Sounds like a lot of work.

thoughts?


Last night during supper my 6yr old daughter asks, "How do we taste?"
"Kind of like pork." was my response. The look on her face was pricelss as she figured out what I meant. The wife's glare...eh, I'm used to it.

I think the main thing is to be aware that you are going to get hungry even if you do exactly as you stated:
A) be able to suck every last calorie out of your surroundings by trapping, netting, shooting everything from minnows to songbirds.
B) bring high-calorie-dense foods with you.
C) minimize energy expenditures.

Pre-planning/being prepared is always the best choice. Honestly, I posted this in response to a lot of e-mails I get from people asking me how to survive indefinately in the woods on JUST wild edible plants. They never like my answer: "you can't".
