SynopsisNow outdoorsman and survivalists can own the official US Army guide to edible plants. Whether you are a stranded soldier, a wilderness hiker, or you just want to know which plants growing in your backyard are edible, this is an invaluable resource. Anyone who has spent serious time outdoors knows that in survival situations, wild plants are often the only sustenance available. The proper identification of these plants can mean the difference between survival and death. This book describes habitat and distribution, physical characteristics, and edible parts of wild plants--the key elements of identification. Hugely important to the book are its color photos. There are over one hundred of them, further simplifying the identification of poisonous and edible plants. No serious outdoors person should ever hit the trail without this book and the knowledge contained within it.

Great book of All environments
This book was originally published by the US Army and was designed to inform someone in the military how to survive in any climate or environment that they find themselves within. Therefore, it is not very detailed. However it does give a person a good understanding of which plants are poisonous and what is safe to eat all over the planet. You will be able to keep yourself alive and nourished which is the key element in survival. You can eat all the rabbit you want and eventually you will die from malnutrition as they have very minute fat content. So this is an excellent field book. For anyone planning a backpacking or camping trip and I would strongly suggest that this go in your pack. The poisonous plants are marked and, as I was surprised to find out, many plants that have edible portions also have portions that are highly poisonous and deadly. The book has excellent color illustrations and photos to help a person learn to identify edible plants. The front section goes on to explain the different ways in which to ID a plant. They also include trees that are edible year round. For instance the internal area of birch bark in the spring makes a great flour or spaghetti substitute. It's an easy read and you will learn a lot. So buy the book. I am already growing some of my own plants for harvesting later this year.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Reccomended but could be so much better
I'm getting into camping, survival and herbal teas so I got this book which was written by the U.S. Army supposedly. There's a Universal edibility test to check if a plant is edible or not and some photos and locations for edible plants and even poisonous ones. The book also points out other uses for plants such as twine, poisons for fish, and medical properties. The end of the book also has a huge list of notes you can use to possibly identify other edible plants or where one is in your area. However, if this is written by the Army as it claims well.... the Army deserves a much better book. There are a ton more wild edibles not mentioned such as the Primrose and nutritional information is scarce as only a few plants get that mention. Another criticism is their mention of elderberries. While they warned that only the fruit is edible while everything else is toxic, they fail to mention that elderberries fruit is only edible when fully ripe otherwise toxic. Another one I saw is when they mentioned some species of thistle are toxic but wouldn't mention the specified ones. This does make me feel a little disappointed because so much more could be covered. However many survival experts state that you should do as much thorough research as possible. Overall I do recommend this book but it could have been much better.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

The U.S. Army doesn't mess around, it's a good resource book.
Good identification photos, to-the-point factual information, over-zealous on warnings, covers the world climates from desert to tropics to alpine, so it may not be focused on your specific area. Section dedicated to toxic plants.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Very informative book.
There is a lot of great information in this little book. I'm not much of a reader but when I started reading this book I read through the first 58 pages and still didn't want to put it down. I wish there were more detailed pictures and information on how to identify the plants, but that's my only complaint. Very informative and I hope to use it this spring and summer to try some of these plants out.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Awesome book to have while out in the wilderness
We have been camping and hiking several times after getting this book and we took it along in the day pack we carry on hikes. The plants were easily identifiable from great pictures and explanations. We consumed a few plants we identified from the book and we are still alive and never got sick from them. We plan on finding many more and trying them. IF YOU ARE AN OUTDOORS PERSON THIS IS A GREAT BOOK TO HAVE ALONG!!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Know what yer eatin!
This book is a good guide to read about what you can and cannot consume in survival mode. Some of the pictures aren't the best, but the descriptions are pretty good. Good enough to help you survive.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Edible Wild Plants.
This book is of very little value. The photos and drawings are of very poor quality, with the photos being dark, blurred, or non distinctive. I certainly would NOT recommend this guide to anyone new to attempting to eat wild plants.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Great if you're a traveler, but good for the indigenous plants here. Helpful, but could use more info about each plant.
