Hey Group, Sorry about the lapse in uploads, and I know that foraging vids aren't exactly crowd pleasers... Cataract surgery is set for Aug 9. Around mid June the cataract grew and became near incapacitating. If all goes well you'll see a great deal more happening on the channel in the coming weeks. This video was shot shortly after the Wooded Beardsman was here in May. Expect a medical update video this week. I've some amazing new Patreons that are helping support the channel over this rough patch. Cross your fingers and... Until Next Time.

Being completely unaware of any foraging type plants these kinds of videos are very informative and awesome. Love this content.

11:15 man in South Mexico we eat the thing when they have no yet flowered. When the little seeds(I have no idea how to call the little seed pods things not even in Spanish)are young. We just roast them in the fire and oh man, they taste great. They are kinda sour but the flavor is good just like a roasted asparagus. Please give them a try you won’t regret it. We call the thing “palmitos” I think. Try to eat them when they’re young before they flower because they get bitter as they get old or grow. Please make a mention of it in a video, many people don’t know of this method, you’d be the first one to upload it.

Very interesting info. Thank you. I’m from Mission Tx and have seen all these trees and plants you showed but I had no idea they were eatable.

Love the aspect of foraging. Living in west/central Texas don’t have quite the same amount of edible plant life varieties as you. We’ve got a lot of bull nettle though. The roots are a great source of carbs like a potato. Remember growing up as a kid. Used the nopales blossoms a bit differently. We’d take out the center of the flower bulb and stick a spine in it. From there we’d use a cut down pvc pipe as a blow gun.

I had to say foraging in tropical forest to survive my hardship in my labor camps, it provides me more varieties but the downside was malaria I got for years and almost die from it. Thanks for sharing!

Living in Southern California back in the 60's there were black berries in our living area. Backyard is not appropriate. The out doors were my back yard. There were farms that made black berry pies. Now, they don't exist anymore. They're gone. New homes and modern day living has taken over. I had the San Luis Rey river in my home area. It still has names that elude to it but it's gone due to a dam and well, progress I guess. I really hope that Texas and other states do not become California. Keep nature alive. Thank you for awesome video.

I really appreciate this video! I've been trying to have a more sustainable life and add local Texas plants to my diet. This was super helpful.

Mustang grapes. You mostly don’t to eat raw, at least the ones around DFW area. We use it to make jams and jellies or juice (heated). When raw, they are very tart and acidic enough to burn your throat. (nothing really harmful it’s just very unpleasant). but cooked correctly with a bit of sugar, the taste is absolutely amazing. Delicious tart very grapey. From what I understand the wine made from this is sublime.

People seem to be mixing up ground cherries and gooseberries which is understandable since both are Physalis. The differences are that ground cherries are Physalis Pruinosa, a small shrub where the fruit ripens faster and falls to the ground hence the name ground cherries. Cape gooseberries are Physalis Peruviana, the plants and fruits are bigger and take longer to ripen, and dont tend to fall from the plant, they are most commonly grown in South Africa, hence the name Cape gooseberry. There are other varieties of Physalis too, like for example Physalis Philadelphica, which is the Tomatillo, commonly used in central america, its usually harvested unripe and cooked to add to salsas etc. I hope i could help a bit ;-)

"Ground cherries" in nz are called cape gooseberries. The plant grows like weeds. My great grandmother had a huge one, we'd go and pick them. They grow so easily.

Great to have you back

Love watching your videos full of cool info thank you 😊💖

Knowledge is survival, actually. Thanks Bob. You are the best.

Not all of the things you show grow here, but many do. I love to forage, always have. You have a good channel.

Thanks Mr Hansler! This is an enjoyable and informative video! God bless!!!

incredible information - thanks!!! sending respect from dallas

I Love your videos. I teach my daughters how to forage. We learn a lot from you. Last year she found ground cherries. She was so excited. Me too. I'll see if I can go again to that spot to find some to use their seeds.

5:22 the moment I heard that particular “crunch”, I could taste that powdery bitter that dries up all the spit out of of your mouth instantly. Brave for even doin that knowing every kid that has grapes up down here does that and learns that lesson early off. Lol. Great AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Howdy from Fort Worth.
