Here's mine. I was stuck in Tahuya, WA, in the rain and ran out of food. I had to walk to town, which meant the closest town, Belfair, because my business partner and car ride wouldn't be back for a couple of weeks. Belfair was a five hour walk. It rains all day, every day, at that time of the year, but I have no choice. As I am closing the door to the house, I look out towards the evergreen huckleberries and remember that although they were mealy and distasteful in September, I had read that they are delicious after the first frost. I walk towards the berries. Spectacularly sweet and tart. I have many bushes on my property and never went to Belfair. I stood in the rain like a happy bear, munching and smiling, for two weeks.

Just in time for bulking season!!!! Very Blessed to have these.

I've just moved and am trying to familiarize myself with the local edible and medicinal wild plants. Can anyone recommend a good guide to start with? Looking for identification and uses. I'd prefer a book vs an app. Thanks in advance!

I found a couple sources (this one and this one) that say you can make a tea from beech leaves in the winter. Has anyone tried this? I can't find any other sources that mention it, apart from a couple that specify only young leaves in the spring.

Also, does anyone have any other ideas for winter tea foraging in the Northeast area? So far I have sassafras, spicebush, sweet birch, eastern white pine, and juniper.

Hey guys, I have dropped a new video about drying and storing your acorn harvest. If you want to keep acorns for eating all year, this is essential knowledge. Let me know how these strategies work for you if you try them, or if you have other methods you like best! Hope this is helpful for you guys, and let me know if you have any questions for me about anything. https://youtu.be/eZJ36qbtQTE?si=eJ4LjSssRglN49OP

im considering just putting whole staghorn sumac into a peppercorn grinder, seeds and all.

has anyone ever processed sumac berries this way? as opposed to removing the seeds and that whole shabang

Hello! Apologies in advance. Just purchased a bushcraft wax canvas bag that clips onto a belt as a gift. Does anyone know of attachments if one does not wear a belt? Did not think of that prior so I came here in hopes of finding advice or other ideas/suggestions if possible! Thanks, happy foraging!

This is my first time finding one, and I'm stoked! Just not sure what to do with it.

I would like to try to make some authentic root beer for me and my friends to try. Are there any good locations in Texas that I can get sassafras I don’t need to be in a specific area. I’m good to travel a few hours with some friends.
