Regardless of your environment, you can find plants that it will provide you with nourishment in a survival situation. But you must know what to look for and know where to look for it. This includes non-traditional growing seasons! Some plants are entirely edible from the fruit to the roots. Roots can be found year round even if you have to dig through the snow to find them!
