Hello!!

I am beginning this blog in order to learn how to forage. My goal is to go out at least twice a month, find edible foods in the confines of Seattle (along sidewalks, in parks, maybe a little dumpster diving), prepare the food and then write about the experience.
Though I haven't always been aware, I have perpetually been interested in living off of the land the way the first people may have. As a kid, I went on numerous camping trips in Eastern Washington with individuals who had a lot of knowledge concerning the edible plants in the area, I fondly look back at those trips but regret not learning more about the plants and how to harvest them. So I will, with the help of books and other sources, learn by myself and try to communicate those experiences to anyone interested in learning or in helping me to learn.
By doing this I hope to strengthen my foraging, cooking, and writing skills in the process. In the end, I hope to be able to sustain myself in a way that is healthy and fulfilling, and to sustain the environment around me. I would also like to bring together a community of like-minded people who are interested in learning about foraging for food.
Hopefully I will be back with a post of my first experience within the month of December.
