Wild Foods - BBC

Incredibly boring but very information rich documentary that is still being aired weekly. It sets out to speculate on how Hunter gathers in the UK would have lived, and what foods would have supported them though the seasons.

I was surprised how much food could be taken from the ground or coastlines! Much of the stuff they cover in this I'd have no problem eating, it's not all bugs and slugs Smile

I'd recommend this as a good starting point for those who have become peak aware but have no real preparations, as it's very fesable with some knowledge you can live off the land.

So far 3 have been aired, and you can watch them here. I think a new one is aired every Sunday in the UK, 7pm BBC 2.

Thanks for this, Resurrection.

I don't find it boring at all. I find it incredibly interesting.

i have to say i don't find it boring at all as well. All of ray mears programmes are very interesting and this series is probably my favourite.

Funny enough im going to see him do a talk on tuesday night
