Easy to Remember Survival Foods of North America

For vitamins and greens, wild roses are edible, petals, hip and leaf, as well as their cousins, raspberry and blackberry. For protein and fat, the abundantly available acorn can be made palatable if soaked in a running stream to release the tannins. Skunk cabbage, queen annes lace (wild carrot), dandelion, and burdock all have nutritious starchy roots that will help give you much needed energy to survive the long days lost in the wilds.
