I bought this book because I had become aware that many plants around us were in fact, edible and not what they appeared to be. In a time where so many are in doubt as to “What if” the food supply dwindles… I think I decided it was time to do some research of my own to prepare myself in case of an emergency. I knew foraging would be important and provide a way to overcome any “would be” food shortage event. And my son in law, being the one to bring it to my attention, invited me to go on a foraging adventure. I didn’t want to show up empty handed.
This book came into my awareness on social media. I decided to check it out to see if it would provide me, a complete novice, the tools I would need to begin my journey. ‘Master The World of Edible Wild Plants’ was edifying and hopeful. Barrett, a Marine Core Veteran, shares his journey to becoming an outdoorsman and the skills he acquired to help other layman, like myself, become self-sufficient in his own knowledge of how to SAFELY forage for wild plants.
The book outlines The Berry Rule. Which ones are safe, and those that may be toxic. What to do if you come upon contaminated plants and makes you aware of lookalikes! Those that bear the appearance of good but are deceptive in their nature. He even adds a universal edibility test. Though I don’t intend to forage for plants that I’m not sure about, if the time were to come that I had to … I’m sure glad I now have the information that makes it easier for me to make that judgement safer, than I would without it.
Collection methods and storage of so many individual plant profiles are included in this book, along with very descriptive means by which to identify said plant. Including photos of toxic lookalikes to be wary of. The photos are in black and white but online they are all color and free for use anytime to you need it. I also found the chapter on how to ‘Start a Forager Farm for Free’ quite liberating and gave me some ideas for my own yard.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is beginning their journey into foraging and want to have a deeper knowledge of it. The book itself is necessary and I will be getting my family members each a copy of their own to study and carry with them. We make it a family outing. You can not skip the basics and think you are safe. This book offers that and so much more! Take your power back. Learn how to forage… it may save your life.

This book is honestly fantastic. It’s the best beginner’s book on foraging I’ve seen. The fact that the pictures in the paperback are in black and white is not a big deal because the author has kindly provided easy digital access to the same pictures in color. I’ve never seen a foraging book go above and beyond like that. I’ve bought a lot of books on foraging and the pictures are almost always in black and white but they never include the ability to see digital color photos. You can see in the details section this book is from an independent publisher and they did a great job of making the most comprehensive foraging book I’ve ever read. I think the people upset about the black and white photos haven’t bought many books on foraging and didn’t realize basically all paperbacks are in black and white.
The plant profiles are detailed and the pictures are beautiful. The number of subjects in foraging covered is really impressive.
What this book is, is the best attempt I’ve seen at taking a valuable skill and genuinely giving the reader an entire set of tools to learn and grow that skill. Well written and fun to read, I can’t wait to see if this author comes out with more books. Highly recommend.
