I got the answers I needed but will definitely not be back here for any others.

    Dont go away mad Blake! If you worded it minimal camping or bushcraft, you might have got a different response. If you posted a intro first explaining you werent a 12 year old kid you would have got more feedback as well. Stick around, get to know the different guys here..there is a ton of useful info on this site and some great people as well.

    I had/have no intentions of breaking the law. I was merely asking what the law was.

    If you have no food and you are hungry. Isn't it a survival situation?

    Never volunteer information.

    I'm by no means an expert. I don't know all the terminology and I obviously don't know everything I need to know. I am fairly experienced with most things I would need for a minimal camping trip. Hunting/trapping, however, is not anything I've done other than in a tree with a bow or rifle where I slap a tag on it, take it home, and call it a day. I just wanted to know if there were any special laws relating to this that I didn't know about. The answers were pretty much what I was expecting. The attitude is something I was not expecting.

    Not nessesarily, it would depend on the extent of hunger & how obtainable regular food is.

    What attitude? We answered the question in the way it was asked, & now it's OUR fault? Sheesh! You used the term RECREATIONAL SURVIVAL!" That's an oxy-moron. That was my point. In order to answer your question properly I had to address that 1st. Again, if you don't want the answers don't ask the question. The laws will, in all liklihood apply differently if it's recreational than it would if it's survival. it can only be one or the other, not both, clear?

    It's okay, Blake. To be honest, I thought you might be a kid as well. Anywhoooo. Just consider it having been hazed and let's move forward. A poor choice of words perhaps but fun none-the-less.

    Read through the Wa. State Hunting laws that Crash gave a link to. It's pretty complete in my view. If you have a question then a call to their help desk should give you the skinny on WA laws.

    Not that we won't answer your question but if it comes from them you can be assured it's most likely right info.

    You made your point. I apologize that I am not as eloquent as you would like me to be. I'm done here.

    Without a proper intro we have no idea who or what you may be, eloquent or not, the point was made by many of us. We can only answer what you ask. I would have hoped you had a tougher bark on you in light of what you plan to do; guess I was wrong, sorry.

    hey Blake.. dont take it personally bro... It's just that "recreational survival" is, well, kinda a wierd term.... I say practice..practice...practice... but if practice means snaring a rabbitt, it should also mean skin, clean , and eat said rabbitt... otherwise i would not condone.... not that I am now..especially on the internet..

    OK Sarge. I'm not offended. I'm not hurt. I'm not curled up in front of my computer crying. I'm just not sure I want to post a question on here if I have to worry about wording it perfectly every single time (or there'll be consequences!!!). I understand that it was a really weird way to word it...got it. The meat of the question remains the same. Everyone else.....I understand that none of you know me. None of you know of my experiences. Perhaps I should have posted on the intro page first. I had what I thought was a simple question and was just looking for a quick answer.

    Blake, nobody here dislikes you, ok? We just thought we understood what you were asking and answered. It's not the end of the world & everybody on here makes mistakes except me cuz' I'm perfect.

    When a mistake is made, just clarify it & we go from there. No harm, no foul. The problem is when reading a post you can't tell how the person is speaking. I would have been doing so in a matter-of-fact tone & not trying to get your dander up. I personally respect all backpackers for the knowledge they have to do what they do. Yes, an intro would have cleared up a lot, that's why we ask for them. Why not do that right now & become a regular member, no one wants you to leave, & that includes me, ok?

    OK...posted an intro. I'm sorry I got mad earlier. I can see how my question led to some confusion about what I wanted to know and why. I used the term "recreational survival" because I read it on another site. Here is the context it was used in:

    "...A true "survival" situation is unplanned, unexpected, and life threatening. This differs from recreational survival which is a planned activity done for fun..." - http://www.wildfoodadventures.com/survival.html

    I just got frustrated because I was expecting a simple answer like "yes...you have to follow all normal hunting/trapping laws."

    Thanks for your help. I got the answer I was looking for. I'll keep reading and post again if I have any questions.

    Well now you've said it. Feel better? I'm not trying to make any enemies here but I don't see what you hoped to accomplish by "saying your piece" after I've already apologized for my reaction.
