Keep Those Likes coming everyone! We have 4 more days to keep pushing that Like total up to get my kid planting as many trees as this video gets likes. We're hoping for 100, we're almost there!!

If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em.
Is it just me or is this dude on that pakalolo lol
Excellent
For the guinea grass, just blend the leaves In a blender to make a green juice. Mmm
Love this ! Thanks for sharing !! I love wild herbs and food .
Aloha! I hated the guinea grass all over our property until we got guinea pigs. It’s their favorite food – blades and especially the seeds!
subscribed immediately from Hilo
do you teach any classes beyond youtube?
aloha from Hilo . Please more of these videos.
would love to forage the island
Hono hono sap from stems is also good for healing minor cuts, scrapes etc.
Your doing a great service for all of us who admire the beauty of Bamboo. I have viewed many Bamboo videos on YouTube and yours is the most educational and inspiring to people with a love for Bamboo.
Keep it Up and Thank You.
I live in VeroBeach, FL and it grows well in this tropical climate.
I know its been a year but your boy gets to plant another tree
Love your channel! What precautions do you take regarding rat lungworm? Maybe you can do a video about this in the future since it impacts life here in Hawaii. Aloha and keep up the great vids:)
Outstanding!! You’re a champ!
Hila hila – also known as, Water mimosa.
Solid vid.
If u ever did a Pick, Clean & Cook on these weeds that would be sweet.
Awesome video!
Laukahi is good to smash up and put on open wounds too.
hilahila=sleeping grass
he teaches some valuable tips for living on the big island that most won't teach…..
Hila hila is used to make tea used in controlling blood sugar for diabetics in Indonesia.
Thank you, I am interested in knowing more about eatable plants.
Thank you so much for this! My kids immediately went in our yard and picked the pink flowers from the sensitive plant and sauteed them in butter and salt. That might detract a bit from the nutritional value but they thought they were delicious! They also picked guinea grass seeds but weren't quite as impressed with those. Unfortunately or fortunately those are the only edible weeds we have in our yard presently. We have lots of other ones though! I am enjoying your other videos, too! Hoping we can create a tropical food forest in the back yard at some point. We do have one pineapple that just appeared something in the middle (yay!) and the lilikoi just started attaching itself to the trellis! So excited! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for directing me to your channel! Great energy, great info!!! Mahalo!
You mention adding some of these to salads. Does that slug you have talked about that carries the rat lung worm disease not crawl on those plants?
New to your channel, thank you for all your words of wisdom and experience in this lifestyle. I'm 30 and been saving for my dream of living off grid on the island. I grew up in Hawaii and since lived in the main land. One day I hope to call you neighbor. 🤙
Know thy weeds, great advice and great video! What can be more satisfying than foraging in your own yard?
Hila hila is called moriviví here and it's a native plant. No idea the flowers were edible. Thanks for the info!
Hono Hono is called cohitre here and it is also native to the island. I love it in salads along with what we call here prenetaria (Peperomia Pellucida) which is another "weed" that grows around here and Malabar spinach. With a bit of salt and a spritz of lemon chef kiss is a delicious salad!
I had no idea purslane was edible or what was its name. I was wondering the other day because it is a tiny succulent or at least I looks like it belongs in the succulent family? It grows here like crazy, but I'm not sure if it's native.
Thanks for letting us know what is edible in the tropics. Look forward to more of these videos!
For reference, I live in Puerto Rico.
Honohono is edible?? I could jump for joy! Sharing knowledge of wild edibles keeps us, and our ancestral skills, alive 🙂
Put him to work on 😎🤙
