Which Edible Plants Can I Eat in the Wilderness?

Share Your Best Sources for Edible Plants

A few years ago, I saw the movie "Into the Wild", the story of Christopher McCandless, A.K.A., Alexander Supertramp. While the movie can serve as inspiration for wanderlust, it's also a cautionary tale on what to put in your mouth when food is scarce.

This is a topic that has fascinated me because it really could make or break you if you're in a survival situation and have to rely on nature for nourishment.

Below are some books I've read on edible plants in the wilderness - what can kill you and what can keep you alive.

• The Forager's Harvest: A Guide to Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Edible Wild Plants
• Edible Wild Plants: Wild Foods from Dirt to Plate
• A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and Central North America

OK, please share your sources. I am looking forward to hearing your input.
