Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
❤😂🎉
You all are so careful and thoughtful regarding everything you do - Really great video!
Appreciate you saying that. We do what we can but we’ll still be criticized by some people simply because we do commercial harvesting. Glad you noticed that we actually care 🌲
Truth@@northernwildharvest
Thanks guys for another very interesting video. The scenery takes my breath away, even around some of the burn areas. Have a great week!!
You guys eat well🎉
We do ❤ chaga🎉❤😊
I've been following along with this series here from home in northern Manitoba. Very interesting stuff, looks like a great lifestyle. I'm curious now to go look at some of last years burns from up here when the time is right ( we still have 4' of snow in the bush lol) No doubt you will be busy this spring/summer with the amount of fires last year. good luck and stay safe. (new sub)
Yes it’s looking to be a busy season this year! Cheers
Another excellent episode. Thanks! I live in Northeast Pennsylvania and we are lucky to have chaga here. I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking the tree got hit by lightening. 😄 Now I use it as a medicinal tea. It has so many benefits!
Yes Chaga is amazing stuff! Thanks

I was told to only harvest chaga in the winter only.
6:30 Chaga is a sterile conk and does not produce spores. Spores are produced after the host tree has died in little tubular pores initially hidden under the bark which later burst open.
Good info!
It does however provide energy for spore production.
@user-zr1ef8dm4e could you explain the science and lifespan of chaga for the viewers and customers?
Thank you for you comments.
@@randym8963 it's been awhile since i have studied chaga and when i did i believe there was very little documentation of it fruiting but what i did read was in line with x3P4L's comment. From my understanding chaga is a sclerotia a ball of mycelium used to store energy. In morels the sclerotia can either produce fruits (i think directly) or branch out into more mycelium depending on conditions. There are charts showing morel processes. So chaga it seems is a bit more extreme and stores lots of energy but rarely fruits. I think its been documented to fruit when limbs fall with a sclerotia on it as well as when the tree dies though id guess that it would occasionally fruit on living trees as well.
When i say the chaga fruits i mean the organism as a whole.
If at all possible could I buy some chaga from you?
Helen, shopify doesn’t currently service your location but if you send us an email we can make it work. Northernwildharvest@gmail.com
@@northernwildharvestgreat.. Could you give me an estimate as to how much 250 grams of chaga chunks would cost plus shipping. Thankyou Phil.
What happened to only harvesting half the chaga? You said that in an earlier video in this series
Most of the trees in that patch had multiple chaga growths further up the trunk that we could not reach
KG or LBS??? Use metric. You're Canadian... Ya I'm a dipsht American but I know metric... Believe it or not,,, lololol...
Lol left side of my brain is metric, right side tends to lbs.
