Your Survival Skill Set

[TWP]

How much practice do you have at "living off the land"?

Good article on what skills are needed, and practicing them.

Note that we face some "legal" hurdles in the current day with respect to actual practice.

If you've never butchered animals (rabbits, squirrels, fish etc.), then you're only good until your canned food is gone...

If you know anyone who raises chickens or rabbits for food, ask to help at their next "harvest" day. 
It is a skill, yes, but you also need to get through the learning process about "animal slaughter".

My own initial experience was not until the age of 30 or so, and I think (opinion) that children should participate
after the age of  about 10 years.

Given the opportunity both David and I would like to learn and hopefully be of some help if someone is willing to invite us.

I don't know anyone who raises and slaughters their own meat animals.

I do think this would be a good subject for a group "training day".   But it would require a member who harvests their own animals.

I DO NOT mean a trip to a commercial slaughter house.  I cannot recommend that experience to anyone.
