  • Wild Edible Plants Part 1 • Wild Edible Plants Part 1
    School of Self Reliance presents a few wild edible plants that can be found in the early springtime. Part 2 will be filmed and posted in the summer. We are re-filming our Wild Edible Plant videos now that we have a better camera and the footage is of better quality. (Sorry, the camera we had before was realllllly old and did not handle bright outdoor conditions very well at all, so we have invested in a nicer camera that will hopefully make filming outdoors easier with better quality!) Please remember to consult an expert or reliable field guides before consuming wild plants, as we are not doctors.

    You can cook the dandelion bulbs in butter too, my great gradma remembered that stuff from the depression. You can bread and fry the bulbs as well and its similar to ochra

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Food doesn't come from grocery stores initially. It's useful to be aware of your surroundings.

    Hi and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I recently started gardening and had a very bad meeting with poison ivy about 3 months ago while cleaning our back yard. Not knowing anything about I came in contact with a severly populated area & was in terrible shape for about 45 days until finally went away. So important your vids are. 2 days ago was mowing the lawn and I started smelling onions...I looked down & saw hundreds of them, I ran in the house and google & came across videos about them. Yesterday I collected about 200 & there are hundreds more. Just great stuff. I put a fence around the patches :) so I can keep collecting them to eat! Ty! will look for more videos from you in the future! Very interested in what you do!

      cuteblanca Thank you for watching our videos! Yes! Save your green onions! You can dry them on a cookie sheet pan in your oven on the lowest setting (160F to 170F) And once they are dry, put them in a ziploc bag or in a jar and use them when you cook! Again, thanks for watching!

    Nice video. Great speaking voice. Please dont pull up the plants unless you are gonna use them. You do good job with basic identification. I liked it.

    SchoolOf SelfReliance, Should wild edible plants be part of a regular diet or should you only eat wild edible plants in a emergency or survival situation?

    Do you own the place in beech grove drive by and see this sign almost everyday. Never knew what it was. do you teach survival or what?

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  9 років тому

      No we don't own any location in beech grove. We use property in LaPorte, Indiana for our survival classes. Not sure what sign you are referring to? Yes we teach classes. schoolofselfreliance.wix.com/schoolofselfreliance

    what is teh differnce between wild chive/oinion

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  7 років тому +1

      they are basically the same- the chives you use the green shoots and the onion you dig up to get the bulb.

  • @raptorjesus3rd
    @raptorjesus3rd 10 років тому

    how can you tell the difference between a wild chive and onion?

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  10 років тому

      wild onions and wild chives are essentially the same. Chives have a smaller bulb on them and the green shoots are smaller and thinner than a regular onion. When you go to the grocery store, look at chives and look at green onions in the produce aisle. You will see the chive green shoots are smaller and thinner and the green onion shoots are longer, bigger, and are more tubular. But they are both from the onion family and are edible and smell like onions.

    My forest friend I dont see any videos On hunting from you. I didnt have an outdoor father figure to ever teach me. And I dont see any book. I wanna know what I need to know about hunting deer boar etc from start to finish so help me out will ya

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  9 років тому

      Chance Blevins We have done some videos on fishing and snare trapping. We tried to get some deer hunting done last season (our boar problem is further north in Michigan than where I am located, might have to take a road trip lol!), but no luck on deer (saw plenty, just were not what was allowed by my hunting tags I had purchased), plus the temps dropped well below what the LCD screen camera could stand (would have broken the camera if we had taken it out this winter). Michigan and Indiana has small, limited hunting seasons, usually fall and winter. I will see what we can try to accomplish this summer when I know the camera can take being outside for long periods of time to film. Usually smaller game is allowed in the summer months. One day we will upgrade to a better camera.

    in Armenia we use plantain seeds for diarria, fever, cough and some thime we mix it with quince seeds and make a soothing tea. thank you

  • @robinconkel-hannan6629
    @robinconkel-hannan6629 9 років тому +4

    Wild onions and wild chives are the same except for size.. You will often 1 or 2 onions surrounded by the smaller/younger chives.. They are dormant in hot weather but grow winter as do some wild greens..

  • @Merbydoo
    @Merbydoo 10 років тому +2

    Watch eating too many of the plantain seeds, they do contain a mild laxative :-) Thank you for the good photos of early plants, great video!

  • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
    @SchoolOfSelfReliance  11 років тому +1

    Thank you for watching! We'll be doing more wild edibles as soon as more stuff grows in the woods! The heavy rainfall in this area in the last couple months has many of the places where we film, flooded out right now. Will try to film more as soon as we are able to!

    Hey, I am in central INDY. I spend a lot of time outside testing out my Kydex gear. I am the owner of ArmorSheaths LLC. Every once in a while I will forage plants/mushrooms to take home for lunch or add to a late breakfast. I like your style. I think its good practice to go out often and ID plants and collect to use. Keep up the good work. Oh, Ramps also smell like onions, and great with scrambled eggs!

    Looks like a good copperhead haven!

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  10 років тому +1

      Fortunately, we don't have copperheads or diamondbacks in Northwest Indiana. There is a small Timber Rattle that lives in these parts, but they are not seen frequently. Stay Snake Safe!

    • @born2tx
      @born2tx 10 років тому

      Your lucky not to have the copperheads. Keep safe.

    Am I seeing juvenile marijuana plants everywhere your kneeling down for onions/chives?

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  7 років тому

      I don't think so. There were a lot of dandelion leaves coming up, as well as plantain, grass, chives, and wood sorrell.

    • @dbcustomrc
      @dbcustomrc 7 років тому +1

      SchoolOf SelfReliance there are several small 5 leaf plants all around where you dig up the onions. LOL. Looked like my brother in laws grow operation he had in high school

  • @wthigo77
    @wthigo77 10 років тому

    the wild onions will easily pull out of the ground when ripe. if they don't they are not ready.

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  10 років тому +2

      Actually, in our experience, wild onion can be ripe and still not pull out of the ground easily due to the type of soil it is located in and the root system it has developed. Don't be fooled into thinking that you can just pull plants up easily because you believe they are "ripe".

  • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
    @SchoolOfSelfReliance  11 років тому

  • @RoyMcAllister
    @RoyMcAllister 9 років тому

    Yes I like your videos but I think that you need to either make more or expand the video to cover more plants but please remain thero in describing and showing the all parts of the plant please keep it up glad that you show areas where the plants can be found and tips and tricks of how to identify put more plants in the videos thank you

    I have been thinking about harvesting some wild plants because we live near a forest area but i live in Indiana does anyone know a good book or video for Indiana plants that can be eaten?

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  9 років тому

      ryanclemons1 You need to buy Peterson's Field Guide for the Eastern United States. Also, all of our wild edible plant videos are shot in Northwest Indiana/Southwest Michigan. You can find the plants in our videos in Indiana.

  • @jolj1
    @jolj1 10 років тому

    The onion you dug up looked like Amianthium Canadense.
    But in some of the other plant ID I could see a onion like plant that looked like
    Allium Vineale- crow garlic which can be eaten, but is very strong tasting plant.
    Do you have this wild garlic in your neck of the woods?
    We have both in S.C., much more of the wild/crow garlic.

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  10 років тому

      Wild garlic and chives grow like crazy up here! Great in a stew!

    One thing that is particularly good with the dandelion is taking just the yellow pedals and mixing some of that with ranch. Its really good with carrots to go along with it.

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  9 років тому

      Zach Margaris Never tried them with ranch dressing, might have to try that! Wife usually gathers dandelions and makes dandelion jelly, tea, and bread.

  • @chanceblevins6682
    @chanceblevins6682 9 років тому

    Great info. Personally I usually dont have a problem if I pull straight up forhanded with wild onion they can come up fairly easy. I can see digging if they are scarce but in NC youll find a bunch of them in uncut grassy areas.

    • @chanceblevins6682
      @chanceblevins6682 9 років тому

      Chance Blevins and in WNC is classified as a rain forest so moisture in grassland is common

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  9 років тому

      Chance Blevins I am originally from the coast of NC...soil is much better down South than up here in the Great Lakes region! Too much limestone and clay.

    • @chanceblevins6682
      @chanceblevins6682 9 років тому

      SchoolOf SelfReliance I can see that for lots of trees in WNC the soil is suprising ly fertile and soft. Black like the origon of tarheel story lol

    • @SchoolOfSelfReliance
      @SchoolOfSelfReliance  9 років тому

      yes it sure is. I know my wife's watermelons, veggies, and tomatoes grow better and bigger down South than they do up here. Soil's not as good and summer is usually too cool and wet. Need some of that good black rich soil!
