Yucca is a plant which provides a wide variety of resources for survival, including food, soap, and tinder. Survivalist Bob Hansler shows that there is also a sweet liquid inside of the yucca plant, and gives instructions on how to harvest and peel the plant to access it in case of dire thirst. The stalks can also be charred and fermented in order to produce alcohol. The seed pods and blossoms are also edible, and each is edible at a different time during the season.
Key Takeaways:
- Yucca is a versatile plant that can provide food, tinder, cordage and other useful things.
- Yucca grows widely in the desert, and you can peel the raw stalks and chew them to get a tasty, sugary liquid.
- Yucca seed pods and blossoms are also edible, although different parts of the plant are edible at different times of year.
“Bob says the stalks can be charred over a fire and left to ferment, producing a primitive alcohol. The yucca is a relative to the agave plant, which we all know is the source of tequila, so it’s not too surprising that it can be used to make some DIY booze.”
