  • For one month I foraged 100% of my food. No grocery stores, no restaurants and not even a garden!
    Every. Single. Bite.
    Nature was my garden, my pantry and my pharmacy.
    Now I'm here to share the story with you and help YOU reconnect with Earth and gain food freedom!
    The 9 days of preparation began August 29th, 2022. The month of eating 100% foraged food was September 9th - October 9th (late summer and early fall).

    It’s the dream of millions. To “live off the land” and never have to take a trip to the grocery store. And through the pandemic more and more Americans have experienced the instability of our food system and desire to break free.
    But is it possible to break free? I am here to show that it is.

      I have been watching you expand your knowledge through growing, foraging and preserving for awhile now! Great community activism.
      Our family came over as colonists and sadly the mixing of cultures wiped out 95 percent of the indigenous neighbourhood and from what I heard, they loved each other and who wouldn't love such a self-sufficient, beautifil group. I am in disagreement with your comments about colonialism and capitolism. They left a monachist world to build something that was unconstrained. Though we need a totally revamped economic model based on education, holistic medicine, at home caring. Our ancestors made their own clothes, blankets from flax and wool, raisdd animals snd farmed with only manure until just a century ago.I admire them. They had little free time!
      Without competition and a free market people become soft and the others brown nosers whose idea of liberty is following a imposed code of behavior, suck rocks.
      I like whatI am seeing here in my new town Lachute, Quebec, because there are a lot of organic farmers and tree people here. Dairy farmers pasturing cows...Just wonderful to see the markets, even Walmart with a good section if bio! Still, some old style unwilliing to pull weeds but chemicaliy control. A dying breed.
      I think you are right in that people watch produce spoil right before their eyes mostly because they haven't got a clue as to how to process it.
      Your videos and seminars are helpful. Neighbours sharing knowledge and bounty, just wonderful!
      The more we multiply the more we willl need to be able to respect the individual within a healthy collective. I would say over 50 percent of NorthAmerica want it and smaller operations or mid-sized is easier to manage, scrub of pollutants and keep within the community's reach.
      I am 100 percent with you. Big is not better. Organics should be the onky yhing on the shelf! Thanks for your inspiring work! Peace.

      THANK YOU, Rob.
      Over the last year I've noticed how much I dislike grocery shopping (more than before). The packaged food, the bright lights and of course prices that have gone up. But unlike you, I was kinda stuck as to how to change my palette (let's address that), give up some foods I do like, and learn again!
      But your videos (previous), your philosophy and of course information has really motivated me to figure out this new path. Thank you for being you- and for caring! I love the earth, too.
      Btw, I'm reading a book called Spiritual Ecology. I'm wondering if you are familiar?

      The key is to harvest the bounty spring through fall to have plenty stored away for the winter.

    My dad worked at a chemical factory, and he made a lot of money and retired early and has a very good pension. So I never really thought too much about chemicals and food and everything else until two guys died after a field was accidentally sprayed when they were in it. 😢 To make a long story short. (Kind of🤷🏼‍♀️) My daughters fiancé worked for pioneer seed in Illinois and two migrant workers were in the field and there was some kind of communication issue, and the airplane came over and sprayed the fields. I don’t know if it was pesticides or whatever it was, but those two migrant workers died in a Hospital later that day. And I thought to myself, we are spraying our food with these chemicals that kill people. Why are we eating this? 😑😞😭 ever since then I have been looking for a better way of life. I live in Okeechobee Florida and I just purchased an acre of ground outside of town that has a trailer and a nice garage on it and I am trying to start a food Forrest. I saw, your video on the starter kit and I am definitely going to get me one of those. I already have mango, papaya, coconut, and a couple other trees going, but I definitely want more!! 😊 if you ever need a place to live you are more than welcome to stay at my house for free! I don’t even stay there most of the time I live with my dad about 10 miles away because my mom just died in April and he needs the help. So anyways my place is empty and free if you ever need a place to stay.

      I myself did not become aware how bad "normal" food chemicals are until... I got a throat fungal infection that I had NO reason to get... other than the chemicals in everyday food. And at first, I had no clue what the cause could be. I had to get a lot of inspiration to know what research papers to look up... but I eventually found how how chemicals such as glyphosate weedkiller cause cancer and kill good probiotics etc (I found this out DECADES before glyphosate got into the news or a few textbooks). Although I do not grow or forage my own food (although I do know HOW- it's just lack of time for me)... I DID put myself on a 100% certified organic diet (and after a few years discovered how to get such a diet CHEAPER than regular food, like over $100 cheaper in fact- depends on the types of foods even if they still provide all necessary nutrients). And, probably because "organic" legally means "no synthetic chemicals" (which are likely to be harmful from my own research)... I NEVER had another "surprise" health problem again. I've been on a 100% organic diet for 12 years now and have even saved money.

      I've been telling this to people, you don't need to buy land to plant trees grown or other plants. there are so many leftover seeds from grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables and they can sprout and grow plants which offer more and it also contributes to more vegetation when you plant them where there's less plants growing or "empty" fields.

    I know in my journey to try and move away from big ag, it can be intimidating seeing how big the problem is, and how complicated and drastic the solutions can seem. And I believe it is important to remember that there is value in even doing just 2% of the ideal.

You may have the mushroom people, the acorn processors and foragers, fruit pickers and tenders, etc. we’d all come together with our skills to get the food we need. And of course to help sow native edible plants and carry on these traditions of gardening beneath the forests 😊

      I think specialization is exactly what brought us where we are now; the guys who specialized in fruits ended up having an orchard to concentrate the foraging in one place, the corn foragers started cultivating it to make it easier, et cetera, until nature is gone and there's monocoltures everywhere.
      IMO foraging should be all around to be sustainable, and obviously limited to small groups of people; is is definitely not suitable for large groups or you end up creating specialization and economy, or for densely populated areas which would create competition and food scarcity.

    Something about going from plants to car crash deer had me laughing.

      It is a tricky balance to discuss this form of foraging in a culture that is so afraid and repulsed by the very nature of death.
      Millions of people harvest deer that have been hit by cars. It just requires tuning into our basic common senses.
      Some deer are perfect to harvest and others are not.
      Here is a video where I discuss harvesting deer that have been hit by a car:

    Greetings from Sweden.. I do foraged and you have inspired me to improve my foraging.. We also grow quite a lot.. Growing up in my rural village in Zimbabwe we foraged and lived off the land growing and foraging.. I am learning Swedish and learning of the edible foods in northern Europe..sweden is a foragers paradise.. The last three years have taken me back to my childhood.. As we did not have freezers and dried most of our foods including meat.. So i dry most of the foods we grow n forage.. We have so much now i make vege flour..

    This was simply a most important lesson to the world. I shared it and hope others will see it and why I preach about foraging all the time. I have been begging for someone that is able bodied to forage and bring some of their goodies to me now that I am disable and can't get outside to even forage my little city yard anymore. I have lived off the land, and didn't have any teachings much on what was edible and what wasn't. I was homeless as a young teen and lived in our family cabin for about 9 months with no one parenting me or caring for me. I fished, picked weeds I knew were safe and found berries and nuts to eat. I ate things I'll not mention...don't want to gross people out...but when you are truly hungry and alone and scared you do what you have to to survive. I later in life bought books on foraging and so enjoyed going out and gathering the many things in God's garden that he meant for us to eat. What our bodies are made to live on to be healthy. I truly enjoyed this video and I know I will enjoy your content, so I am a new subscriber. I find it sad what many of the preppers are stock piling and eating...so many processed and nasty foods that will just poison them. I have one that is a homesteader that I follow and I keep trying to introduce foraging to him, but I never get a reply. Just him pushing these expensive pre-packaged foods that will not go bad. They are already bad! Like talking to a brick wall aren't they? Most people are and think we are nuts I guess. But when you are tucking into a delicious meal and they are starving who will be the beggar then? I'm old, disabled, and probably won't be here much longer. I miss the fresh foods I once enjoyed. The medicinal herbs I once used instead of pharmaceuticals. That's life. Maybe some kind Nashvillian will read this and reach out to me. I hope so!
