The Wild Life: A Year of Living on Wild Food is a 2009 non-fiction book by British author John Lewis-Stempel. It documents his experiment of spending a full year eating only food that he could hunt, gather, or forage from his forty-acre farm.
In The Wild Life, John Lewis-Stempel embarks on a year-long journey of subsisting entirely on wild food. His experiences range from training a reluctant gundog, Edith, to concocting new recipes with his foraged findings. Lewis-Stempel's approach is not only about survival but also about gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of the land.
