review 1: These 2 stars do not mean "next to bad", but that this book was really Okay. I had exppected it to be more about gathering than hunting and fishing. I had also hoped for illustrations. This is not really a guide as to how one would go about living off the fat of the land, but rather Langdon's adventures in doing so. These adventures are engaging to read although very much from a guy's point of view.

This led to many hours spent carefully poking around the woods not far from my home where I went on to discover the golden forest flowers known as chanterelles. It was fu... moren to read the firsthand stories of another forager, told with humility and humor, sprinkled with history and each chapter capped with a recipe. less
