Son_of_Caveman Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 While I'm a firm believer in using poles these days, I find the prices a nuisance. To combat this retail bloodletting I've been using just the snow baskets attached to a nice, straight piece of Devil's Club. Not only is it inexpensive (read free) and strong, but it also gives me a nice, non-slip grip. ...one other note; there's a high concentration of alcohol in Devil's Club. If pressed, one may make an incision and party down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 The latin name for Devil's Club is perhaps the most appropriate in all of the plant kindom: Applopanix horridum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Oplopanax horridum gets a bad rap. Closely related to ginseng (which is in the panax genus), it was considered one of if not the most powerful healing herb by Northwest natives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proper dosage for using Devil’s Club for ferrets is 5 drops, twice a day, 12 hours apart. Add it to a 50:50 mixture of A/D and water, slightly warmed. Most ferrets dive right in, and look for more. You hear that, Cpt.?? [ 05-01-2002, 10:53 AM: Message edited by: Son of Caveman ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Caveman Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I am one with Devil's Club. I think I have made that clear in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
