Survival Guide: What To Eat In The Wilderness [Infographic]

Thanks to an infographic from UK Oak Doors, I just learned what I could eat if all the supermarkets closed and I was forced to forage in the fields and woods to eat to live.

Turns out my wilderness diet would consist of dandelions (yes, even the pretty yellow flowers are edible), wild onions (you’d know ‘em by their smell, for sure), and, most surprising (to me at least): cattails!

Cattails are those tall green plants with dark brown tops that look like pieces of poop. You see them growing in wetlands, like shallow swamps or little ponds. Apparently the stems and the roots are edible. Not too sure about that top brown poop-looking part, though.
