Excerpt 1 from 'Wild & Edible
Nature sustains & nourishes us & all the other life forms on our home planet. Ultimately we are nature, born of the same creative source & fulfilled by it on deep, invisible levels. On the more visible levels of our physical experiential life on this planet, our relationship with nature has been developing for millions of years. In the time of our earliest ancestors our bond with nature was realized without question ~ their reliance on the rest of nature gave them a deep respect & understanding of it.This reliance still exists even if it is hidden behind a flippant interface of ‘man knows best’ technology, our connection can never be completely lost, just veiled. Behind the veil, we need the planet & the planet needs us, anything else is marketing! For our planets sake & all of its inhabitants’ well being we need to rediscover our connection with the foundation for everything we see, touch, hear, taste, feel & sense… nature.Whether walking, picnicking, hiking, camping or testing your metal in a survival situation out of choice or perhaps even out of necessity… nature is our friend and will sustain us.
Excerpt 'Wild & Edible'
Every plant is different… Aside of genetic characteristics, environmental factors, such as exposure to sunlight & temperature changes, can also cause differences in the appearance, texture & taste of plants. Access to water, both ground & rainfall, affect the growth rate of the plant, the timing of the flowering & seed ripening.Some areas on our planet are more abundant in wild food than others. In some places indigenous peoples still gather wild harvests & their knowledge on harvesting techniques & preparation is invaluable. In other places wild foods once savoured, have been neglected & forgotten & we foragers are required to ‘dig a bit deeper’ to uncover their whereabouts & rediscover their benefits.It is vital also that we help toward their regeneration with careful harvesting & purposeful planting! With selective foraging & conscious meal combining we will benefit from the ‘less is more’ foundation of a foragers wild harvest diet & not go hungry.Usually, the wild variety of plants are richer in nutrients than the mono ~ cultured versions of their species & have less (hopefully no) pesticide & fungicide residue on them.
