A Wild Edible: Wineberry

Description

While out for a day of filming videos and hiking, Krik spots a patch of wineberry not 50 yards from the road.

*Remember, wild edibles are not to be trifled with. Know for certain you know what you're eating. Usually having a trained guide in the subject area is essential.
