Go Foraging around Hitsville

In Norway and Sweden we have a nice legal concept called "Allemannsrett" [lit.: 'every-mans-right']. There's no direct translation for this, but it means that you have a "legal right of access to private land". The implication is that you are free to roam the landscape, and – for example – pick and eat wild berries!

Many city-dwellers may never have had the pleasure of eating wild berries straight from the bushes. They are a treat for kids and adults alike, and a shure symbol of the late summer to early fall period. Fall in norwegian is "høst", literally meaning harvest – so trekking the wilderness looking for edible stuff, is quite culturally rooted...
