A recent walk through my local fields and woods hunting for edible fungi.

It's still relatively early for the main harvest but it was great to find a respectable amount of edibles.
We have had a really dry Summer and the first rains of any consequence fell a week or so ago. Since then I've noticed a few fungi popping up on my lawn and on roadsides so a trip out looking for edible fungi was a fairly safe bet.
The two edible species found today were Field Mushroom and Cep / Penny Bun / Porcini.
The rod and reel I was using to catch the Lord Trout is an awesome combo and the review video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TqramHPKrs&t=44s
Links to all the gear is in the video description of that video.
The spinner I was using in this video is a gold size 2 Fox Vibrax spinner and can be found here (Ebay): https://ebay.us/iId2YP

On a serious note, it is very important to learn as many 'outdoor' skills as you can since you never know when you need them.
Having knowledge of natural environments, shooting, trapping and fishing are literally life-saving skills since without them we die when the current system of on-demand food and easy shopping goes away.....and it will go away at some point - do you want to be the guy fighting a hungry 300lb man-monster for the last packet of Super Noodles in an empty supermarket or do you want to be prepared?
It's a simple choice.
Knowledge is power but we're 'educated' to exist in the system without being taught what the system is and how to navigate the (obvious) pitfalls.
Knowledge costs nothing and can be carried in the mind, given away for free and used to combat ignorance - it's a great deal but takes time and effort.

To be honest I've not much idea of what Rumble is or does but it seems quite popular among people more tech-savvy than me....and somehow plenty of people have already found the videos judging by the views (and 'Rumbles'?).
Both Odysee and Rumble have new videos uploaded to them as soon as they upload on YouTube.
