[newt149]

What region of the US are you in. Just a general ie. Southeast, Northeast. If you dont want to say thats ok too. Thanks.

[newt149]

About the green briar. Can you eat the bulb of them?

[SustenanceNCovering]

Wow. This is a really good video.

Isn't any plant edible as long as its not poisonous? If I had to couldn't I just eat grass? I guess what I should be asking is how many plants are actually poisonous? I don't know anything about this and I would think it would be low, like 5% and ones that could actually kill somebody from just eating a little would be less than 1%.

[PackRat556]

@tyler361549 I tend to look at it like this, all plants could be poisonous unless I know them to be safe to use. There are many plants out there that while may not be fatal, can cause mild to severe symptoms and sickness. I choose to be cautious with wild edibles to ensure to only use "known" species, and recommend others to do the same. Take Care.

[LoneWolfTac79]

Welcome back!!! Glad to see you are still at it.

[PackRat556]

@LoneWolfTac79 Thanks my friend! Thanks also for your interest!

[kimber45s]

Did you determine what the green leaf with the purple bottom is?  Is it an edible? Thanks for the information and a great vid.

[PackRat556]

@kimber45s It is indeed a Cranefly Orchid. All reading I have done says it is edible as well, however they are somewhat rare in my area and even considered endangered. Had I known that, I would have left it intact! At least there were others around. I hope to get a picture of it in bloom this summer if I can relocate it!

[TheSurviver72]

Great vid, Bro.

[PackRat556]

@TheSurviver72 Thank you brother!

[CPTNoahdog]

[XCritonX]

I love to eat pine needles. Especially the very fresh ones in spring.

[PackRat556]

@XCritonX I also like that taste. Some people might call us weird :) Thanks for watching!

[CampfireTalk]

Ecology, wild edibles, tracking & viewing animals really opens up my outdoor experience. Within the past year I've been trying to expand my knowledge of these subjects.

Very enjoyable video & I almost felt like I was hiking it with you. Thanks for bringing us along.

[PackRat556]

@CampfireTalk Thank you for your interest and support always brother! I too have tried to continually learn more about these topics! It is definitely a lifelong journey.

[1mrgasgas1]

[PackRat556]

[PackRat556]

@007vauxhall Thank you my friend for your support!

[markshmily]

Great video.. pretty interesting.

Great tip at the end... reminding everyone to do research before eating or using plants and things you find.

Do you have any gear updates or different things you carry out in the doors with you?

[PackRat556]

@markshmily Thank you for the kind words my friend! I have totally updated my gear system and need to, really need to share it soon! My old video on the backpack kit is so different from what I am carrying now. Take Care.

[kirklanddavis]

i belive its a cranefly orchid

[PackRat556]

@kirklanddavis You are absolutely right! Great call on that by the way. They are actually rare and endangered from what I have read.

[kirklanddavis]

@PackRat556 yea i think they are rare now i havent seen any in my area in 3+ years

[Pointshooter]

Welcome back PackRat! Please know that you and your family are in my prayers!

[PackRat556]

@Pointshooter Thank you so much for that my friend! It is most appreciated! God bless you and your as well!

[AppalachianFreedom]

Thank you sir! It's good to see you!

[katzcradul]

I believe the plant with the green top and purple bottom is a Cranefly Orchid. If it is, the tuber is edible and is starchy and tastes something like a potato.  Enjoyed the video.

[MrBudwv]

@katzcradul I beleive your right. I didn't know it was edible though. Have you actually tried it?

[katzcradul]

@MrBudwv No, I have not ever tried it, or seen it. Just researched it.

[MrBudwv]

@MrBudwv Just wondering. It doesn't grow here. Of if it does I've always over looked it. 

[OperationThor]

@katzcradul Is that straight out of SAS survival guide lol

[katzcradul]

@OperationThor I don't have a copy of that, but probably should get it. Actually, you can find this information in many places...if you know where to look.

[secretjustin]

That one plant that you wanted to look up, almost looks like some type of sweet potato...

[1CHANCEPRO]

Thanks for making the video. Very interesting and insires me to get out there and learn. I heard or pine needle tea a lot just never tried, guess I'll have to. Also gonna keep an eye out for thepine nuts.

[zehnsechz]

did ya?

[Asasaghghh]

So did you find out what that plant was at 10:32?

[KillerFlyingFish]

can you eat the grass of wild onion plants

[ElCoyotefromTexas]

Nice vid, glad to see you back

[megal0w]

pine noodle tea not heard of that lol

good to see you back man

[mooseyou2]

enjoyed the video

thanks

[sunchipsism]

welcome back! haha to be honest youre my most trusted source of survival and camping infromation thanks for spending so much time on us

[flamedrag18]

13:08, that looks more like a wasp or hornet nest, but might be bee. likely a raccoon or bear raided a nest during the winter for food, killing off the nest.

[wikidiznit]

Its great to have you back, giving us excellent videos as per usual!

[thenrylee]

You've probably said in past vids, but I don't remember. What part of the country are you in?
