Could you sustain yourself in the wild? What glorious meals would

I would definitely lose some weight if I had to sustain myself in the wild! lol

i've strictly had wild-harvest protein for almost 4 years now. 6 deer and countless fish a year, plus whatever stupid duck or goose comes into my path.

>feels good man

>>8751696
actually that was an incomplete statement - I strictly have wild-harvest protein at HOME. I eat meat and shit at restaurants.

If I was in a straight-up Naked and Afraid situation I could probably live for a while by collecting insects but I don't know anything about trapping or primitive hunting so I'd probably die after I ate all the spiders and lizards around, or poison myself by desperately eating some plants.

I dunno. I mean I know a lot of shit in theory, but I've never actually tried most of it so I'd probably suck.

Could live off fern root and protein source if i had too. The painful part is that there are no wild mammals bigger than a rabbit. Have to resort to fish and eel.

rabbit in arrowhead tuber stew, with greens : thin sliced cattail shoots, lambs quarters, morel mushrooms

fish baked with sheep sorrel and wild onions and summer savory

squirrel, wrapped in dock leaves, baked stuffed with garlic and elderberries, rubbed in rendered fat or ghee

pheasant meat battered with egg, acorn flour, fried in ghee

purslane and apple salad with pine nuts, honey and plum juice dressing

acorn flour bannock bread or handpies with oregon grape and salal spread

smoked deer jerky, minced up you can reconstitute it to make chili or something

bone marrow, bone broth, yum

>>8751672
Nah, I wouldnt last 24 hrs. Gonna hit that red button.

>>8751672
I'd prob live off of dandelions since they grow fucking everywhere here

>>8751856
Oddest boner right now. No homo.

>>8751875
yes homo, my friend ;)

>>8751878
Pls be outdoorsy boiwaifu :3

>>8751672
If I get all the tools in my house, sure, it wouldn't be to bad. Hunt for any meat and fishing is fairly easy. As for veggies/fruits, that might be more tough. Dandelions would have to be my first thing until I figure something else out.

If I was just dropped in the woods with nothing except clothes, I MIGHT make it, since I have a bit of training from the army, but a very good chance is I cant find enough caloires before I get tired and sleep and never wake up

One of the biggest issues with living in the wild is lack of equipment. Cooking isn't easy when basic cookware isn't a thing.

Making soup would involve dropping hot rocks into woven baskets full of liquid. Salt would be from evaporating salt water only. Frying pans and pots aren't really a thing unless you bring them into the wild or have clay and skills.

That being said, if I got to live "in the wild" in my current climate, I'd have wild naturalized fruit trees everywhere and occasional game/fish. I'd survive for a while, probably. Not comfy, tho. Anyone who thinks they'd be comfy isn't thinking this through or plans on coming in with 60lbs of shit.

nobody's saying you have to GO innawoods with no equipment. i think it'd be silly to do it like that. a good cast iron or stainless steel is probably the most you need for cooking soups or w/e on fires.

are talking "the wild" in general or the wild of our country? because in the wild of western canada I'd have a handy time surviving if I could figure out, on my own, how to hunt large animals, I am not practiced in trap making, I don't have formal training making melee weapons, but I feel like if I put my mind to it I could kill a deer just by starting with my hands, but if we are talking having equipment, things become way easier, like if I could have a deep stainless steel pot, or just any pot, that would be very helpful, fires can be built. but I can't forge metal

>>8751856
why am i the only one who has posted recipes haha?

>>8751946
You're the only fag

>>8751672
Raw berries I guess? I'd have to find a few horses though, for sure.

>>8751964
ok sorry i guess, thought at least op would care

yeah i would pull the cord on a portable walmart store

>>8751982
Wait, why would horses be your most immediate concern?

>>8752011
Well I assume living in the wild means no modern conveniences, right? I need medicine and the only natural way of getting it is from horses

>I eat meat and shit

>>8751856
You are the classiest caveman ever. Mad props. I've made acorn bread before, as well as wild rabbit roasted over a fire. Good job inspiring me.

Now if only I could get this poison ivy rash to Fucking GO AWAY then I'd be back out there. There are deer with my name on em.

>>8751672
what wild?

>>8751916
Exactly this. Prepare yourself!

>>8751946
I can't imagine there are many outdoorsy types on 4chan

Horses: naturally medicinal.

You need knowledge that in hunter gatherer societies was passed down through education. Since we don't have that you have to get field guides for identifying wild plants. That's how I found these Jerusalem Artichokes which I coated in olive oil and roasted like potatoes. Delicious. I hunt and fish too, deer, squirrel, rabbit and trotlines for fish.

>>8751983
I liked your recipes anon

>>8751672
Maybe some space aids infested wild boar or some poisonous berries I don't know about

So long as I was near water, Preferably salt water, Id be able to live for awhile. Grew up fishing, spear fishing, and crabbing.

>>8751672
Lots of plain meat and shit that will probably just make me sick.

Can I bring my guns?

If I can bring a gun, maybe. If not, I might be able to survive for a while by trapping and possibly fishing, but I wouldn't be able to survive the winter. I might be able to stockpile enough food to survive if I caught a large animal in a trap, or some how caught like a thousand birds.
