Description

This deck from Ready Hour features 48 different edible plants found in the North American wilderness. The Ready Hour Edible Wild Foods Playing Cards deck is full of valuable, survival information. Sometimes, you have to forage off the land for food! 

Each edible plant is shown in a full-color photograph for easy identification. A map identifies the geographic areas where the plant grows in the wild. The card face explains warnings, characteristics, uses, plant parts, aliases and special cooking hints. For example, the stems, leaves, flowers, and hips of roses can be eaten raw, sauteed or steamed.

Each Ready Hour Edible Wild Foods card deck comes with a key chain to keep the cards handy during hikes and camping trips. This deck is ideal for hikers, campers, scouts, survival experts, gourmet cooks and parents wanting to teach their children about the abundance of wild food around them. These Wild Foods Playing Cards have traditional suit marks and can be used for many fun card games or poker.

The cards measure 3.5 x 2.5 inches, same as a standard playing card.

Live off grid

"CAN BE VERY USEFULL CARDS CONTAIN INFORMATION WHERE U CAN LIVE OFF THE LAND"

— Dennis W. (5/5)

I can’t play cards with this deck of cards.

"First, I spend too much time looking at the pictures. Second, I spend too much time reading about the pictures. Then, I spend too much time talking about what I learned. If you want to play a game of cards, use another deck. If you want to learn about edible wild food, these are great. Presumably, I’ll eventually play an actual card game with them, it just hasn’t happened yet."

— Nancy P. (5/5)

Super

"These are really great. Excellent pictures and descriptions of the plant on each card. I love the fact it comes with a small chain to keep the whole deck together so none can get lost. I’m very happy with these and glad I bought!"

— Kim L. (5/5)
