FOOD

​

With sufficient knowledge and skills, food can almost always be found in some form. While it may not be highly calorific and filling, it will provide us with valuable energy and nutrients.

​

Plants and herbs are usually the most readily available source of food, however they happen to be low in energy. The same is true for mushrooms. Fruits are rich in sugar, seeds and nuts are high in fat and protein, however they are seasonal foods that are only available during certain parts of the year.

​

Animal meat is valuable to us due to its high protein value, however without sufficient knowledge, meat can be difficult to obtain.

​

Alongside finding food, processing food also plays an important role when surviving in the wilderness. Cooking not only improves the taste, but also rids foods of some toxins and improves the digestibility of whatever we are eating.
