Just watched your tutorial on The Mahoe Plant. Thank you for sharing what you know. Made me feel more connected to Papatūānuku. Tane Mahuta. Really important to have someone like yourself to keep korero like this alive, even if your pronunciation of them was a little titaha. lol. Would watch more most definitely

Thanks, Glen, I do intend to video an attempt to start a fire using a bow drill so helpful to understand the best woods.

I spent my early working life first as a labour in Pureora Forest back in the early 70's. From there with young people that showed some initiatives they were culled out and depending on their school qualifications they were sent to one of 3 different Forestry Schools of learning. One was simply known as Forester training school a flasher name for Unie. The other was Forest Research Institute or (FRI) in Rotorua. The 3rd category were like the sargents to the rest of the lower ranks in forestry Service who made good field supervisors and if they had the willingness and initiatives to advance in some other fields the opportunity was there if given that church. There were two of these schools one being in Golden Downs South of Nelson the other being in Kaingaroa both called The Woodsmen Training Schools or (WTS). At these schools 15 to 19 year olds spent 2 years at these hostels learning all aspects of Forestry both Pines and Native flora and fina before going out for a final 3rd year of Forestry basses all over both Islands. One had to know the Botanical, Maori and Common names to all the trees but learning their uses were never taught to the student, I guess the student picked it up had they a use for it later in life. I know the White wood in fact I learnt a long time ago that it was not good to use to light a fire with in the high country if one had a preference of other dry woods. What I mean is Lemon wood did not have the guts to heat a billy of water over uuummm say dry supplejack steams found of the ground for example. But had I know it was the way to start a fire all those years ago I'd sure would have used it therefore having spent many many freezing nights out there in our cold as night without warmth. Thank you for sharing what the senior Rangers may have or never taught us 40 odd years ago! I find these things fascinating now wondering why one never took more notice back then :)

They are not known to be edible to humans, and there is no record of their use by either Māori or Pākehā.

Not sure mate. Have never tried to eat the berries as i have never come across any information on their ediblity. I haven't seen anything stated about them being poisonous either. As far as how they would taste, i have no idea.

trees that when rubbed together bring fire. Mahoe tree, the Tōtara, the Patete, the Pukatea, and the Kaikōmako trees, all round Aotearoa, Mahoe is a very special tree that is the best soft wood for making fire by friction, This method was called te hika ahi meaning generating fire via the fire plough method. A completely dry slab of Mahoe wood is used as the bottom piece, this bottom piece is called kauahi. Pate / Patete / Schifflera Digitata another soft wood could also be used as kauahi. Te hika is the top piece of wood used and should be a hard wood like Totara / Podocarpus Totara. Kaikomako / Pennantia Corymbosa is said to be the best wood for generating fire.

Hello Toni, that is all 100% correct. Pukatea can be considered more of a softwood due to it having a light weight, and therefore used as the bottom piece when making fire. Cheers :)

@@KiwiBushcraftAndSurvival Can you confirm that Mahoe is hardwood or softwood? I am seeing different things from different sources... is there a reliable source where I can confirm that it is a softwood?

@@ResearchEmail-u1s Hey mate, yes I can. All trees come under one of two "Clades" Gymnosperms en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnosperm which are all SOFTWOODS. And Angiosperms en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_plant which are all HARDWOODS. Both Melicytus lanceolatus - Mahoe wao and Melicytus ramiflorus - Mahoe/hinahina/whiteywood are both hardwoods. Here is a link to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melicytus_ramiflorus just scroll down the right side to see Clade: Angiosperms and this will confirm 100% that Melicytus ramiflorus is a hardwood. You can do this with all other trees to help you identify scientifically if a tree is hardwood or softwood. Once I learnt this process, it has helped me significantly for this particular purpose. I hope it also helps you also, cheers. As you probably know, many old books and even many knew books have the wrong information that has been passed down throughout history. I don't think its intentional, its just that much incorrect information is passed down from generations from incorrect observations or misunderstandings during communications and language differences and sometimes just a lack of knowledge of new data. Gymnosperms are (Softwoods), and Angiosperms are (Hardwoods). In addition to the above video, Podocarpus totara - Tōtara is a Gymnosperm and therefore NOT a hardwood but actually a softwood and was therefore most likely used as the base board. I previously edited these changes in the video discription below the video once I was able to confirm the facts.

@@ResearchEmail-u1s You're welcome. I won't be doing any video's in the near future as I too busy prepping as best I can, due to global issue. I am glad to hear you have enjoyed the videos. Once the global issues are ressolved on a major scale, then I will do more videos. But for now my priorities are prep, prep and more preps.
