Surviving and Thriving in the Utah Desert
This is the second movie in my survival challenge series. Using minimal gear during late spring 2023, I headed to a new spot in the Utah desert to see if I could survive and thrive on the edible plants of the region. This high desert location is a new spot to me. To thrive, I need to find a sustainable water source, create a warm shelter, and locate wild plants that will sustain me for my survival foraging trip. In addition, I will need to cook any wild plants to an edible state for consumption. Please watch my video to see how I did.

In this video I am taking on a new challenge. Can I survive in a formidable location I have never been before with only a knife and canteen (and cup)? I also had to use a pick.  This was due to the fact that I had a camera equipment failure, which cost me a day.  I ran out of time to finish, digging the pit with a stick. This high desert location is a new spot to me. To thrive, I need to find...

Appreciate the knowledge shared in this video!
From what you’ve learned, what edible plants would be the most hardiest to grow? And I mean the once that are easy… nurse them to seedlings and just set it and forget.
Awesome video
Poor explanation. And never ever eat anything as a trailside nibble, always rinse thoroughly and blanch it for 60 seconds is best. Animals pass along their waste all over the place and this can spread very severe even deadly diseases especially bird poop. Always rinse. I see all these experts pick stuff while explaining their videos and eat stuff without even thinking about rinsing it at a I know it is fun to eat plants while in the woods but rinse first
How can you tell the difference between this and lupine?

Hello, Great channel and glad I came across it. Love identifying medicinal and wild edibles. Been on many walks and classes with Christopher Nyerges who is a friend and has written many books on this topic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge as well! Keep up the great videos!! Enjoying the survival mixed in with the primitive skills and plant identification!!
Question for you: Are you thinking this is Harbouria trachypleura (that's the one I call whiskbroom parsley, with the stiff, super narrow-lobed, quite bitter leaves found in a narrow band on the Front Range) or Pseudocymopterus montanus syn Cymopterus lemmonii (variable leaves, softer, not delicious but not bitter, wide range; that's the one I call mountain parsley). Just investigating these plants. Thanks for the help!
Hey friend! I can't believe I didn't know you had all these cool videos!
I had them growing in the yard on my lawn smelled like onions
would be better if you don't explain everything, let viewers think themselves what you are doing or what you are going to do.
Excellent video! I think I’d like to try the spiderwort and Indian bread root. Could you have also made juniper leaf tea?
All that's missing is a fat quail or a couple of rats over the spit.
Learn to listen to that feeling in the back of your head. The primal brain, also known as the reptilian brain, has been honed over millions of years. Before you eat anything you should look at it, feel it, and smell it. If you get a bad feeling, don't eat it.
Imma smoke the grass
You don't say anything about the bulb on the second plant which looks like it's got like a triangle shape to it which we have growing all over the place. You mention the first plant has no discernable bulb yet. So I'm confused - will the bulb that's not there yet look like the other one? Are all triangle-shaped bulbs the poisonous ones?
I never knew about this distinction, which is why I was poisoned and died 12 years ago on a camping trip.
Will both smell like onions?
Umm, you don't dig them unless they are done flowering and have seeds present on their tops, which one one he dug wasn't lol, and they have a bulb at the bottom of the plant, the part of the root he his holding generally isn't eaten. The bulb is what's gathered dried and used for flour or later meals
The ponderosa woodlands beyond our back fence in New Mexico were full of wild onions. For reasons unknown our beagle/dachshund mix dog loved wild onions. As soon as we pulled one out of the ground he was there to eagerly gobble it down.
I’m looking at a 30 acre property in the Sonoran desert. Instead of a traditional garden I’d like to repopulate the land with native perennial edibles. How would you suggest I go about something like that?
Lol
Good thing your faking it, other wise you would die wasting so much energy on a bed. Like most modern city people you have no clue about nature. only what you read in books.
Onion smell like onions and poisonous ones do not
Thank you, that is exactly what I was wondering.
What size Zebra pot, 16cm?
Thanks for not editing out the failures.
There are toxic camas in the east as well (e.g. Nuttall's death camas) but they are not as common in the mountain. The more common cause of toxicity in Appalachia is people mistaking young daffodils for wild onions or ramps. Thankfully this is merely unpleasant, not life threatening. Trust your nose, if it does not smell strongly of onion do not eat it.
Any idea if one could find a seed supplier for these plants?
I guess I've never noticed "wild onion". The "wild onion" I'm used to I guess is wild garlic (hollow stem). What I don't get is there are two kinds here. One is a very oniony smell and smaller while the other is a very garlicy smell and is bigger. I always called the oniony one wild onion, but it doesn't look like either of those (has a hollow stem). The garlicy one also has a hollow stem.
Thank you!
I don't believe the authenticity of this video... in Southern California inland empire, it gets so hot that before noon, that all of society banishes you from the fringes of all human dignity for looking like zombie apocalypse, hills have eyes, Sla from the Goonies, and Quato from Total Recall without incessant air-conditioning ...

This might be a long shot but at this point i'm asking everybody. Any ideas on cheap motorhomes /tiny houses for a young pregnant couple? We are in Colorado and need any help we can get. They need stability and a camper is all they can afford to buy. Anyone reading this, thank you for your time.
Wow, just found this video today and it saved my life and the lives of my family😮😮😮❤
Thank you for the so useful tip of square steam , this is so easy to remember ..!
