I'd love to go plant exploring with this guy in the wilderness where I live!
I was a software engineer for over 25 years and now I want to become an expert in Botany and primitive survival skills :-)
BAHAHAHA..🤣 Yes , I know EXACTLY what you mean . He makes you WANT to go back to School, change you Career, and get A PHD in Botany . 🤣 Ya Gotta Love This Young Warrior of the Woods . WHOOP WHOOPS 🙉🖖
I love how you called it "the cancer industry"
Ain't that the truth
it's been cured many times and they were run off or killed.
It is definitely an industry
I highly doubt main man said that in a way to shit on people with Cancer unlike all you shmucks in this comment thread.
I like this guy, he's super smart and interesting, and his voice is pleasant to listen to
Yea he is a genius
.. and he is super enthusiastic which I find adds to the enjoyment of the information. Well done Adam.
His grammar and diction are good.
@@Qrayon ..and he backs his info up with papers, research and great examples
@@paoemantega8793 I didn't know that.
Because of his videos I just picked some weeds in my backyard, and instead of throwing them away, I washed them, cooked them, and ate them just a couple hours ago; and I don't feel sick! Now that the government has forced me out of work because of the plandemic, it's nice to know that when I run out of money, I can still eat something: my weeds!
I love that you include the history lesson, along with the medicinal properties of each plant. Did you say you're working on a book?
This is what you're like when you do what makes you happy.
Felt this
I am addicted to watching these videos. Mushrooms will help save the world but we must protect our old growth forests and learn how to give back to nature and not just take , take , take . I am hoping we can someday soon use our internet to tap into nature's internet and learn how to repair what we humans have destroyed.
I just love how you are still smiling, even when you're talking about the poisonous properties of a plant.
That shows some profound enthusiasm.
👍🏼
Thank you for educating us... without people like you, vital knowledge would wither and die.
And you would to lol
1 11
really though? did you consider this information has been around for quite a long time, its in books, it's been known for a long time, long before him, long before videos, electricity, and the internet. Without him, vital knowledge would be less common, but it wouldnt be dead.
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse Nonsense. So much has already been lost. To appreciate and value it is to keep it alive.
@@juliafox52 a book still exists, with or without someone to read it. These things are lost skills because of the fact we don't need to use these skills anymore. Doesn't mean we will suddenly forget it. We compulsively record everything we do now ever since we invented language, even before language itself we were communicating values because they teach us lessons about what to do. Conserving, simply for the sake of valuing conservation, is to destroy the meaning of the thing you're conserving. So yah I agree, valuing and appreciating something does keep it alive, but why do people value it? What keeps it alive? Why do you credit a persons interest? Why not credit the reason why it's an interest to them? Not to mention, what actually makes it interesting changes from person to person. That causes change over time, thus we have a constantly changing landscape.
Amazing how much knowledge you have. You’re doing a great job, I enjoy watching and hope more people watch your videos.
OK brother..now I'm hooked! Just got back from a forage of (obviously) early stinging nettle plants (Brennessel here in Germany) Its EVERYWHERE! Combined with Liposomal Vitamin C my mother in law's cancer has no chance!
It doesn’t take much to cause harm. Several years back a friend in Turkey was wanting to harvest sicleweed which is a popular herb, but got some poison hemlock in it as well. He made a sauce with it and his friends were (luckily) in a hurry and all had just a spoonful to taste it. Within 5-10 minutes they were reeling. One made herself vomit as soon as she realized something was up; the others were out on the street; they immediately went to the hospital. Luckily they’d only had a taste, so they just kept them there for observation for an hour or so. Definitely not a plant to mess around with.
I have no idea where you learned to put out top notch videos but you are highly talented. Great channel!
Hey Adam just wanted to thank you Bro. I ate my first chicken of the wood last weekend and to my surprise the texture is just like chicken wow. My 8 year old spotted it from 10 yards away so we went to check it out and when we got close to it we realized that someone had already gotten to them first but then as we looked up the tree there it was 15 ft up and looking fresh as ever. So we proceeded to look for a long stick or branch to get them down and with a little ingenuity we knocked them down and were able to take them home and cooked them, hmm delicious. Sorry for the rant but that was a lot of fun. Also we found what i thought was honey mushroom but after a spore print test I realized that it was a deadly galerina whoo close call. Anyways thank you
I'm new to foraging, not confident enough yet to actually trust what I might forage, I'm trying to start with plants/mushrooms that do not have poisonous cousins....I'm also new to your channel and all of these comments about how awesome your videos are...they are completely true! Thank you! I'm a science geek and love that you are really telling us about the plant completely,not just the color shape and size and characteristics. 😁
My Roommate found an App that... when you use it, you point your phone at A plant and it Identifies that plant . It is Amazing. They also have An App for, Trees AND one were you point your phone at the night Sky, At A Star , and it shows you the name and constellation.
It is my Favorite for sitting by the campfire with the kids. Rounds out A fun filled night . WHOOP WHOOPS 🙉🖖
@@cowboykelly6590 Last thing I'd ever do would be trust my life to an app.
1000% I'm feeling out on all the science!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Adam! Plants are so miraculous, one can kill, one can heal. I love the look of the doll's eye plant- perfect name!

@@colleendoran7071 I don't know. You would need to do a web search to find out.
@@colleendoran7071no, they aren't the same.
Adam Haritan blows my mind with the knowledge of plants and their uses, along with the identification of plant. If I were ever lost in the wilderness I would deficiently want him along for survival. Great job Adam.
This is great. Concise, informative, and clear. Thank you for producing!
Thank you Blake! Glad you enjoyed it.
I can’t get enough of this fellas information and catching enthusiasm
Thank you Adam, I could listen to you til the cows come home. You know your stuff.
I'm a very old " plant guy", I've always been fascinated by the vegtal world. This young man is a treasure. He will more so in the very near future.
Show your children his videos, take notes(on paper,) make drawings to help your harvesting. Don't plan on ," the grid" always bring there.
When I was a kid, I used to eat a LOT of Yew berries, but NEVER the seeds. IMHO, one of the better tasting berries in North America.
Great content. Love your stuff. Very well done! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Jim!
Hmmm, the hemlock might explain why our chickens never like the wild carrot weeds we throw to them. Maybe they have an instinct to avoid similar plants. Great info!
I always liked finding out things to eat but it's better get to know what to stay away from. Thank you for making these videos you provide a underappreciated value service to the community with your videos.
Another connection to toxicity of yews is the effect it had on bowyers. One of the best woods for making longbows and traditionally lead to significant health issues to those who worked with it. Cheers!
Can't miss hemlock because the smell is awe-full, it smells like green cilantro (IMO)...I noticed it doesn't care for direct sunlight...I have a patch of woods on my property that has lot's of poisonous/toxic plants on it along with lots of spiky ones it's conveniently a natural barrier between me and the outside world, I leave it alone because of that, :)
Thanks so much, Adam! You are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate you sharing it with us! I learn slow, but I've already learned a few things from you that at 67 I know I won't forget!
KC Nicolaou was the first to devise a total synthesis of Pacitaxel in 1993! I’ve met him and he’s a great man and chemist. Never knew it came from pacific yews. Super interesting!
I would also like to see the plants at different times of the year. For seasonal changes and identification. Great videos, great information! Bee Blessed Danny and Rita in TN on Rooster's Ridge
I started seriously foraging this year as plants and mushrooms became more apparent to me, but I began this spring identifying and noting the white snake root and hemlock
Thanks! You have made my back yard much more interesting. I love that you include chemistry in your video's.
So happy to see Luke has gotten past his issues with his father, he looks happy now.
An interesting Yew history: The English bowmen at the Battle of Agincourt, under King Henry, engaged the French. Their weapon of choice, the English Longbow was handmade from the Yew. Their pull weight was reputed to be over 150 pounds. Pretty deadly.
The Elder Futhark rune Ihwaz represents the yew. Yew trees very often ringed around burial sites as a ward off evil spirits. When we see Ihwaz engraved in a stone it's a protective talisman.
Yes ...the French in England engaged the French from France.
Around the front of the house I grew up in, we had these bushes that would put out red berries with a green spot in the middle. I jokingly called them "reverse olives" referring to green olives with the red pimentos stuffed inside. I never knew what the name of those bushes were.
Now I know they were Canada Yews.
Thank you
My mother had a massive stroke during her second bag of Taxol chemo treatment. It wiped out most of her ability to talk, killed her right arm and hand rendering it useless and severely weakened her right leg. She could not swallow thin liquids nor could she eat solid foods. Everything had to be mushed if it was food. If it was a thin liquid like coffee, it had to be thickened up or she would choke on them and aspirate and get them in her lungs instead of the stomach.
She subsequently died from the taxol just weeks later. It's nothing to play around with.
Yep the treatment is often as bad as the illness (or worse).
So very sorry for your loss and suffering your mother and family suffered😪
Wow that's horrible,,,,I'm sorry ...to you , your mother and ur family..tc
So many plants so little time, thank you Adam once again.
Love your passion about plants and nature...makes it so easy to learn...you are a good teacher
Thank you!
I love your channel man. I am learning so much about the lands around me.
Awesome! And thank you!
I've done a comparison video on poison hemlock vs. queen anne's lace vs. yarrow which is rather helpful for those who might confuse this pant with those very useful plants for any who are interested. Native cultures were very good at using plants we now consider poisonous, it just shows their expertise with the plants around them. Good video Adam and congrats on your success here on CZcams!
" not a a very pleasant way to experience the afterlife in my opinion" I love it.
Growing up in the 50's, in suburbia (New York)... it was common to see those yew trees utilized as hedges. They were everywhere. Those red gooey berries would stain the side walks after the birds would feast on them. We picked them and threw them at each other.... We were repeatedly warned as kids to NEVER chew on those trees (or eat the berries).
No one seemed to sweat the fact that so many poisonous plants were used for landscaping with all the tiny plant nibbling children everywhere. I never heard of any kids getting sick, at least in my neighborhood.
Rarely ever (if ever) see them anymore as shrubs. Wow.. now I just learned that the red berries were actually EDIBLE the whole time... even though the seed center is toxic. Wonder what they taste like.
I love visiting the alleghany national forest and look at the fauna. your videos are very informative and well narrated. Great job! I look forward to seeing the next one!
I cant understand why anyone would thumbs down this vid, the guy is only bright and very skilled????
Thanks mate, you are taking us all on a super journey on nature, which we had detached from , under the blanket of ,so called ' modern technology '. You make us aware of the fact that we have remedies in the nature , for all our physical and mental health problems! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge about them and for being generous enough to share it freely! Best wishes!
I downloaded a free plant identification app which I find helpful. Moreover, I’m so glad I found this informative young man. He definitely knows his plants and explains what he knows about them in a way we can comprehend easily. Thank you for that.
I love the way you break it down so we can understand. This is a worthy channel
My dad had the Yew plant around our house. I've seen them around other places as well. I'm so glad you spoke about the berries. I've eaten many of them except the seeds. Don't bite or swallow them. The berries are very sweet and tasty.
I like how knowledgeable you are about everything! straight down to the latin and non latin names, you really blow this outta the park my man.
Thank you!! always giving great info!!
Your knowledge of plants is clearly encyclopedic and your presentation is pertinent and precise. Thank you for helping to educate us about these plants!
great content! Thanks for sharing this!
How could anyone give this guy a thumbs down! You rock man!!!!
Always good information! Thanks Adam
Packed full of great info. Thank you!👌🏽.
Just subscribed. I have watched a dozen or so of your videos. I really enjoy your style and simple, but quality productions. One video I was watching, looking at your surroundings, listening to the birds and stream and thought,’ that’s just like home’. I live just north of you near the confluence of the Big and Little Mahoning.
Keep up the good work!
Interesting! Thank you for sharing!
I love your show! You’re sooo smart!!
I CAN SEE AND YOU KNOW-THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND YOUR TREMENDOUS ABILITY TO CONVEY !!!!!!!
I thank you for your knowledge and sharing with us.
Great videos, very informative
Thanks
I have lived in Indiana for all 30 years of my life and I grew up living out in the woods yet I have seen white baneberry exactly one time when I was a kid, I never understood how I never saw it again! I thought it was the weirdest plant I'd ever seen, and it probably still is the weirdest! Lol
Hayden, I have never seen that plant, period; I live in the southern part of the country. Interesting.
I'd love to forage more, but even though I almost have no neighbors where I live and a big open yard with countless plants and trees, I wish I had more wilderness to explore.
You do a great job dude, very well done
Doll's Eyes also occasionally comes in a red fruit. There are two up my road and the rest white.
Thanks for the vids! New to your channel but I’m loving it, you are very passionate about plants and their uses and enjoy learning, that’s a formula I can get on board with!!
Your very knowledgeable, Enjoy learning from you! Thanks for sharing
I am amazed with ur knowledge every time
I love your videos, very informative & interesting..
A good vid is showing the various wild carrot family, and how they appear the same - but NOT THE SAME. Wild carrot, Queen Anne's Lace, wild hemlock, etc.
That’s a vid I need to see
Thank you for your time! You have to be one of the most informative on said subject on CZcams.
You Rock Adam keep them coming brother!!
Thanks Stephen, glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you sir, wonderful info.
Love this video. Vey intetesting. I hope you do more.
Thanks, Cindy. I plan on it!
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. It and you are greatly appreciated.
Awesome information bro.keep it up.thanks
Thank you for your videos. They're very educational and Entertaining . Great Job ! Great Show ! 👍
Another great video!
Thanks Keith!
Fantastic content .Adam Thank you for being you .All ways wonderful to watch your videos .Will be in Algonquin park this spring .I have been getting ready by watch your videos and many others .I am on Vancouver Island . We love it here but wish to see new lands .
Awesome! I've been to Vancouver Island and really enjoyed my visits. I'm sure you'll love it out east as well!
Adam you know stuff and thank you for the edutainment. Stay awesome.
Thanks, Doug!
Thank you for all of the information you have posted. It is very interesting. 🌈🎶💕
You are a master teacher. Thanks partner
This video will probably save some lives, thank you!
Love the content and presentation. Thank you.I don't know a lot about wild plants but wish I did.
Thanks Steve!
Great channel dude
Good information. Thank yoy.
Exelent explanation, and presentation 👍
so glad i stumbled across your channel, you are such an amazing personality, with interesting and educational videos.
Thanks Mike! Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos.
Amazing video!!!!! Just subscribed
Awesome info.
THANKS FOR THIS INFO :D Love love ur video's :D
You need to write a book with all of this information on the benefits of forging wild edibles including their poison look alike.
U r good @ this. I wanna hear more. Ty 4 being a good teacher.
Great info and communication skill. You use the old English word save in place of except..neat. I am eating stinging nettle leaf daily since I watched your video 8 months ago. Thanks.
Thanks. I have been afraid of gathering plants. Hemlock sure looks like young queen Anne's lace.
Flower Bin remember this: Queen Anne had hairy legs. Lol. The stem of QAL is hairy, whereas the stem of hemlock is smooth and blotchy purple, like Adam was saying. It helps.
Wow, what a knowledge base you got!
Thanks!
As always, thanks for the free education
Great video. Good information well presented. :)
You really know plants greatly appreciated 😎
Great info. Thanks
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
My friend had that in her forest around the house. Dolls eyes!
Ha ha, poison hemlock grows right in this yard! Well, it did, but I pulled it every spring, and I didn't see any this year. It and water hemlock are rampant in these parts. Gotta be careful when going for Lomatium! We also have baneberry here, A. rubra, which can have white berries as well. There is dogbane, and my favorite, death camas, or Toxicoscordion paniculatum (it used to be in the genus Zigadenus). We don't have Yew around here, or you either (ba-dum-tss), but yews grow north of here. Don't forget steershead, dutchman's breeches, larkspur, or any on those in the delphinium family. Lupines! False hellebore! You could easily just die out here if you eat random plants.
And then there are the fungi. There is a funny scene in _Waiting_ _for_ _the_ _Moon_ about eating mushrooms in France, you should watch the movie.
