Awwwww, Josh...why can't we feed the trolls???...they're just soooo
cuuuuute!

Every time I have seen that term (troll) used in posts over the past couple
of days, I think of Shrek.  I just wanna paint myself green and walk the
countryside eating onions out of gardens and fighting for a good cause (not
into saving princesses or nuthin'...LOL) and dancing to all kinds of great
music at the end of the trek!

But, I digress...this again is off topic much as was the post that this
message is in response to.  ;-))

So to steer this conversation back to hiking... Does anyone out there
survive off of the plantlife along the trail much like Shrek did on his
treks?  I would love to learn more about this...as well as the pros and cons
to doing so.  Also, what are some resources for learning more about edible
plantlife along the trail?
