Bigfoot2,
You really are fast with those videos!


My last trip, I hiked for probably 8 miles before realizing I was hungry.

Sustaining oneself with foraging would take LOTS of time. In fact, I'm not sure one could make serious miles AND forage effectively. I understand walking the trail and spotting something over to the side and checking it out. But even this would limit your miles during the day. I think unless I set up a base camp in a nice area, foraging would only suppliment my diet. Otherwise, I would have to tell my wife that I'm going foraging vs I'm going backpacking.
