  1. well, with global warming, you should be able to find some strawberries somewhere, good luck with the whittling.


  2. gryll a bear

  3. England in February can be a bit daunting to a survivalist as your self.

    Jumbilies are scarce and the Snork is rarer.

    Try digging up The Pobble that has no Toes....you can find it by the Quangly Wangly's Hat. X

  4. I think that's a question for Ray himself.  I'm sure if you bought his books or dvd's you'd have your answer.

  5. It's probably quicker to go out  buy something ...but here goes.

    There are many plants throughout the world. Tasting or swallowing even a small portion of some can cause severe discomfort, extreme internal disorders, and even death. Therefore, if you have the slightest doubt about a plant's edibility, apply the Universal Edibility Test (Figure 9-5) before eating any portion of it.

    The basic types of root structures (Figure 9-4) are the bulb, clove, taproot, tuber, rhizome, corm, and crown. Bulbs are familiar to us as onions and, when sliced in half, will show concentric rings. Cloves are those bulblike structures that remind us of garlic and will separate into small pieces when broken apart. This characteristic separates wild onions from wild garlic. Taproots resemble carrots and may be single-rooted or branched, but usually only one plant stalk arises from each root. Tubers are like potatoes and daylilies and you will find these structures either on strings or in clusters underneath the parent plants. Rhizomes are large creeping rootstock or underground stems and many plants arise from the "eyes" of these roots. Corms are similar to bulbs but are solid when cut rather than possessing rings. A crown is the type of root structure found on plants such as asparagus and looks much like a mophead under the soil's surface.

    Some edible wild plants, such as acorns and water lily rhizomes, are bitter. These bitter substances, usually tannin compounds, make them unpalatable. Boiling them in several changes of water will usually remove these bitter properties

    Learn as much as possible about plants you intend to use for food and their unique characteristics. Some plants have both edible and poisonous parts. Many are edible only at certain times of the year. Others may have poisonous relatives that look very similar to the ones you can eat or use for medicine

  6. It's definitely the season for wood sorrel (Oxalis acetosella) and thanks to climate change, by now you might even be able to put some young wild garlic (Allium ursinum) in your soup too!

    I guess you could also stalk pensioners, but that raises a few ethical issues.

    Hope this helps. :)

  7. Light a fire by rubbing two Boyscouts together and boil yourself up a nice Nettle soup!

  8. es cargo, maybe some magic mushrooms,um grass,maybe a few weeds even, make yourself a bonfire and enjoy the outdoors
