Having the ability to catch animals is a necessity when you’re stranded in the wilderness or find yourself in a survival scenario. Yes, scavenging for plant-based food sources is important. But high-protein foods are going to be the difference between surviving and succumbing to your situation.


Fish have the nutrients and calories needed to keep your family healthy when food supplies get low. You will more than likely find a source of water anywhere so you will have food most of the time, but land animals leave, to hibernate, or due to habitat damage, pollution, wild fires and more...
