Hello Atomic Shrimp, I'm glad that you are like all Czech/Slovak products so far. I have hope that you will like all of them ..... we will see. Good and very relaxing day in forest .... maybe a little lonely ... but you have a lot of subscribers with you :-)
Going into a forest just for a nice walk, finding a stick, making a spoon out of it, finding mushrooms, cooking them on a small stove, making a nice meal with them. That just sounds so lovely! I really envy you this one.
@@nalim27 It isn't that I can't, I don't have so much free time that I can spend a big chunk of it doing basically nothing. :/ Not that I don't want to, there are just other things I do instead.
What a beautiful video. I needed this after the horrifyingly stressful day I had. I couldn’t stop smiling and I’ve teared up a few times during already. Very therapeutic. Thank you for sharing.
@@longethdayv770 Are they? I know some people eat them in the East. I guess he wouldn't say it because it would be irrelevant. I know people who were brought up on a farm where they bred a pig, the children got fond of it, but it still got killed and eaten. It's as well not to mind too much if what you think is cute is also thought of as food.
@@longethdayv770 Sorry, yep. I rather went off on one there. I was trying to sort out something as I typed: not the best way to communicate! It is irrelevant, you're right.
somehow i'm getting out of breath just by listening. what a beautiful wholesome content, i also love learning more about mushrooms your enthusiasm is contagious. i might just pick some mushrooms growing under our flowerpot.
I subscribed a few months ago and have been working my way through your videos. Just found your pond in a jar and then this. It's really hard to stay awake, in the most wonderful way!! So much ASMR right here!
This shows the England that I am enjoying getting familiar with in all of its beauty. Over the last few years your videos have opened a whole new perspective on life for me. This weekend I will be heading on another woodland walk. Thank you

I appreciate the advice, but wording things a little differently might yield a better response if you feel it's in the public interest to share this information. Criticism and attack almost always lead to defence. What he chooses to forage is his own risk that he's made clear in comments to you and others a number of times before. At no times during this video do I feel like I'm being encouraged to forage. It's simply a man documenting and sharing his hobbies and interests.

Thank you for sharing your day with us. So peaceful and so beautiful. With your excellent skills with a knife and axe, I suspect you would also make a fine flint knapper. Have you ever tried?
Atomic Shrimp You’ve probably scene this footage of the incomparable Phil Harding making and using flint tools. I’ve been a Time Team aficionado forever. czcams.com/video/c81_g-2Lp70/video.html
Casually cooking with a spoon he made like an hour ago. Respect. I wish I could do this kind of stuff, but I live in the Mojave Desert.... not much woodland around here.
At about 19:40, you mention the aerial activity. There was a lot where I live, too. In the absence of airshows, due to the C-19 pandemic, a lot of vintage aircraft, in order to maintain their Certificate of Airworthiness, have been taken out on short jaunts by their crews. I saw several Tiger Moth biplanes, and Auster monoplanes bimbling along. The sight pleased me greatly.
While it may be the wrong time for Antler, it would be a great time of year to look for a Burr, seeing as foliage on the tress is at a minimum :) Fun to carve for a nice decorative handle for a stick.
Thank you for the wonderful leaf crunching sounds. As a preteen I walked everyday in the summer holidays through our woods in the hills around, all alone as that is how I loved it. Crunch crunch crunch.
I saw this video pop up yesterday when I didn't have time to properly enjoy watching it so I waited until this morning and savored it. Thank you (but unfortunately, now I'm extremely hungry AND want to go for a ramble in the New Jersey Pine Barrens...)
I'm in NJ too & I'm pretty sure I've seen this or a very similar looking species a few times somewhere. I doubt it was in the pineys though. I'd never eat ANY wild mushrooms without being 100% sure. A fungus toxin death can be among thE most miserable & prolonged kinds. It is interesting to think about how our ancestors figured out which of the very few types are indeed edible, without science/tests/books/the internet etc. It had to involve quite a bit of trial & ERROR. & dead farm animals & pets lol.
Thank you Mr Shrimp, I've not been able to escape in to my own local not-quite-wilderness (Epping forest) for a few weeks so this was a well timed treat.
This was very relaxing to watch and actually makes me want to go out to the forest I have access to which is very similar, instead of making me envious for more wild nature, thank you.
A pleasant ramble, thanks for bringing us along. Maggi brand products are sold here in the USA too. I have heard it pronounced just like the nickname Maggie.
The view at the beginning was so beautiful already exited what comes after that Love it keep that stuff up I think it brings us all a bit more towards nature especially for those whom can't see it all the time
I couldn't help but think of Jack Hargreaves from the 1970's TV show 'How' - made not far from you, in the Southampton studios of what once was Southern TV, whilst I watched, and thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Omg where do you live in the UK? If you don't mind saying. It just looks shockingly similar to where I live, in Michigan (🇺🇸). Particularly the wetland-ish terrain and some of the areas with ferns and moss that you walked through. Those spots look so familiar to me and my partner. But we are, as you said, laughing at you from a country where we have large swaths of big forest. Especially here in Michigan which is one of the most forested states, so even compared to the rest of the US it's woodsy here.
Thanks for such a nice and relaxing video! It's really interesting watching you forage and cooking your spoils. Makes me want to try the same but I admit I'm a little scared I'll make a big mistake and end up ill. Oh well, maybe one day. Was nice to virtually enjoy nature with you!
These videos inspire me to go out looking for mushrooms but unfortunately my local woods don’t have much space either side of the main path and what is there is extremely steep uphill. Nevertheless I will be foraging and maybe even making a video like yours!
You’re such a talented woodworker. I saw that video about Makers Guild recently and that’s been an idea in my head to have something like that available for people and so hoped maybe it already existed here, but it doesn’t sadly. They don’t teach woodworking here anymore in the schools, so I’m hoping to maybe find someone willing to maybe apprentice my son. You should make an imorugun now! :)
Cadburys have started making wafer biscuits as their "roundies". Given both Cadburys and Opavia are both owned by Mondelez don't think it's too much of a surprise.
What a satisfying life! Or so it seems from the outside. Still, though, being able to ramble about in the woods, picking mushrooms, casually carving a spoon, giving nature lessons, eating stuff people send him from other countries, enjoying nature and the woods, then ambling on back home to annoy scammers. I would love to live in more pastoral surroundings.
Only last night I was listening to you trolling scammers. Now I'm watching you foraging for mushrooms and carving cutlery. CZcams sometimes takes you in weird directions. This time it took me somewhere fun. Have my subscription, good sir.
boo! it's only ok that you have a stainless steel pot if you still say 'aluminum' sometimes xD (i'm american so i really like how you guys say aluminum way better than how we say it haha)
@@AtomicShrimp The name aluminum is derived from the ancient name for alum (potassium aluminum sulphate), which was alumen (Latin, meaning bitter salt). Aluminum was the original name given to the element by Humphry Davy but others called it aluminium and that became the accepted name in Europe. However, in the USA the preferred name was aluminum and when the American Chemical Society debated on the issue, in 1925, it decided to stick with aluminum. Just yankin yer chain. But it's true :D
Re picking fungii, and putting them in a bag, wouldn’t they sweat too?? It is so good to get away from the pressures of life. I live near the sea, and love to just sit and watch the sea. It is good for mental health too. You also play down your woodworking skills. Cheers Mike, yo are a top bloke
@27:50 I believe those mushrooms are psilocybe cyanescens (wavy caps) Not 100% sure but they definitely look like them. And if so you're one lucky bastard as i've searched for 2 years now and never have come across a single one.
Two questions: 1: what does Mrs. Shrimp think about your excursions, and will she ever join you? 2: are there any good field guides you know of or have stumbled across, about mushrooms in North America?
Mrs Shrimp is often actually with me when I make these videos (although not this one), but is a little shy about being on camera. I don't know of any field guides for North American fungi, but I can recommend a youtube channel called Learn Your Land, which will be very useful in learning to ID edibles (and non-edibles)
At first I thought that was your dog, then I realized it was a pig, lol. Then I saw another and another. I'd not go hiking in the woods and expect to see pigs running around. It's comical. I like pigs. These seemed pretty calm about your presence. I wouldn't have minded if you spent a moment, or two, with them a bit more up close.
These were pretty small porkers compared to some of the pigs I have encountered in this part of the forest - they are only allowed out during the day at this time of year to forage. As a child, my parents used to bring me to this area to pick blackberries and we would spend a whole day filling up a large bucket with them - except one time, a very large pig came along and ate the whole lot - it was a huge animal and there was literally nothing we could do to stop it just taking the fruit. Sort of scary
@@AtomicShrimp Their owner must be ok with letting them out, where others roam about. I like that idea, but it's not done here. It would be a great treat to see them, but the big ones, like you described, while comical, are formidable and intimidating, as you said.
In Australia this would not be tolerated. Feral animals in a national park. Here they run extensive baiting programmes to eliminate feral predators. Pigs esp are very destructive rooting through the soil, eating seeds, seedlings, invertebrates, etc
@@AtomicShrimp Yeh, you probably need to be much further west. Or North-West up in Scotland. (Area around Cononish would be possible as there is a mine there.)
@@1kreature Yeah, when I was down in Cornwall a couple of years ago, I found a rock on the beach with a quartz vein in it that had a sort of sparkly yellow streak in it, and some iron staining - could have just been pyrite, but I will never know as I put it down and forgot to take it home with me
Great video. Looks like the Fritham / Eyeworth area. Its a shame about the mushroom foraging restrictions on the forest now, all because of the large scale organised picking.
I'm pretty sure the the breed of those pigs is AGH and if it isn't than their very closely related. we had some their petty nice (the one breed of pigs that don't constantly try to get out) XD
Have a feeling you might dig going to Knepp Estate in West Sussex in Early July and doing the Purple Emperor thing - it's a butterfly...would appreciate a video on this from your good self!!...(Incidentally I am a failed musician - you can probs see from my channel - and released two albums of instrumental music callled Conversations by England Under Snow - I would be happy for you to use the music completely free if you are interested - I'd have to check with my co-writer in the 80s I guess!! but it's a thought) Danny
I would cheat with the Maggi pasta by using half milk and half water, and adding butter and some chopped ham. I do that with the Bachelor's Pasta n Sauce. Not so practical in the woods though, but at home ..... By the way, your voice reminds me of Graeme Le Saux (ex Footballer)

I'm pretty sure the the breed of those pigs is AGH and if it isn't than their very closely related. we had some their petty nice (the one breed of pigs that don't constantly try to get out) XD
Have a feeling you might dig going to Knepp Estate in West Sussex in Early July and doing the Purple Emperor thing - it's a butterfly...would appreciate a video on this from your good self!!...(Incidentally I am a failed musician - you can probs see from my channel - and released two albums of instrumental music callled Conversations by England Under Snow - I would be happy for you to use the music completely free if you are interested - I'd have to check with my co-writer in the 80s I guess!! but it's a thought)

Am I the only one who was blowing as if on the spoon as well, when AS was blowing the hot food from the pan??? :P
All mushrooms are edible....some only once....
what material is that black mug that you always bring along?
It's an enamelled steel mug (often called a 'tin' mug, but it's not made of tin). It's useful because you can boil water directly in it
Splendid
im glad he didnt get bitten by the pigs!
yeah but AGH pigs are usually pretty calm and nice (I'm pretty sure that's the breed of those pigs and if it isn't than their very closely related)
I would cheat with the Maggi pasta by using half milk and half water, and adding butter and some chopped ham. I do that with the Bachelor's Pasta n Sauce.
Not so practical in the woods though, but at home .....
By the way, your voice reminds me of Graeme Le Saux (ex Footballer)
When I saw those pigs I thought they are almost as friendly as porcus , thought how can be wild but you said they are let out for foraging .
I live in south east England. After watching these videos I sort of want to buy and MRE pack and spent the day in the woods.
Just awesome day
