That's pretty funny. This looks like a case for Captain Jewelweed!

I am trying to learn how to forage, hunt, fish, survive outside with the bare necessities in southeast Louisiana. I have found a swamp, a fishing hole, and a bunch of HUGE wild boar. The only thing I would need to learn now would be how to fish with no pole, maybe how to make a net? How to make safe drinking water out of the swamp water/fishing hole water, and how to kill the boar. I am also looking for guides on what plant life I can eat. Any ideas?

Plenty of help can be found here. How about starting with an Introduction here http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=14 and then feel free to ask away. Check out the search function as well. You might find some good stuff.

try a large deadfall or a makeshift bow. if you really wanted some danger you could try a spear but those boars will tear you to peices if you dont kill it fast.

First forget the boar. Fishing is easier and a lot safer it's all about survival after all.
Try the search function there's lots of info on treating water and general survival.:)
