This is an example of how easy it would be for a beginner to make a fatal mistake. Violets are rich in vitamins A & C. They could be used to help prevent Scurvy. Larkspur on the other hand could bring an abrupt end to your bushcraft days. Always double check your Guide books & if in doubt leave it out.

Posted by Susan in Virginia Wildlife on Sep 11th, 2010 | 0 commentsThis was actually shot at the end of my trek today. I wanted to address the fact that we are losing our elders at an alarming rate. most of what I have learned about the woods I learned from "Old Timers" these men rememberd things like the great depression and lived of the land to get by. Spend some time with these people while we have them & you'll learn more about life than you could ever imagine. Most of them feel forgotten and are wasting away in rest homes. Please do yourself a favor and find an Old Timer to visit with.
