Anyone know a good book with photos or a solid PDF? I have googled around trying to find something but most things online either don't have good pictures or are not specific to my area. Other than cattails, honeysuckle, blueberries, ramps, and wild onions, I'm not sure what else you can eat...

I'm so delighted to have found this forum! Now if I could just find a few like-minded folks in the Hampton Roads area (where I live). Surely in my metropolis of two million people, there are a few preppers. But I digress. I'm a middle-aged woman, a professional writer, hard-core libertarian...
