June Bug Out Exercise - Reviews and Observations

[mitunnelrat]

shot off to hit the rodent skittering in my AO. Of course trapping it would be easier. I had removed the mouse traps from my kit long ago, but I believe I may replace them now. They're small and light weight enough for it.

I've been thinking some more about this. Since rodents aren't game animals I can trap them. How much will ya'll pay me if I set some mouse traps out and log it as a field expedient meal review?

The better question would be how much will I pay you not to post anything like that. Yuck.

Rat is not that bad. I could survive on this if needed. This and plenty other protein sources.

What about a nice shit sandwich ??

You would have to go to japan for that.

Coming to a store near you before you know it.

I don't doubt it. Gotta read the ingredient labels. Just makes me wonder what spurred that research, crap = food???

[mitunnelrat]

That's nasty. I thought he was kidding. Should I take it I really don't want to google this and learn more?

I'll stick with woodland rodents thanks.

Yeah, let's come back to real surviving. There are countries, like China, where rats are a appreciated. The western cultures frown upon this, but after all this is meat and not poisonous. This is survival after all.

In the western countries, we don't eat pets. However, we don't have the same pet list. Asians eat dogs, other like me eat rabbit (for having tasted it, cat does not taste like chicken, but looks, smells, and taste like rabbit)

Insects are studied by western culture now, as a good source for protein.

I can't speak for any other Asian countries, but I know in Korea its all about the breed of dog too. They have breeds they keep as pets, and a specific, large breed they raise (on the equivalent of a cattle farm) for food. I got a taste of it (not for it, I only had a bite) while in Seoul on a day trip. I'll admit though, if I ever took a pleasure trip over there I'd eat it again.

I wouldn't condone trying it CONUS either. Its my understanding there's a felony attached to killing cats and dogs here.

Yeah, try to enforce this during a serious SHTF event.
