This episode i give an intriduction to the now trendy past time of foraging.
Good rule of thumb, if the goat wont eat it, you probably shouldnt either.
Once it was a matter of survival and now hot shot resturants will will source local forage materials. With good pair of shoes and willingness to learn foraging is an important notch in being self reliant.
If you can feed yourself thats a huge source of security and peace of mind.
Good books for reference of identification:
