Foraging Concerns


It didnt even occur to me until recently,
but someone could totally eat something crazy
and blame me because I somehow inspired them to
get into wild foraging.

SO...here is the disclaimer.

I eat wild foods. I have gone on wild food walks
with the Wildman Steve Brill, and own
various wild food manuals and flash cards.


IF you are deciding to re-wild, I suggest you know
what you are eating. Dandelion is probably the easiest,
as is Wood Sorrel and Maple Leaves.

I take no responsibility if you get inspired and go
out and make yourself a hemlock smoothie. Sorry.

Here is an old saying:

"There are old mushroom pickers,
and stupid mushroom pickers,
but you will never find an old AND stupid mushroom picker."

Go to www. botanical.com,
learn about what you want to eat
and make sure you know what you are putting in your body.
You wouldnt eat some crazy stuff out of the grocery store
anymore, so please still use the same caution when getting
stuff from the wild.

You might also want to taste little teeny bits of anything
just to see how you react to it.
Dont go out and make a green smoothie of foxglove.
A little foxglove and you would likely still survive,
a green smoothie...adios.

Get a good book. What you spend on it will be nothing
compared to the FREE wild greens you will soon be getting.
Its a small investment considering the skyrocketing health
you can experience soon afterwards.



Cool? Cool. Dont be crazy. Learn and then re-wild.
Glad to inspire...just don't get yourself sick or killed.
We all love you WAY too much.
