As our economy gets closer to collapse maybe we all should be prepared for the day when we have to forage the woods for food. I saw this ad and thought it was interesting. I don't need the cards myself as I already consider myself an outdoor survival expert. When I was a boy my grandparents would take me mushroom hunting in the woods of Indiana and Michigan and thought me how to tell the edible wild mushrooms from those that were poisonous. We never got sick so I guess they knew what they were doing.
Description
Featuring 52 different edible plants found in the North American wilderness, Edible Wild Foods Playing Cards deck is full of valuable information!
Each edible plant is shown in a full-color photograph for easy identification. A map identifies the geographic areas where the plant grows in the wild. The card face explains warnings, characteristics, uses, plant parts, aliases, and special cooking hints. For example, the stems, leaves, flowers, and hips of roses can be eaten raw, sautéed or steamed.
Edible Wild Foods deck comes with a key chain to keep the cards handy during hikes and camping trips. This deck is ideal for hikers, campers, scouts, survival experts, and parents wanting to teach their children about the abundance of wild food around them.
