Local Foraging Class - Prep Den
Here’s some follow-up info from Heather regarding the excellent local foraging class she led:
- After class we went up Bunco Road towards Athol and found many plants off the road that were more in season so, if you would like to go practice your knowledge, you may want to consider heading there.
- One more point about mullein – It can also be used as a sedative for fish in a survival situation. For fish in a small pool, or if a person can make a smaller pool within any body of water, mullein leaves can be sprinkled in the water and it will put the fish to sleep. It is easier to catch them that way. One would have to experiment with the amount needed this is a skill shared by Joseph's dad who was a Green Beret and was in many survival situations.
