Not all animal meats are equal. It's easy to assume that most or all animals have similar nutrition values and provide the same level of sustenance, but that mindset is a mistake.
Most of us eat beef. pork, chicken, and fish on a regular basis but we rarely think about the nutritional content we consume. Sure we're mindful on the number of calories or fat content we consume, but that's it.
When we buy our food from a supermarket or we hunt for fun, we often take it for granted that we're getting something good. That mindset may be fine in everyday life, but it won't work in survival situations.
Some meats are better than others and we're about to show you 3 animals you may want to reconsider if you're looking for food in the wild.
What animals should you avoid in survival situations? For one, you should avoid super lean meats. You would need to eat far more calories in a survival situation and the animals on the following pages cannot provide enough calories to sustain life.
Take a look at this post to find out more about the 3 animals you should avoid eating in the wild.

That was dumb.
If the SHTF you are going to EAT WHAT EVER IS AVAILABLE
I would go ahead and put most everything on the list. Hunting requires many many calories and big game is a game of chance. I would bet that your average joe wouldnt come out ahead in a survival situation. Trapping is where its at. You said that fishing was passive, well hunting can be too.
Eat the brains and other fatty organs..
Just survive andEat what you can, it may be your last meal.
Marrow is also good..can make bone soup get a little more from the food
Third time in about a month that they posted this…
Just cook it nice and hot and you’re good. We’re all gonna die anyways and survival is do or die.
It works for me. I need to lose weight anyway.

Yeah!<3
anyone else love this as much as me
Prep methods make the difference. In time, skewered roasted rabbit or squirrel does become hard to digest because residual fat in the intestines is gone. Stewing these critters with internal organs and cracked bones as well as a few grubs or legless grasshoppers will help alot.
That’s why you should have lots of bacon to wrap your rabits in to keep you safe
and the rifle one, and the one on skills.. good to have 6 repeatable items that no one notices.
That just dum
I wonder if the author has ever truly been starving.
What a joke. Does anyone out there eat just rabbit? Or just pan fish? No.
Always have pemican ready for a survival situation, it will be the difference between survive and thrive.
Have you ever been in a survival situation?
No survival situation would you be eating the same thing for that long of a period. You would be eating a lot of things and is easily provable by all survival situations. As a hunter I can personal say that you don’t get what your after you get what presents itself and its never the same thing all the time.
Weather I have been or not is irrelevant. It’s basic common sense if you have any understanding of how hunting and fishing really goes.
This blog is a big disappointment with a lot of empty blather!
More harm than good? No! Id like to see facts on things that could really hurt/kill somebody in a survival situation, like don’t eat polar bear liver…ever, as it contains letal doses of vitamin A.
Stop sharing this post, this is literally your guys’ worst article. And you guys have great material. Just don’t go full retard.
Is figure mix rabbit meat with a can of stew and your good to go. I’m pretty stocked up on can good. I’m sure the nutrition facts are just the good meat not to mention the fat, and other pieces you would eat in a survival situation.
Mix it up!!!
One rabbit
One squirrel
One pan fish!!!!!!
So…. All those processes foods& fast-food chains are Better??? With1out of 3 diabetics.Cancer patients etc…. Nothing is Safe!!! Pesticides= veggies oh organic, radiation from Sun, or contaminated water , air, Your choice live it Up!
BS

This should be taken down as it is false and full of high holes
Starve to death eating rabbits Not enough fat
This article makes the assumption that squirrels and rabbits cannot be caught passively. A snare or other passive trap burns no more calories than a fishing line, trap or net. Calories are calories. I’ll take ’em all in a survival situation.. Including plants, worms, bugs, and grubs if larger game is unavailable. Archeological evidence suggests ancient man was an opportunistic omnivore when necessary.
That’s bullshit i was raised on rabbit
So if you eat rabbit you die? What if you don’t eat at all will you survive?
You gotta prepare it all the southern way, fried and peppered with fat. That’s how we do.
Imagine that, more unsupported nonsense. I’m gone and I recommend everybody else do the same. This page is doing more harm than good to anybody following it.
The premise of this article is complete B.S. and everyone knows it.
This is ducking bullshit.
Terrible. Rabbits are super high in protein so great in the wild. Of course you would be nutritionally deficient if you ate just rabbit, but you’d be the same if you ate just mushrooms. Or just beef. Or just apples.
The author of this piece is an IDIOT…
Or just Facebook articles.
Where I’m located in Florida rabbits are everywhere, pretty sure they were a staple for Florida settlers.
Talk to me about nutrition when you haven’t eaten in 4 days.
Exactly what I was thinking and also how people here in the great depression did live off them along with plants ect.
Not the best article ever.
They take more energy to digest. Not good if actually in survival mode.
No it’s not at all.
You’ll die a lot quicker eating tree bark, I’ll take my chances on those three.
