The Scout's Guide to Wild Edibles: Learn How To Forage, Prepare & Eat 40 Wild Foods Kindle Edition

I waited for this book's release since I heard it was being written. I have the background of being a Scout, and also a strong interest in foraging and wild edibles. This book covers the Midwest like no other book I've found. It is dead center on my geographical area and therefore incredibly relevant to what I'm looking for.The plant ID section could stand on it's own as a great pocket guide, but Mike takes it a step further by adding his decades of experience in preparing the wild edibles - and not only on his own, but also teaching others (including young kids!) to identify and prepare their hauls.Krebill also takes a scientific approach to the cooking process - something that is left out of many recipe books and only found in places like "America's Test Kitchen". The guesswork is gone because he's perfected his method and included tips from his other colleagues.You are guaranteed to have a safe, fun, and successful forage if you buy this book.

Remember when the boy scout handbook had a section on wild edible plants? How are kids supposed to really bond with and love nature if all they can do is look but not touch/smell/taste it? Thankfully, Mr. Krebill has given excellent guidance on bringing kids back into the wild!This is the best book to introduce scouts, American Heritage Girls, church youth groups, homeschoolers, and Junior Woodchucks to the wonderful world of wild edibles. This pocket guide covers 40 easy to find, easy to recognize, easy to prepare plants that will help your kids appreciate nature with more than just their eyes. We're talking full immersion! Along with plants and recipes it's also sprinkled with fun challenges to get the kids excited and intrigued.

Don't let the title fool you you.This book is a must have for all ages and levels of foragers and wild edible enthusiasts.Five decades as a middleschool life sciences teacher and scout master shine in this guide where Mike shares his life long passion and collected knowledge of wild edibles. It covers all of the most common wild edibles, is concise, informative, easy to read, has wonderful photos and his DIY recipes and projects are fun for everyone. I love this guide and would recommend it to anyone.

This book is concise and written for all ages, even us old scouts that still venture into the woods to hike, camp, forage, or paddle. This is the Bestwild edibles guidebook published, for it is exceptionally well written and the color photographs help discern the edible foods from the look-alikes, possible toxic plants. Wild mushroom identification has always been challenging for me, not any more, for Mike Krebill has now erased my doubt and has educated me in harvesting these wonderful morsels safely. Another plus is that the Guide is compact, easy to slip into any backpack or camping gear when venturing into the woods and the price is super reasonable. I highly recommend this Scout's Guide to anyone who enjoys theoutdoors, young or old, for it is a wonderful resource and reference guide to always have on hand. Bon appetite and Thanks Mike for writing this Guidebook.

Book was smaller in size then I was expecting, but not in content. My son was able to identify edibles on his own using this book. I also learned what all those "eerie" dark green circles growing in my lawn are. Turns out, they are not types of crop circles (though, the truth is out there.)

The book was basic in information but informative. I nice resource for the household and for camping trips. The book is small and easy to take with you - half inch thick. This is not a pamphlet like some of the other 'resources' are (been mislead by that before). Good color pictures, too.

This is a great book to lead into and teach eatable plants. It is more centered for the areas of the states that have moderate rainfall...Mike really needs to produce a series of books that can offer a regional pallet of foods. Here in central Texas that means foods with thorns... Over in West Texas??? Well I don't know??? Can we eat rocks???Kidding aside I am glade to have this book on my shelf and on my excursions...

I purchased the Kindle edition after following Mike Krebill on Facebook. He's a knowledgeable forager! This book has reliable tips & photos for the novice learning about wild edibles.I'm especially looking forward to learning to identify the fungi highlighted in this book. I appreciate that the spore print colors are included in the descriptions.

dont look anymore. its not a survival guide so much as a tour of hunting great food outside. great layouts and descriptions and photos. hope to meet the guide someday

Bon état. Tel que décrit
