Good video, survivalistboards. In the Southeast, as a kid, we just called them 'wild grapes' (as opposed to 'those fancy domesticated grapes' like in Grandpa's trellis). Musciedime wine is good, too!
theres a point where you can stop worrying. sure there could be, but there isnt much water on the grape. its good to have a general rule of sanitation/purification that you use habitually. but little instances like this can be ok. just dont make it a habit
Thanks Kev, as a fellow East Texan, it is nice to know what those vines are since they are all around the creek areas. I remember pulling on those when I was younger playing with friends down by the creek.
The fish, I would with little doubt call it a bluegill.
Thank you for all of your recent videos. I am glad you have several this past month. Thanks again.
well i really wanted to see the fish he caught to go back in the water it is soo cool! but maybe the boy child ,i forget his name, maybe he squished it and did not tell his dad, or maybe he put it in a bag to take it home :)
rinse it off in the water a little. theres no way in hell ur gonna get the sanitation you seem to be expecting. eating anything out in the woods comes with risks. that said i would put money on you not getting sick eating ripened berries that look healthy from the wild.
Eh, if its a kind of perch then in Texas it is a trash fish so you don't really need to know what kind it is... but yes, its a red breasted sunfish (there is like 5 other names for them depending on where you live..)
In Iowa and Illinois we just call all those fish Bluegills even though there are a few different ones we just lump them up into the Bluegill family unless its a Crappie. They are all very good eating but you have to catch a bunch dont ya! LOL!!!
great vid but you always want to wash stuff with fresh water if you have it available b/c water-borne diseases like geardia (sp?) and e. coli can be contracted if you get a bit of water on your lips or on the food that you washed in the water.
Great vid but I have a qustion, if you get the berry from the vine and you wash it off in the stream/ pond thing wont the bacteria from the pond get on the berry and you eat that too? vs washing not washing it off? whats worse?
owned4thewin - that is a very good question and I do not have an answer. But I can tell you that I know the area where my kids and I were at, and there are no people living upstream from our location. A lot of diseases are caused by human waste and untreated sewage. And if you really wanted to get technical, anytime you go swimming in a lake or river, you expose yourself to all kinds of bacteria.
owned4thewin - and, which one is more unsafe, going swimming in a lake, pond or river and getting the water into your nose, mouth, ears and eyes. Or washing off a single berry and eating it?
You should take into consideration certain factors that influence the types and amount of infection in the water.
But - all water should be considered unsafe to drink.
@survivalistboards I think you're better off just wiping off the berry on your shirt and eating it then washing it in anything but clean potable water.
@survivalistboards With all due respect, that's incorrect and people have become extremely sick and even died from that old wives tale. Micro-organisms occur EVERYWHERE, no just from people. from bacteria to worms/parasites. You do not need people anywhere around for them. Second, chemicals are the biggest problem US water, even far from cities; run-off,sprays,evaporation, etc.
First of all Kevin. The water you are rinsing the grapes in, that can have cripto-sporitiam, ghairdia- you can get those by just rubbing your eye withwet hands. You should be more carefull if your not sure the water is clean. And the fish, that's not a perch it is a sunfish or bluegill. Thanks
Good point on a the risk of the water. On the perch comment, ya ain't from Texas now are ya? In Florida all bluegill and similar sunfish are called brim, this is like calling a can of soda a "coke". In Texas they are generically called perch, I am sure Kevin knows plenty about the difference between a bluegill, long ear, red ear, shell cracker, etc.
in jersey we have a vine like that too...but i am not 100 percent sure i could eat anything from it. the fish however is a sunny. and you get a few more that big and you make your self some fried fish nuggets...mmmmmmmm
Love the commentary about the vines. I'm from Texas also, and have seen those vines with the wild grapes on them before. Always wondered if they were edible. My problem is that I'm still not 100% sure if the vines are see are the same as yours in the video. It would be nice to see a comparison of this plant to similar looking plants and how to tell the difference.
Wow didnt expect to see the same grape we get in NC all the way down in Texas. The vines up here though grow everywhere all above you, through bushes, anything it can wrap itself around. Makes great snacks when cruisin around on the 4wheelers with my cousins.
A bream. Hand size ones make tender fillets!! Where in E. Texas are you? Am in NWLa. 30 minutes from the Texas border. We have the vines behind our home, along a bayou, (creek), and I've heard them called possum berries. Peace2U!!
That is great that you go out to the wildernes with your kids and teach them how to respect the land. My father took me camping for the first time when I was 13 and I've been hooked ever since. Great video! 5 Stars
the only thing you really need to watch out for in "dirty" water is cholera, which is from sewage. Unless you're in a third world country, you shouldn't worry about it.
How do you think we survived as hunter-gatherers if we couldn't survive drinking creek water?
This isn't the era of the hunter gatherer. Human contamination is present in just about all unprotected sources of fresh water. Even in this video there is trash in the creek. I'm not saying all fresh water streams are contaminated but I am saying better safe than sorry..Respectfully..
IHatchetJack - In the USA, most waterborne illnesses are caused by human waste - also known as "sewage." Where my kids and I were at, there are no people living up stream. You can still get sick, bu its less likely if nobody lives above your location.
But to answer the question, no, I have never gotten sick from drinking from streams or creeks. But I am also careful about "where" I drink from.
we got em in ohio for sure, on a property where i hunt they are very abundant and the deer eat them but the vines choke out alot of the oak trees so we try to cut the vines when we can
we call 'em muscadines or scuppernogs here in georgia. i actually have some growing in the back yard. they sell for 3 and 4 dollars a pound in the grocery stores. they make a great wine too.
we call that fish a war mouth . it is supose to to be a cross between a crappie and a bream . in south carolina we have the muscidine and the bullis(not t sure of the spelling )one is greenish color the other is purple when ripe. good videos , keep them coming
I never heard them called possum grapes. Here in NW south carolina they are called muscadines or scuppernongs. Good video.

Agree. My point is that the human body has very effective immune defense mechanisms that deal with pathogens.
Do not assume that drinking contaminated water will necessarily make you sick. 9 out of 10 times, your body will fight it off without you knowing.
