Introduction
Imagine yourself on an island far away from the comfort of your home and far removed from civilization. Imagine that you are there with your friends or your family and you are running out of food with no option to restock, what would you do?
When survival becomes the most critical thing in your life, you will wish you had some foraging skills beforehand rather than having to the dangerous approach of trial by error.
Foraging for survival is a beginner’s guide for anyone who wants to learn how to forage but does not know-how. It is a very important guide to have on your side whether you are foraging for survival as a result of being exposed to danger in the wild or you are just foraging for fun.
One thing every aspiring forager has to know is that not all plants, animals, or mushrooms are safe to eat no matter how inviting they may look or how pleasing they are to the eyes. Some of these plants have been known to cause harm after a long time while some do not waste time at all in creating their negative effects.
You also have to be aware of possible allergies that you may have if you eat certain kinds of plants so that you do not unnecessarily endanger your life while trying to forage. As with other human endeavors, having the right knowledge is very important which is why this book was written with someone like you in mind.
In any case, this book is not all about gloom. It also has various sections that tell you why you should be foraging if you haven’t already considered it or started. There are various compelling reasons why if you have not yet considered it, you would find foraging an interesting experience.
For those who also wonder how foraging came to be, you will find an interesting section that talks about that. You will also be introduced to some of the tools that can make your foraging experience a very interesting one. Having the right foraging equipment can sometimes be the difference between having a pleasant experience or a very nasty one, which is why a lot of effort was put into ensuring that you are shown the most basic tools and sometimes obvious equipment like a knife and other essential or sometimes nice to have foraging gears.
Unlike other books that only show you how to forage, where to forage, when to forage, benefits of foraging, safety precautions to know when foraging and foraging equipment you may need, this book will also show you the various ways you can store the various items you can successfully forage so that they remain fresh or edible for the time you want to consume them.
With this foraging guide, you can quickly get started and start foraging as soon as possible without harboring any more fear.
