    Philadelphia checking in. 14:04 Sparrow is so smart n the finger point had me cracking up. "Porcupine can hurt you" lol 18:01 the double finger point "blueberry pancakes in the morning" so cute. Raising the kids the way they should be. A city kid here would be terrified of the forest.

    I just found your content. I was a huge fan of your old show. It’s super weird to see you. Use an iPhone because the show definitely portrayed you guys as a little more primitive because of your location so they never showed you using a folder or or anything like that, but I think that was, a theme of the show like they were trying to portray you guys as this rare thing

    Hi Eivin, Eve and family!! Unfortunately, I know nothing about mushrooms but my daughter is learning. She recently went hunting for morel mushrooms for the 1st time and really enjoyed the experience (and the mushrooms!). I was just wondering if morel mushrooms grow in Alaska and if they are a kind your family also enjoys?

    Depends how You use it. Ancient shamans were using strains of Amanita for their rituals. Only one which I think was not used was the gray/green one because even with boiling too much toxins are left inside.

    Mushrooms don't regrow in the typical sense of a plant. They don't have the same type of root system that resprouts. They repopulate off of spores which become airborne after the mushroom has reached full maturity or near it. Which is one reason people that pick mushrooms often use mesh bags that breath so they spread spores as they pick the mushrooms and walk around. The mesh bag also keeps the mushrooms from getting sweaty and slimy like in a sealed plastic bag.
