To fill your stomach, forget the big game like deer and boar. They are more than a match for you and chances are you won’t be able to eat or save the whole animal, leading to a lot of waste. You should instead focus on the next best thing: fish. And one of the easiest ways to capture them? Snares! Learn how to make your own fish snare trigger in the video below and start filling your plate below.

I suppose it should be said that this technique should only be used when you find yourself in an actual survival situation. In most places, it’s illegal to fish with snares unless you are in mortal peril, and the authorities take this very seriously.

Of course, as with all other survival skills, you should still practice setting this trap often. Wouldn’t want to get out there and not remember how to fill your stomach the easy way, would you?
