Have you ever wanted to learn how to forage, but you don't know where to begin?  In this episode, I share the difference between wildcrafting and foraging, six wildcrafting/foraging etiquette tips, and six ways to start learning how to wildcraft and forage.  I joke all the time about how if the Zombie Apocalypse were to happen, it would be very beneficial to have me around because I know what plants are edible, medicinal, and dangerous. However, in all seriousness, what would happen if we all went off-grid?  It may not happen in our lifetime (although the last 5 years has shown us anything can happen), but it may happen in our children's lifetime, or their children's, and it would be great to pass this knowledge down to gernations.   In this episode, I mentioned a few books:  Field Guide To Edible Wild Plants, by Same Thayer's Medicinal Herbs of California, by Lanny Kaufer    California Foraging, by Judith Larner Lowry  These are some of my favorite foraging books, but you can look for foraging books in your area.  Try searching for your state or region (for example, "foraging books for the Southeast" or "foraging books in the Midwest".   These are two websites that I find very beneficial here in California.  If you are not in California,  but with a quick search, you can find websites like this in your state. These websites share about native plants.  Califlora  I find this one a little more beneficial for foraging.  Calscape    Want to learn more about herbs?  Join our Herb of the Month Membership.  Get one month for free with the discount code: WYAP Not only do I share bonus podcast episodes in this membership, but there are a lot of PDF files, videos, a private Facebook group, and every 3 months you are a member, I send you 3 herbs.
