About the Author

In 1998, when Sergei Boutenko was thirteen years old, his parents took him and his sister to hike the entire Pacific Crest Trail, spanning 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada. During their hike, the Boutenkos ran into food shortages and were compelled to learn how to harvest edible plants from the wild in order to sustain themselves. Eating a diet rich in wild edibles for six months greatly improved their health and helped them to successfully complete their adventure. The skills acquired on the Pacific Crest Trail inspired Sergei to continue implementing weeds into his daily diet. He is eager to share his knowledge and actively travels around the globe conducting seminars on foraging and healthy living. He also maintains a website, a YouTube channel, and a Facebook page dedicated to wild edibles (these sources and others are listed below). Sergei is also responsible for creating the first wild edibles iPhone application to help new and experienced wild crafters hone their skills.
