A FIELD REFERENCE AND FORAGING TOOL
Foraging is an art that's all but lost in today's modern society, but it can make a huge difference in your life. A foraging tool like this bandana is meant to give a person power over their situation, leading to purpose, and the ability to self-aid and self-rescue.
The Foraging Bandana was designed in cooperation with some of the finest foraging instructors.
We designed this bandana to act as a learning primer, field aid, and emergency reference
It lists the 12 most common plants/fungus of North America, including their common and scientific names.
The field uses of all 12 plants/fungus are listed using part indicator icons on each plant illustration. The bandana also includes the ”5 Steps of Identifying Edible Plants” by Samuel Thayer and ”Rules and Ethics of Foraging” by Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen.
For neophytes, this bandana serves as a fun, stepping-stone educational tool. For more experienced foragers, this bandana should encourage impromptu foraging, help in sharing the passion of foraging with others, demonstrate alignment with the foraging lifestyle, and help promote awareness of continued education in this field.
We worked with experts, Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen and Dr. Nicole Apelian to choose plants based on the following criteria:
- Abundance in USA
- Ease of Identification
- Few or no poisonous look-alikes
- Ability to represent on a bandana
- Ease to process into its usable form

Excellent value. I like where symbols add more info as to whether the roots, leaves, etc are edible or the parts that are poisonous.

This bandana can be a real lifesaver. Not only can you use it to keep the sun off of your head but while in the wild it can inform you of what nearby plants are helpful and how they can help you. I keep this in my pack because one can never tell what might happen on a days adventure.

I am preparing a survival theme gift and this is exactly what fit the theme. Bandannas already have a million and one uses but this just put it over the top!

I purchased this item the same time as the one with the animal tracks indemnification on it by Wahzoo. Like the other item my only complaint is that the material is pretty thin.It should hold up to a couple washes but that like the other one remains to be seen.I hope I never have to use these items outside of a teaching reference, but at least it’s a nice little piece of mind knowing it’s available to help.
