  • I enjoy your videos fellow Floridian, you remind me of Tom Bombadil.

  • @BlackMetalGamer That's the first time I've been compared to a Hobbit.

  • It would be interesting to see if it actually repels fleas. Thanks for sharing!

  • @MiWilderness I don't have any fleas!

  • I recently watched a video done by a weed scientist in which the allelopathy of horsetail was exhibited. I'll try to find it if you're interested.

    It's one of the weeds that has developed resistance to more than one herbicide.

  • @aredditor Sure, many plants are that way.

  • @EatTheWeeds Saw the comment and had to wiki Tom Bombadil, read the books so long ago I forgot who he was. He's neither a hobbit or a man - more of a semi mystical, semi detached forest-dwelling being at one with & delighting in nature, etc.

  • Great video! I like that you've added additional uses besides food. I have found prickly lettuce, sunflower, mullein, giant ragweed, yucca and seep willow to all be great materials for hand drill (and bow drill) spindles (for friction fire) here in Dallas, Texas (...well, seep willow isn't local). I hope to give horseweed a try soon. Thanks for helping me identify it:)

  • @otakop67 really? let me take this one dean... try useing them green, then try when there dried, then decide which you like more. cheers!

  • your helping people prepare for life with out big government, i love you, because the day will come. perhaps not in my life, but i will pass on the knowledge to my children and tell them about a man named dean who gave without taking. thank you.
