This one. The dude who wrote it has worked closly with native tribes for a while and devoted a section on each edible on what you can do to "give back" to nature and make sure that these beauiful resources stick around in abundance for generations to come. I love it

I know you are in Oregon, but I'm on Vancouver Island which is practically in the US and as west coast as it gets. Many of the plants growing where I am grow in parts of Oregon too. Consider fining this book or one similar. IMO a good Id book with images is the most important thing to carry with you (aside from gloves and a pocket knife).



Here are a few books I do not own but have read or heard people recommend.

I really like http://www.amazon.com/Pacific-Northwest-Foraging-flavorful-blueberries/dp/1604693525 Nice color pictures and descriptions. It's not field guide sized though.
