CRY FREEGAN!

I have been on a couple of dives with the freegans and it has been a spectacular, life changing, experience. Yes, I have been eating what I find. No its not very gross, in fact sometimes its hard to tell what I have bought and what I have foraged.

Each square foot of retail space in NYC has to pull its weight. If a product is not selling it can NOT be allowed to take up space. It must be replaced with something that WILL sell.

What? I am still buying food even though I can forage it for free? Well, like wilderness survival, urban foraging requires the knowledge of where the good foragings are and when. The is no published guidebook, not yet anyway. The first year is the toughest.

Meanwhile, I am finding that I am up to my ears in recovered wood and could use some products and markets.

That will have to end this for today.
