A Wander In The Forest - With Bonus Weird Stuff In A Can
Vložit

- A nice day for wandering in the forest; a little foraging, a little appreciation of nature, lunch cooked outdoors on my little camp stove (including one of the cans kindly sent to me by Nalim27 last year)
My travelling spice kit comprises Kinder Surprise egg capsules, housed in this container: • How To Make An Upcycle...
I can scarcely imagine how wonderful it must be to have forests like that accessable. Even though i live in a relatively wooded and rural part of australia, the landscape is often much more overgrown. Spending time in that forest must be nothing short of delightful
Welcome to jolly old England mate... Where the world says we have nothing, no good food, no good land, no culture, and only rain and according to the media are all right wing tories.
As you see yourself the truth is exactly the opposite.
@@sarchlalaith8836 the only reason much of the english speaking world thinks england doesnt have any good food is because all of its "normal" food is from england lmao. And honestly the landscape is england is wonderfull from what i know of it, wish australia was more like england in a lot of ways
@@sarchlalaith8836 Lived in Carlisle for half a year as an intern, and learned the difference between perspectives - a tourist doesn't spend enough time to find and appreciate the things you fall in love with while spending more time and actually living there, getting to know the local cuisines and beers as well as making friends with some of the locals. Similar here in northern Germany - to a tourist people seem reserved, cold, and distant, eating strange food and doing weird things, while in reality we take things slow, like a cat cautiously sniffing a finger before further approaching a stranger. Once we're past the "finger-sniffing" stage the former stranger is either avoided (seldomly) or carefully integrated into our select group of friends (usually). This normally happens over the course of several events at public or private places, with everyone in the group allowed to veto further invitations, within reason.
It amazes me how little growth there is on the forest floor in European forests.
@@sarchlalaith8836 the English put out that it's just boggy there so they can have it all to themselves. 😄😝😆
Jenny is so wonderfully sweet. Shoutout to her for allowing us to peak into your lives. Your family gives me peace of mind during tough times.
I just want to say Mr Shrimp, that I began watching this video this morning whilst hungover. I was thinking about how I'm a lazy pos and your living your life well. Then I decided, to hell with this and took my boy out for a good adventure in the woods, thanks for giving me the inspiration to go out and be more active
This small paragraph was a rollercoaster of emotion. But the ending was wholesome.
shrimp is the kind of person I want to be
George Greig fell you bro , i wanna too
I agree. A quiet but knowledgeable, wise person.
That's very unfortunate. I will pray for you.
He really epitomizes that saying "try to be the person your dog thinks you are."
Ignore the hater below, I relate with you! I want to find an mushroom identification book for North America, because of this channel!
“Mushroom racism” is a phrase I didn’t think I’d be hearing today
Fungi Genera Matters
#MLM
Seems like a Douglas Adams concept, humourously ponderific it is,
more like mushroom genus-ism really
Mushroom racism the term originally invented by American Democrats. Every 4 years the Democrats remember to call Republicans racist no matter what's going on. Keep this in mind 4, 8 and 12 years from now.
I've had a really rough night and day with my family. This video really helped. Thank you 😊
I hope things are better with you and your family & I hope you’re feeling better today x ❤️
@@Leanne_w a little bit better today. Thank you 😊
That was too cute..pokes camera near tree hole "I wonder who lives here"...I got a kick out of it 🐿
Such a wholesome shrimp.
yes
He’s the best he’s like a grandpa
Utterly.
Wholegrain shrimp 🍤 ? 😂
I hope his nickname irl is shrimp now because of his CZcams channel lol
Sir, your Channel represents the true spirit of the Internet. Cheers!
The oak trees clearly synchronise via an entmoot.
This is the simplest answer. Occam's razor and all that
@@AtomicShrimp they probably use the internet like everyone else ?????????? lol.
@@AtomicShrimp I didn't know that plants can synchronise their seeds dispersal. I live in another part of the world after all. But you just brings so much joy and enlightenment into my lives. Keep it up.
P.S. does your dog, Eve, wants a little hug, I would hug it all day. She is so cute. And active (unlike me).
@@lsd25records
True. They use mycelial networks.
Hence why they don't drop every year, as it takes a long time to say anything in old entish....
Thanks for taking us along! What a nice day trip for those of us in lock down.
“I see some Amanita mushrooms are growing in next doors garden”
‘There goes the neighbourhood’
Just wanted to pop by to say your videos always bring me out of my slumps when i'm over-stressed or anxious, thanks for being you Shrimp!
Friendly reminder: You wanted to add a link to your spice tin. ;)
Thank you - done!
@@AtomicShrimp That's a very nice little box. :)
@@AtomicShrimp you just wanted an excuse to buy kinder eggs didn't you? ...and who wouldn't let's be honest
@@asmolbean9300 I have not had a kinder egg for years and I bought one when I saw his last video I got one & they have gone expensive lol.
Firstly, I’d like to thank you for sharing with us your wander through the ever beautiful New Forest. I have exceptionally fond memories of time spent their with my family as a child, and many subsequent visits as an adult staying near New Milton in a caravan. It must be nearly 25 years since I was last in the forest, and now being disabled/housebound watching videos such as this is my only way to visit one of my favourite places. There’s nothing quite like foraging for mushrooms this time of year, so long as you know what your looking for. Like yourself, my best advice has always been....if you’re not sure, leave it alone.’
As for the can, I used to buy something similar from Lidl when I lived in Germany. That is a really pretty tin. A tin like that I would clean up very carefully so as not damage the label, then use it to store stationery or grow small herbs/air plants in.
Stay safe and well guys.❤️
Thanks for the video! It was lovely to see a bit of Jenny, and Eva, too! Here in Athens, we live in the foothills of Hymettus mountain and often go foraging for wild thyme and rosemary. We see mushrooms, too, but we leave them alone as we don't know how to identity them. Thank you, again, Mike!
Google translate does pretty ok job of pronouncing. Btw it is not just beef on the can it is written Hovězí maso s česnekem which means "beef with garlic".
We have a truly ridiculous amount of acorns local to me, they fall like hailstones onto the local cars and the squirrels have gone berserk. 🥜 🐿
Great for fattening pigs and improving their flavor. Some oaks fruit only every other year and the crops can be heavy.
Squirrels in my area get acorns and black walnuts to forage for. There used to be a random chestnut tree nearby, but the property owner got rid of it last year.
Wonderful
They do make amazing flour though if you can bothered to leech the tannins.
I wonder if it’s a last year, I believe oak trees have them.
I'm also going to forage for mushroom one day. Nice one Mr Mike. Love u
Two days ago?
He just released it 14 seconds ago
@@someone-nn8fm unlisted... since they have been in contact before - see prior videos - Atomic Shrimp probably linked the unlisted video to him.
@@someone-nn8fm
Maybe a member or patreon of the channel if atomic shrimp has them.
Aww cute :)
I absolutely LOVE this channel! Thank you, Mr.Shrimp, for creating such amazing content, and allowing me to be a part of the shrimp gang!!!
eva needs her own channel.
also this was incredibly relaxing.
"Eve you're not chasing the deer! They don't like you!"
He went so harsh on little Eve, haha
Poor doggie want indulge in a roll.
I feel like he doesnt really like his dog.
I know, and my name's Eve, so every time he addresses the dog, my ears perk up, too!
@@thekingoftheworld9553 I don't get that impression at all. If he let her run there is the risk that either Eva or the stag could have been injured or killed, it's kinder for both to keep her under control, even if she disagreed! I know people who's dogs have brought down and killed deer.
@@thekingoftheworld9553 I feel like you're The Devil.
What a beautiful part of the country. You're a lucky man, Mr. Shrimp.
Have you considered taking some of these dodgy specimens home, doing a spore print, then whipping out the usb microscope? Most mycology keys I had access to in the 80's came down to that iirc. (Which is why I've always ignored species that aren't obvious, like sparrassis crispa, non-coluuring boletes, hedgehogs etc)
I might do that - not sure we'll see much at the magnification of the USB microscope, but worth a try
@@AtomicShrimp i have a cheap USB microscope from the internet.. cheap as it is I get good shots of the gills or pores.. etc.. its actually a useful tool .. i use it on my pot plants too... takes awesome pictures.. think I paid 10 or 15 dollars and got it in the mail.
@Redgren Grumbholdt its a amazing world.... resin glands and blobs of resin.
This has to be one of the best channels I have ever seen, you interact with your fans and get straight to the point, more CZcamsrs should do this instead of screaming every minute, just a nice guy who gets straight to the point.
Your videos are so very relaxing not to mention educational. Thank you. Take care Sir Shrimp 🍤 and Jenny. 🙏
I like you add little things like how much you like the can label. I agree that the label is nice but I like that you took the time to appreciate it too. Always interesting and love the edits!
22:38 Hovyezee Maso...(the hook atop the e just turns it into a "ye" sound and does connect it stronger to the last consonant, so "vye" in this case) and yes, the design is beautiful. Typically czech in a way... They are the masters of pickled food there... also: Beautiful forests and cities... I think you'd enjoy a visit^^
I've seen pictures of Prague and is love to go once in my life, but I'm too broke I think to ever afford it.
@@SaberViper That's another good thing: Compared to cities like Munich, Berlin, Paris or Vienna it's reasonably affordable.... So if you already managed to get to europe somehow nothing's holding you back.... Also: Don't miss out on the countryside (especially southern bohemia) and other cities like Brno and Plzen
Uli is spot on. I have worked in Czechia for the last 4 years, travelling from the UK every few weeks. Staying in Prague can get reasonably expensive during the summer for hotels but the food local wine and beer are cheap. I now stay either in Pilsen or a small town called Beroun not far from Prague. Really cheap there for hotels and the local beers are sometimes less than a UK pound. You can get a train into Prague easily to do the sight seeing bit. The Czech people are very welcoming especially in the smaller towns and the countryside is wonderful!
Thank you, that was a relaxing watch:) I’d love to see more of this:). Seems like it was a great walk in the forest:)
So I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California and all the oak trees have been pelting everything with acorns for about three weeks now. I didn't know it was synchronized all over the world. I learned something today. Thanks!
a little bit of foraging, some weird stuff in a can, kinda slow tv, yellow mushroom scammed him a bit, and i'm fairly sure some unboxing happened at 17:37.
that's the recipe for a tasty vid!
It was exquisite.
I walk with a cane and I am physically weak so it’s really nice to see all of the things A. Shrimp does
Always nice to have a walk in the forest with you, Jenny and doggo :}
Eva is such an energic little dog.
8:20 must feel like such a privilege seeing these animals in the wild, in person. Amazing.
They are not so much fun when they are in your yard eating the roses and hostas. We have a small herd (about eight on average) of blacktail deer that live on our block . I swear the buggers are so urbanized they have bus passes.
That stream was dead straight & uniform in depth & width. Looked like a drainage ditch more than a stream...
As to the synchronisation of mast years. My favourite theory is the symbiotic relationship between tree roots & fungi. Mycelium give the network, pheromones give the signals that travel upon the network.
This is why not only orchids have their communities of fungi. But we're discovering more & more about the web life under the soil. Information about predation, mast cycles & aids to proximity of germination in exchange for protection, sugars etc.
Legumes aren't the only plants to have symbiotic relationships with fungi.
Trees utilise this undersoil data network too. This is why it's best to buy root balled trees & not bare root ones. That biome of microbes and fungi are more important than we appreciate I feel.
The stream is part of a managed piece of woodland, so it probably began as a manmade drainage ditch - it's sort of turning into a more natural watercourse; some parts have begun a little meandering
@@AtomicShrimp That'll be something interesting to keep an eye on. That branch making a small waterfall for instance. It'll be fascinating to see how long the "echoes" of the branch last once it rots away.
I think that's a living root, so it might remain in place longer than I am around.
I will return to that spot soon and see if we can objectively measure the meanders
@@AtomicShrimp you really ought to look up information about mycelium networks, it's truly fascinating. Stammets is an absolute expert on mushrooms and he has some great talks online
Whilst I respect Stamets a lot, I find him difficult to listen to. I think it might be the mushrooms.
Man, I sure do love strange things on the box.
3:28 You thought this was a wholesome youtube channel, till you found out Shrimp is a mushroom racist!
😆 that was pretty funny
Despite making up only 13% of the mushroom population, amanita species make up 52% of mushroom based poisonings.
Amanitas. Comin' over 'ere, poisoning us
@@AtomicShrimp takin our soil! Why I orta!
@@AtomicShrimp those damn foreigners, taking our mushrooms' job... All jokes aside I was super surprised to see a Czech product in one of your videos! The other language on the can is Slovakian if you are curious. Cheers from Prague
new forest national park seems so alien to me, there's just such little undergrowth on top of the fact that i've never seen a beech tree in my life
So nice to see Jenny and Eva. Hope you are all doing well and staying safe.
I think it was Veritasium who did a video on oak trees. They occasionally have a super crop of acorns but not every year. During the surplus year squirrels work very hard to collect and bury the excess, so much they couldn't possibly finish them all. The next year the squirrels reproduce, they get a bump in population but since the squirrels buried so many, many were left to grow new trees, benefiting the oaks. Of course the next year the trees go back to normal and the squirrel population goes back to normal.
I'd never ever thought that I'd see a can with some "weird" stuff in it that I know!
Would you indulge us and tell us what the ingredients are please cohort?
@@sarchlalaith8836 Beef, beef fat, pork skin, salt, garlic.
You are a fine specimen of a human being. We, your audience, are truly blessed.
Great video when you go in the woods
Dear mr shrimp
The bird at 14:15 was a nuthatch
Much love
That's a lovely can, would not have expected it to contain stewed beef!
Those deer are jerks, Eva is adorable.
Always enjoy your videos @Atomicshrimp! It’s great to see how much your channel has grown! Sub from back when you had about 63,000! Thank you for all the work you put into your channel!
It shows just how old England is, when we still call a 1000+ year old forest, the New Forest. I wouldn't have it any other way. Lovely video.
I’m waiting for shrimp in a can, so if there’s another atomic bomb it can be Atomic Shrimp in a can.
I just want him to demonstrate use of a geiger counter with a can of shrimp.
Shrimpception!
Thank you so much for this most entertaining day out in the forest, I actually felt as if I were with you guys on your walk, and that stew looked so delicous! Great post Sir.
So beautiful! I lived in England for just over 4 yrs and I loved the beauty and historic sights. Thank you for sharing.
This was very soothing. I miss having a nice wander in the forest
I'm glad Jenny and Eva were along on your walk. The stick-headed doggos are a terrible temptation for the poor pup though LOL. Eva's little coat is very cute. Glad you have it on such a crisp-looking day.
She just wants to run with them I think, but that makes them run away, and then she has no idea how to stop running
We're also having a mast year for acorns here in the central US. Thanks for the video as always, looked like a great walk!
my mom's yard is an ankle turning nightmare this year
Growing up in south alabama, my stepmom would lock my sisters and i outside in the summers. We were allowed inside to go to the bathroom, and for lunch then for the night when the sun went down. Anywho. We would load up our backpacks in the morning using bottles from my dads lunch to take water with us when we would explore the woods. We lived on 3acres and my neighbor had 40acres which was surrounded my 400acres of logging land. We got lost often. It was great
That was great little trip into the woods thanks for inviting us along.
For some reason him saying “ if I were marking this for you I wouldn’t do this” just tickled me pink.
A lovely walk. I liked the part where Eva was all excited. Which was most of it. :3
14:50 That is chuffin awesome. Nature never fails to amaze me.
Very relaxing video Mac! You will not believe it but yesterday I think, that I must missed some of yours video(s) because I can't remember if you tried canned food from me. And now there is fresh one with that :-).
Keep up good work, I'm still watching your channel!
Thanks for this - not sure this was anything like the proper way to use this product, but it was very good in this stew
@@AtomicShrimp I think it is ok - it was just beef with garlic - so you can use it as any meat according your preferences. That soup looks very delicious!
I'm looking what you will cook with that Prague Ham :-)
Looks nice and green still
Loved watching this 💙 so nice to see someone foraging. If I ever get the chance I'd love to move out of the city and live like this
The pov shots of you walking in the dry creek bed is a lovely break from moody Adelaide weather at the moment. ❤️
Thank you from Florida. I absolutely love getting a notification from your channel. An lovely video as always.
You need to put a warning label on these kind of videos with "Might disturbe sleeping dogs" on it. ;) My Jack Russell just flew up from a deep sleep when Eva cried out. His heart almost stopped.
This was a lovely video! Thanks so much for bringing us along with you.
Oh good! I enjoy woodsy wandering and foraging, but tins of terror vids are my favorite.
Puppers is LOVING that. Making my dogs excited too LOL
Would be lovely to see the streams and little rivulets in full flow!! Make the whole dynamic of the forest change totally. :D
This was a lovely, relaxing, enjoyable video to help me enjoy the weekend. Thank you!
Really liked this! Very relaxing. Also poor Eva! No yummy food for her! Even after she helps confirm if mushrooms are clean.
Weirdest coincidence: just as Mr. Shrimp mentioned the aroma of his mushrooms and onions cooking in the woods, I caught the very first whiff of the corned beef I started cooking for supper!
Seeing all those ferns made me miss my fern.
The deer may not like Eva but I do!
I love watching these videos of just you walking around forests
it would be interesting to see if the periods were primes on the flowering - see cicada hatching periods. two primes ensure the maximum spacing between sprouting/hatching.
It surprises Me why the "New Forest", is called the "New Forest". It's actually only a Woodland. The difference is in the density of the trees. The denseness of the trees, makes all the difference.....lol.
It was named 'The New Forest' nearly a thousand years ago. I reckon it's too late for nitpicking now.
Thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing to watch as always. Many other countries seem to put so much more effort into packaging designs
Thanks Mr. Shrimp 👍
The design on that can is so beautiful, it looks like it should have some fancy candle inside.
Fuck me. Just came back from a friends place, slightly drunk and just saw a new shrimp video. There is nothing more wholesome and relaxing than a shrimp in the forest to fall asleep to :D
Nice great to see you enjoy the forest.
I know this is England, and I can clearly see the moss on the tree branch, but I intuitively cringed real bad when I saw all those dead leaves around next to a rickety gas stove standing on a fallen branch during what is still forest fire season where I live.
I know it's the forest of my dreams.. (nothing like this in Norway. )
Looks like Lothlorien..
But I can see why it's called the New forest.. no stream is that straight, and it can't be more than 200 years old or less
I 💗it.. want one 😜😉
(I have to look it up.. )
I don't know how old the stream is, but the New Forest was declared by William the Conqueror/Bastard in 1070-ish so it was "new" then.
My dog is now searching the house head to toe looking for Eva! I think she thinks I've smuggled another dog into the house
Excellent as always. Now to find my dinner!
Love your little dog
I am from liverpool and it is a mast year for chestnuts and acorns! Love the content!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
As a mushroom, I encounter "mushroom racism" all the time. #MLM
:D
That’s because there’s some bad mushroom and some mushrooms send you on some weird trips. But I’m sure you’re the best fungi around!
Eva looks so much like my Jane. What a beauty!
Imagine walking in the forest and running into shrimp eating a can of god knows what😂 never change kind sir never change!
I would love to run in to him in the forest , I would ask if he had any of that food to spare because it looked delicious.
@@Leanne_w He and his wife would immediately pit-roast you. Please reconsider your priorities.
@@returnofbeaux my priorities are great.
Love that little Evie!
24:08 Can opener. An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.
I'd like to roam your forests and imagine it stretched on forever, looking for marauding bands and the few places to hide.
I remember small Beech forests from my childhood in Bergen, Norway and it was like a fairytale. Dunno what your Deer finds to eat, though.
Most of our forests we have to either wade through shrub, or a mat of Spruce twigs, and can't see the Moose, only hear it crashing about.
nice little ramble
Chanterelle's(any type really) together with Hedgehog mushrooms and cream makes a wonderful sauce for meat dishes. Adding some fried bacon(important that it's fried from before) in the sauce is also a wonderful addition.
Nature of Things with Atomic Shrimp! The weird stuff in the can in the woods was a nice touch. Felt like watching a bit of freedom from the work week, essential shopping and other city restrictions.
I wonder if you were a school teacher or professor at one point.
i really love all your videos , you just saw how little things can be spectacular and i can watch you all the day
Interesting video as always. I understand that trees communicate on a local level via the fungal network, however, we are on the Berkshire/Surrey border and also having a heavy acorn production this year.
There are so many major roads between the New Forest and here to break the fungal chain, so I think it's more likely climate related or air born chemical signals.
It would be both! We know , not that much,
