The quality of primitive skills and edible plants videos varies widely. Some videos have really good information, but they would almost kill you with boredom. Other videos are fun to watch, but not terribly informative. The challenge is to make a video that both educational and captivating to watch. The Dining On The Wilds videos have mostly good informative content, but not a very exciting presentation of it. Personally, I would prefer to read it from a book. However, if you are a person who learns better from the video format, then these tapes are for you.

The Dining On The Wilds videos includes six tapes covering more than 300 species of plants. Although there is a definite slant towards southern California plants, Kramer and Goude do a nice job of representing the most important edible plants all across North America. Also included is the 167 page Dining On The Wilds Reference Manual by Miriam Kramer. One of the greatest assets to these videos is the demonstrations of skills like threshing grain, acorn processing, primitive cooking, harvesting prickly pear cactus, and harvesting cattails. I recommend using these videos with Botany in a Day. Look up the names from the video in the index of Botany in a Day to learn the essential family information.
