http://FreeHerbCourse.com In this last video in the series we head back to the cattail swamps to learn how cattails can be used in a variety of utilitarian ways. From baskets to insulation cattail has a lot to offer!
Excellent series ... thank you for sharing your knowledge! Definitely learned a tremendous amount - and the short segments were helpful in allowing me to 'mull over' and therefore better retain the various aspects of this wonder plant ;-).
If there is any thing I needed to Know about Cattails I have found my sites! As far as eating the "Tubbers" I find them to be the same as water crest. But maybe there is a difference in climate as im in Missouri?
Excellent production. Thanks ! - I learned a great deal.
Inner bark?, Huh? ... hmmm.
Wondering about bedding (mat and fluff), just to pad and insulate a sleeping spot (using a tarp or bivy sack, on top. I am wondering if the leaves would crackle and lose all their loft, once dry, and if the fluff should go under the leaves, or in layers, etc. ?? Also wondering how long such a bedding spot might last, given that bugs and rodents might "move in" with me ... raised bed-frame? ~boughs
Thank you. Wonderfully done. I really enjoyed this series. Please do more of these.

Use the leaves when green to weave baskets or mats and as they dry they tighten up making for a water tight bowl many times.
