As a Cherokee I havta tell ya you'd make a pretty good Indian, Creek. We met many years ago. No way you would remember. My wife and I met you in Anderson. She died last November. I'll be joining her soon. I feel it. I'm looking forward to it. I live in Marion with my cat, Cooter.
Great video. Thanks! That stew really looks good. Makes me want to run out to the woods right now! I also think that, in these unsettling times, it's a good idea to know about the foods that nature provides and how to prepare them. Thanks Creek!
The tone, content, and format of these recent videos have all been stellar. This is the type of video that brings people back again and again. I hope you keep it up. I've enjoyed these recent videos of yours and consider them to be some of the best content on UA-cam for outdoor enthusiasts.
A great video. For some who can't get out to the woods, its almost like taking a trip to the woods with you, very relaxing music learning things at the same time. A++++ video
Creek, it is so nice to watch someone who is at peace and is in tune with what is important in life. Your wisdom is beyond your years and shows in all of your work. Merry Christmas and peace to you in the New Year my Brother in Christ. Thank you for providing us these small escapes.
My dad sent me this video. He knows I’m an outdoorsy woman and have been learning a lot about growing my own food for my family during the last year. Foraging for wild edibles was not something I had previously had on my radar but this video made it so! Excellent video, calming and incredibly informative! You’ve got a new subscriber (:
Lambs quarters is very useful and productive plant. I harvested a small plot that overtook my garden (250sq feet) of 8 foot tall LQs and have enough seed to eat for the winter. And I was lazy about it. I was shocked at home much you got. Just need to strain it threw mesh or whatever. The seeds taste like strong spinach flavor, very musky taste but the texture is terrific and crunchy even after boiling it.
We have some lambs quarters on our forest land, but they are much smaller than in your area; maybe 12 inches tall, or a little more. We are coastal western Washington State. Would not get nearly the yield you got. Maybe we should foster more plants.
These videos are great! And not just for the info. They are really soothing. Calming. I like it that there isn’t a ton of talking. It gives me time to really watch what you’re doing. Felt like I was there.
Mesmerizingly beautiful, Creek... Thank you for not only sharing more of the wealth of the land but the heart of the man, as well. Profoundly appreciated, brother! May the Good Lord Bless you and all of those you love with health and gratitude, this Holiday season!
I agree about how wild harvesting connects us to the earth, our creator and our ancestors. Foraging grounds me in away nothing else can. I haven't toasted the Lambs quarter seeds but I am going to try it now. I may also try it with the nettle seeds as well ;) I put seeds on my cereal and in my soups etc. So good! anyway thank you for the video. Happy foraging and stay wild!
Ok just tried this. Seeds were toasty and a little bitter but bitter is good for us ;) I put the toasted seeds on wholegrain toast with ghee, and honey. Very good!
Amazing video! I love lamb's quarter leaves, just like a healthier spinach. I found that toasting the tiny flowers in hot sunlight (I used a large salad bowl) also tasted like popcorn. I have yet to try the seeds but I am definitely inspired and intrigued. God made some great options even in the dead of winter it seems, the indigenous were aware of most if not all of them.

Just found your channel and love the vid you made. I have eaten young lamb's quarters leaves raw in a salad and also cooked them replacing spinach but never thought of trying out the seeds. If the birds leave me some, I will surely try them as you made them. Many thanks and God bless.
I only have to go as far as my backyard. Popped amaranth and honey make a treat likey rice Krispy marshmallow treats. I am pretty sure lamb's quarters seeds will work too.
Another outstanding video Creek! Thank you so much for sharing them. And reminding all of us what's really important. If we just open our eyes, and listen!
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! I learned something watching these videos. Thank You! I know quail like lambs quarter, as well as rag weed and others, so why not humans. Makes sense. Thanks for all You Do! God Bless!
The plant taste good with its tiny young leaves which taste is like cabbage. I was thinking: why is he cooking it and not simply eating them raw in a salad. Ah, I hadn’t realised the seeds’ taste is drawn out when roasted.
Thanks for sharing your videos. And keep up the good work. I've eaten the top leaves, and I like them alot. I keep hearing that stinging nettles and the roots of dandelion and the centers of burrdock stems , are supposed to be good.. Thanks again...
O i love this video and thank you 💖 for sharing this. I just ate a salad of these beautiful i apreciate you motivating others through your knowledge and professional video productions.😊 Stay safe and take care. ❤
Foraging is nice but should discuss foraging for seeds & cuttings to propagate to be more accessible even indoor & in winter (sprouts, microgreens hydroponics etc), especially highly nutritious super foods. That is how we progressed from a foraging society!
I just harvest green seeds and 🍃 's i will make some recepies from my country i will just replace the original green leafs for lambsquaters. Questions?? Can i save some of those green seeds and dry them for next year. And if yes what time should i sow them??
Great video, thank you! From my experience those seeds (Chenopodium album) are very bitter and require simple processing to make them edible. Is the plant you are referring to Chenopodium berlandieri or Chenopodium album?

Dude, I gotta say this recent series on wild edibles has probably been some of your best video work.
Great video. Thanks! That stew really looks good. Makes me want to run out to the woods right now!
I also think that, in these unsettling times, it's a good idea to know about the foods that nature provides and how to prepare them.
Thanks Creek!
Absolutely love this series on wild edibles
This explains why it looks like I planted 100,000 seeds when I didn't plant any. They LOVE horse manure and duck water.
The tone, content, and format of these recent videos have all been stellar. This is the type of video that brings people back again and again. I hope you keep it up. I've enjoyed these recent videos of yours and consider them to be some of the best content on UA-cam for outdoor enthusiasts.

It would be Interesting to try an ash cake of it with raisins and A dash of cinnamon instead of figs. Just a thought

Email me your address and I’ll mail you some seeds : creek@creekstewart.com
HAVE to have lunch now man.🤣👍😎
Enjoy as much as I've enjoyed watching 👍😎
Thanks for the recipe 👍😎
👍😎❤🖖
Love brother

Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed this one as well. Love your filming and narration. The meal looked excellent, gotta try this one. Thank you!
I look forward to each new video in this series every week. Thank-you.
THanks Bill!
Mesmerizingly beautiful, Creek... Thank you for not only sharing more of the wealth of the land but the heart of the man, as well. Profoundly appreciated, brother! May the Good Lord Bless you and all of those you love with health and gratitude, this Holiday season!
That looks delicious!! Hope I can find some seeds to try it out. Thanks for sharing this.
The leaves are edible too. Another edible relative is the Redroot Pigweed or north American amaranth.
Thanks Creek. Keep the videos coming!
Will do!
I'm gonna say one of the best survival videos I've seen. That was cool dude .

Would be something wonderful to be in the woods, looks so relaxing!
Kinda weird that I do walk by those during fall and winter and think they are just a weed of some sort. That is amazing. Thanks
Now you know Isaac!

Merry Christmas, Creek. Be well and at peace.
They grew and ate this in viking age Norway as well! Today many consider it a weed unfortunately
Wow, thank you for the inspiration

Love your videos Creek so relaxing to watch keep them coming
Fantastic Video. I will try that soon. Looks great
Thanks so much for this! 😃
Wonderful, and looks delicious.
This is such an awesome series!! Thanks Creek!
My pleasure!
well done video. clear, and easy to follow. will be trying. seeds.
That looks super delicious and rustic 🤤
Thanks for sharing your videos. And keep up the good work.
I've eaten the top leaves, and I like them alot.
I keep hearing that stinging nettles and the roots of dandelion and the centers of burrdock stems , are supposed to be good..
Thanks again...
Stinging nettle leaves are delicious. Just a gentle boil, and lemon juice.
O i love this video and thank you 💖 for sharing this. I just ate a salad of these beautiful i apreciate you motivating others through your knowledge and professional video productions.😊 Stay safe and take care. ❤
How do you test a plant or seeds from something you forage, to make sure it is not a "looks similar" toxic plant?
Absolutely a great video, and I enjoyed your tasty description of the mixture.
Foraging is nice but should discuss foraging for seeds & cuttings to propagate to be more accessible even indoor & in winter (sprouts, microgreens hydroponics etc), especially highly nutritious super foods.
That is how we progressed from a foraging society!
great video, sharing it on my site. thank you!
I just harvest green seeds and 🍃 's i will make some recepies from my country i will just replace the original green leafs for lambsquaters. Questions?? Can i save some of those green seeds and dry them for next year. And if yes what time should i sow them??
Dragonfiretinderbox loved this video. Fantastic.
Those pants are awesome looking what are they?
This was great. I learned a lot!
I shall never go hungry!!! States the person surrounded by Lambs quarter.
Great video, thank you! From my experience those seeds (Chenopodium album) are very bitter and require simple processing to make them edible. Is the plant you are referring to Chenopodium berlandieri or Chenopodium album?
yes... i'm sure it's safer to soak them 9-12 hrs, then thoroughly rinse them, to get rid of the saponins... 🌳🕊💚
Do you get your figs local?
Dock seed?
I cant take it!
