Re: Does anyone gather wild foods?
I do not know of a book about collecting wild food. There are some good ones about mushrooms. However I do hunt and that is such a cost saving thing. I know that it is not the most popular thing lately but Let me tell you I can get between 75-200 lbs of meat and it will last me all year. No more $12 steaks at the store.
Also you get out and get good exercise and it is free. Hunting will cost some up front but within a year you have recouped the costs.
If you are not interested in the idea of hunting, find a friend, family, or coworker that does. Buy a license and let them fill it for you. That way you get the food and they do the work.
Besides you can also find a lot of other wild foods out there and a lot of money savings. I have saved about $200 since January on not having to buy meat.
