Portable (Pocket) Soup was made long ago (about 300 years) out of necessity for a flavorful way to fix a quick soup or broth in a pinch especially for hunters, trappers and the military.
It's pretty neat and is kind of like "bullion cubes" but tastes alot better and does not go rancid.
In the event the shit goes south, it may be something worth knowing how to make.
Here is about a 5 min vid that talks about how to make it.

Foraging wild plants has been done down thru the centuries.
I must issue this WARNING :
Unless you know what you are doing, eating wild plants can be dangerous and even lethal !
The best way to learn foraging is to find a local expert in your area and get a regional book that applies to where you live that identifies edible plant species.
Plants that pretty much grow everywhere in the US that are safe to eat are:
DANDELION - greens for salad, flower and root for tea
WILD RHUBARB - found around old farms and homesteads, stalks only, leaves and roots are poisonous.
WATERCRESS - found in creeks and streams, vine like, all parts are safe to eat as boiled greens or salad.
ACORNS - dried, crushed then boiled (draining off water after 3 boils and replacing with fresh to remove tannic acid) then dried makes a kind of flour. Good for making flat type bread cakes and thickening soups and stews.
Search the edges of farm fields for CORN, RICE, WHEAT and SORGHUM that grows wild.

I think learning about the few poisonous ones would be helpful. That way you only have to identify a limited number. Most everything else is edible, just not always tasty.
