We put our cauliflower harvest to good use and can bread and butter pickles for the winter months. Mid summer is full of outdoor cooking with fresh foods from the garden and foraging from Alaska's abundant forests. A jar full of creamy cloudberries makes for a delicious brunch.

So that little thing you pulled out of the ground you thought was a puffball - look up amanita phalloides (in its button stage), I'm not sure if you get them in Alaska or not but sure looks close to it. Sure glad you guys cross sectioned it and didn't eat it!!

This channel is like a Swiss army knife. It's part DIY building show, part gardening how-to, part cooking show, part nature documentary. I swear if you guys start doing sketch comedy and maybe some history documentaries you'll take over the world.

I'm sitting here eating refried beans out of a can, watching you two curate the most amazing meals, from the freshest ingredients, living your best life... and I can't help but seriously reconsider which life choices led me up to this point.

The first bolete you found (17:33) is Chalciporus piperatus ("peppery bolete"). The currants (18:43) are one of the hairy purple "skunk" or "stink" currants/gooseberries- approriately named. The next mushroom (19:30) is one of the many North American red capped Russula species. Red russula edibility depends on palatability- do a taste and spit test to see if you like it. The cup fungus (19:45) is some type of operculate ascomycete- Peziza or closely related and they are not edible. The next group of boletes (20:48 and beyond) is a mixed collection of Leccinum species ("scaber stalks") some people can eat these, some people can't. Not sure of the next ones, couldn't see all the features. The next boletes (22:25) are more Chalciporus piperatus. Last mushroom (22:41) is either a Boletus edulis ("king bolete") or Hemileccinum subglabripes ("butter" or "lemon" bolete) a close look at the stipe would be definitive. Your next berry (22:50) Rubus pedatus ("five leaved dwarf rubus") is one of several similar species people call "trailing raspberry".

I identify and teach people how to identify fungi and plants for a living. I know you will do your own research but sometimes it's nice to get help or at least some affirmation that your own ID's were correct.

Smudge sticks have serious spiritual significance to many of the indigenous communities all across the Americas. They are not just incense.

Cauliflower leaves are amazing in salads, dipped in hummus or dressing & freeze well after they're blanched. They're actually a great addition chopped up into soups, I've even used it as a substitute in Zuppa Toscana when I was out of kale

Those cabbage leaves would make some world record size cabbage rolls, no?😳

Its 2:58am in Texas. My 11mo son woke up super cranky. He finally laid down with me to watch yall video and he is belly laughing at Eric spitting out the berry. We've legit watched it over 6 times. 🤣 thanks guys!

I will appreciate yours commitment to growing fresh vegetables without the pesticides.

@frdkdiogädjsjsufbf 4 years ago

For everybody commenting about beeing scared with collecting mushrooms: there are mushroom guides with a focus on the edible mushroom, ones that look similar and how to tell them apart. Another great option for beginners is looking for mushrooms that have no similar looking ones growing in your area, there are a couple of sites and those are usually also highlighted in the aformentioned books.
I've been collecting since I was a kid, but it really helped me broaden my horizon. Have fun :)

You had me at "It completely stopped the bleeding" 🤣 Nurse here, love tips! lol

My goodness, you two work so hard, but you sure get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Thos pastries at the end looked amazing, and that custard, yum. Thanks for taking us along on your homesteading journey.

@heyhope326 4 years ago

You guys inspired me to start gardening this year, and with a few buckets I grew tomatoes (which the squirrels mostly stole) and one butternut squash! It's a little step at a time, thanks for the encouragement!

In northern Norway it is very popular to pick cloudberries. people have secret places to go, which they don't tell anyone where, because the berries are so popular. A popular dessert is whipped cream with a little sugar and cloudberrys. The dog has soon made the pond so big, you can have fish in it. The bread you made is popular in Norway, we call it school bread. (without the berries) but with powdered sugar mixed in water around the middle, and coconut flakes on the powdered sugar
