One of the easiest ways to catch yourself a delicious meal when SHTF is to go fishing. Unless your spearfishing, fishing normally won't use up a ton of your energy. It also requires little resources. In addition, fishing yields healthy fats and protein when you get to feast on a tasty fish.

Even though fishing doesn't require a lot of energy you still need bait as well as a line and hook. Bait is easy to find — just dig up a nightcrawler or two and you're all set.

You can use atural fibers such or a paracord strand or shoelace to make a line but finding a hook can be challenging. If you haven't purchased a factory-made fishing hook you might be SOL unless you learn how to make one from scratch.

In the past, primitive people used to make hand-carved fishhooks and this was even before stainless steel hooks were even around. Any prepper can learn this skill today; it will keep you alive when SHTF and you need something to eat.

After the break learn how to make a primitive hand-carved fishhook that you can use to catch yourself a tasty meal.
