What to eat when you are "out there "

[sleek]

I have decided I am by far, a better fisherman than a hunter. Im not much of a gatherer, and because I have no idea where I may be if stuff goes down, or if I am lost wandering, i cant depend on local fauna knowledge for food. I would be stuck hugging water as a food source.

I wish I could think of a way for guaranteed food source. I have my water situation figured out with those microbial filters you can buy at walmart. I recommend them too. Keep em in your bag, your car, and house. You never know where you will be of a quake bits, or russia does.

Trapping is my thoughts. You can be fishing or doing other chores while your traps are on duty. You can use those fish scraps as bait....

Now that's survival thinking!  Get meat, I hate the idea of bugs n grubs etc!

As they say, Ugly First. Start eating the worst looking stuff right off the bat and then the kinda gross looking stuff looks better.

As a younger, single man, I used to call that going ugly early.

Water is initially more important than food so I am in agreement with the filters.

  If at first you don't succeed, just lower your standards. Works for food too.

You'd better get your fire situation figured out first.
Even wild food is safer for your gut cooked. Not to
mention boiled water. Forget about frostbite and
a good nights sleep.

Fire is simple. If its not simple, you dont belong there.

[bubby]

Sleek fire is never simple in an emergency, sure i can start a fire with flint and steel but what if all the starter is soaked? There is always a wtf moment in an emergency

[bjrogg]

Fire is simple till you need it most. When everything is soaking wet and your shivering so bad you can't even hold anything then fire can be almost impossible. Then it pays to know every trick in the book. Fire is all important maybe not essential but all important.

If you are around water like we are in Florida, get yourself a Cast net and learn how to throw it.It is legal down here in saltwater or fresh. And I'm with you, I'd probably park myself near a large body of water. Usually plenty to eat whether in the water or aroung it.

It may sound like cheating but I have Bic lighters stashed everywhere.

[Zuma]

"If stuff goes down"
Can you get filters and bic lighters?
Here's a small list.
 Fruits, berries, nuts, grains, grasses, tree buds, mushrooms, cattail, inner barks, groundhog, opossum, racoon, squirrles, rats, mice, snakes, lizards, frogs, worms, crickets, hellgramites, minnows follow the buzzards and crows etc, etc
Oh yeah bring Outback Bob
