How To Identify Wild Edibles & Medicinal Plants - A Full Video Guide

hey guys this is josh here with trillium oiled edibles and today i wanted to go through the identification of nine wild edibles and medicinal plants plus one plant and his film for constantly induces allergies so without further ado let's get started [Music] and today I want to do a short little identification video on cleavers or gallium a Perrine of a plant that we're looking at directly in front of us is called cleavers or by a scientific name gallium a Perrine there are plenty of cleavers within this family this is a very large extended family and there are multiple variations of this plant now in many states this plant is actually known as a noxious weed and it does spread rather easily however it is edible and it does have a couple of edible parts now when it comes to cleavers there are two different edible parts one is going to be the seeds or what's called the fruit and the other is going to be the young shoots this is a little too late for the early shoots however the tender tops of this plant are still technically edible though they might be a little stringing if you're going to eat these you would actually want to boil them for about five to ten minutes until they become tender to your liking but let's say you don't know how to identify a cleaver and you want to know if this plant that you're looking at is a cleaver so let's take a closer look at this plant in front of us now now one of the distinct things about cleavers is their growth pattern within the leaves one thing you may notice is that these leaves are growing in a whirl and it basically means the leaves are growing in a circular pattern around the stem or a rosary pattern around the stem just like you can see here these lasers are very long they're very narrow they're lancia late and shape the reason I say lancia late instead of Lance shaped is because they're long and they're narrow on cleavers you're going to find anywhere from seven to eleven leaflets growing in this world pattern around the main stem just like you can see here now if we look at the world's or the leaf patterns on this plant we're going to notice that they spread down every one and a half to two inches and then as you get further down the plant they get more and more sparsely populated meaning that they're spread out more and more now if we take a very close look at the plant known as cleavers or gallium a Perrine whenever it is in flower you're going to know a very very tiny cluster just like you can see right here of white for peddled flowers and they generally will grow out of the nodes of the leaf stems or where the Worlds come out of the main stem of the plant just like you can see right there at the tip of my index finger now these flowers are so small that it's actually very hard to show them in great detail on camera just because of how small they really are thankfully there are plenty other discerning features about cleavers mainly the way it grows not many plants will grow the way that cleavers grow however let's take a look at some of the other more indefinite Clues that we're looking at a plant known as cleavers okay now if we take another very close look at the plant known as cleavers we're going to notice running along the stem these stiff little bristles and this is actually one of the reasons this plant has this name is because these bristles catch on things very well especially your shins and whether they catch on your shins they will cause little cuts similar to what looks like from tiny little knives right here I'll demonstrate the catching ability of cleaver so you can understand what I mean these things clean to skin they clean to clothing they clean to everything now another really unique feature about the cleaver plant is that it does have a square stem this is one of the few plants that has a square stem that isn't actually within the mint family to my knowledge there are a few plants that have square stems but generally most people want to identify and mint just because it has a square stem now another thing you might notice just like you can see here in this view you can also see that those bristle II hairs also run along each one of the leaves on the margins [Music] and in this video we're going to go through three different kinds of chickweed that you're probably going to be finding two of them are going to be found in your yard or around barns or mulching or landscaped areas and one is going to be commonly found in the woods and the Eastern woodlands especially so without further ado let's get started now there's very small and low delicate plants that we're looking at are called chickweed this is common chickweed and a good thing about common chickweed is that it's not only very common but it's also edible and extremely delicious this is a plant that you can very easily teach your children about and it's very easy for them to identify and it's also very quick to collect now here if we look really close on this chickweed you're going to notice one thing first and foremost about the leaves if we look at this plant from the top one thing that we're going to notice is it has very simple leaves these leaves are landscape and they also grow opposite just like you can see here how they grow up on opposite sides of the stem now if you look very closely these opposite growing leaves we're also going to notice that they clasp the stem meaning they don't really have a petiole or any leaf stem that attaches them to the main stem or the main stalk of the chickweed plant you may also notice on the edges or the margins of these leaves how they're simple there's no teeth they're absolutely smooth there's nothing on the sides of these leaves they have no lobes the underside of the leaves is just a normal underside of a leaf it's very lightly green there's no discerning features on the underside of this leaf however there is a look-alike a toxic look-alike two chickweed that's called scarlet pimpernel it doesn't grow where I live however it might where you live the discerning feature is on the underside of the leaves so any time you're picking chickweed make sure you take a look at the underside of the leaves because scarlet pimpernel has red spots on the underside of its leaves whereas chickweed does not just like you can see here now at the top of this plant here you can see these little buds these are what's left of the flower buds because this plan is already flowered so this plant is in the process of producing seeds or it's in the process of getting ready to flower just depends on which stage this particular plan is at however whenever it comes to chick weeds flower and one thing you might notice about the flower is not only is it white but it looks like it might have ten petals however there's actually only five petals on this flower they just have a divide that makes it look like there's ten now another thing you might notice on this chickweed is how large these leaves are this is growing in a much more shaded environment that also receives a little bit more moisture however it's right next to my trash can so I don't eat it but this just goes to show that sometimes chickweed can be very very large in size now one really nice thing about chickweed is that it adapts itself very easily to all kinds of soils so you can very easily grow this in a container if you wanted to all you have to do is simply find some chickweed that is past its flowering stage like you see here with all of these buds then you would simply pull the tops of them up like this all you simply have to do once you have these is like I said simply just shake the plant inside of a bag or a container and then you can collect the seeds and plant them wherever you want to grow chickweed alright so now that we've taken a look at common chickweed let's go take a look at the second type of chickweed that's called mouse ear chickweed okay here we are a little further down in my yard towards the middle of the lawn actually and here is a huge rosette or a huge clump of this mouse ear chickweed now all intents and purposes mouth your chick wheat is just as edible and most of it looks the exact same you might be able to notice a difference here in the way that it grows this looks kind of scraggly one other major difference with mouth your chick weed over common chickweed is the fact that mounts your chick weed like you can see here has all these little hairs and little fuzz running along the side of it one issue about these is that it doesn't make it as palatable whenever you go to eat it roll and I also find that mountie or chick weed is also a lot tougher and taste on my opinion a little more like hey smells everything on Mount Seir chick weed is almost the exact same as common chickweed - the hairs the flower is the exact same shape as you can see it does look like it has ten petals however it's just because of those splits within the petals its leaves as you can see here right behind the flower grow opposite of each other I pulled this little piece up you can also see these hairs a lot more you can also notice that the stem on mouth your chickweed is red whereas on common chickweed it's just green but here you may be able to see that the split in these petals isn't complete it doesn't go all the way down and there are only five petals now the third type of chickweed that we're going to be talking about today I like to call great star chickweed however you can also call it star chickweed this chickweed is very common any worth in the Eastern woodlands one thing you may notice is that its growth structure is very similar to regular chickweed it doesn't form the same dense clumps as you can see the small little rosette right in front of me however the flowers are very large as you can see these flowers are much larger than chickweed they're about the size of my thumbnail they do grow the same way and they are white they do have five petals that looks like ten because of those splits and just like regular chickweed delese are simple they're Lance shaped the margins are smooth and they also grow opposite of each other now a similarity between star chickweed and mouse here chickweed is the red stem like you may be able to see right here this is a very small low growing plant the stamens on the end of each pistils as you notice are red specks so they're much larger than regular chickweed so it's a lot easier to notice you can find this anywhere in the woodlands within moist low environments and also on sloping hillsides where it receives a lot of drainage and runoff you can see that this one is starting to produce some little buds right here so this one is probably about ready to go to seed soon and here's a little bit of a further back view so you can see just this one chick weed plant and what I mean by it doesn't grow in the same dense clusters that regular chick wheat or mouse your chick we do all of these umbrella-like leaves that we're looking at in front of us are called mayapple you can generally tell a mayapple because of these very distinct umbrella-like leaves now another thing you might notice if you look really closely at the top of the Mae Apple you can see that the leaves are fully connected in the center here you can see each one of these lobes that comes off that has another lobe on the end with these little bitty teeth that you can see running at the very end the tip of the leaf and if I remove this tulip flower you can see the actual stem right there this is the very butt end of the stem on the Mae Apple now one of the interesting things about the Mae Apple is that you're sometimes going to see one stem or two stems like you can see here and out of the node you're going to see the distinct flower of mayapple it hangs underneath these leaves like you can see here so it hides itself really really well and after this flower has been pollinated properly it'll produce a fruit now the fruit of the Mae Apple is what a lot of people try to eat and it is edible however it's not edible this time of year you have to wait until the later fall now if we take a really close look at this may Apple flower you'll notice that the petals are starting to lose their color and you may also notice this little fruit starting right here in the center of the flower this is very typical so this is a plant that we know is going to have a may apple fruit later on in the year the flower of Mae Apple is white and it will have anywhere from 4 to 7 petals on it another thing that we can notice is what's left of these pistols here inside of the flower right by this fruit now another really nice thing about Mae Apple is that it is a colonizing plant like you can see here all of these young little Mae apples starting to come up so everywhere you find them anywhere you find one may Apple you're going to be finding a lot more just like you can see here another thing about Mae apples is that sometimes they can hide mushrooms like morels they can also be hiding other plants that you might be after right there you guys can see a little bitty tree frog sitting on one of these Mae apples that's really cool I thought I'd show you that now another interesting feature at the end of the leaves you'll notice how these lobes have these divisions you'll see these lobes how they split apart like that at the end of each one of these leaflets here's one example of a really good colony - Mae Apple you can see this very large grouping all right in front of me here now I'm actually in a clearing however this clearing is starting to revert back to forestland and that's one of the reasons you have all of these Mae apples growing here now right here you guys can see some or these may apples growing right here along the edge of this road that I'm on and if you look over there in the trees you can see that this is a moist forest and you can generally find may apples and moist and even dry forests they'll grow almost anywhere and right there you guys can see another one of those flowers coming out of the Y joint of the stem on this Mae Apple and here is a really good look of another fruit that is just starting you can see the pistils on the inside of the flower right around the fruit and here again here's my hand for a comparison up against the size of these maple leaves so you can see just how big they really get but notice how most of these here have two stems generally what I've noticed with Mae apples is whenever I see one that has a wide branch just like this I generally will find fruits on it later in the fall so that's something to keep in mind whereas if we look at this one here in the back you can see it's just one Mae Apple stem there is no flower and there's no Y branch the ones with the Y branches I believe are female plants and the ones without them like this one here is I believe a male plant and you have to have the males and the females together for you to get the fruit and then now we also have this guy where it looks like one stand or you can see the other stem that was right here that broke off there you go you can see the broken stem and that blackened color there now like I said the Mae Apple is poisonous every plant part is poisonous except for the fully ripe fruit and the fruit will be ripened whenever it's skin gets yellowed not bright green so that's something to keep in mind this plant does have medicinal uses as well however we're not going to talk about that because this plant is generally used for cancer now again that this plant is used for cancer medicine so this isn't a plant that I know how to use personally and it's not one I recommend you mess with unless you have somebody who knows exactly how to use it and how to use it safely or two different types of Joe Pye weed within eastern United States one of them is called sweet Joe Pye weed and the other one is spotted Joe Pye weed this is called spotted Joe Pye weed because as you can see along the stem you can see these reddish purplish spots or splotches that run all up and down the length of the stem now sweet Joe Pye weed does not have this feature so that's something to keep in mind however both of these plants are both usable in the same way they both have good medicinal use now a lot of people confuse Joe Pye weed with a version of boneset because as you're driving by it or you walk by it it certainly looks like a huge gigantic version of boneset you can see these flower clusters here they're kind of blending in with the trees but here you can see that one up against the sky it's flower cluster looks very similar to bone set and it's leaf structure looks similar at a quick glance and the reason that is is because you see these very large leaves they look like they had the same texture but they don't these leaves kind at the top of them has a kind of leathery feel but it doesn't feel near as leathery as boneset the underside of the leaves on spotted Joe Pye we have these little bristles as you can see here whereas the top of them does not the top of these leaves are completely smooth another one of the big differences between boneset and Joe Pye weed is boneset or Thoreau wort as another name for boneset has leaves that are perforated by the stem whereas Joe Pye weed has a whirl of leaves as you can see here and see all these different little stems and each one of these has a leaf at the very end of them unspotted Joe Pye weed something you may notice is at the base of each leaf stem where it connects with a node to the main stand you may notice these little red or purple tinges that you can see here that's another identification factor of this plant there aren't too many plants that look similar to this like I said most people just confuse this with boneset and they have some kind of similar uses as far as promoting sweating both of these plants can make you sweat that's actually what Joe Pye used this Joe Pye was a 17th century white man who claimed he was an Indian medicine doctor when in reality he was just a white man who had some good knowledge of some botanical plants and herbs and he used this this Joe Pye weed to help treat typhoid fever now something else you may notice about Joe Pye weed is how large these leaves are here's my hand for comparison these leaves can get anywhere from 6 to 9 inches in length and they can get up to two and a half to maybe even three inches in width they're very long as you can see here they're lamp shaped or spear shaped so they have this very fine point on them the edges are the margins of the leaves are teeth or serrated just like you can see here all these little bitty teeth running up and down the side of this leaf the stem of Joe Pye weed can get very very big at the base as you can see here here's my middle finger for a comparison it gets pretty close to the same size just a little bit smaller than my middle finger so this stem can get about half an inch in diameter it's about the biggest I've usually seen it and here's one that's slightly bigger again for comparison there's nothing really unique about the stem of Joe Pye weed and shape it's just a nice round stem it's very stiff feels very solid however like poke weed it is still easily broken when the plane is growing so be careful of that Joe Pye we can get to a lot of varying heights but usually I see it growing anywhere from six to eight and a half feet tall you can see this huge plant here and I'm standing straight up right now and this thing is I swear guy this thing is almost ten feet tall this thing is absolutely huge so these things can get anywhere from 6 to 10 feet tall a lot of the areas I usually find Joe Pye weed growing or in clearings along the edges of tree lines like you can see here I'm in between two tree lines I'm actually on a trail I'm in the middle of the forest right now and there's a little bit of a clearing here and this is where the scope I weed is growing now you can find this stuff on the edges of fields you can find it in clearings in your yard this stuff will pretty much grow anywhere that it can now some of the uses of this plant like I said earlier you can use this plant to help induce sweating for colds or flus and it will help you to sweat most eupatorium species like boneset will also do the same thing and a lot of eupatorium after they've been studied and laboratory tests have been found to have a lot of immune boosting qualities so that's something else to keep in mind and that corroborates with a lot of historical uses for this plant for colds and flus as far as using this plant you can use the leaves and you can use the root however there are also historical documents that report various Native American tribes using the entire plant forties or washes or decay Asians so keep that in mind as well but there are not only different ways to use this plant but you can use the majority of this plant for what you need it for as far as the flowers on joepie week both of them have like a purple to paint kind of flower it's similar to iron weeds so it's like this magenta sort of color whereas boneset has a white flower so that's something else to keep in mind that if you see a plant with really huge flower clusters like this and it has purple or pink flowers it's most likely a Joe Pye weed and as you can see now these flowers have already gone and died there's nothing left except brown there's no colors there's no distinguishing colors left in these flowers however the distinct shape of this plant should be more than enough for you to be able to identify it because it is a really easy plant to identify and it doesn't have any toxic look-alikes to my knowledge you only look like it does have as boneset and they do share some similar uses so that's kind of a good thing actually now it's in the United States there are two different types of plantain that you're probably going to be running across more often than not now the point that we're looking at here is broadly plantain or plant ah go major now each plantain is very easy to identify and there are any look likes to my knowledge within the United States this is called broadleaf plantain because as you can see it has these very broad oval or egg-shaped leaves you can see they're shaped just like an egg and the veins in these leaves as you can see start at one point at the petiole of the leaf stem and then they rise outward they radiate a little bit outward and then they all come together towards the tip of the plant now the sides of the margins of the leaves of plantain are going to be smooth you're not going to see any teeth or serrations along the edges or the margins of these leaves however you may notice like you can see here in this one decides a margins of the leaves can be a little wavy in look or appearance earlier in the year this plant has a flower spike a very distinct flower spike that's coming up out of the center of the rosette however it doesn't have its flower spike now but I will put a picture down below in the right hand corner so you guys can see what that looks like now the broadleaf plantain usually grows in a basal rosette pattern as you can see here these leaves are growing in a circle around the main tap root of the plant and that's what makes this a basal rosette one of the good things about plantain as you can see here is it's constantly spinning up new tender young leaves it's like you can see this little bitty guy here and the good thing about that is is this plan is not only edible but it's also medicinal in the edible parts of the plant are these young tender leaves before they get too stringy whereas here on this big leaf you can see these huge veins that run through this leaf and these veins are responsible for the strings which you can see those strings on the backside of the plant here now broadleaf plantain and narrow leaf plantain are both in the exact same family that commercial psyllium is gathered from and here you can see the seed spike that's left from plant augo major and these seeds can be undoubtedly used the same way as psyllium husk or psyllium fiber and that's one of the many uses of this plant for food besides using the young tender leaves for a salad is that you can use these seeds as a psyllium substitute and now when it comes to medicine this plant is very well known within the herbal community because of how effective it is as well as how mild and gentle and safe this plant is whenever you use it for medicine this plant can be used for medicine internally and externally so that's we're really really good thing about this plant as far as using it it's useful for an astringent it's very very good for drawing out infections or boils or zits you can use this to make a rheumatism wash or a poultice this will help to cool the pain of rheumatism this will help to relieve inflammation of Burns insects stings and things of that sort because it is very cooling it's a stringent in nature which means that it contracts the skin or a contract or has contracting agents within it so if you need to check diarrhea this plant can help do that also its leaves and root is very high in new cyllage so this plant is also very soothing to inflamed mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and that's another thing this plant can be useful is for colds and flus to help you ease a discomfort or hoarseness of your sore throat and when it comes to using the plant for medicine the entire plant can be used you can use the leaves you can use the stem you can use the flowers you can use the seeds you can use the root you can use all of this plant for medicine however my favorite thing to do is just pluck off any good looking leaves like you can see here because this plant will continue to put out new weeds all throughout the entire growing season so the good thing about that is if you just keep plucking the leaves we're going to have a constant supply of plantain growing in your yard or is if you take the root you are going to kill that plant not to worry though because this is a noxious weed and as a matter of fact the natives of North America called this plant white man's foot because it went everywhere we went so this plane is extremely noxious and you're not going to kill it in any way now the second major type of plantain that you're going to be running across is called longleaf or narrow leaf plantain or plant I'll go lanceolata now as you can see here it looks somewhat similar to the broadleaf plantain or plant I'll go major and the fact that it does grow in a basal rosette around the tap root of the plant the veins of the leaf which are responsible for streams all start at the petiole and run somewhat parallel to each other all the way to the very tip of the leaf longleaf plantain has very long linear shaped leaves as you can see here nd sides or the margin of the leaf is going to be smooth you're not going to notice any teeth or serrations on these leaves either however as you may notice here you may see on the surface of the leaves all of these little bitty hairs a little fuzz you may notice how the underside of leaves on narrow leaf plantain are smooth they don't have any of those hairs however those discerning ribs or veins are still there and these are responsible for the streams in this plant as well just like its larger leaf brother this plant will spit up new leaves all throughout the growing season so that makes it a really really good plant to use for medicine you can use all of this plant including the root however I like to harvest it the same way I like to just use very tips these young leaves and any good looking leaves like you can see here the reason I like to do that is because again this plant will continue to spit up leaves all throughout the growing season so I have a continuing supply of these plants another unique feature about plantain is on the petiole towards the base of the root you're going to notice usually a red pinch or purple tinge like you can see here and it's going to fade as it goes up and turns in to the leaf itself on some leaves this tinge may be very dark like you can see here or it may be very light like you can see here on some leaves it can be absent altogether like you see in this one here now this point shares a lot of similar uses with its larger leaf brother however a lot of people end up using this plant more often than broadleaf plantain and some field guides and some sources will say this plant is just a little bit more effective in my experience though I don't notice much of a difference in the effectiveness between narrow leaf plantain and broadleaf plantain so that's something you may want to keep in mind and something you may want to experiment with usually I use both of these plants together any time I'm using plantain a couple ways that you can tell this one of the first and foremost is these leaves may notice on this leaf that there are three lobes may notice how they come to kind of like a point on the sides are the margins of these leaves you're going to see these very fine serrations or teeth running all the way down the side some of these leaves can get really really big like you can see here and this is one of the reasons it's called giant ragweed another one of the reasons is because it can grow all the way up to 15 feet tall and if you live anywhere in the Corn Belt of the United States you're probably going to see this plant growing along the edge of cornfields and pretty much anywhere else it can grow this thing is obnoxious as it can be and one of the most obnoxious things about this plant and surprisingly enough this plant is the main cause for late summer allergies usually this plant is in full bloom and its pollen is spreading the same time you see the golden rods out a lot of people miss blame the goldenrod for for summer allergies when in reality it's this plant now there's also common ragweed which is a little smaller its leaves look very very very different from this though like I said on the giant ragweed you're going to notice three lobes you may also even notice some of these very large leaves with even five lobes the leaves on this plan are extremely variable you can see here on the same plant there's one late that's just of eight or lamp shade that doesn't have any lobes at all now granted this leaf has been chewed a little bit but it only has four low instead of three or five so you're going to notice a lot of variation in these leaves so don't really count on a distinct number of lobes whenever you find this plant right now I'm about 20 feet back or more from these plants and you can see just how much they stick out you can see how large those leaves really are they're absolutely huge now some of the very unique features about this plant as far as identification is concerned is these very fine bristles running up and down the stem these bristles are very stiff and they feel sort of like velcro in my opinion I don't know if you can hear that but the more you rub them you may also notice that they kind of rub off a little bit you can see how it's now missing those bristles there I'm not sure exactly what these are what these bristles are supposed to do they don't sting in any way they feel this kind of rough and Scratchy more than anything and you'll also notice these little bristles on the leaves so if you can see them there they're very hard to see you'll notice on the top and on the bottom you'll notice how small these are on the very bottom but they do feel kind of rough and almost like sandpaper the leaves have a feeling of sandpaper in my opinion you can hear that whenever I rub in you can see these may be able to see these little bristles here you see those bristles running down the veins there in the back of the leaf these are what's responsible for that rough and sandpaper you like feeling and on the stand like I said you're going to notice these little fine bristles or little hairs running all up and down this plant you're going to notice them even on the leaf stems you may also notice that this plant grows with an opposite leaf structure meaning that its leaves grow on opposite sides of the stem just like you can see here and it does this all the way up the plant I'll show you a couple more in the area and sometimes you might actually even find them alternating but usually they grow in this opposite pattern at least every time I see giant ragweed its leaves are always opposite here on this one you may see this red tens running along here on the leaf stem that's another feature that you might see on some of them and some of them you might not this plant has a lot of variations and one of its Latin names its first Latin name is ambrosia so this is an ambrosia species and a lot of Ambrosia's are in the Astor family meaning that they are very notorious for producing of not just pollen and when that time comes the pollen is going to come out of these flower buds now right now these are budding these haven't even started flowering yet but when they do and they start releasing their pollen all you have to do is touch this plant and you're just going to see pollen flying out you can see this yellow like pollen flying out everywhere and that's what's responsible for your summertime allergies here you can see this yellow greenish flower starting to come out on this little bud here this one's about ready to start flowering here you can see even more of these little yellow or greenish yellow greenish flower buds that are starting to come out in this hole this spike right here all these little bitty green ball like things will eventually turn yellow and those are the flows are going to be the flowers that's where the pollen is going to release from this plant can be so obnoxious and you may be able to tell just how many flower clusters are trying to start right here there's one two three four five six seven seven or more flower clusters just right here at the top and then at the end of each leaf node or at the end of each leaf stem like you can see here another flower bud is starting if we go over here to the other side you see the same thing so this plant produces a lot of flowers and that means a lot of pollen so if you have late summertime allergies and you see this plant growing in your property get rid of it some people actually experience allergic reactions just simply by touching this plant so that's something else you may want to be cautious of so if you are allergic to this and you think you might be wear gloves whenever you pull it just to be safe so you don't get any possible allergic reactions I myself know I'm not allergic to it so I don't really worry about it but that may not be the case with you so it helps to be cautious and you can see another one here getting ready to start flowering as well I can see there's a little bit of yellow greenish like flower buds starting there's a really detailed close-up of the start of these flower buds in these flower clusters you can see the little hairs these little bristles here you can see another really good close-up of the flower of ragweed now this plant does supposedly have some medicinal uses I am Not sure of what those uses are because I don't use it however this point does have another use that I will talk about that I am attempting to try to use it for supposedly the stem because it's very stiff and almost woody can hear in or like lick it it kind of sounds like wood and one of the good uses of this plan is you can supposedly use it for atlatl darts which I hope so and that's kind of one of the reasons I'm letting a lot of it grow so I can hopefully get myself a good source of atlatl darts how well it'll work I'm not quite sure yet but supposedly it was used pre in prehistoric times for atlatl darts so maybe some of you guys who might be a little crafty may be able to may be able to get some sort of arrow out of this as well I don't I don't quite know it may be something that's worth checking into it is very very very stiff I mean it might work in survival situations it might not be a good permanent arrow or a good permanent out loud dart but it might work perfect for survival situations [Music] [Music]
