1. I found this so interesting. I’m 49 and I remember as young girl my great grandmother and my grandmother( her daughter) sending us grandchildren out in a huge fielded area round the great Miami river In Ohio to look for dandelions with spoons in hands to pull it by roots. They loved the ones with blooming new flowers. No prickly ones. I remember wild onion greens. Even seed it tasted like pepper honey suckle and their was so much more she taught us as young kids. Wild mushrooms sponges and long ones we called doggy wewes ( lol) I remember walking around the woods and so much you can eat. Daddy called em hickory jacks sponge like fungus that grew on dead trees. Soaked em lightly salted water for bugs. But you don’t see this anymore the forging in the woods wild raspberries strawberries. I told someone I wanna get that hickory jack to eat a few years back. They threw a fit it’s poisonous. I didn’t get cause it’s been so long since I eaten one my dad showed me nd he is gone along with grandmothers. This article has inspired me to learn more on. Forging and teach my teens Boys. In their life time they need to know how. They may experience no stores open for some type National disaster and need this for their families and friends. Who knows what will happen to any of us. Paper money maybe useless no value. So survival is what we need. Thank you for a great article helping me remember grandma dandelion greens all those happy beautiful memories. Opening my eyes up on old forging my elders taught me from when they being brought up I would say 1890 until late me 1970-80s. Ohio was very fruitful in forging as I know remember along little Miami river growing up a small town called spring valley just about 10 minutes south of Xenia Ohio everyone remembers early 70’s tornado f5. Thanks again and God bless. Tina
