Natural Pain Killers

I always love learning something new, and came across this article reading about peppermint and headaches.  However, I think they missed Aspen, the one tree that always comes to mind when I think of pain relief. Aspen is used in combination with other herbs for treating joint pain (rheumatism), prostate discomforts, back trouble (sciatica), nerve […]

Medicinal Herbs

 The benefits of natural herbs in our daily diet is a topic of increased study.  While I originally dismissed many healing herbs as being blown beyond their practical value, I’ve been intrigued by the results of many people; noting that it cannot be entirely a result of the placebo effect.  I began to look more […]

The taste was similar but had a little more of a radish type bite to it. This post will outline wild carrots (Queen Anne’s Lace), poison hemlock, and some tips for […]

Wild Sorrel

I was sitting with my dad the other night talking about foraging and he told me about wild sorrel.  I was surprised that I had not taken the time to learn more about it before.  He said he loves the lemony flavor and grows domesticated versions in his yard.  A little research together and we found some […]

Eating Grass

Eating Grass

Surprising to many is the fact that you can eat grass. Despite there being hundreds of varieties of bladed grass found in the Americas, almost all (99% of them) can be eaten. This ranges from wheat, oats, and bamboo to the wild meadow varieties. The downside is that the large proportion of common and wild […]

Eating Acorns

Along with a little learned knowledge over the years I’ve pulled from a number of sources for this bit on acorns as they summed up beautifully the information at hand.  As always, references are down below.  If you are like me then you parents probably didn’t understand the potential value of this little nut; which […]

Jonathan Prusse

I’m a guy who cares about his family. I want to make sure that those I love have the tools necessary to survive. In my own life I’ve seen the benefits which food storage and self-sufficiency have provided for my own immediate family during times of financial strain. Most of my own experience comes down to farm life, foraging in the woods, scouting, military service and combat deployments; to name several of life’s major building blocks. Not only do I want to share, I want to learn; so give me your insight. And while I do my best to ensure all information is correct; let me know if any corrections need to be made.
