Shelter, food, clothing. Hunting and gathering.
I keep meaning to buy one of those books on things you can forage and eat. That would be your new Bible
You're not likely to get fat off the land, but you also are less likely to starve entirely to death.
Schmoe: Your 'bible' would probably end up making fire starting easier. LOL
First best survival skill: fishing ... bar none. If you can fish, you can eat most every day. If you're fishing you've probably got a clean enough water source to work with too. Just watch them gators (they're almost as edible).
For those who've never thought about it: Mammals can tear you to pieces. Even the little ones. And, rigging a functional snare is a skill best acquired before it becomes necessity.
Of course that shit's getting used as fire starter eventually, once I've memorized it
Depending where you live, I don't think you want to eat fish every day with how contaminated they are. In my region they say you can pretty much safely eat one or two fish a month out of local waters.
I even hear there was something going around with deer. Probably by time we get to that point of having to live in the woods, nature will be too fucked anyway to sustain anyone.
LOL, we won't be running to the woods, not unless you already live in them.
I LOVE this video on that topic. As for the main topic, methinks she watched too many Tarzan movies and ripped off the backstory.
And if you will confess with your mouth our Lord Yeshua, and you will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall have life.
