Hey,
I worked for 7 years at an archaeological school teaching foraging skills of the archaic Chihuahuan Desert hunters and historic Coahuilteco. I never made much money doing this, so in between programs I travelled a lot (Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Wisconsin, British Columbia) and actually used the skills that I taught to keep myself alive. I also landed a pretty cool gig with Discovery Channel as a consultant and trainer for "I, Caveman."
In between these programs, I survived (I like to say THRIVED) by collecting high-yield wild plants, hunting, fishing and trapping both for food and furs and skulls to sell (which payed for gas and bus tickets). I wrote a book called "Subsistence: A Guide for The Modern Hunter Gatherer" last year focusing on the cornucopia of food available in Central and west Texas.
Last year I lost my job due to lack of funding for the education department at the school, sold my truck and bought an old sailboat to give me a free little place to live and means to fish and hop between the hundreds of little islands between Padre and Mustang Islands and the mainland of Texas.
Basically, if anyone has any questions about foraging for a living, I've got a huge amount of knowledge and experience doing this long-term and would love to share it, no charge! I've lost almost all my friends (various psychologists have said I have paranoid personality disorder, aspergers, or some unspecified mood disorder) who are more mainstream zombies anyway, and would give anything to have some real-life friends who don't give a crap about money, school, careers, politics and all that other virtual, artificial BS.
So ASK AWAY!
