@1776SonofLiberty I have recently discovered that many poisonous invasive species of weeds are actually quite delicious and healthy More income to come on this subject.
@michaelratliff22 That School Bus is in perfect running condition. It is outfitted with a full bath and kitchen, but the tires are over 30 years old and ready to blow out at any time. The plan was to travel the country in it but with 6 tires at 400 bucks a tire. Oh Well.
Great thoughts! Acorns are tasty. Sweet potatoes are native to North Carolina coast. Jerusalem Artichokes are native to eastern US and can be a substituent for potatoes. A lot of native foods have been lost due to deforestation, like paw paw, mayhaw tree, and persimmons. A lot of nut trees in the east have also been lost like the chestnut. We can replant these natives.
@dhenion1 I have really been ramping up on food plant experiments. I have always thought that non agricultural type food plants were important. But.... I keep hearing over and over from the patriot combatant guys that they can use their guns to take my food. So my priority now is to make my food not look like food.
@whittle4u Prior to the flood Antarctica was actualy a temperate rain forest. Scientist can't dispute it since they are all the time finding trees and such under the ice. But they do the next best thing and blame it on an Ice Age. Every culture on the face of the earth has a flood story in their history. I ain't never heard of any culture telling stories about any kind of ice age.
Thanx. I didn't know you could eat cats tails. I don't see much of them around here anymore, yet I do know a place where they grow undisturbed. I'd like to say something about the oak trees: At one time we had many many oaks and a healthy deer population. Then came the gypsy moth and now most of the oaks are dead. The department of agriculture waited until three years before they did anything about it.
@TurbotortoiseStickle Every policy, law, or environmental act that the Empire creates is designed to bring about the destruction of the earth. You will never see any action taken to actually rescues a species of living thing. But those responsible for this are on their way out. Their Days Are Numbered.
@SustenanceNCovering I agree with you. Their goal is to make us dependant on their food which is killing us as a species. Don't listen to the statistics posted on the internet or a book printed before 1972. They have reprinted so much information to make what is happening now seem normal. You and I are old enough to remember, and thus their enemy. When we were children to odds of us knowing a child with Asthma or Lukinia were less then ten million to one. Now what are those odds?
@TurbotortoiseStickle An international board of health recently announced that according to the most recent statistics The US has one of the lowest life expectancies on the planet. We are number 40 of all of the modern industrializded nations. The day after the announcement was made John Bohner made his famous acceptance speech where he called the US healthcare system the greatest in the world.
@SustenanceNCovering I have to agree with Bohner on that one if you are in the top 20% income bracket or a public figure. I know a lot about this subject, it's the reason why I'm dying. Between coroporate hospital groups, insurance companies, non-medical professionals dictating healthcare, and medical professionals who simply have no business in the field topped off with a president who works for the insurance industry, us 80%ers (LOL) are better off going to the vetinarian if we need a doctor.
@TurbotortoiseStickle A frind of mine says that we would be better off going to the middle of the jungle and seeking out the assistance of a witch doctor. Sorry to hear that you are dying. If you can just hang in there a few more years you will be able to watch this whole deception based system get destroyed permanently.
@SustenanceNCovering Don't be sorry about it. The accountant who decided the survivalability vs cost effectiveness should be sorry. What's he going to say when the SHTF? He'll have gold and I'll have food and medical supplies. Can't eat gold.
@TurbotortoiseStickle It always amazes me what lengths people will go to to aquire even the smallest amount of gold or money. If you tell someone that you will give them a few bucks to deny sick people their meds or dissability compensation. They will gladly do it. Then after they sell their souls they take the profits from it and blow it on some stupid party, or uneccessary luxury items. Gonna be quite entertaining watching them squirm when the calorie pump stops.
Mcdonalds...dont grow natually...LOL Anyway thank you for the Great Vid man...I just subbed to your chanel and I am enjoing your lessons..Thank you so much
@4clockfarms I'm working so hard to get stuff growing that I don't have to replant water or care for in any way. I am planting 15 giant elephant ears tomorrow. I never ate one before, but I heard that if you boil em you can eat em. Every time that walmart restocks them I buy all they got.
Hey Sust...do you know anything about horsemanship? I figure, when/if SHTF, maybe we'll have to re-familiarize ourselves with the equine as a society...what do you think about that?
@JennJenification I know nothing at all about horsemanship. I just figure that after SHTF whatever lifestyle develops will figure all that out. For right now I do know that a horse will eat more food (money) than a regiment of marines. Even folks with hundreds of acres of property have to spend tons of cash on horse chow, shelter, and vet bills.
You delivered good information, but it took you forever to get there. Much of the video was dedicated to telling us we've been lied to, and the world as we know it is coming to a swift end. You could have spent the entire >9 min discussing common plants that make good food, or discussing the many benefits of a single plant, and delivered so much more.
Good stuff. You need to include handbasket maintance and how to fix handbasket gps and turn it off before the fires of hell burn it up! (My political rant is over.) I think your channel is very good and your very humorous. Keep up the great work and we hope to see more of your videos in the future! :)
@bellezzateam You're welcome. Hopefully in a couple of years I'll be able to harvest enough food from the natural environment to actually live out here without going into town for groceries. I'll make a vid about it if I ever get there.
@matthewetchie Just remember this. The Department of Agriculture list over 1500 poisonous plants, when in fact there are really only about 12 in North America, and probably only about 3 within walking distance of where you live. Most of the poisonous plants listed only give you gas, and even then they don't give you as much gas as red beans will give you. Just avoid mushrooms and you can nearly eat anything that you see.
Ok dude, 5 mins into this and you haven't taught me anything about survival food, you've only made political statements. I'd rather you have spent some time already telling me how to survive having assumed it a foregone conclusion that I came to a vid with such a title because I already know the state of affairs with our governments.
found out my whole property has wild strawberries all over it....guess what i'm gonna be planting.....along with hazelnut, oak and cherry trees......hope all is well! oh and cattails....are all over!!!!
@nadinesnoopy Good deal.The strawberry plant that I planted in my wild ones is doing great. Don't know about how it fruits. As soon as a little green strawberry shows up the chickens inhale it. If there are a bunch of new plants there next season I'll go out and buy a bunch more to add to it. As far as cattails go the parts that I have eaten are delicious, and I read an article that cattail pollen produces more flour per acre than wheat. And no milling required.
@runwiththewild I stand corrected. BTW I think that I found some duck potatos yesterday and am planning another walk into the woods to see if I can relocate them soon.
I heard a man once say that one acre of forest could support 7 people. I've been around the world several times but have never seen a forest. I don't know if there really are any left, but to me that sounds reasonable. Where I live the canopy is between 10 and 80 feet. When my great grandfather came here to cut down trees for the Panama Canal project the canopy was between 100 and 200 feet. Those who lived here before Columbus could collect a days supply of food in just a few minutes.
I have heard that they have made it or are getting ready to make it illegal to go into all caves on government land. I thought the government owns no land but rather it is the peoples land or what we call public lands. Any way, looks like that's one option for shelter that is now off the table. Great video!
@62636263c It's hard to believe that the people who make up arbitrary laws get paid the big bucks, while the people who make food hardly get paid anything at all.
thank you for making your vids, after watching your vid i checked out food forest permaculture, thank you i want to learn more . I did not know ppl could eat acorns.
@NOH8888 Even though the story of the first thanksgiving is a totaly fabrication, there were many instances where Indians rescued colonies of Europeans by bringing them accorns. I hear that out west the accorns are so sweet that you can just eat them off of the ground, but in my neck of the woods they are so bitter that you really have to work them before you can eat them.
@SustenanceNCovering i didnt say you were an actor..... i said you were the coolest most awesomest guy with a beard and a funny accent and that i subscribed to you..... i dont see how that implies that your an actor??? lol ur rants are amusing as well lol i do believe that everyone should know how to take care of themselves w/o "civilization" after all look @ what happened in japan as my role model said we have become strangers to our home or something like that
@Lovable0ak I am not an actor, I just play one on TV is one of my standard replies to a lot of things. It will show up repeatedly if you keep watching my videos. I am constantly testing the boundaries of catch phrases. Do not be suprised if you end up getting the standard replies of "Love Ya", or "If you don't want to survive don't listen to me" or etc. etc.
great video SnC! lucky for me I love dandelions, there are no shortage of them where I live. I'm down with squirrel meat, but as much as I try to like acorns....I'll eat them, but I don't have to like them
I am lucky to have grown up in the country. As for the acorns they have to be prepped before cooking. Once the shells are gone they need to be ground and then placed in a source of running water like a stream and left for a day. Once that is done time to cook. My great granpa used to trap and learned a few things from him. Steel foot traps are great for taking care of looters, under the window at the wall inside.
@MrKillswitch88 I have been having some of them foot hold traps for years. Just never could bring myself to use them. But I have to admit that once I catch an animal he is not long for the earth anyway and they look really scared when they are in those traps. If I wasn't so addicted to meat I wouldn't even kill anything but eggs and oysters. I hear that out west the accorns are so sweet that you don't have to do anything but put them in your mouth. Don't know if that is true or not.
I am not sure of that, I will have to look it up to see if they can be eaten without prep. I know that some at the least contain a toxin that can be leached out in a running stream or river to be made edible. Grew up on a farm so I learned a few things. Ever tried cactus fruit? If you haven't you are in for a few surprises.
There you go :) that is the way to more or less remove the toxins. As for cactus fruit great taste but hate the woody seeds. As for the leaves it is like every thing else one will have to get used to eating them.
Excellent points. I believe we need to learn long term sustainability principles. You are on the right track - TEOTWAWKI seems to keep getting closer and closer. Our society and world is in a fragile state. We need to be prepared.
@PatriotPrepper I'm way to lazy to dedicate my life to trying to make people plants and animals do things that they don't want to do. In my yard I just let the plants and animals do what they want and then try to figure out how I can benefit from it.
@rooftopeagle I am uploading a video right now that is closely related to this one that you really need to see. "Plant What You Want vs Plant What Wants to Be Planted"
@3152222 I have thought about gettin' some many times just for that reason, but in the winter it is sooooo ugly. Oh and I'm already pushing it by keeping chickens. If I planted kudzu my neighbors would be over here with torches and pitchforks pretty quick.
@3152222 You should check out my video about the best books for edible wild plants. LOL . You can look at the vid by checking out the tab that says uploads. I think that I called it Book Review or something like that. and I do mention that petersons is the best.
@3152222 That's fine, but please don't send any money, I don't have an official preacher certificat from the Federal Government. I would hate to go to jail for some kind of tax law. Especially since money ain't worth anything any more.
I just found your channel from southern prepper. You show what we call ruthless honesty. It is far to late in the day to sugar coat anything. I am going to favorite your channel Thank you for your work.
@camokbear1 I think living off of the forrest is simple, and fun. But, I can't prove my theory for at least another thousand years, and that's only if people stop cutting down the forrest.
@SustenanceNCovering Doh! Sorry about that. I guess I didnt look closely enough. Nice videos, btw. Ive been listening to them as Ive been bagging dehydrated onions. Ive gotta say thanks to you guys that shuttled us around the globe! Semper Fi!
@thedoctorisin24380 We didn't have anything like semper fi. I think our motto was something like "bend over here it comes again" The Navy, gotta love it.
@Dorisequador Kodak EasyShare Z1485 IS...... HOWEVER! I think that it has been replaced by something a little better and cheaper. You are given options as to the size of the picture. When the picture is important to me I set it to 640x480. At this size a 10 minute video takes me about 3 hours to upload.
Excellent and so right on! (And I love the sarcastic, wry wit.) I'm about to gather acorns & do a little experimenting. I see you're in the southeast. Do you have any recommendations for good foraging websites? Have you ever heard of the Piedmont Almanac? It has some interesting info. Thanks for having this channel!
@wrenbrrd My favorite foraging youtube channel is eattheweeds. The guy who owns the channel, Green Dean is in southern Florida, so the closer that you are to him the better the information will be for you. However he does do what he can to make videos that cover a large area. I just favorited his most recent video. You may be able to find the mellons he is talking about right now as they are still abundant by me. Don't eat the green ones they taste like really bitter cucumbers.
@wrenbrrd As long as you are in the Eastern US Eattheweeds will work for you. Most changes in plants come when you cross over to the Western US. Completely different over there.
I love YouTube bigscreen TV and my Xbox and without all these goodies i don't wanna live like a wild aninimal surviving I rather be blowen up one shot and fuck it.
@wrenbrrd Never heard of the Piedmont Almanac, but looked it up and put a shortcut on my desktop. I'll take a closer look at it later tonight. It sounds a lot like Walden.
Great video. An area of prepping/surviving i hadn't thought about. I guess you could call it "food for thought". Ok...I know that was bad

There you go :) that is the way to more or less remove the toxins. As for cactus fruit great taste but hate the woody seeds. As for the leaves it is like every thing else one will have to get used to eating them.

Excellent points. I believe we need to learn long term sustainability principles. You are on the right track - TEOTWAWKI seems to keep getting closer and closer. Our society and world is in a fragile state. We need to be prepared.
KEEP ON PREPPING

@PatriotPrepper I'm way to lazy to dedicate my life to trying to make people plants and animals do things that they don't want to do. In my yard I just let the plants and animals do what they want and then try to figure out how I can benefit from it.

SustenanceNCovering you can eat kudzu

@3152222 I have thought about gettin' some many times just for that reason, but in the winter it is sooooo ugly. Oh and I'm already pushing it by keeping chickens. If I planted kudzu my neighbors would be over here with torches and pitchforks pretty quick.

@SustenanceNCovering ok but i think you should check out the edible plants and the medicinal plants book by the Peterson field guides.
3152222 1 year ago
@3152222 You should check out my video about the best books for edible wild plants. LOL . You can look at the vid by checking out the tab that says uploads. I think that I called it Book Review or something like that. and I do mention that petersons is the best.

@3152222 That's fine, but please don't send any money, I don't have an official preacher certificat from the Federal Government. I would hate to go to jail for some kind of tax law. Especially since money ain't worth anything any more.

I just found your channel from southern prepper. You show what we call ruthless honesty. It is far to late in the day to sugar coat anything. I am going to favorite your channel Thank you for your work.

@camokbear1 I think living off of the forrest is simple, and fun. But, I can't prove my theory for at least another thousand years, and that's only if people stop cutting down the forrest.

@Dorisequador Kodak EasyShare Z1485 IS...... HOWEVER! I think that it has been replaced by something a little better and cheaper. You are given options as to the size of the picture. When the picture is important to me I set it to 640x480. At this size a 10 minute video takes me about 3 hours to upload.

Excellent and so right on! (And I love the sarcastic, wry wit.) I'm about to gather acorns & do a little experimenting. I see you're in the southeast. Do you have any recommendations for good foraging websites? Have you ever heard of the Piedmont Almanac? It has some interesting info. Thanks for having this channel!
wrenbrrd 1 year ago
@wrenbrrd My favorite foraging youtube channel is eattheweeds. The guy who owns the channel, Green Dean is in southern Florida, so the closer that you are to him the better the information will be for you. However he does do what he can to make videos that cover a large area. I just favorited his most recent video. You may be able to find the mellons he is talking about right now as they are still abundant by me. Don't eat the green ones they taste like really bitter cucumbers.

@SustenanceNCovering Thanks so much! I live in the Piedmont of NC, but I'll take all the hints I can get.

@wrenbrrd As long as you are in the Eastern US Eattheweeds will work for you. Most changes in plants come when you cross over to the Western US. Completely different over there.

@wrenbrrd Never heard of the Piedmont Almanac, but looked it up and put a shortcut on my desktop. I'll take a closer look at it later tonight. It sounds a lot like Walden.
