If your looking for plant identification you should find a personal channel for that when understanding bushcraft you don't tend to identify every plant but you tend to get familiar with plants in a region but other wise we look for characteristics of plants that we can use to help us in the field I would recommend a book

There is hemlock and hogweed that looks very similar to these and can be dangerous

I agree, we do need to understand a variety of beneficial plants. Though hate to turn Coalcracker Bushcrafter into such a channel when so many other sources are available.

IMO, the leaves are the easiest way to identify the plant. One of the french names for yarrow is mille feuilles - thousand leaves. And if you look at a yarrow leaf closely it really does look like it is made up of a thousand smaller leaves. So as a rule of thumb, if you think you can count the number of 'little leaves' on a leaf, then it is not yarrow. And as around half the plants that at first glance look similar to yarrow are actually poisonous this is not a mistake you want to make.

YES YARROW MAKE ME THINK OF -MINIATURE FLOWERING TREE

Yes, the scientific name for yarrow is Achilles millifolium, I believe. Achilles was the ancient warrior who used yarrow as a blood stop. I find that it also helps to stop the pain of an unfortunate cut. Millifolium is, as you pointed out, a thousand folliage (leaves).

This repels bugs but attracts law enforcement LOL. New sub here, great video.

Thank you Dan. Love this type of content, please do more in the future!

As it pertains to yarrow, another benefit is the numbing effect of chewing the red, sometimes dark purple, roots. This can help with an achy tooth or canker sore out in the woods. Cheers.

Thank you for pointing out the differences with poison hemlock. Good safety tip.

I love this type of content! Herb lore is so important and this video was super well done Dan, I hope to see more! Yarrow is great for so many things the leaves for stopping bleeding the flowers and leaves as a tea are great to help with reducing fevers, sweating out toxins and helping with colds, infections, and coughs, and the roots have a mild analgesic pain relieving property that numbs tissue. I did not know about the mosquito thing though? That’s awesome! Great content as always!

Yarrow is super easy to propagate through cuttings, and attracts pollinators. great little garden edge flower!

@Tai Chi Tube Yarrow root is medicinal - chewing the root relieves toothache pain, and it has an anise-like flavor. The gophers seem to like eating the roots

First I would like to thank you for your service and keeping it real. I have spent most of my 56 years being outside from camping as a small kid with my grampa to riding a bicycle through 23 states. The more you know the less you need to carry. It's all about the TOOL bag, your videos just keep adding more. I believe that being outdoors is how we live a better life. Thanks for keeping me outside. Never Surrender!

Also good for breaking fevers and tooth pain.

And IDK about it's effects after drying but plantains are GREAT for cuts n scrapes!

I love watching these kind of videos.. So much useful info and knowledge I can put in my bank for later!! Thanks Dan!!

Thank you for this video, I had to pause it and google a side by side comparison of all 3 - very interesting and informative!!!

Awesome! Please do more videos on medicinal and edible wild plants

As a South Floridian living near the Florida Everglades, I most appreciate the mosquito repellent and can’t wait to try it.

Thank You, Loved this one.... more like this please Thanks...

That's so cool, I'll try it if I see some Yarrow. Definitely would love to see more videos like this about uses for plants. Keep up the great work.

Hi from Syracuse NY USA brother and thank you for sharing your adventures and wood lore

Would love to see more vids on using plants like this. I recently learned about making and using tinctures of Indian pipe and it works amazingly well.

Yarrow is very plentiful in our area, I remember my dad and me just crushing it on our skin while on hunts to keep the bugs away.

The hemlock that you are talking about is actually the water hemlock. If you digest the water hemlock you would wish that it was poison hemlock. I watched a very interesting video on KZread lately entitled, " The Most poisonous plant in North America."

See finally more into foraging! I'm telling ya we'd like a lot more foraging, any like this is great but edibles good sir edibles plz

always cool what nature provides!

Besides for helping to stop the bleeding in your cut, it is also an antibacterial, and it helps promote the growth of new skin cells to help it heal faster. Yarrow is an amazing plant! Many, many good things it does. I would encourage everyone to do more checking into it.

I'm glad to see you made a video about yarrow. I mentioned it under another of your videos.

I use yarrow to stop bleeding. We have bergamot (wild bee balm) growing here so infuse that, along with a few other natives, in witch hazel, to make my repellant. I allow it to infuse for 6 weeks. I find it works better than yarrow alone.

A mnemonic to help identify Queen Anne's Lace- "The 'Queen' has hairy legs. Thank you for the great vid!

From one Danny to another, nice submit

Love these videos using wild plants for natural solutions. Thank you!

Loved this video, Dan. Fantastic content.

Nice to see a little natural medicine on the channel.

As always, good, useful information. Thanks for continuing to educate us.

Yarrow is also good for fighting fevers. Use it in tea form.

Nice one I'll have to try that repellant tincture

A few years ago I was spending a bunch of time near the Mississippi River Mid summer. The insects were in season and nothing I tried would stop them. Then someone recommended I use vanilla extract. As I was pretty desperate by this time I gave it a shot. It was freaking magic. The only thing that helped. Darn near negated the problem. No insecticide all over me, no smelling of insecticide and no mosquito bites. It was just about perfect. I know it sounds silly, but you may want to give it a shot.

Very good information Dan. Thanks and take care.

This is great! I've used yarrow as a wound-healer. I didn't know the tincture is good as a mosquito repellent. Awesome.

Brother, I love the METAL intro

Love this! Thank very much Dan!

This info is outstanding Dan. Thank you.

Thank you 👍. I now have an answer the next time I come to a DUI checkpoint ….. Honestly officer, I wasn’t drinking & driving. The alcohol you smell on me is mosquito repellent! 😉

Queen Anne has hairy legs (stems) and wears a skirt (the green leaves at the bottom of the flower head). Yarrow also has hairy legs, but if you look closely, the stems of the little flowers that comprise the compound flowerhead do not all originate from the same place. It's not a true umbel. Queen Anne's lace and the various hemlocks (poison hemlock, water hemlock...) are all members of the umbelliferae / apiaceae / carrot family. There are dangerous members, and edible / medicinal members. For Yarrow, follow the identifying clues given here by Dan, and also notice the stem structure of the flowerheads (you can pause the video and spot what I mean): The umbels (Queen Anne, Hemlock if he had one) have flowerheads whose stems all originate and branch out from the same spot on the mainstem. Yarrow is not a true umbel, and does not follow this pattern. The stems of the flowerheads do NOT all originate from the same place on the mainstem. They have more of an antler-like growth pattern. It's an additional identifying detail to those mentioned.

Thank you for this great and very helpful video! Many Blessings!

Great video Dan. Thx

Poisons ID. would be a great idea for a video . Thanks Dan

Thanks Dan!

Welp, looks like I'm going to be wading through all the Queen Anne's Lace trying to find actual Yarrow again. Thanks, Dan.

Dan, your the best ....

Dan this was nicely done. Great info. Got anymore like that?

A fun little saying to help identify Queen Anne's Lace: "The Queen has hairy legs"...referring to the little hairs on the stalk.

Hallelujah !! Thanks for a very beneficial bit if woodcraft. Cheers.

Harris tea is a good anti-inflammatory and blood pressure med that also stabilizes blood sugar. The powder does more than coagulate blood it is also has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect on wounds .

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing Dan. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

Excellent information man. Thank you 👍

Makes a nice addition to tea and interesting taste. It's good for digestion, immunity and mood 😎

Awesome would to see more Bush carft remides

I hope to see more videos like this

great vid! love learning about plants

Awesome video Dan. Could you please do some more videos on identifying useful plants and their uses. Thanks man.

Queen Anne's Lace also has a dark reddish flower in the middle of the cluster most all the time, and when dry the cluster rolls inward into a "bird nest" shape.

Thanks for the great video , very informative and useful

Great info, I never would have known. Thank You 👍

Excellent information. Thanks.

Great tips!

Great advice, thanks. Always appreciate

Great video and tips! Thanks

What what really I have so much mad from last year this is awesome! Thanks for sharing this because I would of never known.

I knew there was lots of great uses for yarrow but the bug spray is new, thank you!

WOW it's very cool, thank for the tips........great video...

Wish I could like this video twice!

This was a very informative and interesting video.

A lovely patch of plantain treats bites and stings

Historically, yarrow was also one of several plants used in brewing for the same purpose as hops. Like hops, yarrow has anti-microbial properties, and, since the alcohol content of beers and ales is typically too low to inhibit bacterial growth over time, was used like hops to keep the brew from spoiling. Unlike hops, however, yarrow is not high in estrogen. In the 16th century when the peasants in Bavaria were growing rebellious, a Duke noticed that those who lived in areas where hops were used predominantly in the brewing process were more docile than those whose braumeisters used another agent, such as yarrow. So he decreed that all brewers must use hops. So your yarrow poultice will not only help control bleeding, but also fight infection. and maybe the tincture (or yarrow tea) will increase the mass of your cojomes.

i used yarrow on a cut last week. It stopped the bleeding quickly and I believe I healed much more quickly than usual.

Thank you

loved the video thanks for sharing the wisdom! got yarrow just outside the house, gonna give it a shot!

Thanks Dan! Great information.

Great video! I didn't know it could make a mosquito repellent.Thank you!

Oh yes, more of this!

Dan, thanks for the information. Going to use it.

Great stuff man!!

I'm a walking mosquito meal, so I'll be putting that tincture to the test. video saved for feedback next year.

Plants!

Freaking love this. Great job!

It is such an awesome plant. I made a tincture. Posion hemlock almost has the same flower but leaves are not alike at all very easy to pick out. And I have tested this on my self heals infections nicely and doesn't mess with your stomach like antibiotics.

I have collected yarrow off and on for years never knew about tincturing for bug repellent nice to know better go collect some again

Love the herbalism content! keep them coming =]

Thanks Dan. I'm all set, I put some up last year. I also mixed some up with Boneset and self heal, in everclear, but my powder is a cup of pure Yarrow out of the coffee grinder and I made a twisted twine out of the fine fibers left over.
