There is food growing within sight of your back door. The only thing standing between you and it is knowing, beyond any doubt, what is safe to eat.
If you have ever pointed a plant-ID app at a weed and gotten three different answers, or bought a foraging book whose photos were too small and blurry to trust, you already know the problem. Most guides are written for hobbyists who forage for fun, not for the person who may one day need to put wild food on the family table. And the plants that can hurt you, the deadly ones, tend to get the worst pictures and the shortest warnings.
The Survival Foraging Field Guide is built the other way around. Every plant earns its place because it is genuinely worth knowing and safe to learn. Every deadly look-alike gets a clear, side-by-side, full-color treatment, because that is exactly where other books go thin. And you learn the one rule that never fails: name it twice over, two different ways, before anything goes in your bag.
Written by Hunter Ashford, who has fed his family from wild food for more than thirty years, every identification in this book is verified and every caution comes with a method to be sure. No green blobs on brown blobs. A real field guide, for real stakes.
Inside this full-color guide:
The next time the trucks are slow or the grocery bill climbs again, the ground around your home will still be growing food. Make sure you can read it. Scroll up and click Buy Now.

Inside this full-color guide:
- Full-color ID photos and deadly look-alike plates so you can tell the edible from the killer at a glance.
- Three books in one volume: 50+ edible plants, beginner-safe wild mushrooms, and wild first-aid medicinal herbs.
- Organized by the season you will find them, with a section on foraging the cities and suburbs where most of us live.
- How to keep what you gather: drying, freezing, fermenting, and cellaring wild food for the lean months.
- A calorie-honest approach that tells you which wild foods truly feed a body, and which are only greens.
