- PRODUCT INFORMATION
- SPECS
A spin-off of the original Foraging Bandana, the Foraging Neck Gaiter was designed for those who want a field-reference tool that also provides quick and efficient protection from the elements. The Foraging Neck Gaiter is Made in the USA and provides neck and face coverage during any season, while on the trail, river, or while foraging.
Features of this bandana:
- Lists the most common plants/fungus of North America, including their common and scientific names
- Indicates the field uses of all 12 plants/fungus using part indicator icons on each plant illustration
- Includes the ”5 Steps of Identifying Edible Plants” by Samuel Thayer and ”Rules and Ethics of Foraging” by Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen
We designed this print to act as a learning primer, field aid, and emergency reference for all levels of foragers.
The imagery on this neck gaiter was designed in cooperation with some of the finest foraging instructors. We worked with experts, Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen and Dr. Nicole Apelian to choose plants based on the following criteria:
-
Abundance in the USA
-
Ease of Identification
-
Few or no poisonous look-alikes
-
Ability to represent on a bandana
-
Ease to process into its usable form
