Plants

I have found that cat tails are the most worthwhile plant to harvest. However, i find that the calories spent to harvest vs. benefit gained is questionable. Am i missing something in the benefits of the other plants that make them worth spending the calories to harvest?

Old Man's Beard crafts dressings that are antibiotic so you can leave the heavy hydroperoxide at home.

Other plants have medicinal properties as well as some calories to offer and become warming tea when prepared. Worth it when traditional medicines are scarce or you are caught out and freezing.

And don't sweat the calories so much. Starvation is a great survival mechanism. Zero calories in your belly = zero calories expended when doing work.
