wilderness innovation real survival kids survival shelter simplifying survival and wilderness innovation calm now this this time of the year the fall this is an excellent time in a survival situation to be able to gather all kinds of food to eat this time of year especially up here in the mountains berries are very prevalent we've got chokecherries all over creation up here those are very good all right here's chokecherries right here kind of pull them forward so you can see them good I'm going to tell you what there's not much food that you can pick that's easier to pick than chokecherries you see how the fruit grows a little stems that hang down I mean all ideas just stick my finger on just put your put the stems in your fingers and just pull like that and a couple strokes you can have a you have a whole handful of berries look at this so simple to pick this stuff you shouldn't you shouldn't starve to death if there's some of this around so I I have picked here in about 15 minutes I've picked about 10 pounds where the berries so if I were out in a survival situation I could do a lot with that I wouldn't want to necessarily exist solely on chokecherries of course but that could cause possibly some other problem when the effects of this those chokecherries it's kind of clean it blends of my my sinuses out your closing yeah my colon not yet though yeah I know colon stuff yet you know it makes a good supplement to some greens or whatever other kind of things you know you might be able to find I do like the Indians did they used to mix they used to mix a lot of their foods in fact they'd a lot of times they would mix berries and meat and that sort of thing so you know don't be afraid to try some unusual combinations anything that will keep you eat and then keep you going and keep you alive is all worth doing so anyway that's a little bit about the chokecherry here mmm very good got a little pit in it just kind of like a cherry and the flavors kind of cherry life and I even look like a miniature cherry hmm these things are so good now they do have like I said that little somebody described as a stringent property and whatever that means I think they taste if you've ever done pickling if you've ever tasted alum before it kind of makes your mouth pucker up a little bit well that's kind of what that reminds me of and what you cook them a little bit a good bit of that goes away man if you mix them with some other stuff you know what kind of discounts it to some berries have more of that property in than others do a pretty good pretty good in that ghetto to knows of it she's doing yeah all at all this is some good eating right here choke cherries
