I agree foraging is a fun event. There were some blueberries fields near the cottage and we'd collect quite a bit. Pancakes made with blueberries you picked yourself always taste better. We did have to keep an eye out black bears.
You must have some good memories of that.
Yes, it is one of the aspects I miss from living in a remote forested and mountainous region.
I'm glad my kids had a chance to experience it.
