Recently, we changed our regular ninety percent lean/ten percent fat hamburger to bison. We have had it before, great burgers, hot dogs, and sausages that are known to be less calories and leaner than other meat.
For us, attempting to get healthy and lose weight, bison is ideal. However, we wonder if when going into a chaos situation, the mighty bison would be the best choice of meat to eat.
Granted, if you manage to take down a whole bison you and your family will be eating well but it is the select potions and the very leanness of the meat that could cause problems.
The protein is certainly there but what a lot of people do not understand is that man needs a certain amount of fat to keep them sound. In this day and age, you can get that fat from other sources but what if those sources were no longer available to you?
After the break go to the next page and read-up on three animals, nutritionally speaking, that may do more harm than good during a SHTF scenario!

I eat all three now. And will in a survival situation.
What about catfish, deer, and nutria.
Bad info here. If you are raising rabbits in cages and feeding them barley, clover, and alfalfa fodder, they will have enough fat to prevent rabbit starvation. Besides, if you are trying to live on a single source of food, you are pretty dumb anyway and the gene pool will benefit from your loss.
Psh, try eating just one thing of just about anything and you’ll starve to death. Maybe a certain kind of bean could keep you alive for long periods of time without any other food…but for how long
Rabbits got the bad rep of starving people to death when the pioneers ate them for months on end ’cause that’s all they could get.

And those were wild rabbits, which, like any animal, has a much lower fat content than its domesticated relatives.
No news here
They can t do any harm
Simon J. Williams II, just throwing this out. In the summer and spring, I think the rabbits as many animals, carry little to no fat. In the fall, they “bulk up” for winter.
I’m guessing depending on the time of year. For deer anyway. They put on fat for sure in the fall, preparing for winter. I’ve taken deer most every year. There is plenty of fat in the cold months.
That is going to be a problem for any lean meat, to supplement your need for fat in your diet you have to eat nuts.
I guess that also depends on region. It would probably be useful to render the fat for later meals as well. It’s a good thing wild hogs are also abundant.
Idiots. If you are starving, eat whatever you can get, don’t say this only 200 calories and I need 2000 and throw it away.
If you are raising rabbits for the express purpose of eating them, you control their diet and activity and thus can control their fatness.
If you try to hunt wild game, you are absolutely correct, but domestic meat animals have a very different lifeatyle.
Any survivalist worth their weight in BS knows that the liver, heart, and brain are the first items you should be eating of any creature you kill for survival purposes. The meat is mostly belly-filler and nutrient-vacant calories. I gotta un-follow you guys. Too much regurgitating of half-baked information. You’re going to get somebody killed.
Stupid. Who writes these articles? It’s like a 9th graders diary.
If you eat a whole bison you will get a big tummy ache, unless you wrap it in bacon! Then you’ll have a BBQ!
When in a survival situation you eat what you can. You dont have options.I dont buy this post. They are correct about the caloric intake. That intake is important but not the only factor. These sources are loaded with protein. Strait protein can keep a person alive almost indefinitely. They leave out that the fact that all warm water panfish caught in cold water temps contain a high fat content. If you know how to clean them you can keep that higher caloric fat in the fillet. A fillet that will keep your caloric intake up to par
In a survival situation you are not eating cage fed rabbits. You are eating wild rabbit.
You could Catch 14 panfish in 30 mins with a stick some line and a hook no problem
Not if you are prepared. Listen, SHTF/EOTWSWKI most people are packing up and leaving what ever city they live in for the great wilderness. I get it, but it is a poor plan if you don’t already have a source for food other than a box of 20 year old MREs.
It will take more than a year to develop a self-sustaining lifestyle, if you aren’t already, at least partially, living such a lifestyle already. A self-sustaining lifestyle is not an ‘on the move’ kind of thing either. There is a certain amount of infrastructure that is needed. Anything short of this is a temporary situation and rabbit starvation is unlikely.
The picture is misleading since it’s blue gill .
Pictured : You’d have to eat 2000 bluegill a day just to get to maintain your calories . I’d assume people on this page already know that .
Survival is survival just don’t poison yourself
I’ve got enough fat, bring on the fishys.
Lol. So just starve it’s better to go hungry than not have enough calories…. I thought this was survival
The Irish lived of potatoes for 300 years
“Might as well take them to a turn of the century McDonald’s”— wow what’s this all about. Nature provides the variety in seasons! Disappointed in you guys.
Tell this bullshit to someone’s growling stomach after 3 days with no food
Kent Washington are these the fishes in our lake
Stink bug
If you eat very part of the rabbit, boil the blood and use it in broth, and cook with the marrow you can make it last you longer without rabbit starvation.
Interesting, including the comments.
How about throwing in a few good ideas of what to eat in the wild to round the article out
Squirrel has a high protein content. Almost top of the list. Only need half a squirrel for daily requirement. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat other things as well.
This article is extremely misleading.
The Problem I have~ The Govenment dept of ???? ~ The University study say’s? ~ They always think they know best and are alwas wrong. So your fool if you listen to the crap. They don’t know.
Why are they saying animals when they are showing a fish
This$#%&!@*was written by someone who doesn’t know anything about what they are saying….
They should mention that if you eat the edible organs that it helps a substantial amount you can even eat the eyes and drink the blood if necessary maybe not the most ideal thing but when you’re trying not to starve to death every little bit helps
I don’t think the writer understands what “SHTF” means
Pan fish rabbit and squirrel can cause harm if that’s all you eat. Sumed up 3 clicks in one sentence..
In a true “survival” situation you eat what is available however this is interesting info to have and helpful too!

Thanks you actually tagged me in something useful when trump ruins the country
