RE: Surviving 15 mile hike on a spoonfull of peanut butter
I go camping every summer and love the wilderness. However I need to get in shape before a major hike!
You're right foraging is more difficult than it sounds. It also may have been a waste of time when it was a crucial thing. It's good to know however so you can keep your eye out and maybe spot something along the way.
Sure, the more you know the better, although to be honest I don't think the majority of AT hikers (or most hikers for that matter) are familiar with what can be foraged. Doesn't mean we shouldn't know though!
