Nice clear video, no nasty camera shaking all over the place and we get to see exactly what you are talking about. T^

[Dave ward]

Thanks SteveW :) glad you liked it. I wanted to get right up to the plants to show what to look for and how to prepare them etc got another video I'll be uploading tonight on to here and my channel. Thanks for watch buddy! :)

[SteveW]

No problem:) having said that though, I'd take some serious convincing that eating Dandelion leaves was a good idea, every time Iv'e tried they have tasted minging ;)

[Dave ward]

Ha ha yeah they dont taste great! I boiled up some roots the other week, and I not be making them a regular side order believe me!

Great vid really enjoyed it.

Dave the roots are better if you dry them first. Grind them up but not to fine and then add them to boiling water. Let them dry again and then take them with you as a substitute for coffee just add a pinch of sugar and it doesnt taste too bad as the first boil removes the harsh bitterness.

[Dave ward]

Thanks for the tips bushcraftcambsuk :) I think I'll give that ago and see what they taste like. Ive only ever boiled the roots (changing the water to remove bitterness)

Interesting.But I'd always been told never eat anything with a milky sap?????????

[Silverback]

Dandelion and Burdock....dandelion coffee....dandelion is perfectly edible but can have a diuretic quality...but it won't make you wet the bed if it touches your skin ;)

[Dave ward]

Ha ha yeah I didnt wet the bed on this occasion! Midas, that generally is the rule, but dandelion "milk" "sap" is safe to eat. Infact the sap is high in vitamins and minerals and is also a medicinal plant also. Sapper is the guy to ask about how to use it medicinally.
