Edible Gardening

SURVIVAL FOOD: 5 Edible Wild Plants and One to Avoid



Winter rains in southern California bring forth an abundance of wild edible plants that are good for food and medicine. In this video I show several different wild edible plants that I commonly find in this area and share how I use them. Rufo eats wild plants too.

  1. Chad please don't eat sorrel! too much oxalic acid in it…read Sally K Norton on oxalates it is great info to read, much health to you!

  2. you can also make a good wine from nettles it tastes great.
    do you ever bump into people in the wild and do they wonder why you are living in the wild?

  3. that oak would be wonderful for tables, chairs, and other furniture.
    what trouble would California make if someone wanted to harvest the dead lumber?

  4. Although my knowledge is limited I am seeking to learn how to forage. Foraging Arizona by Christopher Nyerges seems like an extremely great source of information about various edible species as well as inedible ones. Unsure if you know about it Chad, If I had to take a guess you would but for anyone else wanting to start it seems like a great book maybe there's better.

  5. hi Chad, the question is not on the topic of this video, but it worries me) will there be a continuation of the series of videos primal tendencies??I've re-watched all the old episodes several times.

  6. Hola qué tal , soy un seguidor de tiempo atrás , tengo un pequeño canal de pesca en TikTok y me gusta la supervivencia y la pesca espero nos puedas mandar un saludo a mi papá RAÚL ZAPATA y a mi BRANDON ZAPATA , un saludo y somos admiradores tuyos y de tu trabajo .

  7. Thanks for the knowledge please give ìn foma tion about the hut i apprec iate very much for you creativity and effort with the hut

  8. A breechcloth is a long rectangular piece of tanned deerskin, cloth, or animal fur. It is worn between the legs and tucked over a belt, so that the flaps fall down in front and behind. Sometimes it is also called a breechclout, loincloth, skin clout, or just a flap.

    In most Native American tribes, men used to wear some form of breechclout. The style was different from tribe to tribe. In some tribes, the breechcloth loops outside of the belt and then is tucked into the inside, for a more fitted look. Sometimes the breechcloth is much shorter and a decorated apron panel is attached in front and behind.

    Breechcloths leave the legs bare, so Native American men often wore leggings to protect their legs. Native American leggings are tube-like footless pant legs, usually made from buckskin or other soft leather. They are not connected to each other–there is one separate legging for each leg. Both leggings are tied onto the same belt that holds the breechcloth with thongs that attach at the hip.

    Many Indian men tied garters (straps, thongs, or bandana-like cloths) around their leggings at the knee to help keep them in place.

    Breechcloths are easy to make. You will need a strip of material (usually leather) 12 to 15 inches wide and about 48 inches long.

    Get on it!

  9. You're an inspiration Chad. I love this video format, I think you may have struck gold.

  10. just a bit too quick paced for me, but really liked this shorter format nonetheless! informational videos like these are pretty nice

  11. Dear Mr. Zuber.
    👍👏👌 All of it looks very tasty (and I definitely don't mean/eat dogs). 😁 😉
    In some days I will be able to eat wild garlic (called Bärlauch = bear leek in Germany), dandelion blossoms (called Löwenzahn = lions teeth) and Daisy blossoms (called Gänseblümchen = geese flowers/blossoms in Germany). All three pf it is very tasty, extremely healthy and will give me a lot of energy and resilience. Wild garlic will also take out respectively wash out the slag in my body.
    Last year I also tried the eatable sister of the stinging nettle, the deadnettle (called Taubnessel in Germany). But it seems that my body didn't like those. Or maybe I ate a too big portion.
    Goutweed is most hated by garden owners here in Germany and maybe even all over the world. I put it in soups, just like I do with stinging nettles.
    I never liked peppermint tea but with wild peppermint (dried or fresh) it's a complete different story! Tastes great (hot, warm and cold) and is very refreshing.
    Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards, luck and especially health to both of you.
    Post Scriptum: I hope that you can at least harvest some of the wonderful but dead oak tree.

  12. missing the adobe builds. Maybe try building a firewood shed or a Granary to hold your beans and other staples.

  13. You can take the baby nettle leaves and fold them tightly with your fingers to crush the stingers to eat them raw. However, proceed with caution. Nevertheless, I prefer them in a zesty soup!

  14. I still find it weird that you live in so cal i live near the Mojave desert and its wild to see the different areas

  15. If you don't mind, I would like to ask what source of info do you use to know what plants are edible. I tried random Internet search for my area, but didn't find anything useful. According to your experience, where should I start looking for information?
    Thanks. Take care.
