The
term, "survival food", can mean diversely, as your
way lies.
Kind 1 - Long Time) This
is the bulk food emergency food supply, that you
keep in, or near to, your abode, for you to eat for a long time
hereafter.
It
is the emergency preparedness food, that you can learn of in this page:
long term
food storage. These emergency foods
might include vegetables, grains, and herbs that you get by gardening
and farming.
Kind
2 - Gardening And Farming In A Safe And Set Spot)Survival
foods, that you grow, before, while, or after,
of the emergency came, comes from farming and gardening.
Kind
3 - Short Time) Emergency food rations,
for a short emergency, that is over in a day or two, you keep in your 72 hour emergency survival kits,
so click that link.
These
will hold your emergency food and water.
Generally they include either mres,
or else freeze dry food.
The
third short-time category holds cans, and also sweets, such as candy
bars, that you can replace while they are in storage. That is because
sugar is a preservative.
Cans
do not last forever, but for a few years. The Mountain House company
practically has a monopoly for freeze dry dehydrated emergency food.
They do a whale of a job.
Kind
4 - On The Move) Emergency survival food,
that you pick up while your abode is unstable. You can get emergency
food supplies, by either hunting, trapping, fishing,
foraging for plants, and foraging for leapin straightwings.
Global emergency food kits
will last for a while, and, after that, you must rely upon your skills
and your knowledge of beasts, plants, and beasties.
"Meals,
Ready-To-Eat", have been made for the US military, to be more
interesting menus than freeze dry food, for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner.
The
recipes include a variety of food that will last in food storage for
3-4 years, more if cooler, less if warmer. An MRE meal will save you
the time and trouble of foraging, and, since it has its own flameless
heat source, will save you the time and trouble of making a fire.
As an
emergency survival ration, you may want to consider including them in
your survival kits.
MRE
food has not been reported to be the best meal for food's flavor, but
they save you time, and they store well, though not as long as freeze
dry.
The
containers are indestructible, and non-reflective.
To
order your own supply of MRE Meals, clich this linh now: Meals
Ready To Eat
FOOD
BANK
I
suppose that a good way, to guard your own food supply, and that of
your neighbors, against marauders, would be to get your neighborhood to
make a large food pantry and food banks, for the needy. If marauders,
or even needy and meek folks, come, then there will be the abundance of
food, to avoid problems.
If
they don't come, then there will be so much more for the rest of the
neighborhood.
Falconry
is impractical, unless you have a full-time falconer.
Hunting and
God: Hunting And Shooting Outdoors With A Gun Or A Bow
Family
Survivors is a mostly Biblical website, so we are concerned only with
the kind of game, that our Heavenly Father has promised always to
provide for us, so long as we obey his laws.
Therefore, we
are concerned only with hooved ruminants, and birds. Not with bears,
coons, muskrats, boar, possum. All the latter have been forbidden to
us, and, if we should hunt them, we would be punished with disasters
and malaise in our land.
Always spill
all of the animal's blood on the ground, as soon as you have killed
him.

Substitute

to practice at home, before you go out into the wilderness.
3. Boomerang
Hunting
4. (also
short-range thrown stick)
In a stron
wind, face
between 45 and 90 degrees away from the direction of the wind, toward
your throwin hand. In other words, throw to the right of the wind, if
you will be throwin rightly handed.
Follow
through with your arm after releasin the boomerang. Flick your wrist,
just before releasin. Boomerang should tilt top-to-bottom about 35-55
degrees, but edge-to-edge should be straight on course.
From the
videos, I get the notion that there are 2 kinds of boomerang, one for
flocks of birds, and another for animaux on the ground.
Boomerangs
are not easily made, but they are easily borne. Either you would brin
one with you, or else would make one by hand in a lon-term base camp,
but not in an emergency situation would you make a boomerang.
In an
emergency, you would rather make a thrown stick, as in the next video
down.
The
thrown stick can be used for birds, or perhaps to stun a
deer if you get close enough to him.

Hunters
have different assortment of equipment for hunting game. With the large
variety of gadgets to choose from, finding the perfect hunting gift can
be sometimes overwhelming. Maybe you want an item to store your hunting
products or compass to direct you in the woods.
The true
worth of a gift is in its simplicity. Simplicity is the core of every
civilization. So if your old man has hunting as one of his hobbies and
you are wonderin which gift to get him on his birthday, then you might
consider the followin options:
Since
time immemorial, the knife has been known as the chief hunting tool.
In the
lower Neolithic period, knives were made from curved stones and were
used very often in hunting because of their precision in killin the
prey.
A folding
knife can be a perfect hunting gift if you are seeking to enrich one's
hunting accessories.
Maybe you
have shot a deer and it has not died completely. A folding knife can be
used to finish the job. The knife is ideal as the name suggests as it
can be easily be folded to fit in your pocket.
Since there
are different types of folding knives for different purposes, be sure
that the knife, that you buy, is for the kind of hunting, that your
recipient is used to doin.
When you
click on the image, above right, you will see an array of hunting
knives for your selection!
Ammunition
If you are
thinkin of givin ammunition, first find out exactly what kind of gun
your recipient has. In my opinion, 308 is the best for large animals,
such as deer, elk, antelope, bighorn sheep, or moose.
For bear,
wolves, coyotes, or for big cats, I would much rather use great danes,
than rifles, as our God has declared bear, dog, and cat meat to be
unclean for us. Let the dogs have some fun, anyway.
The 308
ammunition is the perfect gift for an experienced hunter. It is the
epitome of accuracy in hunting. For deer hunters, the 308 ammunition
has an astonishin barrel life.
Loadin 308
bullets is relatively easy which is encouragin for even novice hunters.
There is a great projectile and powder combination and a wide range of
bullets to choose from.
The 308
guns are very light compared to other hunting guns. There are over
twenty projectiles to choose from and the bullets are specifically
tailored for hunting purposes. For example, the 150-grain range bullet
is ideal for deer-sized game.
Hunting
License
Getting a
hunting license involves a lot of complicated procedures. It may sound
unreal but a lifetime hunting license would be perfect hunting gift.
Hunters have to renew their licences every year dependin on the game
they hunt and the State rules. It is advisable you check with state
authorities in your area to see if they offer the lifetime hunting
licence
Field
Gear
There are a
variety of hunting accessories that hunters can find instrumental. They
range from binoculars, GPS systems, cameras and clothing. These items
can also be presented as gifts in case a hunter lacks one or need
replacin. Next time you are wonderin which hunting gifts to buy, you
will be more informed.

HUNTING
BINOCULARS
A good pair
of hunting binoculars must have a good focus and a comfortable hold.
Binoculars for searching, after game, are used in tough situations and
they ought to be waterproof and rugged. The binocular’s vision power
need to be high as in searching, after game, you must be able to see
your goal plainly.
As hunting
requires finding and tracking wild life that is very fast, highly
cautious and hidden, the hunting binoculars really should have a wider
objective lens.
When you are
searching, after game, in early early morning or in twilight you need
as much light as possible to enter your lens otherwise your efforts are
a waste so it is better to choose a binocular with wider lens. A bigger
objective lens means a bigger field of view and a larger exit pupil.
But in a game
binocular higher magnification is only secondary to light and field of
view, so it is better to choose a binocular with large objective lens
and less magnification.
As hunting
requires a lot of foot travel and hauling your gear, hunters prefer a
light weight and smaller sized hunting binoculars. Experienced field
and wood hunters prefer to choose a 8x42 which supplies good light and
magnification. The mtn or the wide open terrain hunter prefers a 9x35
or 10x42.
You can find
a wide range of searching binoculars in different brands and several
price ranges.
They give a crystal clear view
with the help of the BK7 roof prism glass and the completely coated
lenses. They weigh only 7.3 oz and very
easy to carry and use.
They are good for spotting large game.
Their price range is from $14.99-$19.99.

TRAPPING
kwd - trapping
FISHING
Angling, that
is fishing with a rod and, usually, a reel, is more of a sport, and is
to be relied upon, in emergencies, only by those, who pursue it as a
hobby regularly. Because it takes a lot of skill, knowledge, and
practice.
There are
other techniques, of catchin fishes, which may be more suitable to a
"lay" fisherman, for emergencies only. Some of these are forbidden by
the laws of the freemasonic government (a foreign power, led by the
Duke of Kent) in the USA, so be canny about where you do it.
I suggest
that you study how to set trot lines, dip nettin, broad nettin,
trappin, and poisonin, to get more fishes more easily. Black walnut and
butternut hulls will render fishes unconscious or dead, without harmin
the eater thereof.
Durin the
spawnin runs, fishes can be snagged with a treble hook and a sinker, at
the end of a lon strin, or lenth of twine. Run out 3 feet from the
hand, twirl it around a few times, and cast into the river, then jerk
it back quickly. You may snag a fish. It is considered to be illegal by
the illegal masonic government, so beware where you do it.
Here is an
article, read the comments, about why snaggin should not be done durin
times of law-and-order, but only in emergencies:

To do this
topic justice, you must anticipate where you'll be, and study all the
books, go out in the field and identify every plant you find, go to
classes and field tours on the topic, and make friends with other who
know about it.
Most of the
food in the fertile spots on earth has not even been identified as
food. I have some experience with the eastern middle USA, and I'll give
to you some pointers that you will never find anywhere else, unless
they got them from me:
1. Learn
the most abundant and bulky plants first before the tiny rare ones.
2. Garlic
mustard grows under the snow in the time of winter. Make note of where
it grows in the fair days, so that you can find it under the snow later.
3. Kudzu
new growth of leaves on the tips of the branches is quite good before
they unfurl.
4.
Greenbrier new unfurled leaves and new tendrils are good.
5. Poke
greens have warnings about saponins (soap that is made inside the
plant). I eat the leaves they are delicious, even eat them after the
berries spring out. But in small sums not a big batch. No problem. I
knew a lady in Arlington Virginia who belonged to a foraging club, she
said they made pies of the pokeberries and had no bad results from
them. Traditionally pokeberries have been said to have been inedible. I
never tried them.
6. For good
sums of vitamin C take your green pine needles or spruce needles, wash
them, cut with scissors into some cold water. Or you could use a
cutting board and a sharp cook's knife. Let them stand in the
refrigerator half an hour and strain and drink. Delicious and you'll
get all the vitamin C that you need.
You can
tell spruce apart from like-looking kinds, by pulling off a few of the
needles from the twig. In spruce there will be stubs left behind,
whereas in other kinds the twig will be smoother.
7. Every
flower is edible, so long it is not poisonous. If you know the
poisonous flowers, then all the others are edible. Buttercups are said
to be harmful.
8. The
entire peony plant is edible. However it has a strong flavor and it
produces more food than you can actually eat. Rather than peel the
tough outer skin from the pith of the stems, I like to split them and
use them in a broth. Or you could split the stem and gouge out the pith
and eat it cooked.
You can eat
the tender leaves cooked, and use the tougher ones to add nutrition to
a broth then throw them out before eating as you would with a bay leaf.
The tubers are edible cooked, but the flavor has to be dilute in other
more bulky foods.
In Chinese
medicine it is said to help against lumbago.
9. Don't
forget to add your sassafrass leaves to season your cooking, it will
give more nutrition. Anything you can't digest you can chew and swallow
the juice then spit out the fiber. Acadians in Luzianne call the leaves
"filé" or "filé gumbo" and they are used to season gumbo.
10.
Spicebush is very abundant. Use the leaves and berries for seasoning
and to add more nutrition.
11. Use the
whole chicory plant. The leaves are edible. They are very bitter, so
unless you are a hardy eater, chop them up and add to salads or to
cooked vegetable stews, casseroles and the others. Use them both raw
and cooked, each state has its own virtues. Make broth of the stems.
Eat the buds. If the roots are tender you can cook and eat them, if
they are bigger and tougher, then use them to make broth or tea.
13. I eat
Queen Anne's lace leaves even though they taste of turpentine.
14. Cook
maple seeds like peas.
15. Tap the
sap of sycamore trees to get the minerals. It's also a good source of
emergency water.
16. Always
look on the underside of leaves for spots that may be parasites or eggs
of insects.
17. Johnson
grass makes good hay. You can eat the seeds like wheat. I never tried
it because I couldn't tell when to harvest it, having no experience
with grains.
18. Eat
wild rose hips in the time of winter.
19. Lamb's
quarters suffers from the slightest drought, so eat all you can early
in the season.
20. Purple
sumach berries -- get all you can early in the season. There is some
kind of material in the middle of the cluster that rots during the
season and it is very hard to clean it out from the rest of the
cluster. Make sour tea of them. Turks use them to season meat or other
foods.
21. I have
seen quinces growing sometimes. They are sour. So you cook them and
sweeten them. You should learn how to ID them, because you might find
some.
22. May
apples and pawpaws are suddenly ripe and the critters snatch them all
up, so if you want them, note where they are and check them daily. They
are bad tastin until that one day, but wait until a few hours later and
they would be gone unless you get to them first. But if you get them at
the right state, then they are incredibly delicious.
23. Don't
forget your day lily tubers. Cook them. And you can eat the flowers.
They have a hot flavor. I see big stands of them in the wild, not far
from homes.
24.
Whatever you take is going to grow back more, so long as you don't take
the whole plant, or the whole stand. It probably helps the quality of
the food if you thin out a stand, for instance day lily tubers. So take
take take, just leave some to replenish itself.
25. Cut the
thorns off of the thistle leaves and eat them, if you have to.
26. Prickly
pear fruits are yummy. Cook the pads and scrape out the flesh from the
inside. Kind of hard to handle because of the pesky little prickles all
over the pads. Maybe leather gloves? Maybe rubber gloves would work?
27. Don't
await emergencies to eat all of these foods, make them to be a bit of
your weekly food.
Farming and
Gardening
Mulch
-- When you put enough mulch, couple years ahead of time, you never
have pests nor diseases in the plants. However strawberries have been
known to need some attention even with the mulching system.
Ruth Stout
was a pioneer in getting rid of needless chemicaux as promoted by the
manufacturers of them.
I once had an
apple orchard, and went to "Apple School" a free weekend at a resort in
the Blue Ridge Mountains ("apple land"). The "teachers" taught the poor
uneducated orchardists that they must spray the trees to get the
flowers to come out, another time to get the flowers to fall off,
another time...28 times they had to spray, not just to kill pests, but
just to make the tree perform its ordinary functions.
The state
representative of Virginia Polytechnic Institute was at the classes to
approve everything that they said. All the official folks endorsed the
method taught there. Fortunately I had already read Ruth Stout's book
and I therefore knew that what they were teaching there was bunk.
The seeds
used by the farmers were developed by VPI, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. Did they develop apple seeds that were resistant to pests?
No, they developed seeds that were dependent upon sprays. Something
really funny was going on.
It turns out
that the school was sponsored by the company that manufactured the
chemicals that were used in the sprays. They were sold in the local
Southern States Coop. I had some old Organic Gardening magazines and
took them to the office of our local extention agent from VPI, and
offered to give them for her to share with the growers in contact with
her.
She became
very angry and tried to say "We don't do that here" but stammered over
her words, she ws so upset. I learned later that her husband was the
manager of the Southern States Coop that sold the chemicaux. We had a
jumbo conpiracy here involving
the Commonwealth of Virginia (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the
extention agent) the chemical manufacturers, and Southern States Coop.
If you want
to find out more details ant a lot of great tips by Ruth from her
decades of experience, then click on the image of the book, and it will
take you to an ordering page with lots of customer reviews of the book.
Natural
Farming -- I just made
up this term to denote the concept that you set apart a bit of your
land and let it grow wild, then eat the "weeds" which aren't really
weeds at all but they are food and medicine. Then you manage by
thinning and mulching and watering where necessary. Thinning means you
harvest and use the plants, or else give them away or preserve them. To
learn more about this see my instructions and tips here.
God, in the
Bible, says that these are good foods for us to eat, provided that we
have refused to be vegetarians -- grasshoppers, crickets, locusts,
cicadas, except those, such as the mole cricket, that do not jump.
He said,
also, that he will see to it that, in times of emergency, his servants
will not be forced to eat forbidden foods, such as rats, spiders,
snakes, squirrels, and so on, which, if we eat them, brins down curses
on our land.
Here is how
to make them ready, to be eaten. Take off the head and the appendages,
then roast them awhile. After they will have been roasted, then pinch
the pointed end at the rear, and pull upon it, so that the guts come
out in a curly strand.
Now are they
ready to be eaten.
John the
Baptist lived upon honey and locusts while he was out in the
wilderness. Many times the growers have seen the swarms of grasshoppers
or locusts fall on their crops and call out "Alas, the food will be
ruined!". But these insects ARE food, so just switch your menu if they
happen along.
