Edible Survival Plants of the Rocky Mountains: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species

by Jason Schwartz, Waterford Press

Overview

Edible Survival Plants of the Rocky Mountains is an easy to understand survival guide. This handy guide can help hikers and backpackers lost in the Rocky Mountains forage for food using wild plants and trees. Laminated, water-resistant, ultralight and made in the USA, it was written for practical, real world survival use. The plants and trees in this guide were selected because they are widespread, easy to identify, and cover a wide range of seasons, environments and life zones (i.e., winter/summer; Plains to Alpine Zones, etc). The guide also contains helpful tips on how to use Rocky Mountain plants and trees for bushcraft and survival use, as well as many other cool "factoids" about the historical and Native American uses of each individual species.

Editorial Reviews

Survival Guides are a dime-a-dozen, but good ones, the real save-your-life guides are as rare as hens teeth. Luckily the two new plastic-covered foldouts [Edible Survival Plants of the Rocky Mountains, and Medicinal Survival Plants of the Rocky Mountains] from Jason Schwartz over at Rocky Mountain Bushcraft are an outstanding and necessary contribution to your survival kit that literally could save your life. For less than the cost of a box of American made ammo, you could outfit your survival gear with some to-the-point literature can make a difference when on an afternoon hike, or when the S really hits the fan.” – Doc Montana, a Contributing Author of Survival Cache and SHTFBlog
