I'm a rebel. I have no firearm. If we end up moving to a rural area, we'll likely get one for protection. My DH grew up going to the range, and that is in the future family plan. I've been toying with giving bow hunting a try but that's anothe topic.

For now, for food, we'd be looking at our very small urban garden, fish, small game and birds. We'd also have a very small selection of wild edibles that we recognize well enough to safely eat.

In terms of equipment, we've got:

-fishing gear
-slingshot and materials for slings
-rope and snare wire
-mouse traps (thank you Cody Lundin!)
-a homemade bow and arrow set (thank you Scouts!)
-rocks perfect for deadfalls
-about 2 dozen old metal and wood broom/mop handles, that are currently waiting for a Scouting project
-bags of bird seed and squirrel feed

We've also got knives, hammers, axes, shovels, etc. but i'm not sure how practical they'd be as hunting tools.

This weekend we watched Bear make a fish trap and go fish herding by throwing rocks. It looked like a kind of viable option.

Some things not to overlook:

-2 huge pine trees, on our property, that are adored by squirrels and birds
-lots of ongoing practice tracking and stalking
-a few pairs of good binocculars
-one pair of nightvision googles
