[FLUX] Urban Foraging Walk with Rebecca Lerner

[taporsnap1326]

nothing like eating some weeds that were growing right next to that car's tail pipe. it probably is filled with chemicals b/c when they start their car up in the AM its cold and all the exhaust builds up behind the car on the ground right where the weeds grow...

what a dumb bitch.. lol

[Babb26]

lol @ all the comments. Including at that asshole Mrjo33

[capthook1]

I'm all about this, BUT people are dirty and so are animals in the city. I'd eat this stuff after washing it off first. Nice info!

[crazeesob]

I guess she's following her passion.

[haolh79]

cgftyetterer

[Attz0r]

Fuck the road, I would eat any thing growing right next to a sidewalk, yeah its super moist, with animal piss.

[tigerbalm20000]

i think my dog peed there. You just got some extra vitamins and minerals in that bite.

[rdrkx80]

Totally seems like a portland girl

[MrMentalflossed]

INDIGO MEDICINE,.. watch and learn this small sample of what is available on 3d earth.

[rabidvoodoocat]

p.s. people need to stop saying "like" in their videos so much, it makes them sound ignorant.

[rabidvoodoocat]

please wash the plants first... we spray our yard with weed killers and insecticides sooooo you do not want them in your mouth.

[strokex1]

a smart learning vid. thanks.

[highflyer4]

id still wash the shit before you eat it, you never know what was poured on it.

[xXmusetteXx]

that stuff she just picked was right next to a tree.... a dog will deffo have peed on it!

[MrTurkeystylezzz2]

PORN! PORN! PORN!

/watch?v=4tLapdqi3xw

[tiznogodz]

I have 2 dogs. They have their old spots and their "new spots." If you do what this person does, you may be getting animal urine at least. Plants soak up their airy environment as well (listen to car traffic). "Know your environment" is good to know; she does not.

[GoodFriendsForever]

a dog probably shit on that

[ScottMcK9]

Dogs pish against trees :) lol good video though, interesting.

[xsuperiorbuztzx]

why don't we engage in "URBAN FORAGING" you ask? well, because people, dogs, cats, and a whole bunch of other wild creatures piss, shit & step on these lovely greens you're eating my dear.... Nurtritious, huh?

[Taud]

@xsuperiorbuztzx there IS such thing as washing them.... u ever heard of this concept?

Just like our garden in the country, the rabbits and birds piss/shit run all over the plants, we use that concept i mentioned earlier called washing them in the sink, you should try it out sometime, works wonders even with the super market fruit/veg, might i add those are from industrial farms that expose them to much worse than what we talked about before right?

[CommonersBeef]

OMG HOW DID SHE KNOW I WAS PUTTING THIS IN MY ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE????

[vogelxq]

0a17d 3b030 gl5rmp xac2 ad4nv7

[beedub31330]

I live in SE portland and do the same thing. Friends think I am a bit off. But I think its rather efficient.

[MsRobWood]

Does she spit or swallow? (oO.Oo)

[thebrassmonkey100]

@analisexn what the fuck are you talking about

[opey05casero]

this is cool but shes walking in peoples property lol

[AlgisKemezys]

This is great.

[IvanRosetheBand]

This is really cool.

[doobersmanster]

This is the same way I started to learn about edible medicinal plants..

[nanditeplus]

thank you for the capitalism reference

[psyclopz1]

2:30 "For like when the zombies come.." --I'm in love.

[Taud]

@psyclopz1 yeah wow.... i couldnt believe i heard that

[Rainsofchange]

SHE may not have put pesticides on it, but she can't guarantee they haven't been hit with crap from others. Depending on where you live, homeowner associations or cities will treat lawns. You also don't know what has seeped into the soil it grows in, and there's a lot more crap that can get in there in urban areas.

[mkbnett]

@Rainsofchange - What exactly are you afraid of that may have seeped into the soil, Rainsofchange? I don't see the value in your alarmist stance. The worst I can think of is lead, and the body generally doesn't absorb lead that has been taken up by the body of a plant. Most plants don't even accumulate high amounts of lead, with the exception of Mustards, Sunflowers, Amaranth, and other bioremediators.

[oonahgrl]

We have sourgrass here in Florida for vit. C. as well as wild fox grapes ( And knos oranges come from the Mediterrainean lolol)

[solardave1000]

rich girl I sell rocks

[patio87]

5:46

Shes asks, "now where's my meth?"

[hurleyman214]

pretty sure i saw animal dog poo in the grass at 1:05.

[savage308win]

Wow, so many haters. They probably have not had an original idea in their heads since birth. Most are probably 12 years old and too frail to go outdoors for any length of time. The vid is good and brings awareness to an interesting and overlooked subject. "Self sufficiency in nature," a dying art that could save someone in a bind someday.

[christopherinsc1981]

awesome next time I cut grass im going to try to bag it up and sell it at the local food  market

[Robikus]

Very cool, great vid. What books on this topic would you suggest?

[FirstWays]

@Robikus Thanks for asking! I have a list of how-to books and field guides I really like on the "Resources" page of my website at FirstWays[dot]com

[ImSoLadyGaga]

bitch is eatin grass the fuck

[blackmagicmarkr]

If I get poisoned from eating some of this shit, I'm suing your ass...lol jk awesome vid

[racevws]

I prefer foraging for squirrels.

[dewpdx]

After taking a plant walk with Wild Girl, I now know medicinal and edible uses for herbs that grow everywhere. It's a real eye opener. :)

[MrJo33]

speak louder bitch

[asdfqwer8668]

yea.. people walk on that shit with shit on there shoes

yumm poor people eating grass

[asdfqwer8668]

yea.. people walk on that shit with shit on there shoes

yumm

[check2wice]

derp

[ManTheBush]

In City's you have to worry about car exhaust that has carcinogenic and cancer causing compounds, car exhaust will settle on plants especially on heavily traveled roads, then there is the obvious dog pee, but if a cat has done its business near a plant you are harvesting you can get a parasitic disease called toxoplasmosis.

[mekdessie123]

i'd smash.

[landsake]

Thanks for this video - I've been studying ethnobotany as a hobby for years, and got some new tips from you today!

[poofballbeanie]

She is amazing! Besides, It'd be a cheap date

[ThatHaloGuy117]

"I'll just take a look out my window... why is someone eating my weeds?"

[flibber123]

I'm just glad to know other people are making plans for the upcoming zombie invasion. I've been looking for someone to cover the food angle, since my urban foraging skills are limited to knowing which houses in the neighborhood are growing pot.

By the way, whatever was growing on the tree, no matter how tasty...dude, dogs pee on trees! You can't eat that. Well you can but just know random dogs, and possibly people, have peed on it first.

[MrDasgarrett]

i just wasted 5:45 of my life.

[stonethugmusic]

Wow

[brauncarter1]

nice, i live in NE and have actually seen you around. you inspired me to start doing this

[melanyrae62]

Love this - even though I've been eating weeds for a couple years, I always learn new things from your blog. Thank you for all you're doing!!!

[renissant]

My father is always pointing out wild plants that are edible. A lost art I guess, with the arrival of mcdonalds and places like that. Too bad.

[TheScorpion615]

just wondering where are you from Rebecca? nice video btw and you look hot. im interested in learning about safe plants to eat.because you never know when it could be useful. about books ive heard that the peterson field guide is a great book to learn more about plants to eat. okay thats and have a nice day.

[FuturePilotOfaBoeing]

To bad a dog pissed there lmao

[jesuswashere0000]

FAGGOT WOMAN

[karasuhaiku]

Thanks Rebecca for reminding us that food used to be free, and good for us. Be careful what you collect from roadsides and urban lawns - heavy metals and pesticides are not Good Eats. But I love your enthusiasm and it's obvious you know your plants! Keep educating people - the world needs more like you. :)

[123amandakable]

Very interesting and informative.

And do you think your store bought stuff is grown in a vacuum? - Think again;-)

[2allulahbelle]

IT DOESNT NEED TO BE LIKE THIS! take advantage of all the edible non natives that are almost uniquely urban, berries and fruit. guerilla plant edibles,seed bomb herbs.Learn to preserve... salad can grow on a windowsill, urban sidewalk greens are not a great idea because of direct soil contamination. stress the importance of washing and cooking. be sensible about your picking places. see Pickling Peckham urban foraging on facebook for urban foraging ideas not involving weeds.

[audioevan1]

What if a dog peed all over those

[greenace14]

@audioevan1 You don't wash your food?

Nasty stuff can happen from a Mexican sneezing on that apple to a rat taking dump on that soda can.

so yeah... wash your food

[Taud]

@audioevan1 its called washing in a sink?

[ClintL63]

@audioevan1 Then you dont need any seasoning

[SchmidtyXX]

@audioevan1 Good thing piss is sterile......

[tjw3999]

@audioevan1 i pissed there on the way home  from the bar

[Catkin21]

There's so much wild food to be found around Portland, this is just the tip of the iceberg! I definitely agree that it's wise to start close to home and begin familiarizing yourself with what grows in your area. I've been doing exactly that over the past few weeks and have discovered sizable patches of pineapple weed, trailing blackberry hidden among the abundant Himalayan blackberry, thimbleberry just beginning to fruit...the list goes on. :)

[rijotech]

I think she need to stop doing whatever drugs she's doing. Lol

[TheSidChannel]

haaaa

[trufiend138]

Wow she is ugly, also camera should be showing us more of the plants not at her talking about them!!!

[Pepeseinn]

She said zombies, i love her now.

[najeebu1]

Watch my firework video

[cfetzner]

if theres dog crap on it does  that count as a free topping?

[cfetzner]

even homeless people wont eat that shit ! lol

[1v1Multimedia]

Now he do we kill zombies

[1v1Multimedia]

She sounds so smart

[najeebu1]

Watch my firework video

[thejenifer666]

lol what the fuck bahahahahahahahahaha! urban foreging? i was on that same street last night when i got wasted and pissed / puked all over those greens that she was eating now i just feel bad for her. srry ;)

[Ilikemeows]

Lol, my grandma does this, well used to since u can get a fine?

[Resupplyed]

Id do her

[m4moth]

With the time you wasted looking for something to eat in the city you could have found enough change to buy something to eat.

[megajames3000]

@m4moth i dont find change that easily. .. not saying i do this shit though haha

[ensouls]

Mm...dog pee

[zacatetas]

post meth binge, she'd eat anything, including the dirt

[Trichomes503]

I ate a stinky brown plant that I found growing in my neighbors lawn.

[HarroThereNowDie]

卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐卐­­卐卐卐卐卐卐卐

[randallschecter]

i need meat! eating leaves and sticks sux

[DeaneRenata]

I am just wondering but it urban foraging a fad? Heard about that, that hunting a foraging for food is the thing if u wanna eat now? *is confused*

[DeaneRenata]

I put it in my pocket and it hurt because it had little pricklies growing on it.

[DeaneRenata]

Sorry if this sounds odd but I was interested in wild plants for awhile I did research on a little prickly bulb growing purple hairs...found out it was called milk thistle. Grew outside my house, cropped it with scissors. Put it in my pocket and it hurt.

[taratorah]

Makes sense to me....if your food isn't greenhouse grown, bugs are going to crawl on it, animals are going to take dumps on it (and walk on it), whether it's growing in your yard or a farmer's field! Nothing wrong with expanding your culinary repertoire, especially when it's FREE!

[tKuruk]

that's crazy, don't harvest stuff directly from the side of the rode. E.g. the oil run off from the street will be accumulated in the plant. Also you don't know if somebody took a piss there are or a dog shit on it.

Go to your backyard, or better into nature (countryside)

check the eattheweeds channel

[espinal50]

awwhwhhhh i thought this was about bud :[

[SamuRlz]

lost 5 min of my life !

[NecromanceS]

Ok. Eat those pesticides.

[Insanetoaster]

she is well spoken and clearly knows what shes talking about

[gerfall]

Or you can make a garden for yourself....

[kenkwilliams79]

new york

[tomestokes]

One mans opinion, Foolish.

[dogbone222]

chickweed....



[WarpedNut]

now i get it her big ass teeth make her part horse DUH it was right in front of me

[koky5150]

dogs pee and poo on that lawn...better wash that first...ohh no she didn't

[Mantisisland]

This is ridiculously Portland. Enough so to make this Oregonian a little homesick here in Florida...

[flowbiwanchaynobi]

Hopefully she doesn't end up like Chris McCandless

[savage308win]

Good vid, people should learn what is eatable in their areas. I am an outdoors man so wild eatables are familiar.The prejudices many people have is exactly what, threw their willfully ignorance I might add, keeps them completely dependant others, mostly corporations. This imho is reckless. Self sufficiency is enlightening. Just be sure the owner of the yard in urban setting has not sprayed poisons on it recently nor his neighbors. Be aware of water runoff from other treated yards also.

[Miikaika25]

I love a well spoken woman : )

[Primalxbeast]

My dog pisses on every plant he sees when taking a walk, and the cities use reclaimed water to water most green areas here. Eating anything near sidewalks would be a bad idea.

[zoggman2000]

Cool video. Keep it up.

[Norseman870]

I'm a country boy and I think this is pretty cool. There's no reason rural folks should be the only ones who know this stuff. 

[davidfuckingmoody]

What a cheap date, you'd just have to take her to the field behind the Dennys

[calexander007]

Thanks for this. Interesting and helpful.

[loldudeno]

damn woman atleast wash it first

[JASONZx6R]

interesting. thhanks,.,.altho im not worried baout the cars as more dogies peeein on my salad

[tmu4life]

Fucking Hipsters lol

[MRtwoTricks]

Wow, I am impressed and thankful that the younger generation are discovering the survivalist/self reliance lifestyle. I do want to add one caveat, careful what you harvest out of a urban yard. If the lawn looks manicured and well tended then you can suspect things like fertilizer or pesticides, not good eats people. Two ask! Talk to the property owner before you graze, most would be happy to let you take their "weeds"

[msmel141]

Rebecca thanks for this information and sharing your gratitude for what nature is still trying to provide us through the blanket of concrete we have spread out!!! I think you're awesome :)

[punkapie95]

a) eew

b) she made herself out to sound sort of intelligent until she said, "say, for when the zombies come, or something."

[tchanabc]

@punkapie95 The zombie thing was a joke. It's kind of easy to tell that it was. Maybe you're not as intelligent as you make yourself out to be?

[punkapie95]

@tchanabc you're right haha. i'm a dumb troll who is skeptical of urban foraging and dry zombie sarcasm. :)

[tchanabc]

@punkapie95 Trolls <3

[punkapie95]

@tchanabc indeed

[superduperdil]

Well i think we finally found the cure for hunger..... Free Food... Hmmmm who would have thought? ....

[KrazyKKid]

I would eat her bush anytime

[rustyragster]

wtf is up with these videos in the spotlight

[stonethugmusic]

Wow

[Onyonghasayo]

It's actually highly advised not to eat anything withing 50 feet of a road. Also dried chickweed makes a good coffee substitute.

[hellagorilla]

you probably use a mac. That' is why I can't hear a dmn thing. Check your volume levels when you edit!!

[rustytool100]

Dog piss salade, yum, yum.

[kossmikham]

Can you say "dog piss"? How about "splashed road grime"?

[TheDuckseason]

AWSOME !! Subscribed !! 

[mvallin]

hows that dog pee taste? I wouldn't eat anything off someones front lawn without washing it.

[tritanproductions]

Gay

[J5MARLON]

Black berries are one thing I eat but every little plant that people walked on dogs peed or pesticide people sprayed on is well....just a bad idea.

[zimij325]

That's the spirit. "Weeds" are free food and medicine. I often eat from my lawn when I run my mower(I'm not allowed sheep in my neighborhood...yet) We should learn the value of plants just as we can learn the meanings of words. Freedom grows out of knowledge.

[Revile2nr]

you can eat dandelions!? shiiiiiiiit

I guess I should stop killing them all the time.

[TheOneAndOnlyMichel]

I'm pretty sure a dog or cat has peed on some of that stuff lol.. anybody say worms?

[zanychimp]

Hey i've known how to do this since i wuz like 5! Glad to see it's finally getting some acknowledgement!

[MRemojohny]

Woah!

[hellagunner1]

hey! my dog shits on that lawn!

[omgsomeusername]

Everyone who got "Rebecca" name will get a lot of dislikes. This is the curse of utube.

[JDilla2812]

Welcome to Azeroth

[mcgoo721]

@JDilla2812 She has maxed herbalism. If she eats something bad, she just pops lifeblood.

[howardsrollin]

Rebecca Linares is better.

[minicaxotinho]

What if... Someone took a leak in there the night before?

[skilo1983]

LOL pause @ 1:28

"Gee i wonder why this taste like cat piss?"

[skilo1983]

You cant just eat it , you need to wash it off first, do you know how many dogs,cats,birds,squrills etc have shit and pissed in that area?

[rvlqcitizen]

Very cool. You've a new sub in me. I look forward to diggin more vids in this vein. Good stuff. Thanks.

[AndyBodyHome]

can u like speak up
