Re: For "Survivors" Eyes Only
Pine needle tea and phloem chips to stave off starvation and vitamin c deficiency.
Trapping and snaring along animal tracks in the snow (animals will use a trail time and time again, its this predicatability that gets them caught). Creating a system of bird lures and traps. A morning collecting wild berries, scattering them for a lure and then springing the trap shut gets the hungry bird time and time again.
Making a 'fish float' and having it rest in the river.
Now, the fish float will catch many many small fish, but does need a bit of preperation. However, once made will keep feeding you and yours for many moons to come.
Winter need not be a time of starvation, it just needs alot more efficiency of energy and thought.
If you have a bow or a rifle, a deer hide or stand will get you a handsome meal for many in one fell swoop.
