Linda Runyon's Master Class on Wild Food Survival, DVD
By Linda Runyon

Jump-start your learning with Linda Runyon's Master Class on Wild Food Survival! In this 3 hour DVD, Linda Runyon gives you first-hand experience and expertise in the primitive art of foraging for Wild Edible Food. This valuable resource complements Linda's other materials perfectly (see Essential Wild Food Survival Guide and Wild cards). Linda is the "real deal," because she's lived it.

In this one-on-one Master Class, you will receive the same insider data that Linda has taught to many thousands of people, from the complete beginner to the seasoned expert. Linda has even taught most of the other teachers in this subject today at one time or another!

Included with the DVD is a 4-page transcript and glossary — a bonus in a power outage!

Linda's core plants are covered. You will find the majority of these plants in all 50 states, and, indeed, in most of the world. A few are unique to the Eastern or the Western U.S.

The Master Class
By Linda Runyon

Despite the title The Essential Wild Food Survival Guide, this book is equally appealing for those who enjoy the comforts of a modern kitchen as well as those who like to snack along the trail.

Linda Runyon begins her book with tales of her 13 years of homesteading without plumbing, running water or electricity. I can’t imagine chopping through ice on a lake for 2 hours in order to have water for a cup of coffee!

The bulk of the book focuses on 60 plant species, many of which are common to most of the US.

Along with information on nutrition, preparation, and collection for each species, Linda intersperses personal vignettes of harvesting and creative uses that I have never before dreamt of.

After the section on nutritional value of each plant, complete with charts and tables, Linda offers an abundant array of recipes, combining wild foods with common staples.

Recipes range from the simplicity of Mint Popsicles to the more elegant Lamb’s Quarter’s Calzone.

Want to make your own wine? Linda offers 6 simple recipes.

This book is packed with information, appealing to the curious beginner or the experienced forager. One thing that sets this book apart from others is the abundance of personal tales and hard-earned tips. As opposed to just flipping through a field guide, I actually found myself sitting down and reading, drawn in by the wealth of information and glimpses of a lifestyle that I will likely never know.

I am thankful that Linda has taken the time to write this book, truly a gift for those of us who are eager to learn from her rich experiences. I am excited to have this book as a new addition to my bookshelf.

Wild Cards
By Linda Runyon

Play poker and learn about wild edible plants at the same time?

I have seen wild edible plant cards before as flash cards, but NEVER have I seen wild edible PLAYING cards… until now!

Classes and books are fantastic ways to learn about wild edible plants, but we do not often get an opportunity to learn and teach others through a game.

Wild Cards are a regular deck of playing cards with 52 common wild edible food plants and their uses.

One side of the card has a color photo, line drawing and a RANGE MAP for the plant.

The other side tells you what part of the plant is edible, what the uses are, characteristics of the plant and REALLY HELPFUL hints about that plant. It also includes the botanical name and other common names.

What are poisonous look alikes?!??!

Don’t worry, Wild cards even tell you if the plant has a poisonous look-a-like.

Use them as playing cards OR as flash cards to improve your learning.

Basically, wild cards are a colorful and detailed wild edibles field guide set on a deck of playing cards!
