My family and I have been going on a lot more camping trips since the pandemic and we've often wanted to pick wild plants but didn't know what was safe to pick. This book is the ultimate beginners guide to foraging and explains everything you need to consider to forage safely and have fun. I love that this book discusses both what to look out for, as well as how to preserve what you forage and ways to enjoy different plants, fruits, etc. Now that we're more informed after reading this book, we can start foraging with confidence and enjoying this new hobby on our camping trips!

Perfect guide to discovering wild plants to eat
This listen was informative of all the wild plants you can consume from nuts and greens to mushrooms. Having listened and learned about foraging in the past really sparks going exploring for these plants. First, you can save money, and secondly, you can get healthier as long as you follow what is included in this book. This book allows you to get curious about nature and collect plants, nuts, and mushrooms to identify. It is a really interesting listen and a great to get people outdoors. Highly recommended!

Amazing knowledge.
This book is an excellent resource for learning the principles of wild foraging. This book covers a wide range of themes, which I appreciate. The author's suggestion for recipes for the plants you find, and how to utilize them was excellent.
This book will inspire your natural curiosity and help you gather identifications of plants, nuts, and mushrooms. It's a pretty fascinating podcast that's perfect for getting people outside.
I also like to thank the narrator for picking such a fascinating subject.
I heartily endorse it!

Excellent For Beginners
This is a great book to prepare you for foraging in the mountain west. I appreciate that this audiobook emphasized just how dangerous foraging could be if you haven’t properly prepared and researched. This book was very detailed in describing the right attire to wear when foraging, something missing in other foraging books I have read. This recourse teaches you how to work with your environment and not against it. Would highly recommend!

You'll be Amazed
I did a quick survival course in the Amazon Rainforest, but it wasn't extremely helpful for learning how to forage in the US. I have a little cabin in the mountains and always wanted to live off the land, and now I know how to do just that. The author clearly respects the land. I was happy to hear the ethics behind her approach and loved the recipe section.

Wow, very informative
I never knew about such discipline until last year. My younger daughter started scouting, and we visit the hoods close by regularly. I came across this book and decided to try something new. The information in this book will help you forage safely and enjoyably and serves as the definitive beginners' guide. This is what my intention initially was and I was not disappointed. I recommend this book.
The narration of the book was good and the voice was pleasing to the ear. The content, as discussed above, was adequate.

Great For Rookies Like Me!
The unique topic of this book immediately piqued my interest. It’s so fun learning about how to forage for food, especially in a society where this topic is basically taboo. I have been interested in foraging for a while, but never had the guts to do so. I was happy to learn that though foraging has its risks, when you properly do your research this can be a very fulfilling hobby. This was a great read, and I can’t wait to learn more about foraging!

Interesting
My Coach told me to learn something new every day, so I did. I listened to this book and it was very informative and took me from A to Z smoothly in detailed information. Before, I had no idea about this topic. Now, I can share what I listened to with others.
The book is well structured and the narration is excellent.
