He has some urban stuff in it but if you forage at all you must have it already surely?
HFW recommends him, Antony Worrall Thompson had a go a while back too but he misconceived the meaning and got caught

I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

supermarket bins .
bakers bins bake fresh every day.
small shops have their bread/cakes delivered very early in the morning often left outside or hidden around the back/same with milk.
cafes,tea rooms , fast food joints, schools , factory canteens anywhere that sells food cooked or not,bins or deliverys.

I'll admit that to me foraging does encompass finding stuff , be it food or otherwise , in bins and skips and if it's going to be thrown I can't see a problem. However , my view counts for sod all and others have different ideas - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-25945052
I wouldn't condone taking from a shops supplies or deliveries , that is theft pure and simple.
