Disclosure: I received these products for free to review. The opinions in my review are honest and my own.
If there is one thing I truly adore about my husband, it is that he knows everything. Don’t get me wrong – he’s not a know it all, but absorbs just about anything he reads. Not only does he absorb it, but he remembers it for life. More than once we have gone hiking and walking and if I have a question about a plant, he knows it. Granted, some may be from his Boy Scout days, but a lot of it comes from the fact that he loves to read. Since we hike, I love him pointing out different things to me and telling me what stuff may be safe for Reya to accidentally eat, and which would be an emergency vet trip. When I was asked to review the latest copy of Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Pants, I was actually very excited. Now I might be able to learn for myself the different plants and which ones may be safe for my family!

I think this book is a must for anyone spending time outdoors especially camping, hiking or even bird watching. We humans are naturally curious about what we see and is it is edible, especially children. I’m so glad there’s a guide to help us identify safe from unsafe plants in the woods.
I have seen pictures of poison ivy and don’t think I could identify it without having someone point it out to me. I think The Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Plants is going to be a helpful tool and with the pictures in the book, maybe even I could learn to identify what is edible and what is not.
this definitely sounds like a wonderful book. i know for myself and my hubby we go camping or hiking a lot, and i often ask him but unlike your hubby he doesn’t know every plant out there, he always tells me wait to we get home and we can look it up lolll oh well thanks for share @tisonlyme143
This would be a good book for someone that liked to camp and hike.
I swear you are talking about my husband, he’s exactly how you described your husband, except maybe not so much a reader. We love everything concerning survival, this sounds like an awesome book!
