/diy/ - Do It Yourself

You really should've asked /k/, our regular discussion is how to live in the mountains when SHTF.

Anyways I'd recommend not going with huge animals such as durr, and eek, because food preservation is going to be a b*tch in the wild.

If you want to live in the forest for an extended period of time, I'd suggest buying a cheapo .22 rifle, or an air rifle (Crosman phantom with optics, about $90 and $15 for 1250 pellets, good for rabbits and birds).

Food? Rabbits, Quail, Ducks, birds and rabbits basically. Easy to clean, a rabbit will serve you food for an entire day, a rabbit is by far the easiest animal (Except maybe a squirrel) to gut and eat. Gutting a rabbit is as simple as tearing off the fur (It's like pulling velcro off of another piece), pushing out the guts with your fingers, removing limbs and head, and cleaning, boiling, or cooking over a fire.

May I suggest pic related. Foxholes are nice too, I've got one more pic of shelter I'd recommend.
