I came across this video recently, made by "Fili" and "Kili" of "The Happy Hobbit." (These are the same two ladies reacting to the Hobbit trailer in the video that recently went viral.)
The info (and her Ranger kit) is basic, but still, it's great to see others out there with a love of Ranger-ing!

It is good to see folk getting into it.
She does need to brush up on some things though; stinging nettles...yes, they will make you itch, but they are highly useful in a number of ways. You can make good, strong, cordage from them easily. You can rett them much like linen and weave cloth from their fibers. They are highly nutritious food too, and quite easily rendered harmless for use. I search for them, when I am out and about; always good to know where the natural resources are.
She'll learn as she goes along. We all do.

The moment it started up, I called it. "That's California". Probably mid-to-southern cali...the dry sage and scrub brush gave it away. Miner's Lettuce isn't quite as widespread as they suggest unfortunately...it's not out here. Tastes a good deal like spinach. I miss it.

I sent these gals a message a while back, since I range in the same mountains as they. No response as yet.
