I never heard them called possum grapes. Here in NW south carolina they are called muscadines or scuppernongs. Good video.

You near Woodville? I've gone hog hunting near Woodville. LOTS of potential food out there.

I used to catch those in our catfish pond in Arkansas. I believe they're called brim. I've never eaten one though.

I didn't know Lindsey Grahm lived in Texas.

@survivalistboards With all due respect, that's incorrect and people have become extremely sick and even died from that old wives tale. Micro-organisms occur EVERYWHERE, no just from people. from bacteria to worms/parasites. You do not need people anywhere around for them. Second, chemicals are the biggest problem US water, even far from cities; run-off,sprays,evaporation, etc.

@survivalistboards I think you're better off just wiping off the berry on your shirt and eating it then washing it in anything but clean potable water.

Good video, survivalistboards. In the Southeast, as a kid, we just called them 'wild grapes' (as opposed to 'those fancy domesticated grapes' like in Grandpa's trellis). Musciedime wine is good, too!
Great vid but I have a qustion, if you get the berry from the vine and you wash it off in the stream/ pond thing wont the bacteria from the pond get on the berry and you eat that too? vs washing not washing it off? whats worse?

owned4thewin - that is a very good question and I do not have an answer. But I can tell you that I know the area where my kids and I were at, and there are no people living upstream from our location. A lot of diseases are caused by human waste and untreated sewage. And if you really wanted to get technical, anytime you go swimming in a lake or river, you expose yourself to all kinds of bacteria.

Hm that's true, thank you very much. :)

owned4thewin - and, which one is more unsafe, going swimming in a lake, pond or river and getting the water into your nose, mouth, ears and eyes. Or washing off a single berry and eating it? You should take into consideration certain factors that influence the types and amount of infection in the water.
But - all water should be considered unsafe to drink.
