Live Off the Land

By Rupert Isaacson

Most outdoorsy people probably think that they could get by in the wilderness, living off the land if they really had too. But could you, really? Can you differentiate between poisonous and edible plants? Mushrooms? Berries and roots? How would you trap birds and small animals, or light a fire without matches?

Spend a week at survival school in Hereford and you'll find your life's horizon narrowed to food, shelter, and warmth. Living off the land, trapping your own game, and eating mushrooms and roots like an ancient Celt, you'll come to see nature as both benevolent and vicious.
