maple syrup, roots, shoots, buds, barks, fish, road kill; potentially stored foods for previous year: venison, nuts, acorns

book potential
video potential
documentary style
instructional DVD
personal funds required so that wild food harvesting, preparation, and storage can be priority
gray area
exceptions to pure wild food diet:
wild rice to be purchased, wild fish to be purchased as necessary as backup / supplementation, old abandoned apple trees
to be considered as wild food, preserved foods from previous years, seaweed to be purchased in order to be available
whole year even though seaweed harvest to be part of project
potentially use wild herbs from other areas for supplementation or study
learning
finished book / video will be educational in nature
people who wish to learn about wild foods can assist me with harvest, preparation, and preservation of foods
blog entries
foods
seeds, wild vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, animals, fish, insects
winter will be mostly hunting, fishing, and living off of stored foods
hundreds of various

possible postponement if major food shortage, such as a bad mushroom or acorn year (having main staple foods available in abundance in a single year is ideal)
