If I had to go foraging I would probably starve. Around the neighborhood are some great looking gardens but in a situation it probably wouldn’t be a good idea go into their backyard to try and pick from them. There is a plum tree and an apple tree that is planted in a front yard. Over the years I’ve noticed that they don’t harvest them. Most of the fruit is on the ground or the birds get it.
In my yard I have peppermint, bee balm, lemon balm, chives, basil, and parsley so I would be able to make things a little tastier.
There are a lot of fat squirrels. I would have to learn how to trap, skin and cook them. I stocked my small backyard pond with goldfish 4 years ago. 9 of them are still alive and about 6 inches long. Don’t know how goldfish taste but if I’m hungry I probably don’t care. The next closest pond is about 5 miles away. It’s kept stocked by the city so it would be fished out pretty quickly. There is a stream about 3 miles away but I would have to go through private property to get to it. Doesn’t sound ideal plus I haven’t fished in 20+ years.
The beehives still have honey in them. I left it there for the bees to use during the winter. I could always take that but that would mean the loss of the hives.
Time for me to learn some skills.
