Let me introduce you to "old reliable"

My beat to crap copy of

"Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast - Washington, Oregon,

British Columbia and Alaska"

By Jim Pojar and Andy MacKinnon

First published 1994 by Lone Pine Publishing

ISBN 155105-040-4

Includes extensive information on edibles, poisonous ones, and

Aboriginal uses of all.

Nicest of all, it is printed in field guide size, which means

You can throw it into your ruck when you are banging around in the hills.

Excellent, excellent volume.
