RE: Are You Wood Wise
If I was dropped in the middle of some wilderness for a spell and had to go through some inclement weather conditions, I really couldn't say. Lots of things that could happen and Lord willing I would come out. I would do my best. It's a learning experience. Someone who lives there may have just as hard a time here. Could be a great deal better at knowing what is and what is not edible. Many of the first settlers here in Ohio (a wilderness) perished.
I know a brilliant man who as a kid decide to find a certain plant. On his way to school he ate 14 different ones. At school he dropped dead, literally no sign of life. He came around obviously, but his words have stuck with me.
