I read the SAS Survival Guide by John "Lofty" Wiseman, and I'm looking forward to trying out some of the skills presented in the book while backpacking this spring/summer. The book includes a plant identification guide; cultivating this skill is something I've been working on around town (thanks to genuinegirly for turning me on to urban foraging). I can readily identify camas, which is plentiful in the woodlands around here, and I know how to prepare it.

So you can practice, you just have to create the opportunity to do so.
