Because carrying one's own food on the trail can be a bit heavy, would it be feasable to find one's own food on the trail? my only experience with doing this was on a backpacking trip over in North Carolina where blueberries were a plenty and we ate them off the bushes.
wild blueberries are delicious, yet i do not believe that one could be sustained entirely on blueberries while hiking the AT.
what are some other options for food; edible plants, roots, mushrooms, etcetera.
any advice pertaining to this will be greatly appreciated..
