I'm so happy to see this ! was not available anywhere
Fantastic show
Living from Solar learning what wild edibles could be as valuable one day soon
Lots of mushrooms around here idk them so I don’t touch like you said
I can't say for sure that this is Oregon, but I'm proud you've called my home state your second home. Especially Southern Oregon and the Rogue Valley. Hoping you can highlight more desert areas from north eastern, Central eastern and south eastern Oregon.
Absolutely the best!!!
Awesome video Les, and it's fantastic to see you using food I grew up with in a region I grew up in! It's always funny, as an indigenous wildlife bio, I love seeing videos in my region. It becomes a game of trying to find your exact spot for most of the shots. Funnily enough, I can pinpoint most of these shots as I've worked on bighorn sheep in majority of them. I've also picked all through here with my grandmother as a kid. We have different ways of cooking Balsamroot, and we pick it at a different time of year (a few weeks earlier), but it's awesome to see what you two were able to accomplish.
Next time you're in the area I would love to show you some of our more regionally specific traditional foods!
Hey… Les I love the PASSION you bring to the breakfast, lunch, and dinner table.😉 😊🌱
You don't realize just how far you and I go back but I'd say just guessing. More than 20 years. It's been a hell of a journey. I feel like we are family. I'm the brother you never knew you had. Much love & gratitude, Les. My best to you and your family.
Yes! I love opening the door to edibles!
Season 2 is finally here! Can't wait for the bear raid that was shown in the trailer.
This series is a masterpiece that every budding chef out there, professional, hobbyist, otherwise, should watch.
Love the show!
Woooooooh! I only just found wild harvest maybe a week ago and I watched and rewatched it. I’ve been ITCHING for this to drop for a whole four days hahaha. Amazing work Les and Paul do, inspirational and educational. Absolutely love it 🤙
P.S. I can’t find the physical form wild harvest cook book. I don’t do kindles, I need to have the pages. Can anyone help me find it?
yess my girlfriend and i love this show thank you les for continuing to upload them to youtube
An amazing episode, thanks so much!
I love the work that both of you are doing this is a great show
This made my friggin day. Your hardwork and are greatly cherished and appreciated!
The packaged nonsense of things like "Naked and afraid" makes something of value, like this, so SO much sweeter.
Truly grateful to see you both back. Missed seeing this show
Thanks for doing another season Les and Paul! Love this show almost as much as Survivorman!
Thank you! thank you! thank you, for doing an episode in the Columbia basin on Balsam Root. I haved loved your show but have lived worked and played in Idaho my whole life. I’ve know about the palatability of Balsam Root but had no idea how to try and approach preparing this wild edible.
I'm so glad your back with season 2
This show in particular is inspiring to me because of your location. I live in an area that is VERY similar to this – A semi-arid high country. I love sagebrush. The best part about excursions into our surrounding county side is coming home and even my boots have the perfume of sage on them. I have brewed beer seasoned with sage. Which, was very good, by the way. I am awakening every year more and more to the bounty we have in what seems a dry barren environment. Thank you for this series.
I live in Reno and the wild horses love the Balsam Root, and yes Sage Brush is everywhere, used to be invasive before it became the west.
Man that looks delicious. I was smiling and salivating and so hungry
Finally! Season 2 is here! I love this show!
A wonderful first Episode of season two. You masterfully bring these not so known plants to the table and in such a good way. Well done both of you. I look forward to more of the Wild Harvest.
Love this thank you Les and Paul
Can’t believe I just found this, real information like this is why I’ve always loved les and his contributions with nature and learning how to survive in it. He’s up there with Steve Irwin
Wow! I had no idea you have this channel, Les! I have Balsamroot growing on my property. I knew the root was good for your health but didn't know how to harvest or prepare it for consumption. I will have to give it a try now that I know what to do. My Dad was a restaurateur for 24 years, taught me how to cook and now that I've been on Keto for 5 years, learned a whole new way of cooking. Thanks so much for providing inspiration for me! I look forward to the adventure. 😁
Not one time did he say…..goood god damn chef! This tastes GREAT!……I almost feel bad for such a great chef not getting praised
Season 1 is great. Very excited about Season 2. Great job.
Exactly what I want to learn more about 😉 Scenery looks gorgeous
Big Idaho vibes but you say wine country. Eastern Washington?
What a treat, thank you!
You should start a business where you have people with schools all over North America doing survival and foraging classes under your name and brand. You'd recruit and verify competency, they'd teach classes and kick back some of the profits.
Love this!
finally season 2! I was wondering why you werent uploading this season on Youtube. I actually love this series more so than your survival stuff.
this is one of my favorite shows in many years…please keep it up. It is so relaxing and fascinating and inpiring. The tone is perfect
Have you ever watched a tv series and was so sad when it ended and had to wait ages for the new season? Well thats how I felt!!! Welcome back guys!! So good to see you both again!!!!!
Again, this is a genius idea for a show.
I am so happy to see season 2 on youtube!!! Loved season 1 so much!
It’s back! I loved season 1 so I’m so happy to see this!
I missed chef Paul 😭
Needs more wild and foraging less snooty cooking dude.
