I think these are thistles but I'm not sure.
And I have no idea what these are but they are all over the place. some kind of berry bush.

Yeah, the first im pretty sure is a thistle too, watch for the pods to open and let out fluff, thistle down is an excelent tinder!

Thistle-This common biennial is a fine source of food from spring through fall. In its first year the plant forms a rosette of tender but spiny leaves; trim the spines and eat the leaves raw or steamed. During the second year a purple flower appears on the plants atop a spiny stem that tastes rather like an artichoke; peel, slice, and boil it. The root is more nutritious than tasty; eat it raw or cooked. First-year roots are best.-Back to Basics, p.423.
