Eat Free for Life on One Acre of Land! -- Yes, you read that right. Skeptical? The Author of this book did it for years. Author Linda Runyon was raised during summers at Nirvana Lodge, a tourist camp owned by her grandparents. As an adult, returning to Indian Lake from the Jersey shore seemed the natural thing to do. Homesteading in the Adirondack Mountains without modern conveniences, seeking wild foods, cooking outdoors & learning basic Native American ways became the beginning of "A SURVIVAL ACRE." There are literally hundreds of plants to choose from when selecting food sources. However, the 50 Survival foods listed here seem to be the most prevalent, and are found naturally throughout the Adirondacks, the country & the world. A few are unique to the East or the West United States. These 50 form the basis of an "Environmentarian" diet, and these staples nourish a body well and give great health. (An environmentarian is one who eats from their environment.) Linda has sold tens of thousands of these books. She was featured in People Magazine and has demonstrated her skills using wild foods on National TV. 52 pages long. A great beginning primer for the Wild Food way, this book has enjoyed great success from its first publication in 1985.

4.0 out of 5 stars ok
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2012
For what it is, it is ok. I took a Stone Age Nomadics course, for which this was the text. The drawings aren't useful, you will need at least A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and central North America (Peterson Field Guides), to get anywhere. I would supplement this with at least Tom Brown's Guide to Wild Edible and Medicinal Plants (Field Guide). Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not So Wild) Places, The Wild Vegan Cookbook: A Forager's Culinary Guide (in the Field or in the Supermarket) to Preparing and Savoring Wild (and Not So Wild) Natural Foods, and Nature's Garden: A Guide to Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Edible Wild Plants are also useful to know about. This book has some info not available elsewhere, but no one book has it all in one place.

This book is great! I suggest to anyone that is interested in edible and medicinal plants, get this. Linda Runyon has made a straight forward, easy to understand way to start learning plants. Have fun out there!

This is one of the worse books I had ever had in my hands... Oh, I'm sorry... Did I say book?, no... this is not a book, this is a bunch of photocopies (yes both side) stapled twice to a glossy card board cover.
But forget about the physical part... let's talk about the content.
It has no pictures, only very bad kindergarten drawings (copies of copies) where you cannot really identify anything.
The information about the plants you can find it in the internet very easy... and maybe better information.
This called "book" is a joke... but it gave me a good idea... I'm going to write my own book... as I can see, anybody can do it.
I do not recommend it at all.

3.0 out of 5 stars The best part of this book is how to preserve your wild edible plant finds.
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2010
Overall rating: 3 stars
Plant identification: 2 stars
Plant uses: 3 stars
Picture type(s): black & white drawings
Who will find it useful: experienced foragers and homesteaders.

Notes: This is an old, out of print book. The drawings range from average to poor. On the plus side, it does include nutritional values, medicinal information, some recipes, and information of freezing/preserving wild edibles. It also lists which wild seeds are good for sprouts which no other wild edible plant book does.
This book also gives some plans for creating wild edible plant gardens though I feel a modern permaculture book such as Gaia's Garden, Second Edition: A Guide To Home-Scale Permaculture is better for that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unscientific and under-researched
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2004
Verified Purchase
I found this book to be of little to no value.
The author neglects to mention uses of several of the plants in her book. For example, the author makes no mention of using burdock or Queen Anne's lace for there roots. The roots of burdock are a delicacy in Japan.
Additionally,wood sorrel should come with a warning to avoid consuming large amounts. The oxalic acid in wood sorrel can cause kidney stones in certain people.
The author give no tips on identifying the plants referenced. Even more disturbing is the use of plants that have poionous copy cat plants, and the user is not warned individually about these plants. (Water Hemlock and Queen Anne's Lace, balsam and yew).
(...). And if you are going
to eat the weeds, there are certainly resources with better content, and safety warnings than this book contains.

This little book has loads of information in it and I believe it can be used as a hand book for surviving of the earth. Love the way Linda Runyon discribes everything and the personal drawing are an excellent touch.

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 1997
This creative research was actually a way of life
for this author. She is a wonderful expert in the
field of common plants and she also gives us an
insight into the benefits of understanding the health and joy, that each living organism has to offer us. God gave everyone the abundance to share
in this knowledge and I feel blessed to have come across one, who felt compelled to live it.
