[SteveP]

We haven't suggested eating bark or pine cone nuts or pollen yet.

The following is an overall guide to several categories of plants that can be gathered either in winter or fall or year round in some cases. Note good old cattails is right up there! http://tacticalintelligence.net/blog/the-fantastic-four-4-essential-wild-edible-plants-that-may-one-day-just-save-your-life.htm

I expect we may have to wait for a next product release for substantial new food sources; not really a big issue with the current first release. The forum activity seems to have died down from anticipation of Story Mode and the expected end of new functionality. Can we talk about the future after product release? Is there a future after product release? I recall that Hinterland said they planned future TLD product releases possibly for other seasons.

Reminds me of another critter that lives almost exclusively on bark, the porcupine! This cute but prickly fellow can be a year round food source. The quills are a potential resource esp for decoration of clothing.

Beavers also live on tree bark and can be harvested using dead fall or spring traps. The fur is a valuable resource as well as the oil glands. How did we come to have a uniquely Canadian game without this quintessential creature?

I think that you can make a tea form bark, in fact there is a tea made of bark it is called taheebo tea I used to drink it all the time when I was in training on low temperatures. It will boost your immunity, keep you healthy and cold resistant however I don't believe that it comes from birch trees, It comes from the rain forests in South America.
