U.S. Army Veteran and wilderness survival expert Richard Lonewolf invested his entire life in recovering the ancient skills of our ancestors. Between 2010 and 2017, Wild Willpower PAC‘s founder, Sondra Wilson, had the distinct honor of writing this well-organized, user-friendly field guide alongside him:
Although written and documented while living among the lower Sierra Nevada Mountain range, where the high deserts of the Mojave merge with the Sequoia National Forest, there are numerous plants and trees covered in this book which grow coast to coast in North America, making it relevant to nearly anyone in the U.S.
More Valuable Than Gold teaches how to make acorn bread, buckeye nut flour, and how to process 6 different edible parts of cattail plants — plants and trees most Americans see every day. It also teaches ancient cooking techniques, traditional medicines, and draws upon Lonewolf’s lifetime of hands-on experience.
“People often say, ‘That’s so wild!’ when something doesn’t make sense, but the wild makes perfect sense: oaks always grow on the hilltops, willow always grows near water, and the poison always grows next to the cure. The wilderness represents God’s Garden — it is where the Creator put the plants before humans rearranged them and put them all out of order! The Garden of Eden isn’t gone: the knowledge was just lost, but some native elders still know how to live with it.“

Wild Willpower PAC is currently fundraising to get More Valuable Than Gold printed at Heuss Printing in Ames, Iowa. Pre-order your copy today (or offer a campaign contribution if you’ d like to just help out), and as soon as we get enough money to get the books printed ($34,000), we’ll send you your copy. Due to the number of color photos throughout the book, we need to print a large quantity of them in order to drive the price down enough to make them affordable: $30 for soft covers, $40 for hard covers.
