How to Find Edible Food.




When you are in a survival situation, you can survive with fire and water. You can live without food for more than 3 weeks, but not without water. Concentrate on finding water first. In the wild/ forests... there are a lot of thing you can find to eat depending on the season. Think about keeping your diet and eating enaugh carbohydrates , proteins and fats.
Meat and Fish are a great source of protein and fats, but it is better to eat vegetables/ plants at first. You always will find plants that are edible, still depending on the time you need them, you find different things.There are a lot of edible plants, but keep in mind, that there are some, that are poisonous! You can idntify poisonous plants by looking at them and seeing if the plant has white berries or a milky sap. Most of the time, these kind of plants are poisonous.

Some other suggestions of eating other kinds of food but plants are insects.Insects are a great sources of proteins and fats, even though they may look bad to you.There are edible bugs and insects :).Isects are most likely to be found in any moist or shaddy spots, in rotten ligs, under the bark of dead trees and etc. You can cook, boil, or eat raw -the insects you find. It depends where you are , what kind of insects you will find, but the most commons are worms, grasshoppers and crickets or even ants.If you don't like eating bugs, think of all the people in the countries like Peru, Venezuela, Thailand, Mexico and etc. where they eat bug every day ( almost ) . If there are rivers , steams or lakes near you, fish, fish , fish!!!! With fish and meat you could probably survive for a very, very long time ( more than 4 months - if you find enaugh ) .

Angling


There are a lot of methods you can caitch a fish . One methoid is angling. Angling is the most common method for fishing in water , that is not clear or for catching fish in the deep waters. Like in the book hatchet you can also make a spear, but you need a lot of patiance and is not always useful. the spear can only be used, when the water you are fishing is clear and you can see the prey. Also, you have to be near , very, very close to the fish. Then you spear the fish. Another method is the fishing net. You can make a fishing net out of different things. Some are a shit and a y-shaped branch. With this you can make a landing net out of every-day tools you have in the wild. Easier to catch fish is knowing about their behaivior and the way they think.

Finally, you can eat birs-eggs.

You can find them in bird nests.Some are in the trees but some are built in the bushes or a place safe for the birds. Even though ,any birds build nests, some don't and when you can't climb a tree for example you can also look in holes in the groung or somewhere under the trees. Eggs are a very good source of protein, and if possible you should take them to you. The eggs can be boiled, baked or even fried, so eggs couls be a good thing to eat for survival.
