Plants are there for you!  whether you know it or not, plants have many useful purposes to help us.

​

Most people walk past dozens of useful plants every day without realizing their value.

​

Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, homesteader, preparedness-minded individual, survival student, or simply someone who wants to deepen your connection with nature, learning to identify wild plants is one of the most practical skills you can develop.

​

With so much information online and countless plant look-alikes, it can be overwhelming to confidently identify which plants are edible, medicinal, or useful.

​

That's why the Wild Foraging Pocket Guidebook was created.

 

This beautifully crafted field guide helps you identify, harvest, and connect with over 50 native and useful plants.

​

Nature has always provided. This guide helps you learn how to recognize its abundance.

# 1 Identify Wild Plants in Outdoor Settings

Learn how to identify plants by family, practice ethical harvesting, and clearly understand whether a plant is edible, medicinal, or has utilitarian purpose in the wild. This pocket guide was designed to help you access critical, field-ready plant information when you’re out on the trail.

# 2 Use the Plant Scorecard Developed by Karie Lee

Karie created a powerful Plant Scorecard that tells you exactly what you’re working with, whether an edible plant is yummy, palatable, survival food, toxic, or deadly. Medicinal plants are rated as daily tonics, first-aid herbs, or powerful “heroic herbs,” so you can make informed decisions with clarity.

# 3 Carry real, usable wilderness knowledge with you

Use this guidebook as your field companion so you can make smarter, safer, and more confident foraging decisions wherever you go. This guidebook is not meant to be left at home on the shelf collecting dust!

Stop Guessing. Start Knowing!

Clear, practical guidance so you can identify plants safely and confidently.
