  My wife and I moved to Idaho about 10 years ago, from Las Vegas. I was astounded at the variety of weeds that grow here.
  Is there anything edible in Cheat Grass or Foxtails? I hate that stuff!

  I’ve only seen 3 of your videos so far but I’ll work my way through them.

  Thanks for the hard work and pleasant attitude.

    Broom (cheat grass) isn’t even good to use as a broom, which is how the group got names. As for Foxtails… the Setaria italica has been used as millet as well as S. glauca, S. magna, S. verticillata, and S. verdis. Look into the works of Tom Elpel. He’s in your area.

  Wow, I am overwhelmed with the wealth of information in your newsletters. So much to be learned and so little time.

  I just found your site. very cool.
  I do have an odd question for you.
  If you where to hike the appellation trail GA/MA, could you survive and have a happy tummy eating only what you found growing? without exiting the path.
  I ask cuz im planing on hiking it someday…

  I’m a wildcrafter, too, and I just love your channel. It teaches me new foods and about plants that I’m trying to research. Thanks!

  So glad I ran across your page Green Deane:) I have watched half of your videos in two days,and will probably be watching them again:) I have been utilizing medicinals and edibles for the last couple of years now in the state of Tennessee.We have many similiar plants,roots,trees,etc. Still learning everyday,and I’am very grateful for all you share:) I hope to see you , myself and others protecting and cultivating some of these gifts from nature in the future.Your knowledge is so important.How nice it would be if we could have protected land to dedicate to these green beings.LOVE your backyard,would love to visit in the future<3People are just gonna continue to develope leaving less room for wild edibles and medicinals that are safe to eat.All of my favorite fields to gather are being ripped apart and built on:( Gloria
