Would you eat a barnacle? | Surviving Skills

Published: Sat, 03/28/20

Barnacles are related to prawns and crabs, so, yes! On the west coast, there are several types of barnacles that were eaten traditionally and one that is prized even today. Gooseneck, thatched and giant acorn barnacles are all edible and tasty. Excellent survival food for the zombie apocalypse!

We're creating a virtual foraging survival trip that includes safe and sustainable methods for harvesting seafood and other wild foods on the BC coast if you want to learn more, check it out...

We're all in this together and even small businesses like ours can help out, so we're going to donate $5 from every sale from this newsletter to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

Virtual Foraging Survial Trip

2 hours with foraging expert Robin Kort

A fun way learn some useful food foraging survival tips in case of emergency covering forest to seashore ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. From sustainable edible wild weeds to nutrient rich plants for survival and beach forage superfoods like seaweeds and shellfish. Learn about any poisonous plants you should avoid and simple cooking methods for the food you find in this 2 hour video collection. I've been teaching wild foraging classes for over a decade in BC and would love to share my knowledge with you.

Virtual Trip Details:

Video Release date: On April 10th, we'll email you the 2 hour video package that you can watch anytime. I will be available by email to answer any questions. The great thing about these videos is you can have them on your phone to refer to whenever you're foraging. It's like I'm in your jacket pocket:)

Infield day: On April 11th and 18th(1-3pm), I'll be online to answer questions on the wild foods I've covered. So you can watch infield and I'll help you with ID or watch the video at home whenever/wherever is convenient and email me questions. Note that you are not allowed to harvest from BC parks. I'll outline in the video where you can legally pick.

Discount for pre-ordering $40 (food bank donation included) purchase before Apr 1st.

After this week, the regular price is $45
