Hiking the Appalachian Trail I spent a lot more time thinking about what plants I could eat. Once the berries started to appear around Virginia my picking began and I ate and learned more plants as I moved north. Wild food is wonderful. It is a source of nutritious water dense calories that you don't have to carry or pay for, and I'm eager to keep learning more. Similar to drinking water straight from a mountain creek, it gives me a deep sense of satisfaction, a most intimate way of communing with nature. However, it's not all sunshine and raspberries.
