In case of Emergency it would be good to know how to:

identify edible plants

food storage "in case of emergency"


Does anyone have hints on identifying edible plants or on how food should be stored for 'in case of emergency' situations?
 
Doc, I picked up a 'survival handbook' a while back. Made for an interesting read, and identified many edible plants.
I doubt you'd find enough to sustain yourself without alot of work, but you'll probably find some nice fruits for free.
Once you know what you can eat you might even get a taste for it, I dont have to walk far to find something I fancy eating. About this time of year even the stinging nettles are quite sweet (but pick them above dog pee height....)......
 
Jim, I just had to ask my egg question, but couldnt resist...

I got told about the nettle height, didnt want to try it myself ;)

Cheers

Good bump Nica. I hope we get Mith to share a recipe or two.

Nica, thanks for the welcome (I must visit this site more often, I usually only drop by when I'm having trouble thinking of something interesting for dinner)
Yup, I cook too, but not nearly as well as I weld :D
I'll admit that I have more disasters in the kitchen than I do success, you should have seen my first attempt at making custard the other week. More lump than liquid :yum:
 
Pinto beans and corn. they ckeep forever, and in combination, give you a com;lete cprotein, as well as carbs. :tongue:

Black beans and rice. Same as above. :thumb:
