The Wild Life: A Year of Living on Wild Food is a 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.

Overview

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.

Robert Macfarlane, author of The Wild Places, praised it for its blend of humor, honesty, and insightful commentary on the land.^[1]^{[better source needed]} The Sunday Telegraph highlighted its fascinating account and meditative quality.^[2] The Ecologist described it as an"initiatory and spiritual journey", "a life lesson for us all".^[3]

The book covers the philosophical and ethical dimensions of foraging and living off the land in the modern world.
