1 Month Living on a Wild Diet
« on: June 27, 2009, 10:20:42 pm »
been a while since ive done a completely primitive diet. so im starting today. weighed in at 188 this morning . we'll see what its at by the end of july. today was a lot of wild greens. dinner was excellent. blue gills with ground nut, purslane  and evening primrose roots. primrose added a nice peppery taste to the mix. i went with fishin with the ugly stick. this week ill build a primitive line and gore. i'll try to check in daily.

wanted to add this byline that just because i can eat certain wild foods doesnt mean everybody can. many plants contain tannins, latex etc that can cause illness or allergic reactions. you need to know your foods and yourself.

probaly wont gain weight. every time i do this i lose about 8-10 lbs . most of that in the first week. its the body getting cleaned out. then the weight stabalises as long as i get the protien i need.

well today was the same.  alot of greens. for tonite i harvested a salad and some solomans seal roots. big suckers too. plus i got bonus meat when i wacked a squirrel that happened to run across my path at the archery range. gonna save the venison for when i really need it. blue gills and little critters will do for now. saw a lot of beech nuts  too but didnt get any today. never saw a european beech produce actual nuts. must be all the rain. peace
