A Credit Card Size Foraging Kit That Fits in Your Wallet!
Dr. Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen's expertise spans far beyond wild edible and medicinal plants. He holds a Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry from one of the oldest technical universities in the US. He is a scientist, who not only appreciates nature, but also has the knowledge to identify, understand and safely consume wild plants.
Mark, commonly referred to as “Merriwether," had a distinct advantage in foraging for wild foods and medicinal plants during his childhood due to his upbringing in an environment surrounded by natural resources. This gave him a comprehensive familiarity with edible plants that many adults never have the opportunity to learn.
Mark's journey started with a passion for nature, which led him to specialize in medicinal chemistry. He studied the remarkable capabilities provided by plants, animals, and mushrooms, eventually earning his PhD in physical organic chemistry. His research culminated in the development of sixteen patents, such as a cinnamon-based corrosion inhibitor for steel.
A passion for foraging and bushcraft earned Mark the nickname he's best known by, "Merriwether," in reference to Merriwether Lewis of the renowned Lewis and Clark Expedition. Subsequently, he established the widely recognized Foraging Texas website, featuring an extensive compilation of wild edible and medicinal plants. By 2014, he had earned national recognition as an authority on wild edible and medicinal plants.

This cardcan fit along side over a dozen Grim Workshop Survival Cards in a tin the size of an altoids mint tin, allowing hundreds of pieces of gear to be carried in a single, palm-sized case - essentially a bug out bag in your pocket.
Space, No Longer an Issue With the Merriwether Foraging Tools
Packing a traditional bushcraft kit or foraging kit for a day outing, or your bug out bag, mini survival kit, or even just a simple EDC (everyday carry) can sometimes be a daunting task, but with Grim credit card tools, that's not an issue. This card is the same size, and thickness as a regular credit card, which means you can always carry it with you, and at just a couple ounces weight, it's never going to drag you down.
