For field references on plants look into Petersons Field Guide. These books are well engineered in their layout. Each plant has a photo which is a good feature by comparison to many books that only have a few photos of the more popular plants. These guides have a rugged material for field use and heavy covers for outdoor environment. The pages are laid out with text and symbols so that at first glance the reader knows immediately if the plant is poison, or allergenic and so forth. All books on plants require a second and third reference for cross examination on a plants identity and validity, but for a one tool option, with room for only one book in the pack, Petersons are the way to go.

Yucca has a wide range of uses from being used as soap, cordage, and food.
This plants can be seen in many states. Although this plant is edible, it is not the same plant sometimes seen in supermarkets. Among the many uses as a cleaner such as soap and shampoo, it is also useful for feminine hygiene.
Quick video on soap.
