This is one of those important life skills I think should be taught in schools. Being able to identify edible plants and berries in the wild, as well as mosses, could actually save your life if you find yourself in the wilderness and without food or water.

People don't realise you can find water in the roots of many plants, especially if you're lucky enough to find a banana or plaintain tree which can give you many days worth of water from the roots. Being able to purify water is another crucial skill.

Why do they not teach kids in school valuable and potentially lifesaving lessons like these? Even just knowing more about nature and the wonderful benefits that wild plants, fruits and berries have would be a good start. Nice post @krnel
