[pct-l] Food Dehydrator Tips or Recipes?

[Paul Robison]

There's enough people hiking the trail these days that i'd think we'd have to be 
careful what we harvest and eat.  obviously wild onions are almost invasive;  
but be careful about heavily subsidizing your food with wild plants from near 
the trail,  at least walk off trail a bit if you do.

hope this doesn't sound like bitching.

how do others feel about eating edibles you find as you walk the trail?  is it 
considered taboo?

Good afternoon, Piper,

In ’07 I was taking a break at the junction of the PCT and the south leg of
the Kearsarge Pass Trail with Stone Dancer, Tree Whisperer, and Swami.

Swami took that opportunity to cook something to eat, and while his
hiker-slop was on to boil he diced a big handful of wild unions he had
gathered just below in Vidette Meadow.  When those onions got stirred into
the pot the wonderful aroma was almost too much to bare.  There I was:
eating hands full of my usual dry, brown stuff with a sticky substance –
plus plain water, of course.
