great audiobook

I found this fantastic, thank you! very helpful on all major topics, full of detail. highly recommended

The great gathering that will be.

This book is a great resource for living off the land in the North West region. It is very detailed about what is edible and what to stay away from.... I tried a couple of the recipes and they are quite tasty. I guide for anyone camping or living off the grid.

Fantastic Listen

I have always been interested in learning basic skills that would come in handy to be a little more self-sufficient, and this book blew my mind. The author was very thorough and explained things at a beginner level. I also love the section that discussed the health benefits of foraging—a joy to listen to.

Amazingly healthy taste!

Amazing! I and my wife loved that book. Such interesting and healthy recipies. I opened something new. My family loves that kind of healthy food that nature can share with you. There are very detailed explanations and recipes that make this book so enjoyable. I love tea, and this book gives so many other options for adding ingredients from nature. It also provides you with places where you can get those flowers or plants, so your trip will be filled with more interesting activities and knowledge, putting you one step ahead in living a healthy lifestyle.

Perfect for beginners

Overall good lesson. Found a lot of useful information. Really enjoyed the recipes at the end that maybe you are a little more abstract sounding due to the ingredients but excited to try them! Narration was just a bit slow for me so I did increase the speed.

Great Resource For Harvesting.

With the current pandemic and supply chain issues America is facing right now, I have been looking for a good harvesting book like this to show me what to harvest and how to do it properly so you can better the environment. It also tells you about common poisonous plants, and how to find out if a plant is poisonous. Great book!

Thorough and enjoyable listen

I love how thorough this book is. I have often worried about foraging and being sure not to harvest anything poisonous. This book does a great job at helping to distinguish between edible and poisonous plants as well as details on how to ethically harvest plants. With this I won’t have to worry about what is safe to forage and it has recipes so I can put my harvest to use. Highly recommend.

Smart survival guide

Any book that makes you less likely to die in the woods is a winner to me! Lol. Seriously, I get really into this kind of survival knowledge, and this book provided a bunch of stuff I didn't know. Really helpful if you are going camping, or if you just like to get nerdy about living in the woods. Fun listen too - great narration.

Incredible Information!

Awesome book!
First of all, I really loved the narrator. Never heard Jackson Baker's voice before, but he sounds like someone I'd love to go out hiking and foraging with:)
Now for the book itself: This is a part of my research on eating clean paleo. This lifestyle has pushed me into exploring wild caught meats and fish. But recently, it came to mind that if I'm gonna ask the men in my family to go hunt and fish for me, I can supplement our new natural diet with "whiled caught" plants as well. While I'm not interested in going out hunting for food, I'm most definitely willing to forage for my berries and herbs. I'm interested in all edible berries, as they are paleo-friendly, as well as greens that I can use fresh in my salads and soups/stews. This is really exciting for me! After I listened to this book, a very real, practical plan has formed and I think I'm gonna be venturing out in the wild within the next couple of weeks. I just need to do a bit more research on what's in season. With a solid guide on how to recognize poisonous plants, I have much more confidence that I can do this.
A nice surprise was a chapter on preservation and preparation. I was mostly thinking about recognizing and harvesting the plants that I want, but now that I've listened to the book, I realized that there is a bit more to my foraging project than what I thought:) And this book has what I'm gonna need to prepare for it.
I have to say that everything in this book is fantastic information, well thought out and researched. However, I was hoping for information about mushrooms. Actually, that was my main interest when I picked up this book, so I'm a bit disappointed. I really hope that Paul Macy follows up this great guide with one on mushrooms, becasue I'm gonna be the first to get it.
The bottom line - your teas, your kitchen and even your medicine cabinet could be freshly stocked with the help of this foraging guide. If you are not specifically looking for mushrooms, I highly recommend this book!

Great survival guide

Eating the wrong plants in the wild could kill you! This is an essential guide for you to identify edible plants. Really helpful if you are into the outdoors, camping etc. The explanations were very beginner friendly and very thorough. A great listen overall.
