    Remember that if you’re going out specifically to forage, BRING SUPPLIES! Bring THICK gloves, scissors, ziplock bags, paper/tea towels, thick books, and wear appropriate clothing! Some things will poke and some will sting!

      Tip! Appropriate clothing for going out in the woods (for foraging, hiking, wandering, whatever) is long pants, taller socks, and long sleeves, and a hat if you can
      This will keep the sun off your body as well as keeping you safe from plants scratching you or bugs getting on you

    Look for dupes of the plants you want to forage online. Common berries like blueberries and elderberries have deadly lookalikes (Belladonna/deadly nightshade). Be careful out there!

      And if you wanna eat blueberries or strawberries from the woods, wash them before. You don't wanna have tapeworms! If it is a thing in America...

    fun fact: making brownie batter just to eat the raw batter is not necessarily a smart decision, but it is a delicious decision.
    just make sure to stop when your stomach starts making noise.
    learn from my brownie batter mistakes.

    Hi everyone :3!! I feel like foraging should be a skill that's taught a lot more. There's so much native edible food out there, and yet I wouldn't know the first thing about so much of it if I didn't look into it myself. Spread the good word of foraging!

    Please remember that certain plants can only exist with certain pollinators! If you wanna grow a plant, make sure to look up its pollinators/how it gets pollinated because it may be impossible for it to grow properly where you live!

      Thanks for this great advice @goblinguy3103 In my backward I have a grass called inland sea oats, which is the host plant for a little butterfly called the roadside skipper. (Also birds sometimes eat the seeds of the inland sea oats). And I have passion vine, which is the host plant for the gulf fritillary butterfly, which is this cute orange butterfly. I also have three types of milkweed, aquatic, swamp, and green antelope horn. Milkweed is the host plant for the monarch butterfly 🧡

    Hey comrades! I got to see *Across The Spiderverse* today!!
    I've been wanting to see it for a while, so I was very excited :D I really enjoyed it, thankfully!
    It was a great movie in every aspect, the sounds, the visuals, the plot, it was all amazing. I absolutely loved all the weird and funky sounds that played throughout the movie, especially the sounds that played when Miguel showed up.
    It was an amazing movie, but I did get bored around the end. Things were just too slow, and it got frustrating. I honestly just started rocking the chair (it only moved a little) because I was so bored and didn't have any stim toys.
    I was so pent up by the end that I felt like I needed to run, jump and spin in a circle (I couldn't bc I went to a shop right after 😢) it was so bad I wanted to just fling my arm so hard and dislocate it. I also kept twitching and stuff, and it was so annoying.
    But besides the fact that I got bored and couldn't pay attention by the end, it was an awesome movie :D Can't believe it ended on a cliffhanger tho >:( Very upsetting
    Anyhow, I hope you all have an amazing day/night! And I love you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️!!! Cya in the comments again soon 👋

    I love these videos! One of my favorite things to do with my cousins is to go berry picking, usually for raspberries, but occasionally we pick blueberries, wild strawberries, and chokecherries. We've made jam and syrup out of them. I remember one year we even picked fireweed and made fireweed jelly.

    Whenever i see people bone hunting it reminds me of the first date ive ever been on. We went to the forest and had a picnic before dragging a deer skeleton back to their house (they lived out in the country, we were in the forest behind their house)
    I also got a raccoon skull from that date, and i made them a crown made of vines and fleabane.
    I miss them.

  • @AnarchicCrow

    Question time! 🌱🌱🌱
    1) If you go foraging, what's your favourite snack to find?
    2) Do you have a garden/lawn/yard?
    3) Evergreen trees or deciduous trees? (Evergreen: pine, spruce, cedar, etc. Deciduous: oak, maple, ash, etc.)
    4) Have you noticed a lack of bees and other common pollinators lately? Despite having lots of wildflowers and such, I've barely seen any in my garden this year :(
    5) What's your favorite mushroom/fungi?

    • @delagoence3739
      @delagoence3739 Рік тому +5

      1) I like mints cause they're super easy to identify (anything in the mint family will have a square stem) and all mints are going to have some minty flavor
      2) yes I have a garden! I'm doing a lot of work this summer to expand and improve it. My garden is about triple it's size from last year, and I'm working on a rain garden. I also have plans for a second rain garden behind the berm to better catch and release rain water better and plans to put in a little water feature to attract dragonflies. I've been getting really into permaculture, succession planting, and food forests
      3) deciduous because I like the leaves turning in the fall, also angiosperm (flowering plants) gang all the way
      4) pollinators and insects generally are on the decline because of lawn culture and monoculture farming. Lawn culture hurts insects because it's acres and acres of Kentucky blue grass and only Kentucky blue grass, which is not friendly to having a healthy veriety of friends and most grasses are wind pollinated so not really for our insect friends, also by raking up all your leaves can heck up developing insect larvae, like praying mantises and beetles.
      However I've actually seen a lot more pollinators this year, but that's because I have a lot more flowers in my garden, so I must be doing something right lol
      5) my favorite edible mushroom is chicken of the woods (literally tastes like a chicken tender right off the tree), though fungi are such a unique and fascinating kingdom of life, and they can do so many wild and amazing things!!!

    • @YeetDeletus21
      @YeetDeletus21 Рік тому +2

      1) I'm new to foraging, so far I've only found wild berries, pink flowers, also used pine for incense (went wrong one time be careful when burning inscence!!!)
      2) no garden, but we have a small backyard
      3) evergreen!! (pine inscence!!)
      4) ya I have, there were less bees this spring then last year's
      5) idk 😭 not rlly a fan of mushrooms

    • @daughterofvibes
      @daughterofvibes Рік тому +2

      1) I mostly go foraging for berries, so that is mostly what I find and snack on
      2)I do have a garden, and also a pretty large yard, two acres!
      3)both! I love evergreens and deciduous trees
      4)I think there's been a pretty normal amount of bees
      5) my favorite mushroom to eat would have to be morels, but I love to look at ALL of them

      1) Don't forage yet, but always loved eating red clover flowers. Great little sugar boost
      2) Lawn and trees. Will be slowly adding garden, but letting the plants grow wild over some of the lawn in the meantime
      3) Both. White pine and hemlock for conifers with mostly red maples and oaks for deciduous
      4) Yes but im not too familiar with the area yet. I'm hoping the garden will help since we'll have a lot of native flowers included
      5) Oooo, that's hard... From what I can find in my area these little birds nest mushrooms that are less that a quarter of an inch tall and love growing on mulch. Haven't IDed species yet

      1. Bluebells, they're both pretty and sweet!
      2. Yes, a rather large yard
      3. Both, I love fir and aspen especially
      4. I haven't noticed any decline. We have a lot of wasps and hornets where I live, along with some bumble bees
      5. Amanita muscaria is my favorite mushroom, solely because of the look, because it's hard (for me) to tell the difference between the poisonous and nonpoisonous ones

    Oooo man, I need to keep 16:35 in mind when spring comes back,,
    I’ve seen grape hyacinth grow where I live, so I am very excited to possibly try making grape hyacinth lemonade !!
    I even found a little recipe online for it! Here’s the recipe plus ingredients for it :3
    **ingredients:**
    2 cups of grape hyacinth flowers
    3.5 cups of water [two of these cups will be needed for making the hyacinth syrup, so be sure to keep it separated!]
    1.5 cups of sugar
    2 tbsp of lemon juice
    **Steps/Instructions:**
    First you need to make your grape hyacinth syrup. Put your grape hyacinth flowers in a mason jar as well as and an equal amount of boiling water into the same mason jar, and let it sit for 1-2 hours. Then make your lemonade, and add the grape hyacinth syrup when it is done!
    The end product may be very sweet, so feel free to add less or more of the sugar and anything else to perfect it to your taste buds !!

    So, I learned something last night. I learned about coin clipping/shaving. And also learned a few more antisemitic dog whistles. One of which I went through a phase of saying, because Meowth from Pokémon said it a lot. For context, I was scrolling through shorts and found a video that mentioned "criminals" coin clipping, and then went into really old and valuable quarters and dimes from 1965. I didn't think anything of it, until I read the comments. They were just, horrendous. They were full of antisemitic dog whistles, and were like "wE aLl KnOw ThE gRoUp ThAt ClIpPeD cOiNs...109 tImEs...6 mIlLiOn..."
