With this comprehensive wilderness food guide, you can guarantee your survival and eat well in the wild The simple fact of life is -- everyone has to eat. But what happens if you get lost in the wilderness without supplies to help you survive... Or a natural disaster suddenly cuts you off from modern conveniences and help services... What if a camping, hiking, or a weekend outdoor trip ends up in an emergency where you have to fend for yourself in the great outdoors... The truth is, you only have a limited amount of time before you become just another statistic. Without protein from food, energy levels will quickly plummet. Without vitamins, the immune system weakens and wounds heal slower. And without water, you can only last 3 days. Luckily, living off the land is a technique that has been successfully practiced for centuries. Nature already has everything you need to survive. You just need to know where to look for food, how to identify what will save you and what will kill you, and how to gather it at no risk to your safety.

Having the skill to identify the treacherous twins could mean the difference between life and death in a survival situation.
