A plant that can be eaten in the wilderness! An easily foraged wild edible in the bushland of Australia is the berries of blackberry plants. It's now early summer in Australia and we're anxiously waiting for the blackberry plants to mature so they can produce their succulent fruits. I've always wanted to try making tea from the fresh growth leaves of young blackberry plants; in this video I try it for the first time. There are many articles online stating that blackberry leaf tea has medicinal values. I normally only drink expensive imported green & white teas, so I would honestly say that blackberry tea is pretty ordinary in taste ;-) But if you were out there in a real survival situation, making blackberry tea could be one way of passing time! LOL. In the meantime I'm gonna stick with professionally grown teas. Sadly we also found definite signs of illegal cray-fishing along with the some plastic and tin rubbish that some irresponsible campers had left behind. I suspect this area of the creek has been completely fished out, Australia's Euastacus spiny crayfish are a very vulnerable species.

Nice camp, you set yourself up very well. Good tips and sharing your outdoor experience =)

They're all over rail tracks in NSW, my cousin and I used to pick them off the hawksberry line years ago.

I am a new subscriber to your channel and am going back and watching your earlier vids as well as your up to date ones ! Really enjoy your content and am going to watch many more of your past vids and learn all I can about your channel and your adventure!

Anytime you have a chance to get away is a good time no matter the weather. I wish we could get out as often as you guys do. I appreciate that you bring us along. God bless and stay safe.

you're lady didn't seem to be very pleased to be along this round...

haha, great video though. nice work.

i'm inspired by this vid to start carry a small grate and make my own grill like this.

That's roughing it for sure. I didn't think the blackberry tea would be any good. We're awash in blackberry bushes and nobody uses them for anything.
