Searching for food and living off the land in the winter may sound tough, and truth be told, it is. But it’s not impossible.

Good stuff. I've never tried acorns or wild mushrooms. But I've tried the other stuff. Pine needle tea is actually pretty good. Maybe next year I'll try acorns. Not many oaks left out here.
I'll also add that every little bit of knowledge like this will help you in a survival situation. Learn what plants are edible in your area and actually go out and try the stuff so you will know if you are allergic to them.
No oaks in Texas ? Climate related? Disease?Originally Posted by Arklatex

There out here for sure. But I'm in east Texas. The piney woods. And Weyerhaeuser has taken most of the hardwoods out and replanted pine. When I was in Dallas oaks were everywhere.

An interesting read on acorns. Apparently you can make flour and cooking oil from them.

Ok now this is cool - Acorn Pasta
ACORN or CHESTNUT FLOUR PASTA DOUGH
This is a pasta sometimes made in Puglia, according to the excellent book Encyclopedia of Pasta. This is a rough, rustic pasta that cries out to be served with game. Ideally, wild boar, venison, wood duck or mallard – something that actually eats acorns. Do not expect to make super-refined pasta here, unless you have the ability to grind the acorns that fine.
