It would depend on several factors. What woods, what time of year, what I have to work with, who I have with me in case I need to go the "long pig" route.:rolleyes::eek:Quote:

probably cattails, frogs, pine needle tea, grouse if I'm lucky, squirrel (most certainly), dandelions, and the occasional thimbleberry bush.
Whitetail deer, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, canadian geese, ducks, dandelions, pine nuts, walnuts, sassafras, acorns, cattails, fish, snapping turtles, bullfrogs and large green frogs. All within a 1/4 mile from me.
Porcupines are abundant here and they are not harvested for that simple reason, easy to get at in case of emergency. Along with partridge, grouse, hare squirel, muskrats, beaver etc... all sort of small critters
qustion carcajou how do you get rid of the quills on the porcupines and do you use them after just curious :)
After killing the pocupine, roll it over on its back, carefully field dress it, cook and eat. Quills can be pulled immediately with either a pair of pliers (breaks a lot) or use a split branch as a "pincher" or if time is of no constraint immerse the skin and quills will fall out in time. Give them to the women for quill works, roaches etc..
Watch out for the barbs on the external ends.
Had a dog that was hell on wheels about killing porcupines, yep was litteraly a pin cushion a few times never learnt his lesson. Had to bring him to a vet a few times when he was real bad stuck (mouth and all) but sometimes when only a few we would tie to a tree trunk, wrap his muzzle and cut the quills and as gently pull them out. never learnt though:confused:
Acorns do not last long on the ground the native American got them up off the ground as soon as they could . So how long will the acorns be good on the ground ?? Cattails roots are good any time and so is arrow root , nut grass , red clover, dandy lions ,sunflower roots ,dock, mustard ,willow buds salads in the spring, pine nuts, pig weed Shepperd's purse,amaranth just to name a fue
mustard, milkweed, birch, pine nuts, cat tails, dandelions, lily tubers, any fish, frog, insect or rodent that i catch... of course this all depends on availability, but there are plenty of foods to eat out there year round. the best thing is to know where you are going and do a little research beforehand.
i know you can eat seaweed from the ocean, would it be safe to eat fresh water seaweed?
There are different kinds of seaweed in the ocean. I know kelp and sea lettuce is edible in spring and early summer.Quote:

Cats, Dogs, Rodents! I do plant seeds when I am out. I got a great crop of Mellon's this year and my beans did well enough that I picked 10 lbs of pintos this year. I call it renegade farming. I plant, when I am out and if I ever need it? I know where it is.
Onions do well here in the desert, close to the rivers. At waters edge Mellon's do well. My beans, I sow out on Blm land and out on the flats. Potato's in the Arroyos.
Don
Ground hogs here are like armdillos in Texas they are every where ang have good meat and skins make handy leather. Plenty of game in the wods and beries,nuts wild fruit fish and the occasional domstic animal gone astray.
Squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, quail, fish (aghhh I'd have to though) deer, sasssafrass tea, pine tea, water (plain) and beaver.
If the rabbit comes with his own carrot a la Elmer Fudd, but if he doesn't....rabbit, wild onions, wild carrots, mushrooms. (Depends on the season obviously) blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, gooseberries....did I mention berries? LOL
Also readily available: grouse, ptarmigan, muskrat, beaver (tends to be greasy) ducks and geese (seasonal again, like the veggies)
Absolute core survival? Inside bark from pine and spruce will provide enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, melt snow slowly and allow it to warm before drinking (people die from dehydration in the high Arctic) lemmings and mice are plentiful all over the north (good enough for wolves, good enough for me!)
Ideally? Shoot a moose or caribou..mmmmm.....and don't forget to suck the marrow right outta them bones, chock full of nutrients and the fat..mmmm...there isn't much of it on them critters but enjoy!
hmmmm ,,, trout , turkey, deer, snake, rabbit, greens, etc.
No water from a beaver pond huh partner? Not if you're out there alone, LOL. Well, after seeing some of your posts, maybe none for you anyway, :DQuote:

Most definately!
Depending on the time of year, but year round; trout, squirrels, deer, hogs, coyotes, a cow, LOL, acorns in the fall, berries galore in the spring, summer, fall, cattails, wild onions, egrets, ducks, neighbors 25lb cat, stray dog here and there, neighbors grapes, he won't miss a few (dozen).
I would def. pull out the plant eating book collecting dust and go to town.
The creek has a variety of critters, don't think meat would be too hard, the starches and greens would test us.
Acorns would be collected and processed.
Kind of makes ya think.
thats cool m8... seems if porcupines are around, kill one and u have nice sharp points for hunting if forced to...Quote:

turkeys are great... lotsa meat, fairly easy...
Would def. go to the trapping side of hunting. Set and check them every morning.
I would prob. invest in a very high powered air rifle, scoped. That way you could kill critters without anyone knowing. Pffffffffffffft.
In the spring, I have a flock of those nasty birds in my back yard. He ll, the deer wake me up at night, I have one of those motion detector lights. Wife has been getting on me about cutting her flowers down with the mower. I tell her that it's the deer, but she says no way as all the plants are cut down perfectly at the same hight.
So last week, middle of the night, I wake her up, look, there is your mower, she rolls over and looks out the window.
Good for them.
Ahhh, not as climactic as I thought. Maybe I should just pop one, eat good.
See kiddies? Now there's a man who knows his business...set and check 'em every morning.Quote:

haha, there are more productive ways than just flirting;)
if i had string or wire id trap , and make sure there are no coyotes , wolverines , or wolves in the area because they mess up trapping lines big time. if i didnt have string or the ability to make it i would make a wood spear and go after the quail / grouse / turkey or maby ducks and geese if i got good enough , never been a fan of rodents more of an upland game fan.
