I think the idea is to preserve the skill itself, not to suggest that it has a practical application in Maine itself. I had the same initial reaction as you did, but to the "fire plow" method. If I have to use a desert plant, what good is it to me in Wisconsin?
But you figure this is a PRIMITIVE SKILLS class, not a MAINE SURVIVAL class, and then it make more sense.

Oh man, freeze the frame right at 3:47 and see if that doesn't look hilarious to you...

check out stephen harrod buhner's book: healing lyme. it's a wealth of information about lyme's disease and includes notes on knotweed. plus, he's a fascinating guy and a great writer!
-
I have eaten the young shoots raw , just a bit sour. not too bad ..never heard that it could treat/prevent lymes disease . Thats something I'll look into .
-
but the roots are potently anti-lyme disease, and would like you to dig them up and use them to treat/prevent lyme while simultaneously preventing knotweed from choking out all of our native vegetation. go forth, and tincture!

what kind of knife do you use
landroamer1000 1 year ago
@landroamer1000 The knofe in the videos is one we designed about four years ago. It was a full tang drop point with a saw modeled after the chain saw dimensions found on a husquervana or jonesered. Nothing against sthil, I run both, but the interchangeability of the jonsered/husky means there are more chances of finding a file to sharpen the saw with.

Japanese Knotweed Is like mini bamboo
It is invasive to new england , but there is alot of it about. It might work with this technique. maybe birch bark too.?

Japanese Knotweed is too herbaceous. It does not convert it's sugars in to the thick woodlike carbon rings that true bamboo does. Any attempt to use it in fire making with friction causes it to shatter.
