lew Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 What I find interesting is how so many of you guys are all bent out of shape because some poor lady didn't recognize a raspberry. Take a look around boys, there's far more things to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Lew, I think it was her reaction people are laughing about, not the fact that she didn't know what he was actually eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Nope, just read some of the replies to this post Bill, some of these guys think everyone who lives in a city will perish in the next big storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Nope, just read some of the replies to this post Bill, some of these guys think everyone who lives in a city will perish in the next big storm. maybe not everyone, but a lot more than there used to be. I think the point is that people in general are losing touch with nature, and what it provides. I work at an outdoor education center, and I see kids every week who have never set foot out of the city. I bet it would shock you to see what some of these kids are missing out on. S.

Wouldn't shock me at all Shayne but it's not limited to city kids as I can show you country kids who wouldn't know a raspberry from a goat.

iFish4real Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 You should have fell down on the ground and started writhing in pain. Her head would've exploded.

crappieperchhunter Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have met kids that have never been to the city and experienced such things as the subway. It works both ways. Yep I agree. The world is a big place. A little knowledge about all aspects is important. I come from a rural area. Far to many stories of older rural folks who for health reasons are asked to consider moving to the city. Some are to stubborn or afraid to go and I have seen the stress it causes not just them but the whole family. Us outdoor types are not superior to city people any day or in any way. We just choose this lifestyle because it is what we enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I still think the point was that people in general are losing touch with their roots. Nobody said anything about anyone being more superior. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 My brothers claim they're no good at it---they seem to be good at holdin a glass and watchin me tho On one of our fishing trips, the group set a rule that we all had to clean our own fish. Every year the same 3 guys, self included, wound up cleaning all the fish for 30 people. Needless to say, it was a bad decision . At least myself and the other cook knew which fillets not to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just choose this lifestyle because it is what we enjoy. Well said. I believe it's all about balance and personal preference. I grew up in the city and I'm glad that I have friends who introduced me to the great outdoors. Can't imagine how much I would have missed out otherwise. So now I try to share the exprience with family, friends, and the next generation whenever I could. That said I've brought friends to go camping (the pooping-in-the-toilet type) which became their first and last experience. To each their own I guess.

manitoubass2 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Lots of lola in this thread:)we forage everything possible, from raspberries, raspberry leaf, plantain, dandelion, stinging nettle and the list goes on and on. Out on fishing trips my kiddos can identify plants, rinse and eat. Makes me proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Awesome Rick. My eyes are always trying to spot edibles in the bush. Nothing better than a mitt full of raspberries down the gullet followed by another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing better than a mitt full of raspberries down the gullet followed by another one.yep our eyes are always open and we are almost never disappointed. I always bring 2-3 or those reusable grocery bags when were in the bush or just out and about. Last week we found a wicked blueberry patch. Walked out with enough for a whole year after 2-3 hours, and still left plenty for the bears lol. One thing we have found i abundance is chocolate mint and wild mint. Makes awesome teas when dried out. That stuff is everywhere here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
