Time to break out the old Euell Gibbons “Stalking the wild (whatever) books.”
“Grapenuts cereal reminds me of wild hickory nuts!”

Or my old WILDWOOD WISDOM book by Elsworh Jaeger along with SNARES AND TRAPPING books.

Maybe some of those survivalist books from the 1980s! There are all over the place at second hand stores on line.

How to Stay Alive In the Woods by Brad Angier, or his FIVE ACRES AND SECURITY.

Back about 40 years ago I read that if you wanted to make it as an outdoor author you needed to write a outdoor survival guide as the market then was HOT!

I also found that Brad Angier, who wrote many outdoor survival books, was actually living in a condo in Los Angeles and not on the Peace River in Canada that he wrote so much about.
