When hiking or going through a park you don’t see wild vegetables such as head of lettuce or zucchini? Or potatoes?
Also never hear of survival situations where they find potatoes or veggies that they lived on? (I know you have to eat a lot of vegetables to get some actual nutrients but it has got to be better then nothing)
Edit: thank you for the replies, I’m not an outdoors person, if you couldn’t tell lol. I was viewing the domesticated veggies but now it makes sense. And now I’m afraid of carrots.

It’s mostly because whatever you are looking for is not native to your area. For example potatoes are native to the Americas, you will not see them elsewhere.
Also you might not even recognize many of these wild varieties, because they just look all too different.
For example there is no such thing as a wild zucchini, all squashes that you know are human made, the ancestor plant looks something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucurbita_foetidissima .
