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 waterproof 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.
