While it's certainly not at the top of your priority list, finding food is certainly going to be a strong point of thought if you find yourself in a survival situation.

You will generally be burning a much higher number of calories than usual, and it's only natural that you'll get hungry and start longing to lessen the strain on your body with some added energy.

When that happens, you have a lot of options, but the main rule of survival foraging is to tackle food that will put in more energy than you will spend obtaining it.

    Remove the head to remove the guts. The guts hold parasites. Their t head and guts or use for bait. Eat the body. Or put them whole on a skewer and roast them over fire.

    What’s your plan when the ammo runs out, the hooks are all snagged and gone, giving line and paracord all used up, etc etc. what about a dry spell on the hunt/fish for a few days. Always have a backup for the backup plan so that when plan A and B fail, you don’t have to think of C on an empty tank.
