Knowing how to find food if the shtf is a good and noble thing. However, imagine looking out onto your property and seeing that purple/red rug bobbing over the weeds.
She's picking that out of a neighbors yard. I'm sure she got permission from the property owner.

I guess she hadn’t heard of hooks and lines.

I guess using a gun to find food is not part of the equation?

What a cretin.
If TSHTF and the grocery shelves are empty, so too will the dumpsters be.
Keep your pets (and children) indoors!
Cheers!

She’s part of the reason I left the PNW.
She’s a pretender.
Going for a week is nothing more than a diet.
Without the “panic” factor of having no end and no fridge to resort to, a lot changes. The “panic” factor is what must be dealt with to survive.
If she wants to test her self, she needs to do what Tom Brown, Jr. did. Go into the middle of the Northern Cascades for one year starting off with nothing but a good knife.

Of course you could survive, unless you ate something poisonous or fell off a cliff. It takes much longer than a week to experience any significant harmful effects from not eating.

I wonder how her foraging would work if she were joined by 280,000,000 others?

Anyway, answering the initial question of could I survive a week living off the land? Well, yes. BTDT.

She's from the nutcase area of Portland. And she will not be looking for animal sources because I would bet big bucks that she is at the very least vegetarian if not Vegan or Macrobiotic. One does need to know what the mushrooms look like because Oregon boasts regular, psychedelic and poisonous.

Should the trappings of modernity become unavailable to us one day, knowing how to find food without grocery stores or even farms will surely come in handy
...particularly for the small fraction of the current world population which can be supported by foraging.
