Packed along some staples, set up a comfortable camp, and spent my vacation "seeking what I might devour".
Ate: Pine, hemlock, berry brambles, rose hips, wintergreen, sweetfern, mint, persimmons, red currants, raspberries, apples, hickory nuts, acorns, oyster mushrooms, venison.
Could have eaten: Freshwater mussels, countless squirrels, three raccoons, 'possum, garter snake, rock tripe, partridge berries, cattail roots, various inner barks.
