Thread: Getting back to living off the land.....

I went for a hunt today, but didn't see any fresh sign... except maybe for what may have been a little bit of pig digging in a nearly dry creek bed. There is quite a bit of Himalayan Honeysuckle growing in this particular area, and now there are quite a few ripe brown berries. I dunno how the berries can be so juicy in our dry summer months. There were also a few blackberries around.

Some people may regard the Himalayan Honeysuckle berries as not edible, and I have read that the plant may be the cause of some problems with cattle. But people, including me, do eat the berries. I don't eat many in one sitting though.

In the picture below, the ripe berries are the brown ones at the top of the cluster. They are sweet with quite a unique taste that could be described as 'chocolately' or like burned sugar.
