There is only one step from inability to disaster. There are dozens of cases where people died of hunger, surrounded by edible plants that they did not know about, game and fish that they could not catch. This book tells in detail, accessible and fascinating how to distinguish edible plants from inedible ones, how to make fishing gear and hunting, how to properly store the food you get, how to eat insects and reptiles, and how to ultimately not die of hunger, survive yourself and help others survive.
