🌿 FORAGING SAFETY:
⚠️ I only forage plants I'm 100% certain are safe and edible. Never eat wild plants unless you have proper knowledge and training. When in doubt, DON'T eat it. I've studied wild edibles extensively and know the area's safe plants.

Safe plants shown in this video:
Wild onions (Allium species) - distinct onion smell
Wild berries (identified species only)
Dandelion greens (common edible)

Always research local regulations before foraging.
