The Dangers of Forestry

[Gazrok]

It's off the fire track, but back on the trapping, I personally plan to make use of the same live traps we use now for intruding critters. Except post SHTF, we'd just eat them vs. returning them back to the wild.

Theres more to survivng in the wild than anyone thinks. Im not trying to come down on anyone, just trying to get some thought provoking started. Woods survival is more than an extended camping trip. I have said it here many times before, 99% of people think they can do it and most wont last 2 weeks with only what they can carry in on there back. There's a lot more to it than cleaning a fish or gutting a deer.

Tribes think it's crazy taking loads of stuff into the wild, The old ways must be kept alive Pass all your skills on.

As Gazrock stated! really no reason not to have conibear traps and ram snares as part of the bug out equipment and learn to use them, trapping is going to be one of the most effect means to gather food, one should also learn using plantain, yarrow and dandelions etc... since medicines in the first-aid kit isn't going to last long, plantain and yarrow may save your sanity plus it's widely available everywhere in the wild

Regular steel traps and snares are the most efective and fairly easy to carry . I used to run a trap line years ago . Working and raising a family stopped alot of my past times . I still have most of my traps . Trapping regulations make where you set them less effective but post SHTF that would not matter . Having a rabbit step in one of my fox sets was agrivating back then but if trapping for food it would be a Blessing .
