[gaiagale]

thanks for sharing

[alexv777]

whats a good book to see wheather a plant or tree is edible? thanks

[ClarizardtheWizard]

you're awesome! teach the knowledge, i luv ur hat!

[loconut1]

that is ot poison ivy.......

[201029art]

Did he get poison ivy on his leg? He can't stop scratching!

[logcabin1999]

The tree is not poison ivy. It's box elder. The five leaf plant is virginia creeper, not poison oak. Poison oak looks similar to the white oak leaf.

[clemchady]

Dude that's virginia creeper not poison oak, look it up, and the first one the tree thats poison oak

[Buteojama]

Poison Ivy tree?, Sounds like Box elder, look it up

[HedgeTV]

Uh...I did. It's poison ivy...it's jus really really huge cuz it's really old or somethin.

[luckyfire3]

why did the city make u mow, the back yard?

[HedgeTV]

I spose they thought it made the place look ugly.

[punkrocklives13]

@HedgeTV whens the next one



[Klippencott]

Good video but poison oak is like ivy "leaves of 3"

[HedgeTV]

Okay.

[Neteru797]

are strawberry leaves and stems edible?

[HedgeTV]

I dunno. I'll eat some, an let you know if it's nasty. If I don't let you know, it means it's either good, or else it's poison an I died.

[scarykittens]

I like to take the dandelion flower,run it under some water to wash off,the dip in egg and flour,and fry.Tastes alot like morel mushrooms.

[HedgeTV]

Okay, gotta try that.

[scarykittens]

Let me know if you like them.I just got done making pine needle tea with sum honey n it was really good.I`ve heard if your pregnant DO NOT EAT,the needles or DRINK the tea.They say it can cause a misscariage??But for anyone else they are very good for you.

[irishcowgirl77]

I've encountered a poison ivy "tree" also. It looked like poison ivy, but it was so big, that I couldn't imagine that it was actually poison ivy. Needless to say, I had a rash for a week.

[gands1102]

That was not poison ivy it was a young boxelder tree. The leaves are very similar. Good video though.

[HedgeTV]

Eh...must've been the lighting.

[kevporteretna1]

The dandelion root can be used for a subsitute for coffee.

[HedgeTV]

Yeh, that's true...but I've never done it.

[Shadowslamer]

Do you know of any plants I can eat in Florida?

[HedgeTV]

Well, no...not real familiar with what you've got...I'd get a field guide for yer area.

[spartencamp]

ya look up eattheweeds here on youtube its all about florida.

[HedgeTV]

Hey, thanx for the info!

[acdcnirvana9]

[thetimeforfame]

[ricky0604fh]

im very interested in hiking, primitive survival etc.

[HedgeTV]

Check out the Peterson's Field Guide for yer area!

[SamRunner1]

What you said was poison oak, was not poison oak, it was VIRGINIA CREEPER. Other than that discrepancy, you did a very good job brother.

-Sam

[SuperNinja8000]

Trust me... I found that out the best way posstly. Look over to my left 3 leaves, Red spot. I freaked out I was in a flood plain also. then I did some reseathe and found that out.

[RawbertDestruct]

This video inspired me too pick up a book about edible wild plants. Also started planting aswell. In germinating stage of seeds.

[HedgeTV]

Cool, man. Yeh, we're planting too.

[sike0ziglar]

Hiking books= good  sandals= bad.

[HedgeTV]

[GoddessKrystina]

Cool stuff, Hedge. I'm Pagan and I use a lot of plants in my rituals. Looking forward to part 2!

[HedgeTV]

Cool, thanx!

[Ebbiesmom]

I had a great uncle, who actually made a pair of wooden lamps out of a poison oak or ivy tree.

He was always making things out of wood he found on his property or cut down on it.

[HedgeTV]

Outa poison ivy!?! Now thas jus nasty.

[Ebbiesmom]

no, it was a tree about I would say 10 inche diameter, he took all the bark off, b\put it on a lathe and turned it and made it all smothe and clear coated it, actually very pretty wood. I wish I had a picture of them.

[flamingwolfskull]

Hey man can you give me a list of the Field Guides you have?

[HedgeTV]

Uh, yeh...give me some time on that an I'll PM you.

[DemolitionGrrl]

Ah, two of my favorite activities! Watching videos and eating stuff! And augh!!! Mulberries drive. me. NUTS!

[HedgeTV]

Nuts? Good nuts or bad nuts? I love em.

[DemolitionGrrl]

Bad nuts, they taste alright but they dye everything blackish-purple. I like nuts too. o.o

[HedgeTV]

Oh well, I love em.

[DemolitionGrrl]

Nuts or berries? I like both. :D

[HedgeTV]

Yeh, me too...but if I gotta choose, I'd say berries!

[riotsound]

okay..hedge..completely disregard the part of my comment about if there are mulberry trees where you are. i should really stop commenting videos while they are playing, and wait till the end.

my bad

[HedgeTV]

Ha!

[riotsound]

hey, this is pretty cool man. i like this one.

where i live, there's a ton of mulberry trees, you got any over there? cuz they are quite tasty

[HedgeTV]

Well, I jus found that one mulberry tree, an I know of a few others in the area...I LOVE mulberries, thas my favourite berry.

[ElFuzzyFilms]

lol i live in a heavily forested area so i got ALOT of poisonous plants (as well as snakes)

[HedgeTV]

Yeh, thas cool, tho.

[ElFuzzyFilms]

and a lil creepy

[LOKI2759]

nice vid hedge, thats helpful

[HedgeTV]

Hey, glad you liked it...I had hoped I would find more to show, tho.

[lusefer]

i dident know sluges ate straberrys

[HedgeTV]

Oh yeh, snails an slugs love em.

[HedgeTV]

Turtles too!

[Luminasita]

I haven't had wild strawberries in a long time. Don't think I could ever tell the difference anyway, save it was just neat to eat the wild ones.

~Kat

[HedgeTV]

Wild ones are great, I know a place at work where they're HUGE an juicy, but I dare not eat them cuz they grow all around the waste water plant.

[timmie124]

that sucks that the city made you cut most of it down you should of done somthing agianst it

[HedgeTV]

Really couldn't do much against it...but I didn't even try. I still mow it less than the rest of the place, but it's gotta not make the neighbourhood look bad.

[dinoboss]

cool necklace hedge.

[HedgeTV]

Hey, thanx.

[cabushcrafter]

dandelion leaves taste like shit not cooked

[HedgeTV]

Yeh, depends on how often you eat them, I guess. They were a staple of my diet for a while, an I got rather used to them...but cooked, with wild onion, they're delicious!

[samsland22]

wow you look like Indiana Jones in this epesode

[HedgeTV]

Ha! Thas pretty cool, I guess...Indy kicks ass.

[Espio666]

wow damn i didnt even know what poison Ivy looked like. I should be more careful running through bushes lol.

[HedgeTV]

Man, I learned poison ivy early! We've been mortal enemies for over 30 years!

[acdcnirvana9]

ahh i lovebeing imune to poisen ivy, i've fallen right in a patch and not a mark on me
