My journey in Traditional Skills began in 2020 on my trip to Costa Rica. The environment of Costa Rica along with Plant Medicines and my willpower, enhanced my desired relationship to the "basics". In 2020, I also started my first Stone Age Skill Internship for 1.5 months. Later that year, I began another 1.5 year Internship that involved Hunter-Gatherer Skills along with Homesteading Skills; Upon that Internship I've left with several skill-sets (Hide-Tanning, Friction Fires, Cordage, Felting, foraging, and etc) and relationships. My first Plant Mentor and successful author, Thomas J. Elpel left me with a good foundation to start my plant journey and I wanted to take it a step further with studying Ethnobotany in this new (to me) academic environment with the dream to make my path of preservation be somehow professionally recognized.
The path is ever-so evolving.
Nice job on these pressed plants! I appreciate you using the authors of the scientific names with these examples. It is always nice to also add a few more details on the habitat where you found the plant. It sometimes helps with identification if the plant was found at the roadside, or in the forests, etc.
