Will reach out to shortlisted people with next steps. **Your spot is confirmed only after you confirm via Venmo/Zelle,** and there's no refund unless the trip is cancelled, so please commit accordingly. If someone can't confirm/pay within a couple of days, they will be back to No Go/WL. Same for anyone who hasn't provided the required level of details. * $45 - $60 pp for 2 nights (includes camping permit and firewood) * Prior camping experience is recommended * *\*\*Stay tuned for the Yosemite Firefall Camping event in February \*\** If your attendance is contingent on carpool or someone else's joining, just let me know in the RSVP answers.

We’ll cover: * Basic wilderness safety tips * Equipment to consider carrying: navigation, technology * What to do if you have to spend the unexpected night out * Environmental injuries, including wild animals * Case studies that demonstrate how Search and Rescue works **This is a free talk, but advanced registration is required.** **About Fork In The Path** Fork In The Path offers transformational foraging experiences in California for the adventurous of all ages.

An Evening with Noah Siegel: When Primates Go Full Forager Mode

Learn what mushrooms monkeys have been foraging in Tanzania. ***Mycophagy in the Miombo: When Primates Go Full Forager Mode*** Mycophagy is a widespread yet understudied component of primate foraging ecology, with roughly one quarter of primate species known to consume fungi. Despite this prevalence, little is understood about which fungal species primates target, the nutritional benefits they obtain, or the mechanisms by which they identify edible versus toxic taxa. In this talk, we will explore western Tanzania, and the ecological significance of fungal consumption by Chimpanzee, Yellow Baboon, and Red‑tailed Monkey, where fungi contribute approximately 4% of chimpanzee and red‑tailed monkey diets and 17% of baboon diets! November 12th, 6:30-8pm, in San Francisco All registrations must be completed on our website [here](http://[https//www.forkinthepath.org/registration-noah-talk%5D(https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-noah-talk) "\[https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-mushroom-farm-tour\](https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-mushroom-farm-tour)") **About Fork In The Path** Fork In The Path offers transformational foraging experiences in California for the adventurous of all ages.

Not the 13th

Not so long ago I had in mind to roam along individual avenues as they traverse the city from the Richmond to the Sunset. We will aim to do at least three of these over the course of the winter, and I wanted to start with the avenue that is not 13th: Funston. It would have been fun to do this **one-way** roam on Friday 13th, but it is too long for a Friday roam, and perhaps doing it on the 14th will be a way to soothe those of a superstitious disposition. This roam will start from Mountain Lake Park - we will meet at the playground bathrooms - and end at West Portal. Along the way we will be alongside Park Presidio Boulevard (the green strip connecting the Presidio and Golden Gate Park in the photograph); looping through the park; and ascending to the top of Golden Gate Heights, with an optional sand dune excursion on the way down. The latter half of this route will include some stairs and steep blocks, and there will be some dirt paths along the way. *Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go. Please check the forecast and look out for updates if it is going to be rainy. We may go ahead, depending on the conditions.* *These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.* *Punctuality is always appreciated, for the sake of everybody's time. Please send a message on the app before the start if you are running late, and we will either wait (up to ten minutes) or I will direct you on how to catch up. Once we get underway I have to focus on those who are there, and most likely won't respond.* *Generally half the people who sign up don't actually show up on the day. I do track flakiness and remove people who have a poor attendance record. It is discourteous to those on the waitlist who would like to attend.* *Sending me a message explaining that you can't make it is always appreciated.*
