Foraging

Foraging is knowing the right and wrong plans to eat in the wild to save your life from starvation and poisoning. It allows you to feed yourself in the wilderness by gathering edible and medicinal plants.

Learn plants that are abundant in your environment, have good nutritional value and are not easily mistaken for deadly poisons like hemlock.

"The wild edible plants that most people regard as weeds have more nutrition then the vegetables that we buy at the grocery store. Before the advent of grocery stores our ancestors foraged for vegetables in their back yards. We have lost that knowledge, as it is no longer taught to our children. 

The simple fact is that by the time vegetables reach a grocery store the majority of the nutrition is gone so we would be much better off going out into the back yard harvesting fresh weeds (as most people call them)."
