This video has been such an inspiration to me-I must have watched it 100 times myself! But it is the reason I now have a play list experimenting and learning all sorts of ways to spin dogbane. Have you made any sort of garments out of the dogbane yarn?

How did you make your drop spindle?

What is the name of the tool that you use to comb the fibers?

Nice shots of bark and forest litter. Awesome images and description of the mushroom. It’s time,

Thanks. Great tutorial!

WHEN IT COMES TO RESEARCHING NATIVE AMERICAN MARTIAL ARTS THIS IS BEYOND COOL THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO.

i love terpentin product by conifer plants as product secondary metabolit .

ahh Roots, you're cheating! That hand drill clip had an edit. If you're female instructors can teach hand drill then they are bad ass! So film the entire process. Prove it. I'd be impressed because out of at least 200 hundred women I know practicing friction fire all of them could do bow drill and 1 could do hand drill. So if she can do hand drill I want to see it. Otherwise show her (advertise women teaching) doing bow drill.

very helpful- thanks

I see you’ve got a hafted adze/celt. Had you thought about using hafted end scrapers for some of the concave work?

Amigo tiene alguna referencias para poder tallar pequeñas bolas de piedra sin herramientas modernas?

Nice!

Awesome work

How have you made the warp for this twined basket? Was it also from dogbane? I know how to make cordage, and trying to transition to twining

I love this video as we as a society walk away from modernism, globalism and other 20th century evils, traditional crafts and arts will become much more important. :)

As a wood carver who is learning to weave willow, I am really grateful to come across your video!

I wish I discovered willow basket weaving at an early age.

Had dermestid beetles in the scrapings from a buffalo hide, a paper grocery bag 3/4 full. Made a A smudge bundle of dog bane peels stalks. Laid the bag on the side, so the breeze blew the smoke directly into the bag. I less than 5 minutes all vermin were dead

Show us the tools you are using to "brush and comb" your fibers. Please show us how to make them as well.

Out west, we have a different vocabulary: I’ve never heard of “herd,” we call it pith. We call the outer layer bark, not cuticle. FYI

Fermentation video begins at 3:30.

How long let you dry the goldenrod spindle?

Is this something that you still offer? I'd really like to attend a class or few

Someone whacked a bunch of Apocynum cannabinum in a ditch with a sickle-bar mower recently. I let it sit for a few days, then gathered an enormous bundle. I want to make a bowstring, so I figured I would need a lot. I thought to just skin the stems and spin that, but I learned from this video I should only collect the "bast" fibers. Good to know. A heavy bowstring will cast an arrow more slowly. So much to learn!!

Fermenting is pretty much the only practical way to eat this root, it decimates gasing, eating unfermented tubers will result in a non stop farting session for as long as it takes to push them through the intestines. Do not attempt eating unfermented chokes if you plan on venturing out and interact with people.

Here in Vermont they are very late starting to grow, but when they start growing they do grow tall as you describe. I have seen people recommend harvesting all year long. In Vermont that is impossible as the soil is frozen 4 - 6 months of the year. I also do not dig in the summer leaving the new growth to support the plant. This was my 49th year growing them (actually just watching as the only labor is digging the tubers in the fall). What started as 5 or 6 seed tubers has now become a patch 15' X 25' or more - with no effort on my part. They are a late bloomer here, sometimes barely beginning to blossom when the first frost hits.

I suspect I have dogbane in my yard. When do you collect and process it?

I want to grow some willow too.

I remember my mither buying a big basket in fiji around 1967.. she still had it up until 2019....

All Gardners worth their willow work the landscape and follow nature......

Love the poncho!! Did you make it??

Good video, i think i try to build my firs't bow and this video show few good tips😊

Nicely done, only thing left out was making sure the beginner has the spindle on the outside of the string. You’re the best!😁

Would suggest that the entire process be done outside up till it is ready to spin. This plant is very toxic, with a neuro toxin that affects the heart. Throwing the discarded pieces on a fire in your shelter, will kill all pests and insect vermin that dwell within your home. If you breath the smoke you will pass out, then die if not taken out of the smoke! The smoke is like teargas. If you want to get rid of dermesdid beetles plaguing your hides, this smoke will make short work of it. Breaking up the stalks indoors, and especially cleaning the fibers- if you can taste the bitterness of the plant in your mouth, you are breathing in micro particles of that toxic. I have a friend who did this, and had five years of heart problems from it before they finally went away- it was caused by the breathing indoors of that fine dust. Just a good warning to all, process outdoors, and a slight breeze is helpful!

I cannot listen to two chord changes....

Love Jerusalem artichokes. I learned to eat them only in the spring for basically zero gas. You can dig them up as soon as the ground begins to thaw, weeks before they even think about sprouting. You can buy tubers for planting in most major seed catalogs and some grocery stores in larger cities. The like good soil in full sun and generous water. Be careful where you plant them.... they are very very strong growers and will spread. Gorgeous flowers in fall are a bonus. Wish I could get some started again. Have been enjoying wild foods since I was a kid in the 70s. Euell Gibbons was big back then...

Very well done. THANK YOU!

Hi. I have a question about hand drill. I used a mullen spindle on a mullen hearth board. The mullen hearth was in the two-stick fashion (two mullen stalks bundled together with string). However, this never generated a coal. Instead, I got lots of smoke and piles of brown dust, never a coal. I tired this at least a dozen times before giving up. What would you recommend? I want to use the two-stick method, but don't know what type of wood goes well with a mullen hand spindle.

Just coming across this beautiful video, 12 years after it was made. I hope you are still bushcrafting. I love your poncho! You must have inherited it from your mom because I have one just like it that I bought more than 40 years ago.

"Promo SM" 🤘

Wow that is amazing. I have been looking for a fiberus planet just like this and this one is exactly what I was looking for. I hope I can find some in Maine.

That was phenomenal! Great teacher

The most satisfying way of making a fire in my opinion. The process of looking for the right resources and turning them into a workable set on the spot is such a mindfull activity, nothing else matters but living in the now and getting an ember and turning it into a flame and eventually a campfire. Second favorite firelighting method is the one match fire (oh the sound of mathces in a matchbox!). I really enjoy the peacefull way in which you explain the task at hand. I learned to bowdrill DYI by watching a lot of youtube and trying it for myself after stealing with my eyes on many a video. But it really clicked in my head after seeing a woman perform a bowdrill fire in the same quiet and composed demeanor, putting away with the force and stamina myth. The video I'm talking about is ruclips.net/video/PlxujVPiN6U/видео.htmlsi=3S7LDVFLzQcteTyt. Thank you Sarah for your valuable contribution!

Oh man, has it already been 2 years? Great to see an upload, and a very cool chapter.

I make a living teaching this stuff and your style of instruction is brilliant. Everything was carefully explained and very calming, it was like listening to a yoga teacher😂 New sub here, thanks from the UK

Good to see ya back on the Tube.

Well done 👍🏻

Wow the first post in 2 years!
