  • A must have for go bags!
This set of cards not only can pass the time in a fun entertaining traditional game of cards, but doubles as a survival lifesaver of plant knowledge. Handy on a keychain or in the box this is portable and barely takes of any space. Ultimate preppers guide to plants in the best format available. Great bargain for outdoor fun and survival. Durable thick waterproof cards with easy to read print and great visuals. ... show more

  • Multifunctional
My daughter asked for these even though she’s been backwoods camping all of one weekend in her whole 20 years. I thought they’d be kind of useless and silly, but I was wrong. She was showing me the cards and they’re actually pretty interesting! They show a photo of the plant, description, uses, warnings, regions the plant grows, and can be used as a deck of cards. Pretty neat little set! ... show more

  • Great compact quick reference, study a book for in depth info
These will definitely come in handy in a survival situation. I would recommend doing your research before hand on your region's wild plants. These cards are good for basic info, but it's a better idea to read about these in a book. I live in Texas and I already have some Texas plants and flowers books that I read in (Wildflowers of Texas; Trees, Shrubs, and Vines of the Texas Hill Country by Jan Wrede; Edible and Useful Plants of the Southwest by Delena Tull; A Handbook of Native American Herbs by Alma R. Hutchens). It's also a good idea to get outside, take a walk, go on a hike and identify these plants ahead of time, don't wait till you're in a sticky situation to learn about the edibles and the poisonous plants. I gave these cards 4 stars because the pictures are not very clear. When identifying plants, it is important to see the details because there are many plants that have similarities. I do like that she writes a note of warning about mix up plants and it has characteristic descriptions. The terms are in botony language so if you don't know what leaflets or catkins or ovate means, for example, than get to reading a book about flowers and plants and familiarize yourself with some of these terms. ... show more

  • These are handy
Oh I love these! They're compact enough to clip on my bag and have clear enough pictures on them to identify the plants listed with a great brief summary of pertinent information. It’s a gift for my son which I hope he uses wisely but I will be getting one for myself and the hubby. 🤗

  • Wild Cards: Edible Wild Food FLASH CARDS
These are great. I admit to reading most of the reviews before purchasing these cards and decided to give them a try. These are great! They came in today and I immediately shuffled through them. They have many of the plants indigenous to my area, which I already knew were useful... but the verbal descriptions of the plant along with the sketch and photograph would make it nearly impossible to mis-identify these edible and otherwise useful plants and flowers. The helpful hints are awesome too and there are many different ways mentioned for their use which I didn't know. The fact that they have actual playing card symbols on the underside is amusing to me more than a frustration, because if I want to PLAY cards I'll bring a deck of playing cards, when I want to identify plants I'll break out the Wild Cards. Do not buy these if you are looking for playing cards that are meant to be playing cards. These are meant to be a survivalist aid, the other markings are nothing more than an amusing and secondary entertainment in a pinch I'm sure. Love the keychain chain that holds them all together because they ARE a slippery bunch, which makes it quite easy to slip through them quickly as you're searching for a specific card. They do not stick together at all like "new playing cards" do. These are really awesome and will be a great tool in any survival/evac kit. ... show more

  • LOVE these cards. Everyone should have a pack.
These are incredibly useful and everyone should have a set. They can be used as actual playing cards, or as an indispensable companion on foraging adventures. The deck includes basic ground rules for foraging, and each individual plant/card contains vital identification and safety information. Get one for yourself and your friends! It provides a great excuse to get outside and connect with nature. ... show more

  • Not Playing cards
This might be because I’m dumb but I thought they were/wanted actual playing cards with these on them, so that they could serve two purposes if necessary. Still good!

  • Great for beginners
I love these cards. I had the " first edition" of these. Was friends with the author, Linda Runyon.
