Good point! yes to most daisy tho I haven't read any books and I don't have any medical training perse but i do know some basics. tho the whole point of going out there is to get away from all the synthetic foods/medicines and learn how to make natural medicines and food recipes using the available plants. Ive lived in this area for over 20 years i know the woods like the back of my hand and spent my childhood exploring these woods and its where I get the water for my plants, its a decidous woods daisy which no one owns, well im sure the government will say its theirs lol. Its just over my back fence so I wouldn't be far from home if I needed to leave. i would start off with just a few days then gradually be there for longer stays! My ultimate goal would be to spend atleast a few months out there each year! I can make a hand fire drill but id bring a lighter and some matches just incase. I prob wouldn't be taking much in the way of food prob a few packs of noodles and basic stuff like that! I could always keep the food at home and just bring what I need for the short stays! Lol many a time i couldn't find the tin opener lol very easy to open with a knife, I'm also familiar with knifes I am a butcher by trade tho I've left that career and can say I will not be hunting any animals nor eating them! just the plants. You do raise very good points daisy for anyone to consider when heading out in the wild especially if you are far from civilization and faced with some hungry predators and poisonous things! for me daisy I don't think any of the above will be a concern considering how close to home I will be but I appreciate your views.
