I think you better take a better camera,

the picture is not clear...you can't see what you are showing.

@18Maart1915Gallipoli sorry, that was my very first YT video ever, taken in 2007

[ARXHMalakas]

-GO!

-"umm " this is hemlock... i'm stupid and just ate some so i'm gonna die live on camera like socrates.

[survivethewild]

Umm - that actually is hemlock.

Sorry I'm not Bear Gryls on camera.

Good video. My only complaint is that the plants are not photographed closely enough. There is no way I would recommend this video to someone who has never eaten something in the woods before. When you said "here is what you're looking for" all we saw was a green blur against your hand. Hardly useful. Macro lens would be very helpful.

Other than that, good stuff.

@survivethewild Hey just a thought. Is it possible to remake this vid with your new camera? I love the vids but it is blurry. Keep em coming though and don't stop!

Good work bro,what i do for food/water,i take some edible plants,water,and some treeroot,i put the water in the tree~~,then make a fire and cook the water,and make tea with the plants,

For the acorns; better to soak overnight ( I prefer to change water at least once) to leech out the tannic acid, dry roast and eat or better yet, add to other wild edibles.

Eastern Hemlock is a tree,these Herbs are not in the fern family; Bulbiferous Water & Spotted Water Hemlock

Bracken fern(very large leafs 20-90cm wide & tall)which is 3 parted has poisonous fiddleheads & should be careful not to confuse with Rattlesnake & Oak fern.Just don't eat if leaves are in 3

Too much of Sensitive fern can lead to irritability of the digestive track.

Compare the rhizome as in the Wild Parsnip it will look like a carrot.

For Water & Spotted will be hollow maze of chambers.

Hemlock is closely related to ferns? Last time I checked ferns weren't even a seed plant plant like hemlock That said, hemlock is often mistaken for wild carrot or parsnip; which it actually does look like and is related to (family Apiaceae). If you mistake hemlock for a fern, that's natural selection. Read up and study before eating newbs.
