Edible Plants of the Eastern Woodlands: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species (Pathfinder Outdoor Survival Guide)
Description
In a survival situation, exertion and caloric output have to be constantly weighed against the caloric gain. Edible plants are often the most accessible and intelligent food choice, provided you are aware of a plant's nutritional value. Knowing which plants are edible and their relative caloric value is key to determining what to eat. This simplified, laminated guide focuses on 23 common plants that are widespread in the eastern woodlands of the United States (though many are found in other locations as well) and how to harvest and prepare them. It also includes information on the caloric values of different plant parts and dangerous plants to avoid. Developed in collaboration with noted survival expert and master woodsman Dave Canterbury, this is one of a 10-part series on survival skills. Made in the USA.

In the event of the apocalypse, you’ll want one. On a serious note, this is something you’ll want if you camp or hike regularly

Great for a Scout in your Family, or just for anyone interested in the great outdoors or survival type situations.
I got this for my Grandson who is in Scouting. I am a certified Herbalist and he has shown an interest in edible wild plants. He was over the moon to receive this. I trust this to help him when I am not with him in the woods. Dave Canterbury knows his stuff. I trust that he will use this for years to come.
