When you hike the AT you will discover that your eating style changes, habits change and you are going to be consuming fewer calories and burning more calories at the same time. Another thing to know about eating on the trail is that you will need to carry enough food for up to five days and at the same time carry as little weight as possible. On the trail, the two heaviest items will be your water and your food and consequently, these are the two areas that you cannot cut down too much. But there are ways to cut down the weight and I will share them with you here now.

Eating nourishing foods is a top priority for improving the health of your body, mind and spirit. As an herbalist, I like to include herbs and “weeds” as part of that list of nourishing foods, simply because they taste good, and also because they add valuable nutrition not usually found in our supermarket diets. Wild foods are also readily available, free, fun to gather, and often very nutritious.

As an herbalist, I simply love to abandon the confines of the house and escape to the wilds of meadow and forest. If you’re like me -- prone to wandering around in the woods for hours at a time and nibbling on anything that looks half-way tender -- you might have come across young Solomon’s Seal shoots (Polygonatum bi-florum). These poke through the forest-floor mast in early, early spring and look less like asparagus than they do little slender whorls of green. They tend to have a greenish/bluish/grayish cast about them, and are usually smaller than the diameter of your finger.

Ready for another seldom-discovered edible treat from Mother Nature? Another edible treasure you should look for in the woods is the creamy white blossom of the honey locust tree. I love this tree. It’s useful for firewood, for fencing, and (though not many people know it), for wild dining. The mature tree produces white flowers that form a sort of drooping cluster, much like wisteria, that will cover the tree in the mid-to-late summer, depending on your location.
