so much to take in from it. Absolutely love it.
As a cook i absolutely love this series. Unique, inspiring, interesting, educational, and entertaining. So cool to see such informative ecological product put out FOR FREE! Thanks Les and Chef Paul😊
Ive had surgery a month ago and again 4 days ago. Thanks for uploading these so I can stave off boredom and learn something while I recover. Loved watching Survivorman when I was younger. Still just as great now.
How you pick berries, forage acorns and somehow bring me to tears at the end is remarkable. Don't forget to put this series out on DVD and or Bluray. Perfect addition to my 20 year video book. Thanks again from Detroit for making this easily available.
Les, I'm starting to look forward to this series as much as I did Surviverman back in the day! Almost. Outstanding my friend, so cool that you're doing part of this in Oregon. Thanks for sharing 🤠
Madrona (in WA, Madrone in CA?) is my favorite tree and feels like the spirit of the PNW, yet I never knew any of its edible uses. So cool! Truly an amazing idea for a show, I love each episode. Thanks for posting these
This is easily my favourite cooking show, every episode has been truly inspirational. Once again food looked amazing, much thanks to everyone on show. Cant wait to get out and start foraging around my home in Tasmania. THANKS :)
I think this is so far my favorite episode of Wild Harvest. I've enjoyed every episode so far. But this one just felt personal being that I am from Washington State and have lived in Oregon not far from Grant's Pass. This brought me back home and I'm familiar with all of the ingredients used. Thank you Les for a wonderful wonderful episode!!
This show has me hooked. During my younger days as a kid our family still used the food from the wild. In Oklahoma we still have lots of food out there all you have to do is get it. Some take lots of processing. But some don't. My favorite is Wild sand plum jelly. I believe Oklahoma has up to 4-5 varieties of them . Very worth the time making it
Thank you for continuing to share the Wild Harvest videos with us. Try as I may, I cannot get them locally from our provider. Looking forward to more great content and for your podcasts to resume!
Please make a season 2 - this is one of the best shows out there! And thanks so much for putting it up on youtube. LMK if there's any way we can support!
Another fine episode incorporating ingredients that I would never think of using...the amount of knowledge shared in this series is truly amazing,keep them coming!
Hi to all and your great team Les..Great combination of chefs minds coming together to inspire us in their learning of which plant fruits you bring to them..Very creative in what you all produce, create in this beautiful show ..Can we have the recipe, we also need a book series of information you give us..Is this too much work ? Great on learning, education..Lovely touches, orange candle light, teas, processing acorn to flour..Can I ask Les why don't you normally like the process of processing plants/fruits, Keep up the great work everyone is doing including people in the background..Thank you again for an up lighting show.I live with oak around me 📿📚💜
I like this series because it really shows the passion that you have Les it's truly uplifting and I really do appreciate this because it's a nice break from all the bad stuff we have in the world
Acorns have been on my list for a few years now. I was so happy to see that you cold leached the acorns preserving the starches and fats of the acorn. Oh, you can save some of the tannin water for use as a disinfectant. It has strong wound disinfectant properties. It can also be used to tan hides.
Really happy to see Les back. The OG of survival television. And personally, the only one I trust. I know he's not staying at a Motel 6 when the cameras go out when he's filming a show.
This has to be around Cave Junction. I lived there for a year, and a half, and it looks so much like this location. It's beyond gorgeous, and I love the smells of the surrounding forests.
I would like to see what you could do in different climates. I live in Phoenix . That would be interesting to see what you could do with plants in a desert. I imagine not much? 🤷♂️ none the less . This series is very interesting . Maybe it will give some chefs ideas to start a completely localized restaurant. I like this concept Les , well done 👏.
I have a great walnut tree in my backyard here in Australia. I was getting good harvests from it but now the local sulphur crested cockatoos are aware of it and there's rarely any left anymore.
Thanks Les, never knew you could eat madrone berries! The species of black oak here in Oregon is actually Quercus kelloggii, California black oak, not Quercus velutina. Love all your stuff, keep em coming!
Fun Fact: The more bitter acorns like black and red oak usually contain more fat than less bitter white oak. And we know how important fat is in the wilderness! I collected tons and tons of acorns last year it is a true staple. (I also sowed like 50 acorns at home in pots to plant out later as payment for their gifts)
Say Hey! Is there going to be a cookbook/foraging/prep guide at some point? If this is a repeat question I apologize. Most wild eatables books have some pretty bland recipes. Boil the greens in three changes of water kind of thing. Great work. Thank you both very much.
A lot of cities in California have planted the European variety if madrone aka strawberry tree, which have even larger fruits. Great for jam, baked goods, and making a type of Portuguese brandy.
Catching up on this series again. I think it is fabulous and very informative. Question though, would you not leach the tannins before grinding? Does leaching after ground remove additional tannins as opposed to the whole nut? Love your work. I am over on the East Coast of the Continent and you have certainly peaked my interests into finding what might be available to me in this area.
Beautiful episode! I love to see what you guys can create with these. Also, would you be releasing the soundtrack at all? I would listen to that all the time.
Patrick Wyman in his Tides of History podcast talked about how the Jomon of Japan and other Neolithic peoples relied on harvested acorns as a bridge to agriculture.
I so love this series. This has to be one of the most unique and interesting “cooking shows” ever aired. I hope you keep these coming!
I agree. It's actually my favorite show he's ever made. I look forward to each new episode.
@@wchayes8646 Favorite show? But....but...Survivorman? Angry face angry face this can be #2 but #1? Fat f.... :(
When I'm feeling psychologically low I watch one of these Wild Harvest videos and I feel a lot better after.
I’d have to agree, I wait for a moment when I’m feeling down and go “you know what will make you feel better, watching anything less stroud” I’ve literally watched everything from him since the first episode on discovery when I was still a little kid.

Sorry to hear Eremon1. Would you like to try a philosophy faith to help you come out of your low times ?
Because this is the life we were suppose to live not coup up in the city striving to make a piece of paper to buy food.
I'm right there with ya. Not sure exactly what it is about this new content but there's something about it that makes me so emotional.
Same! This always cheers me up and soothes my soul.
Might be the best episode yet
“The man, who goes afoot, prepared to camp anywhere and in any weather, is the most independent fellow on earth.” ~. Horace Kephart, 1904
Thank you for all years, Les.
Few understand true freedom isn't just free from others but being self able
Joy was just the perfect fit for this episode! Great culinary skills, great personality, and great chemistry with you two! I'd love to see more Wild Harvest and more Joy. tbh. Good idea getting a local chef to come in. I love seeing another expert enjoying their craft, and coming up with ideas/uses that Paul may not have. Stellar all around, team. Well done!
Little hummingbird didn't want to be outshined by what looked like a lovely meal. 😄 loving this series, thanks for everyone's hard work.
I can't stop watching this new flavor of Les.
Top Tier television right here
Just wanted to say Les, I love the music in this series! Also thank you for sharing this series with us all for free, you and Paul make great co-hosts, I hope you feed the cameraman too, he's doing a great job, I hope he doesn't have to go hungry! 😅
As someone from Oregon, I appreciate these videos.
It was wonderful to see you invite a local chef to experience as well. So much fun this episode. Dang, I could almost taste it! I love this series so much!
This was fantastic as always. Thank you all.
When you first advertised Wild Harvest a year ago or whenever it was, I knew it would be right up my alley and I was correct. Great addition to your television career!
Dog is having the best day ever! 😁 loads of oaks here and the local tribe used them extensively.
I can honestly say this is one of the most inspiring series I’ve ever had the privilege to enjoy.
It doesn’t feel like a cooking show or a survival show. There’s just so much to take in from it. Absolutely love it.
OBSESSED with this series. Keep em coming, Les!

Ikr? I never knew the berries were edible, or that you could make tea from the bark! Those trees are all over Seattle.
This is easily my favourite cooking show, every episode has been truly inspirational. Once again food looked amazing, much thanks to everyone on show. Cant wait to get out and start foraging around my home in Tasmania. THANKS :)

This series really gives the inspiration to learn more about wild edibles

Thabks so much for posting these and continuing expanding my knowledge of nature.
Wow! Thanks! I’m glad I found this channel.
Les Stroud is also a fan of Letterkenny and that's what I appreciates about him...
Pitter patter…
I know right!
Is that what you appreciates about him janglez?
How are ya now?
The ending to this one brought a tear to my eye
Excellent series.. NetworkTV is missing out on this wholesome family show..
This is awesome man! I grew up in Rogue River in Southern Oregon. Truly beautiful place
Love this entire series 💖😊
Les, I have to say I’m wife and I absolutely love this show! Can’t wait for the next one.
Another fine episode incorporating ingredients that I would never think of using...the amount of knowledge shared in this series is truly amazing,keep them coming!
I absolutely love this show. It's my favorite show Les has made.
Excellent video!! Another home run, les!! 👍🏻
Living in Oregon myself, I'd love for nothing more than to spend a day listening to Les's stories over coffee.
right bro Oregon seems so fcking peaceful!! hippie nation lol
@@angelonino2841 it ain't hippy really. Beside Portland / Ashland / Eugene. The rest of Oregon is very pro second amendment.
I love Grants Pass and the Rogue River!
My favorite part of my Friday’s💯💯💯Thanks again Les and Paul💪🏼💪🏼
With a storage life of 2-3 yrs. easy to make bread, acorns had been harvested for thousands of years. Great video, thanks.

Wow! What a great show! Amazing!
I like this series because it really shows the passion that you have Les it's truly uplifting and I really do appreciate this because it's a nice break from all the bad stuff we have in the world
Hey Les, as Canadians, that 'Madrone' tree is appropriately called an 'Arbutus' tree here in Beautiful British Columbia!
I love these videos please keep them coming!😋
Acorns have been on my list for a few years now. I was so happy to see that you cold leached the acorns preserving the starches and fats of the acorn. Oh, you can save some of the tannin water for use as a disinfectant. It has strong wound disinfectant properties. It can also be used to tan hides.
Tysm les love harvest always looking forward to u show ty paul
I've got the same dehydrator. She's never yet failed me. A good piece of equipment.
Les seems like a very spiritual and intuitive person who I can relate to. Great show! If only I could try some of the tea.
WOW You all Rocked it Out!
This is what we want and need to share with humanity, both inspiration and love of God's creation.
Spot on 👍
Beautiful!
Excellent as always Les. Glad you brought the 🐶.
This was so relaxing and wonderful to watch! I love your work Les! ❤️
Another great one Les, keep up the great work and yall be safe out there.
Really happy to see Les back. The OG of survival television. And personally, the only one I trust. I know he's not staying at a Motel 6 when the cameras go out when he's filming a show.
There are madrone trees literally EVERYWHERE where i live, and i had no idea the berries were edible. Thanks les!
I love this. I love that you're able to be free to do what you want -- and it's always amazing
This has to be around Cave Junction. I lived there for a year, and a half, and it looks so much like this location. It's beyond gorgeous, and I love the smells of the surrounding forests.
killing it.
Thank You for helping
This episode could have been harvested in my back yard!! I live in Grants Pass!!
Thanks for the video everone very nice and tasty ,Keep up the great work everyone yummy
I would like to see what you could do in different climates. I live in Phoenix . That would be interesting to see what you could do with plants in a desert. I imagine not much? 🤷♂️ none the less . This series is very interesting . Maybe it will give some chefs ideas to start a completely localized restaurant. I like this concept Les , well done 👏.
I have a great walnut tree in my backyard here in Australia. I was getting good harvests from it but now the local sulphur crested cockatoos are aware of it and there's rarely any left anymore.
nailed it imma make that dessert this fall
Thanks Les, never knew you could eat madrone berries! The species of black oak here in Oregon is actually Quercus kelloggii, California black oak, not Quercus velutina. Love all your stuff, keep em coming!
Very good video. I would have not expected less . I have used white oak before. I am in western NY A pain but we'll worth it . Black walnuts also good
Great video
This is an amazing thing to see.
Oh... PS chef Paul is a rock star 😎
I think the hummingbird flew by to signal his approval!
God! Canada is beautiful!
I love letter Kenny so much lol.
Fun Fact: The more bitter acorns like black and red oak usually contain more fat than less bitter white oak. And we know how important fat is in the wilderness!
I collected tons and tons of acorns last year it is a true staple. (I also sowed like 50 acorns at home in pots to plant out later as payment for their gifts)
i need a video on how the acorn infused bourbon is made Les. you are awesome!
I would love some of these recipes to try at home ...
Not sure what it is about Wild Harvest, but it scratches an itch similar to how Steve Irwins programs used to, but with food.
Keep the acorns with the weevils; them grubs are edible, too!
Say Hey!
Is there going to be a cookbook/foraging/prep guide at some point?
If this is a repeat question I apologize.
Most wild eatables books have some pretty bland recipes. Boil the greens in three changes of water kind of thing.
Great work. Thank you both very much.
Is there a cookbook for these wonderful recipes? If not, there needs to be!
A lot of cities in California have planted the European variety if madrone aka strawberry tree, which have even larger fruits. Great for jam, baked goods, and making a type of Portuguese brandy.
The best things in Life are free if you know where to find them, enjoy them and make them live on
Seriously who thumbs down these videos?
Catching up on this series again. I think it is fabulous and very informative. Question though, would you not leach the tannins before grinding? Does leaching after ground remove additional tannins as opposed to the whole nut? Love your work.

Acorn loaf, gonna give it a shot
You guys should make a salmon berry vinegarette on one episode! Just thought of that and it sounds awesome.
Toilet trick is fantastic
Beautiful episode! I love to see what you guys can create with these.
Also, would you be releasing the soundtrack at all? I would listen to that all the time.
I like it to.Reminds me of Bruce Hornsby And The Range.
I'm about to go find a forager one of these days, I love these so much. Where should I be looking to find one?
Patrick Wyman in his Tides of History podcast talked about how the Jomon of Japan and other Neolithic peoples relied on harvested acorns as a bridge to agriculture.
Les the sound track is amazing. I’m assuming you had a major part in the music as well? Thanks for the new episode today. Definitely enjoying it.
hehe "trail side nibbles"
You 2 should start a restaurant. Ill def. come!
