10 Things I WISH I KNEW When Starting To Forage Wild Edibles & Medicinal Plants

In this video we count down the ten things I wish I knew when starting to forage wild edibles and medicinal plants. I've been foraging for a little over ten years now and when I first started there are a lot of things I wish I knew. Foraging wild edibles and medicinal plants is a skill and like all skills, it comes with things we should all know, but knowing them takes time. Hopefully this video gives some things to learn and gets you to foraging success much faster than learning on your own. Things like making tincture, knowing that mistakes are part of learning, and how to read the environment the plants grow in are all important aspects of foraging for food and medicine from the wild. Obviously there are things like knowing how to identify a plant, how to identify poisonous plants, but what we talk about today are the lesser known aspects of foraging that I feel, would have helped me get to finding and using plants much faster.
I thank you all for watching this video I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you learned something. If you want to learn more about wild edibles and medicinal plants make sure to subscribe!
