The girl seems a little fruity, has she nothing else to do than go around foraging? I like it that she wants to show others how to forage.
I've often, like the past 30 years, thought about moving to Maine because of all the awesome wild foods and other crops that grow well there. Am I there yet?
The guy, Christian, has a great knowledge base as well as the girl.
I'm afraid they are both going to starve. LOL
I have eaten tempeh.
Thanks, bro!

Remember Ewell Gibbons? He was about urban foraging. I think he ended up living in PA or Maine.
its her business...or that what i understood...lol
one thing i had to pause on though...is those cracks guy was foraging from...just how may times in past had round up or other weed killer been sprayed to try and kill plants coming up in crack....i read about a guy harvested some stuff in edge of field to ferment a drink with and it smelled of chemical and oil...he checked with farmer and it had been sprayed with weed killer.
p.s. this is posted for inspiration...one life to live...do it...do something...bloom where we are be it city,urban or the wildest place on the planet.

Plants growing out of the soil or concrete right next to the leg of a bench, my first thought was "my dog peed there."
And there is a half life to things like round up making it unsafe to eat plants grown there for YEARS. I forget, like 10 yrs or something.
My brain told me this was a private message where I first responded, so now the rest of you get to see what kind of fruit loop I am, like you already knew. My head is still spinning from today's forum sad news.
Pennsylvania was his final state.
"Did ya ever eat a pine tree?"
Knowing how to forage is a pretty important skill. Think of all the pioneers that either starved or suffered and died from various illnesses as they trudged across America but didn't know what herbs, plants, and trees to use to sustain their lives.
(Here Bacpacker would chime in somewhere in this thread and share a story about hiking and native plants).
