From May 24 through May 30, local "Wild Girl" Becky Lerner will be eating an entirely wild diet as she forages from sidewalks, parks, wilderness areas and yards in Portland. There will be no dumpster diving or mooching off gardens -- Lerner will be surviving on wild edibles only.
"I'm interested in foraging as a way to connect with the land and explore a fundamental aspect of what it means to be human," Lerner said. "It's also a valuable survival skill: 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."
Lerner readily admits that her pesco-vegetarianism is in question. She will face the decision of whether to endure a vegetable fast -- or else eat insects, go fishing or even consider dining on roadkill.

As everyone knows, Peacenik periodically goes into the wilderness to practice his mushroom identification skills and survival skills. Peacenik has even roasted hotdogs in a solar oven. Peacenik considers this experiment by Becky Lerner important. Everyone should have some survival skills for the coming collapse of society and the food chain. Would you eat insects? Would you eat grubs? Would you eat roadkill? Peacenik would. Have a good weekend.
