Hit me up for more tree identification tips😎
Good job I like the light nature of the video I wanted to tell you that it's a lot easier to clean your Mitaki if you cut it in sections about an inch wide like slices then most of the little stuff just Falls right out I wash mine thoroughly and I freeze it sell it dry cook and also make lots of broth
Woah those are some big bunches
I used to forage and I miss it. But I'm enjoying your videos. Good info. I hope your channel keeps growing.
Hi guys, nice video, was this filmed in October?
Old ailing sweet chestnut trees are good for the Maetake too; found 3 (to pick) last month. One on a low side- branch that had died, growing at the base of the dead bit, out of what looked like healthy bark.

I really liked the voice over cooking style you added to this video! Love the video snippet at the end as well. Gotta go out and get off that couch!
