you made a better explanation in your video than the pro's, so i guess this makes you top dog, except you are not a dog but you get what i mean, great video thank you for the upload
@SuperMassagediva No, it's actually Musk Thistle, an aggressive invasive species which only reproduces via seed, instead of through seeds or vegetative reproduction (runners, creepers, shoots, cuttings) like most plants can. It's good to tell people ways they can be used, but be aware that most are found along roadsides and host plant parasites.
We had a big field of these thistles when I was a kid and nobody knew what to do with them. It's a tragedy because three of the eight kids developed schitzophrenia. If we had only known how to help ourselves. Maybe these things never would have happened to us.
I'm actually surprised you didn't mention anything about turning the larger stalks into cordage once they pass the decent edible stage. I have to agree with the large number of posters, You are a good looking young lady, You will make some bushcrafter / survivalist a Great wife. Keep the video's comming They are EXTREMELY informative and well done. It's refreshing to see a person, like yourself, giving the facts and not coloring them with any personal belief's. I will pass your site on to others
The world needs more people like you. It doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl; this is useful information and you're full of very useful skills. It's a shame that it's not appreciated more than it is these days.
@pedoberries98661 yea out here they grow wild by the thousands so there's no need to plant them but they take very easily. All you really need to do is toss the seeds into the wind over a patch of land and they'll be everywhere before you know it.
@uoffendme Yeah me too. But I replaced the in-handle-content with my own concoction. Nice knife and HARD as all get out. I tried to grind one of them down to a smaller blade to fit a smaller sheath. And WOW! It took some serious high speed grinding. Had to burn through it. By the way LADIES. You are a breath of fresh air to all men who have thought that women like you 'no longer exist'. You are a gift of God. Keep on being strong/feminine women who are not afraid to get your hands dirty. Love ya

I first leaned that these were edible from my father, who called them by the cajun french word, "couston". However, I did not know that the leaves, flowers and roots were edible. Thanks for that information.
Might I suggest doing a video on wild musrooms grown from willow trees?
@tedvicknair I am single and I am afraid to do a mushroom video because it is so easy to mistake a poisonous shroom for an edible one. I don't like to encourage novice to play with mushrooms. They are just too dangerous.
@MayeuxMinistries Thank you for the informational posting’s I enjoy them very much please keep them coming. P.S my brother thinks that you are a very cute woman.
Great work Mayex :) My dad got told by a very nice person in a little village to use it to heal his huge black ulcer on his lower back, near kidneys...it was gone in 4-5 days..amazing stuff..doctor was amazed too ;~)
@MayeuxMinistries Hi sorry for late reply. He used the leaves and mashed it on wood with wood inside a cloth. No knife or metal. Not sure how often and how much. It was a size of a £1 coin and he covered it with 5x5 inch cloth and bandaged it. I have to ask if once or multiple times. Will post later!
I just found your site today this is the second clip I've watched. And just got to say I absolutely loved seeing a herbalist,organic type hippy chick pull that "Arkansas toothpick" out of that sheath. Truly a realist life perspective "better to have & not need than need & not have"
Something tells me your dad really wanted a son. He talked you two into digging up weeds on Youtube. LOL. But at least I now know the name of the prickly weed that grows outside my bedroom window.
Milk thistle is definitely good for the liver. I take it every day in capsule form. Milk Thistle in combination with Flax Seed oil and vitamin C is about the best things for your liver.
@Flyonthewall357 They are 2 very different plants. Nettle is much smaller and is covered with hair like fibers that sting and burn your skin. Thisle is more akin to a cactus with sharp spins that stick you but don't sting.
It's probably is a thistle. Check my video titled "Edible and Medicinal Uses for Thistle" to see what these look like when they are younger and smaller. There are many different types of thistle so it could be a different verity but to me, it sounds like a young Bull Thistle.
There is another kind of plant that looks like this but does not have a huge stalk or flower. It grows close the ground, but has leaves that are very close to the thistles in your video. It may even be the same plant but at a different stage. The roots taste like celery but look like small white carrots. Do you know this other plant and what it's called? We called it a sticker bush but I doubt it's the real name.
You are amazing! And most interesting! Wish I new you.
