Does anyone have a good resource (preferably a book) of plants that are edible here in AZ, and poosibly some ways to use in camp/ backpack cooking?
Thanks,

The ones in Australia are called witchity grub (sp). The aborigal people eat them both raw and cooked. Some say they taste like scrambled eggs...

Re: Edible in AZ
How did you know? That is exactly the first thing they do with the kids at my son's job I mentioned earlier. (Somehow I doubt if anyone has ever brained a rabbit with one, though.) My son also has made a super-nifty set of bow and arrows, with arrowheads he knapped himself. Last I talked to him he hadn't killed anything with them, yet. He even made the bowstring. Not sure how he did that. Bear grass strands, maybe??PageRob wrote:Make a rabbit stick. Then all you've gotta do is brain 'em - they don't run away then!

Would I know your son?
That's the same job as I had from 2006 - 2007azbackpackr wrote: How did you know? That is exactly the first thing they do with the kids at my son's job I mentioned earlier.

Re: Edible in AZ
You're talking about Anasazi I'm assuming. I dated a gal who did that during her college summers. She talked about some pretty weird stuff they do out there...
