“Trapper Jack” Wild Food Video

Trapper Jack is a YouTuber with a channel dedicated to woods loafing and survival related topics. This video is a good overview of some wild edibles with plenty of description to help you out. Obviously you need to do some real research before making the leap into foraging, including classes if they’re available in your area. Otherwise I recommend books by Samuel Thayer like Nature’s Garden and The Forager’s Harvest and sites like Rebecca Lerner’s First Ways. This video however is a great intro into foraging from a guy who really knows what he’s doing.

The video covers the difference between wild garlic and wild onions, edible violet, prickly lettuce,yellow curly dock, sow thistle and more:
