dude, where did you learn all this stuff? 

[survivethewild]

@jamz0232 I have been teaching myself for years. I read books, blogs, but most importantly I go out and do it myself. There is no substitute for experience.

You could just as well infect yourself with Giardia or Cryptosporidium by taking that rush out of the pond and eating it raw. Water rats, racoons, deer...all piss in the water or take a dump nearby. A tributary to the pond could have a dead carcass leeching nasty enzyms into the water. A good effort but you need to be more careful about what you eat and how eager you are to eat it before knowing what it is and what it is not. water (especially still water) should be treated with caution.

@HitchHikeHarry I hear ya, but (knocking on wood) I've been doing this for years and have never gotten sick. I weigh all the variables before taking action.

Thanks for an informed comment.

[sniperRobert]

do you eat the whole thing, or just chew it, swallow the "juice" and spit out the rest?

[LilPaisa94]

the pines on a pine tree can also be boiled into a tea and are high in vitamin c :)

btw good time to get cat tail they get woody when they are old lol X(

[GamerSwag]

boil the plants if you are unsure if they are sanitary safe although this may leech out most of the nutrients

Cool to see this!

@HitchHikeHarry As a former Corpsman I can say that you are exactly correct.We have lost many soldiers over many campaigns of those exact causes.Plus, one must also take into account any use of fertilizers,pestisides(which are often sprayed to kill invasive plants by the forest service),and toxins from nearby roads.Never eat a plant from next to a well traveled road.As for the cattails, great survival food,but in a survival situation cooking is number one. Take NO chances.That ONE time can kill.
