Campfire Conversation:

Eric and Ana are joined by Ramsay Plautz to talk about foraging in the woods of Wisconsin. They discussed safety, which is first and foremost since many plants, berries, mushrooms and more have look-alike variations that are no edible or may have likely contaminants based on where you find them. Ramsay shared places where you're allowed to forage along the ethics and unwritten rules behind it. Also, which plants are available across various times of the year; for example, wild blueberries are usually available early July through mid-August while blackberries and raspberries tend to be available mid-July into September. Wild asparagus grows along some roadsides; wintergreen grows throughout the wild and can, like dandelions, be used for a healthy tea. And did you know that pine needles have 3x the vitamin C of an orange?  

Numerous other "wild" foods are discussed, too. Additional resources on foraging can be found on the Wisconsin DNR website; in books like Midwest Foraging, Fall Foraging in the Northwoods, and Wisconsin Wild Foods; even Ramsay's Instagram, @northmenbushcraft.

Let’s get back to our roots - literally! With this episode on foraging.
