By providing them with food you also get to observe more wildlife on your property, a very nice bonus. I'm glad you had a nice father's day walk with your family and that your dad was able to deliver on his promise! Im sure their health will continue to improve with the guidance and inspiration you provide!

I think it is wonderful how you think of improving the food supply for the forest creatures as well as your own. Of course, I realize it is also in your own interest to attract those creatures, but you rarely see others think that far ahead.

Before purchasing, I went to their website to look up the ingredients. The two I can not take are stevia and spirolena! Stevia is the taste and a headache. Spirolena does bad things to my gut. Everything else in it is fantastic!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us !! Take care brother Shawn !! From Ottawa

amazing how a little effort each end of the summer can increase future hunting possibilities .... and still provide useful wood for use as well ....

I had started a couple of Hugelkulter spots on my property a couple years back after watching what you had done. The tree chaf is breaking down nicely. Here in southwest Colorado, the soil is marginal at best. Thanks for all that do buddy.

Make sure you get the ticks off of calli, like your video 😮🤗👍

Hey Shawn, selfish question (as Scotland has a similar climate to where you are): it'd be great to see if you've found any more perennial food-producing plants? Especially the non-obvious ones like the Jerusalem artichokes. Additionally, if you're doing so: if you're growing any plants for medicinal uses (e.g. St John's Wort, Poppies for making pain-relief tea, white willow, etc.)? It's especially difficult for a relative novice (like myself) to know fact from fiction when it comes to herbalism - perfectly accept the argument that modern pharmaceutical companies have the incentive to ignore/hide/etc. natural remedies ... but there must be SOME scientific data to support SOME of the plants that actually work (like the ones I mentioned earlier).

@ShawnJames1

We’ve pretty much removed vegetables from our diet so our perennial vegetables like asparagus, lovage, sunchokes, etc are going to the chickens and family. My wife specializes in herbalism on our homestead so we grow a lot of medicinals. I mainly use them for external healing, bug repelling, etc.

Great video Shawn! I haven't yet added AG1 to my daily use but I will be doing so. I've lost almost 50 lbs in the last 6/7 months by a need to change my diet due to being diagnosed with gastreoparesis which was brought on by long haul C Vid. It took a month of until I figured out what my digestive system would tolerate. It ended up being about a 90% carnivore diet as well as cutting out processed foods and my only sugar intake is from raw unfiltered local honey and local organic fruits. I've also supplemented cayenne pepper into my diet for its incredible health benefits along with many other natural "local whole foods" often times wild edibles. My cardiologist just told me last Tuesday that whatever I'm doing to not change anything and my next follow-up visit is in a year. When I first saw him he said we'd likely be in the cath lab within a week and that was been a year and a half ago. The changes I've made have been incredible. I raise almost all of the meat I eat, along with harvesting venison, rabbits, and fish to add a bit of diversity to my food intake. I follow both your channels and you are an inspiration! Thank you Shawn!

I don’t want to spend money on expensive supplements so I’m going to add a mineral lick to my diet just like our ancestors .

Do you have elk down there? Elk and Moose are two of our major red meat sources. I have heard you talk about moose. But I don’t think I have heard you talk about elk. I had read quite a few years ago that elk were reintroduced out in Ontario. We have a sustainable population so far. And our family hunts Elk every fall. Usually one in the group will harvest an elk. Then we process it our selves and divide it up to those family members who participated. Unfortunately last year was the very first year no one got an elk or a moose. It is concerning. We are on the edge of the boreal here in Saskatchewan.

I am really enjoying it and learning a lot. 😊

Fantastic news about your Dad and Mom making informed dietary changes. AG1 is definitely having many positive impacts for me as well. Thank you for your AG1 recommendation, Shawn! May I suggest you order Super Beets heart chews (by "humann" for heart health, blood pressure and circulation) for your Dad and Mom?
