Foraging for wild edible plants on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona. Matthew Hunter shows how easy it can be to forage for wild greens underfoot.
These edible plants(some of them weeds) can be found across most of the United States, if you can find where they like to grow. The urban backyard forms the perfect habitat for many of them.
In this walk Matthew eats wild dock, peppermint, violet leaves, self heal(Prunella vulgaris), plantain(Plantago major), clover flowers and leaves, mullein flowers, oxeye daisy leaves, and good ol' dandelion leaves.

Have you ever been tested for parasites Matthew?(When you said, the dirt dont hurt, I instantly thought about parasites 😅) Also, do you know of any good medical wild plants used to kill parasites? To be fair, I do the same stuff, eating right from the wild, and have been tested for parasites, shockingly I have not had any and I eat sushi 🤔

Don’t forget all depending on your area you may need to get a forest product permit which is usually free but you do need it to forage in some areas!

Rocky Mountains? Arizona? WHUT?

Not technically the rocky mountains, but very similar botanically speaking. In AZ there are alpine and subalpine forests with ponderosa pine, douglas fir, spruce etc. Very similar to the plant life in the rockies, and when you're there you can hardly tell a difference.

It's a shame. My ex husband and I used to camp on the rim in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Why I'm saying it Is a shame! back then the bark beetle we're eating the trees along The new freeway going up to the rim you could see so many dead trees still standing, it was terrible and now look at it! you have trees laying around you. which does Invite other little critters and big critters, like the Famous sasquatch, We did hear wood knocks. We go take a walk and smoke our weed. lol. I was stupid back then, I didn't know you can eat all that wild edibles then. If I know that when I was stupid. lol.😂

Thanks for information on wild edibles! I'm confused about your concept of wilderness, though.???? If you're right next to a road, you're not "in the middle of the wilderness." You're on the edge of the wilderness. Wilderness is defined by the absence of man made anything. The WILD Foundation defines wilderness areas as: The most intact, undisturbed wild natural areas left on our planet - those last truly wild places that humans do not control and have not developed with roads, pipelines or other industrial infrastructure. The Wilderness Act defines wilderness as: (c) A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. An area of wilderness is further defined to mean in this Act an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions and which (1) generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable;
