the beach tree or silver birch are good for drinking in this manner. note that you can also drill or tap these trees in the early part of the year to get sap water. beach are good for the nuts and leaves, and birch is good for kindling the bark, pith bark and small twigs are good for brushing your teeth/ well done ray, much better than that idiot bear.
So... seeing as the eucalyptus bush is pretty rare in the rest of the world, how do you determine which plants will release the poisonous alkaloids and which wont?
Is it a case of some plants you should be aware of that will do it or is it a case of having to know the few plants that wont?
Also, does this problem arise with a solar still using plant materials?
Miles from nowhere no food or water time to drink my own pis........... Wait!!!! Ray Mears is here so we don't have to run around like an idiot and do stuff that will make us ill. Thanks Ray!
How do I know which trees to use for this though? dont want to poison myself either... LOL. Remember the movie "Into the Wild" after facing and surviving predators that could have ripped him apart... the guy died for eating a poisonous berry... hmmmm
hey thanks for mentioning that movie. i seen it a long time ago. but i couldnt remember the name of the movie i think ill watch it again tonite. great movie but it will make you think twice before you eat any wild edibeles.

I've read about this technique before, but don't recall ever hearing any mention of the alkaloids bit. Something to keep in mind, for sure.
