Hi all, just wanted to put this out there. There's obviously a lot of doom and gloom around at the moment and a lot of people are very concerned about the future. Now I'm no activist and I would assume that most people on here, like me, would just like to live a quiet life and get on with your own thing unmolested by big corporations and a government that sold us down the river for the corporate bosses they serve.
There is one thing you can do. It's called foraging and it gives you some measure of control over your own destiny. There is an abundance of free, organic food all over this country and if a food crisis hits us (I reckon 6-9 months away max but I'm no expert so don't go mental on my say so) you will at least give yourself and your family a fighting chance.
Get yourself a couple of decent field-guides and get out there.
Why give money to Tesco for nutrient-deficient, mass produced goods when you walk past great food sources every day?
Just a thought.
I've only been at it for a little while but it's going really well. OK it's winter so not that well but there's always something out there. eg. today I got rosehips, plantain, dandilions and nettles and I was only out for half an hour.

It would be cool to have a page on this but I have an idea how busy the ed's already are.
And all the money in the world with be worthles it already is, we are just living in illusionary times.
If you offered an apex predetor 100 pounds or a lump of meat he would always take the meat (please spare me the jokes about the predator not being able to spend the money) the fact is in times of shortages money is useless and these times Len is talking about are coming.
Better brush up on hunting skills, boyz.
