We discovered a great guide that provides clear photos for identifying edible wild plants, with tips on what to avoid and a lot of useful information about each plant featured! It’s good to know that there are plenty of possible sources of food around in a survival situation. Of course, you don’t have to wait for an emergency to start eating wild plants – I’m sure that many gardeners would gain some extra satisfaction from being able to eat some of their “weeds“!

Here’s an extra one to add to the list: One of the most important wild food plants is the very nutritious stinging nettle (Urtica Dioica). It is rich in vitamin C and all of the B vitamins – it also provides a good dose of minerals, especially silica to help the tissues of the body to heal.

Young nettle shoots can be eaten as a vegetable after boiling (which removes the stings!) – springtime is the best time to harvest them and it’s great way to give the body a healthy boost after winter. It’s well known that nettle stings on the skin can be relieved by the juice of the common dock plant but did you know that juice from nettle plants works too?

Our ancestors relied on berries, nuts, fungi and wild plants to provide most of their food and medicines and some indigenous people still do! Adding a few edible wild plants to your diet will make meals more interesting and could contribute to a healthier balance of nutrition. It’s of course essential to know what not to eat! – This will help: http://www.livescience.com/11356-top-10-poisonous-plants.html

If you want to make the most of foraging, it’s a good idea to pick up a good pocket field guide and carry it with you when out hiking. This is a good incentive to walk more often and you will learn a lot about the natural world as you go along before coming home to feast on what you’ve gathered!

Note: There is an important rule to follow here: If you are not absolutely 100 percent certain of a plant’s identity, don’t eat it! Having said that, there are many more edible plants out there – if you’re looking for a more comprehensive guide or some further info, please try one of the following:

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.
