yeah, but in a lot of areas, there's just not enough of them to keep you alive. With the exception of nuts, acorns and cattaills and only in SOME years for the nuts, you burn almost as many calories gathering and processing them as you get back. Euel Gibbons was smart enough to harvest their seeds and plant (or translat them much closer to his home, much more densely. He studied what sort of soil and growing conditions each type favored and saw to it that they got those things. THEN they cover your needs for vitamins, minerals, and carbs, but he admitted that you still needed to hunt trap, and fish. to get enough fats, protein and calories. My mom gardened until about 30 years ago. Us kids had to help and to pick berries in the woods and at the strawberry produce-farms, too. I hated it. There was one old cow who raised hell whenever we tried to put the milking machine on her and I'd have to hand milk that old beech, 3-4 gallons at a time, twice a day, It sucked.
