    John, I like the video and information however you are not always clear or direct enough on naming the plants. I think this could be an area of improvement thats all. Thanks.

    In case anyone is wondering, the White Man's Footprint is Broadleaf Plantain. It tastes better than the narrow or ribbon leaf variety, especially when young.

    Great video, thanks a lot for posting it. I'm just starting to learn about wild plants and edible landscapes and found this to be quite useful. You helped me learn that what I thought was clover is actually wood sorrel. I have made a correction in my own channel's video and posted a link to this one in the description.

    The Pendulous Sedge may be a good source of carbohydrate in the autumn, but there is another plant, the Reed Mace or Cat Tail which is plentiful and available throughout the year. Found easily along the edges of rivers and lakes you have to pull the whole plant out of the muddy water, exposing the tangle of roots. These don't taste very good raw, but if you simply cook them in the ashes and embers of your camp fire charring the outside black you can then open up the fibers in the middle and suck the starch off. They taste really good, a cross between potato and chestnut and they are absolutely packed with energy boosting carbohydrates.
    BTW after the nettles you talk about White Man's Footprint without actually mentioning it's real name Broadleaf Plantain 'Plantago Major' maybe that was just a bit of missed video sound editing. A very useful plant.
    The Narrow Leaf Plantain, Plantago Lanceolata, can be dried and made into a tea which is excellent for relieving coughs.

    I recently discovered Mallow as an edible. It's been growin here and getting pulled as a weed for going on 35 years. I was going to weed the patches last night and decided to check my weed ID first. Turns out..after eating 30 raw Mallow leaves last night...I have a bumper 'weed' edible crop 😄

      You can eat them for vitamins and minerals. You can ret them and make cordage from them. You can dry the leaves for tea, (though fresh nettle tea is much better!)
