Thanks, Adam! I am recovering from an injury that has kept me out of tbe woods for months. Your beautiful (and fascinating!) videos are truly a breath of fresh air.

I’m very, *very* relieved to discover this video isn’t going the direction I initially assumed.

The little reading flashback was so cute!

You are truely one of my idols. Every video i see of yours teaches me more about the complexity of nature thus making me even further enthralled with it

I just love your interesting, beautifully filmed, informative presentations. I had never heard of Buffalo Nuts before this video but now I am amazed at this plant. Thanks so much for what you do!

He's one of the greatest orators I've ever heard. He speaks a stream of consciousness that just takes over my brain and rolls with what he's saying and I catch nearly all of it. He's like an excellent comedian who can grab the audiences attention and put them into a laugh trans, but he does it with what is considered one of the most boring subjects by the majority of the world's populations.

Like the new edits Adam, your videos were great and informative, but the seamless voiceovers and transition animation are improving every day! Great stuff!

At 55 learning something new each day can be a chore as their is only so many things under the sun. Your channel challenges my knowledge and I thank you for that. I formerly lived in central Pennsylvania and currently live in New Hampshire thanks again

I'm also like that. 😃 Sometimes I read about a plant or mushroom, and I feel immediately a big desire to go to the nature to find it. Cool, that parasite feature of that plant. Thanks for sharing that interesting plant my friend. 👌

Now that I think about it, every time I see this shrub, there's never any fruit, unless I'm higher in the mountains where there are less deer. I'm in the Appalachian Mountains in Northeast Tennessee. Great video Adam!

There's one of my favorite mycologists! Always happy to see a new video excited for this autumn fall season of foraging!

If Adam was interested in Buffalo Scat, he could do a 17 minute video that would make it seem interesting to us and we'd watch it. That's talent right there!

Thank you young, the world needs more people like you.

Nothing wasted. Knowledge and curiosity, wit and wisdom...worthy of each visit. Your work and life passions are inspiring.

Another amazing video! Professionally done and full of great information. Thank you!

Please keep doing what you are doing. You are one of the few sources of hope I get in this world. I love this earth as much as anything. It's amazing and wonderful and thank you for taking the time to make and post your videos. It means the world to me and many others and it gives us hope.

What a great quest to find the humble Buffalo Nut!! It was most enjoyable and instructive. The scenery was lovely...it reminded me of the woods I explored as a child. I'll soon be 84 and that was a nice memory to bring to mind. Thank you, Adam. :-D

I had never heard of this plant before. Very informative video, Dr. H. Thanks again for another very interesting lesson about our natural surroundings!

Adam, love your videos. I am familiar with Pyrularia, as well as Commandra, Buckleya, and Nestronia. Saw buffalo nut on Bluff Mountain in NC years ago with my local flora students. Reason I am familiar with these plants is because my master's thesis research was on Nestronia umbellula Rafinesque, UNCC, 1979. Fascinating southeastern members of the Santalaceae. Thank you for your work!

Your videos never disappoint me. Every time I click on one I know I'll be learning something new. Keep up the great work!

What a fascinating plant and once again a beautiful and very educational video. Thanks, Adam!

That was a very interesting video. I like the history you threw into it. Thank you for always doing a great job explaining things so we can understand them.

Adam’s point of view on the ecosystem is really beautiful

Adam I would personally like to thank you for all the videos you have done. I always look at your videos for reference or advice and enjoy watching them. Thank you so much!

From one Botanist to another, dude, that is way cool!

This was a really interesting video, Adam, as are all of your other videos on mushrooms, wild plants and trees! I'm learning so much from you, and at the same time I'm trying to share my knowledge with others, as well. Thank you! Misha

Looking For Buffalo Nuts? First locate a herd of buffalo, then..... Thanks so much for your videos. When I receive a notification, I stop what I'm doing, and start watching.

I just LOVE your narration young man! Listening to you is delightful, you managed to peak my interest in a plant I couldn't care less about. Greetings from Canada, in between the great lakes.

"I" *should be OUTSIDE-LOOKING FOR These!* Thanks Adam....U keep me *busy* but much appreciated+

Awesome channel Adam! Appreciate you sharing and documenting your research.

I love your 'flashback' scene where you're reading...lol....

I've been in the woods, in East Tennessee, getting ginseng, and now I'm wanting to learn more about some other plants and such. While I'm in the woods I see all kinds of mushrooms and different kinds of plants that piqued my curiosity,many of which I don't know how to correctly identify so I've been watching videos like this trying to get a good system going. Thanks & I will let you know if I find buffalo nuts Also East Tennessee looks so similar to your state.

Aw, you weren't wearing the hat!!! Great video, there are so many things we just don't really "know". Awesome that someone fenced in the buffalo nut bushes to protect them; wonder if that effects the balance. Stay well, and thank you.

I spray deer repellent in Maryland, and I know all too well how much damage deer can do to an ecosystem. We have an exclosure in Patapsco state park, and the difference between inside and outside is shocking. You don't have to be an ecologist to see the impact unchecked deer populations have on an environment.

Fascinating. Thanks Adam.

That title, I'm just like "what in the heck?" I have never heard of them. So glad I watched, your channel is one of the most interesting on youtube. I love hiking, and the forests, so this just makes me even more excited to get outside!

Thank you I found this plant in a huge abundance on this one sight here in far southwest Virginia had no clue but now I know! It's rare when I can't identify a plant in these mountains!

This is cool because it shows that not everything you forage for has to be edible. You could simply go to find rare plants!

Adam, your passion is contagious

What a great observation! Great video thank you!

Haha! I love how you break the 4th wall.

Great video Adam, thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Adam!

I want to commend you. As the world gets darker, and hard times are upon us, many people will turn to the wilderness for their food. All your educational videos are a life saver. When you get judged at the end of your life like we all will, you will be rewarded for teaching what matters.

One of my favorite KZread channels!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

you deserve a filmography award.

Bro, I love your videos. I don't think they could get any better. Thank you.

Excellent Adam! Thank you so much. If you haven't connected with the folks at Powdermill Nature Reserve yet on the distribution of male and female plants here in the northern end of the plants geographic range, you may be interested in the research that they are doing. Good stuff! Thank you again for these most informative and educational videos.

Thank You for the video. Always grateful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you Adam for another great video and an introduction to new to me interesting plant that I plan to keep an eye out for 😊

Your video, as always, is a work of art. Thank you for the information and inspiration to look closer at the natural world. Stuff like this helps me to find meaning in unlikely places.

Thank you Adam

Hey man love your channel! Was recently in the woods of Pennsylvania hiking and climbing and I was hoping I would bump into you making a video hahah very insightful and engaging. Hope to meet you one day. Much love from southeast Michigan

Gee, I thought you were talking about me? Buffalo Rick here! LOL. Im nuts say some

Excellent exploration, and a potent reminder that the region was once the home to the Eastern wood bison and elk which migrated on big trails that are now the pathways for our modern road system, and from what I'm reading might one day be home to them again. Cheerio

Thanks. Fascinating insight.

Thanks great work, beautiful country

As a kid our family would take an older great uncle on Sunday outings for plants and roots he used to make teas. The best smelling one was " BLUE MOUNTAIN TEA" . This may just be a mane he gave it. The last time it was found was a mile or 2 east of Lykens, Pa. I seamed to like to grow in coal mine strippings.

I'm always absolutely fascinated by your knowledge!

Very cool. Learned about a plant entirely new to me ~ thank you!

I love watching your videos. I grew up foraging with my grandpa in Western PA. You've got a lot of information and knowledge and it totally has helped me find habitat for a variety of mushrooms, I thank you for that. One question I have is, have you done a watercress hunt video yet? We used to pick it every year and mix it with dandelion greens and buds for the best salad I've ever had. I forget where we used to pick it but I know there was a patch in a ditch at the SNPJ campgrounds in Enon Valley, PA. Good luck on your hunts and please keep em coming.

Good investigative work Adam!

Very cool. I've been wondering for years what this plant is. Pretty interesting that Pennsylvania has an apparent overpopulation of deer.

PA has been increasingly overpopulated with deer for the last 30 years, at least. I remember there was a massive die off on the eastern part of the state because of a virus that hit the overpopulated herds. It spread super quick.

@@robertmadden332 yeah, here in Tennessee it's the same story. There's always too many deer here, and now there's some new brain disease that's started to affect the whole population over the last few years. Now when you kill a deer you have to send in part of its skull to be tested.

I'm in Southern Indiana and when I was growing up we never ever saw a deer. Then the federal protection overpopulated them and they are terrible pests. I haven't been able to grow flowers or a garden because they decimate everything! I'm glad to see they will be diminishing!

Love you Adam!!

Another awesome video! I really enjoy your videos. They are both informative and beautiful. Thank you!

Love the hat!

I've seen buffalo nut in NC and TN and wondered what they are. Now I know

Adam, would love to hear your take on the differences of Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) and Green Dragon ((Arisaema dracontium). Saw one (or the other) at the edge of my woods today.

Absolutely fascinating! Its parasitic nature and connection to white tail deer browsing in particular, as well as its possible ecological function you mentioned toward the end. I admire your tree hunting spirit, and am looking forward to seeing more stories like this one on your channel!

Your videos never disappoint. I had never heard of "buffalo nut"..so interesting and unusual.

Great video! Thank you!

That hat and title made me laugh out loud😆! Another very informative video. Thanks

Thanks Adam 👍

"Here is buffalo nuts the object of my recent desire." This video is an unintended comedy genius. Either that or I'm just immature. It felt like watching AlfiesAethetics for a minute. Love how informative your videos are. Sorry, I'm so immature today. :)

... :-)... Very interesting. Thank you.... You definitely need to take a buffalo nut and chew it lightly to taste it, and to see if it is oily. This is called bioassay. It would be safe enough to do this, especially since it is reported that other animals eat it. If you leave out bioassay, you are leaving out the best part!

Sure do appreciate your knowledge.

Great presentation. Nice find. Your passion for all of nature is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Another awesome video Adam. I always learn amazing facts when i watch your videos. I am so greatful for your knowledge and what you do. Keep up the great work!

No, don't leave them alone. You should bother the Buffalo nuts all you want. They appreciate attention.

Adam, would you please consider putting all your knowledge into a book? I would truly like to "learn my land." Especially plants with medicinal benefits such as antiviral,bacterial, microbial. I find duo purpose plants such as echinacea and bee balm truly amazing as well. Id buy a dozen starting out if you would publish something. There are books like thos out there but most of them, from my experience, are incomplete and just touch on the highlights of plants.

Wow, I have never heard of buffalo nut. A very interesting plant. I live in Georgia , so I may actually have some on my land.

Beautiful photography.

Cool shot of the timber rattler, great video as always

Watched the whole thing :) glad you had an adventure

I wonder who put up the fence lol, what a hero

Great production as usual!

I love this guys personality lol

wow! nice close up of the rattler!

bro, you made me care about buffalo nuts on a random Thursday afternoon

Love the music on this.

THanks Kindly Adam! The forest has many lessons and all are amazing! I live in the forest in SE Pa. and I'll look for these plants, if they are here. In the river hills of the Susquehanna River, about 10 miles west from me, I'll have to check there as well on my adventures. If I ever find Buffalo Nuts in this area, you'll be the first to know.
