Open fire, barbeque and Dutch oven fare are other cooking opportunities at Lifesong Adventures.

Wild Edibles are the last of the Sacred Four. 

Most wonder why wild edibles are the last resource to consider in wilderness survival.  It is because we can survive without food for a relatively long time.  However; food is an emotional comfort as well as a necessity for physical stamina. 

Lifesong Adventures will show you what, when, where and how to gather the natural resources surrounding you. Wild plants can be the primary food source in the wilderness and offer an abundant source of vitamins and nutrients. 

From the amazing dandelion 

 to the luscious, invasive

Himalayan blackberry. 

At Lifesong Adventures we take great care with natures pantry and in the interest of conservation, plants are harvested in small quantities and no animals are harmed.

Cattails not only provide food, but cordage, tinder and weaving material.

Pit Style Cooking is just one of the many ways Lifesong Wilderness Adventures engages participants in the wonders of primitive skills.  Pit cooking is an ancient way to prepare food, whole animals can be cooked in this fashion.  Pit cooking requires preparation by digging a hole in the earth, lining it with the proper rocks and vegetation then adding meat and vegetables to be steam roasted.  Delicious.
