Most people, going into the forest in search of mushrooms and berries, do not think about taking with them the things they need to survive in the forest and return home safely without loss of health. To find edible plants and mushrooms, to provide yourself with water, without which a long existence is impossible, you must have certain knowledge.
Instructions
Step 1
Dig up a handful of earthworms and place them in running water for several hours. This will leave them with digested earth, and if possible, boil them before eating them. Of course, one kind of such a "dish" instantly disgusts, but it must be remembered that this is the most nutritious protein food.
Step 2
Try to catch the frog. Its meat tastes like chicken. Remove the skin from the frog and place its legs on sticks, if you have the opportunity to fry them over a fire. Less pleasant forest "game" - mice. But they are much more difficult to get than frogs. Meat can also be substituted with lizards, grasshoppers, and snakes.
Step 3
Try to find a river or lake and look for water lilies. Their roots are rich in protein, sugar and starch. Dry them, soak in running water and grind into flour. It can be added to soup for satiety or baked into bread. This flour can be made from dandelion roots and acorns. Find burdock roots. They can be eaten in any form.
Step 4
Use birch sap to quench your thirst. Cut several V-shaped holes in the bark of the young birch. Roll the leaves into grooves and insert them into the holes. Attach a container to collect the juice on the tree. Maple sap can also be obtained in a similar way. If you find cattail rhizomes, cut into pieces, dry and grind. From the resulting mixture, you can brew a coffee drink. Tea can be made from various herbs, and berries and nuts can be used as a dessert.
