I don't have much naturaly, but there's these; Deer, grouse, maybe some turkeys, geese, bear for meat. There are hazelnuts, rasberrys, choke cherrys, cranberrys, a few blueberrys and strawberrys.
I've heard you can eat cat tail roots, beaver, racoons even porky pines. I havn't tried them.
I plan on planting apple, potatoes. It sure would be nice to have a ballanced diet right there.

Bout all I have is berries, black, ever bearing, Himalayan, black caps, four varieties of Huckleberries, high mountain strawberries, Salal, Cut throat trout, Salmon berries, Hazelnuts,Oregon grape and all are seasonal.
The Salal is my favorite and most plentiful, can make a lot of stuff with it and it keeps easily especially if de-hydrated.

Desert, so nothing. Well maybe a scrawny jackrabbit if I could catch 'em. I could make Tequila out of the agave plant though to stave off starvation......
But basically nothing, no edible plants I know of, just seeds and such.....

There's decent soil, a garden would do fairly well, though I haven't had time to get one in, I always seem to be busy this time of year.
There's a number of wild things that grow around the area, some berries, and other things, I haven't looked into it very well, and I'd like to. There's also whitetail and mule deer, elk, antelope, moose, black and grizzly bears, cottontail, jack rabbits, and snowshoe hares, porcupines, skunks, beavers, badgers, wolverines, wolves, coyotes, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, marmots, mountain lions, bobcats, and a few lynx. Many different birds also.

I am sure there are more but we have tons of Blackberries but only a short window as this heat has killed them. As for other things that grow... There are Muscadines, Persimmon (sour) and a few pear trees (from an old homeplace) near my cabin site. A few nut trees (Walnut and Pecan). I have heard of some eating acorns and pine nuts but I am not well versed with preperation of those items.
Also, squirrell, doves, turkey, deer are very abundant. fish and frogs are also something that would be easy pickin's. There are other critters that seem to be abundant, too but they are not on the top of my hit list.
I was just telling a friend of mine the other day that if things get bad, I will probably be eating Robins for breakfast. They seem to be everywhere and have a nice orange breastplate target for a .22lr...
