Good information - thanks. In the upper midwest some giant - 10 to 12foot - nettles grow especially well along the flood plains of our large rivers. It is good to know of their uses - not just pain! stonenstrop

Very helpful stuff indeed, would've been more helpful a few hours ago, when I'm pretty sure I was on the same hill as he was. I betcha this is in that huge foresty hill area near Cardina Reservoir in Australia.

Great video! I have found stinging nettles and it's usage in every single herbal book I own! About broken bones, that's good information. Just wondering about boneset, has it fallen out of favor for bone injuries?

I don't understand how he's handling the stinging nettle with bare hands, apparantly without stinging and pain.

If one barely brushes my skin, it leaves a painful rash.
