New Ideas

I was thinking about natural foods on the trail that I could eat from the trail itself. Obviously there is squirrel, chipmunks, rabbits, snakes, fish, crayfish, bugs (if I get desperate) and other little things running around. The catch 22 is that I need to learn how to clean and prepare the different things i'll be hunting. I have and will be practicing with different hunting methods. I've tried a slingshot (which i'm not to bad at now) and a bow (which i'm not to bad at either). The next thing i'd like to try a blow gun, fishing pole and some basic snare traps. I'll try them all and see which gets me the most meat so I don't have to carry any in my pack.

I've also been thinking about bringing an animal companion with me on this trip. I'm down to two ideas. A goat or a dog. I'm stoked.
