I agree with what has been said here. Some people think the whole fishing tackle & snares concept to be a little "boys life'ish". On the Other hand Hank Williams Jr said it best "A Country Boy can Survive!" For this Country Boy the fishing line, hooks, etc stay in my kit. Just becuase I'm stranded and awaiting even "certain" rescue; why wait hungry for days on end? Not to mention these items take up almost no room and weigh next to nothing.
I acctualy had a guy on a hunting forum tell me that he did need to worry about constructing a shelter, becuase there were few situations a credit card and a cell phone couldn't get him out of.
I thought to myself, Unless this guy is hunting in his back yard, he is an idiot. Someone will probably pull his dead "ars" off a mountian someday. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
