One great wild edible that can help you get your calories if lost in the wild is the American Persimmon. It is also a very tasty and nutritious treat for you and your children.
The persimmons I ate looked like wild persimmons. Some tasted good, but others were bitter. Some years there were more good ones than in other years, so perhaps the weather effects how sweet they are. Some of the fruit I picked up off the ground and other fruit I picked from the tree. Even permissions off the ground weren't always sweet.
I would love to but I live way too far north. It is too cold. I can't even grow the ones in the video. I was down in Missouri for that video. But I would love to otherwise.
