- Who is the Foraging Safety poster for?
- Foraging Safety belongs to the Practical skills section rather than to a school year, because life skills is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning outdoors can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Foraging Safety poster?
- Never eat anything you cannot identify with total certainty. There is no partial credit. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Foraging Safety belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Foraging Safety?
- Building a Fire, Six Knots and Staying Found sit alongside Foraging Safety in the Practical skills section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Building a FireSix KnotsStaying Found
- Is the Foraging Safety poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Foraging Safety downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Practical skills section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Foraging Safety poster print at?
- Foraging Safety is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Foraging Safety loses nothing.Printing guide
