Description

WILD CARDS^® is a great tool to use when you are learning the identification, attributes & uses of Wild Foods. Linda’s core 52 wild edible plants are printed in brilliant color and clarity on the backs of the cards. The cards contain the crucial info needed to deal with an unexpected emergency or survival situation in which knowledge of edible wild plants could save your life.

In addition to the photo on the back is an inset line drawing of the plant, and a chart showing its natural US & Canadian habitat. On the face is a compact listing of the plant’s aliases, its edible parts, and characteristics, with notes, uses & hints, and when needed, warnings. There are also traditional card markings so the deck may be used as regular playing cards. There is a hole through the upper corner of the cards by which the deck is fastened together with a ball chain.

You will find the majority of these plants in all 50 states, and, indeed, in most of the world. A few are unique to the Eastern or the Western US.

WILD CARDS^® fit easily in a pocket or pack to take with you camping or hiking. Use them as flashcards to enhance your learning & help you to immediately spot this food in the wild. Soon you will see it everywhere!

WILD CARDS^® are designed to be used by themselves, but they make a wonderful color companion to Linda’s book The Essential Wild Food Survival Guide. They make great gifts!
