012: Frustrated Forager | Ancestral Health, Human Perspective

Adventures in Humaning

Hello again! Frank and I return with a follow up to our previous show about our familiarity with market foods vs the weeds outside. We're both new-ish to foraging - but I have a year's worth of paying attention AND a mentor to guide me... and Frank has a passion, an understanding of the nutrient riches out there, and a crazy frustration because he feels lost in the weeds - so to speak. In this show - we chat about some of those frustrations and get around to recommending resources and approaches to getting passed the road blocks to collecting and eating wild foods in your brain. I go off on a wild tangent about pollen in the rock record. I have a lot to learn about living pollen - having only experienced the fossilized remains (queue the massive googling). Some resources mentioned in the show: Arthur Haines Sam Thayer Steve Cooksey Daniel Vitalis We have also received our first carrier pigeon! Jen asks about ticks and what we do about them. Frank refers her to a great episode that Daniel Vitalis does for one of his Rewild Yourself episodes with Stephen Harrod Buhner.
