The eating of minnows

[Rick]

I should also mention that trap can also be used to catch crayfish.

Id have to agree with Pict @ Lud That the frying thing would be the way to go.

Is a crayfish the same as a crawfish?

[Sarge47]

Why not just stick a hook through the little guy & catch a big Bass? Seems like that'd be more food?

Yup,or crawdad if you prefer.

No crawdads around here, thanks Nell.

This info helps a lot. Right now I'm trying to broaden my horizons for outdoor foods. I get tired of seeing everyone always relying on nothing but pre-packaged meals when they go on trips. I want to go the opposite direction, rely on my skills first and freeze dried food second. Besides, minnows are free, mountain house meals are almost $5 apiece.

Amen to relying on the skills... I saw a post about trapping a second ago using coil springs... I was like, where are you gonna get coil springs in the woods? I wanna know how to even make string (eg rope) out of plant fibers and everything! There's no 550 in the woods either, lol.

Use the search button at the top of the page ex; "making cordage", "making rope" etc. There's quite a few as I remember. I think Mac (Pic) even made a video of making cordage.
