Missing person rubicon

[Jes]

On a completely different tangent, I always wished there was a trail from Hellhole to Rubicon Springs and a trail from Buck Island to Barrett Lake.

He drank water from the river and found a handful of berries to eat.

I always assumed all our local berries, aside from blackberries, were poisonous.
Is that what he ate, or is there a different edible local berry?

You should start a thread about it.

"Wild food sources of the Sierra Nevada"

I know we got miner's lettuce, blackberries, and a few other edibles out there.
Would actually be nice to have a little guide with pics and such.

Someone told him once if he drank the water he could get sick.

It will take 3 weeks minimum to starve. Just focus on finding enough water and stay away from the mushrooms and the berries that taste like burning.

So dude just does this all the time?

Ooh, next do Biden!

I get that. 3 weeks food, 3 days water, 3 minutes oxygen.
I'm more looking at it from a fun camping angle to go forage in the forest with the kids and be 100% sure it would be safe.

Well, get a copy of "all the rain promises" for mushrooms. Find a wild edibles of California or similar book or pamphlet. Beware of AI reproductions though, do some research on authors and sources.

Mum grew up in Gilroy and would camp on horseback and live off the land for several days at a time as a girl. Prickly pear is the only one I can recall off hand that she mentioned.

Locally we have blackberries in a few different varieties, red and blue huckleberries, blueberries, salmon berries, thimble berries, Oregon grape, strawberries, plus all sorts of edible plants from cat tails to purslane to bladderwrack on the beach.

Edit cause I did more thinking; spruce tips, juniper, wild rose, stinging nettle, dandelion, dock...list goes on man!

There's tons of wild food out there, it's worth learning about.

Yup that's the book to get for the west coast.

Well then google what you put in quotes, numbnuts.

Very first result is an article titled "Wild Edibles in the Sierra Nevada Mountains".

But the Rubicon aint in the mid atlantic?

Lol what in the fuck…why the tux and horn?

 

[Sluggy]

It was written in the 70s, so anything was happening then.

 

[grumpy356]

Remember, it's ALL edible... Once

Mushrooms. Duh.

Damn. If you were in an area you are familiar with and know you only walked 10-15 minutes to get to your rest spot then leave to return to your starting point, when do you turn around because you figure you went the wrong way? I thought maybe an hour but 5 days is solid commitment. Glad the guy is okay.
