Done.

That reminds me of something.

Great Basin Indian

More than 200 species of plants were named and used, principally seed and root plants.

...

Children began to learn about and participate in the food quest while very young.

I already turned this article into an audio file (using Balabolka) to listen to while walking, biking, hiking, and working out to go along with all my other audio learning files. This was for personal interest though not prepping.

I just spent 5 minutes beginning a new audio file devoted solely to prepping.

I found this: http://www.wolfcollege.com/stinging-nettle-harvesting-processing-and-recipes/

Stinging Nettle the first leaves emerge from snow or soil in late January (in the Pacific Northwest). The leaves and stem are vibrant green and pubescent (hairy), sometimes with a hint of purple. As the nettle grows, the strongly serrate/toothed margins or edges of the leaves become more evident. Each leaf has a twin on the opposite side of the erect central stem and they’re arranged such that one pair is in the 12 and 6 o’clock positions.

While biking today, I made a quick plan to make 200 entries about edible and useful plants, turn them into audio files, and slowly memorize them over time. They'll each be about 30 seconds long. Once I'm done, I'll be able to talk for 1.7 hours about edible and useful plants of the pacific northwest. I should know the same things as an Indian and start forgetting the things I've been taught to make room, if necessary.

Yes, I'm a transient. I just a bought a 1990 Jeep Cherokee yesterday though to live in so now I'll have more time. That choice of vehicle was partly motivated by prepping concerns.

So that's entry number one.
