Go to the grocery store and look for prickly pear cactus. Dry them out and trim them up.
May need to a store with ethnic foods.

Grows wild in OK TX AZ NM and probably a few other places, if you get there and happen to have a sharp knife and leather gloves! Oh, did I mention the leather gloves?

Won't have to wait 2 years for it to dry in Tracy, CA. I do NOT miss those 105+ days of the Central Valley.

I find them when I go hunting, a friends place in the country, on the side of the road.... Just FYI you don't have to use Alumilite, I use Silmar 41. Way cheaper if you don't mind waiting for it to cure . Also to speed up the drying process on the cactus parts, score with razor blade then put in the sun till dry. I also thought of using a food dehydrator at one time, but have not tried it yet.
