  • 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.

  • 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.

  • its a bluegill

  • @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.

  • that sir, is a barracuda....

  • in georgia we called them sunfish or brim

  • 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!
