Food

[MassExodus]

I just watched Bear Gryllis bite a little snakes head off, and swallow the body. I could stomach that kind of meal, if I got hungry enough. Hold your breath and wash it down. I see racoons, possum, armadillo, skunks, and domestic cats eat inverts all the time. Im convinced stray cats stay alive on them, and the occasional lizard or bird. I was just sitting here thinking I could actually keep myself alive off the local fauna. Easily with a firearm, which I have in great variety.. All kinds of small animals and large inverts live here. Both cottontail and jacks are in my yard every day. Water is more critical, of course, but I know several natural sources in the area. Two lakes, three rivers, all with fish in them. I was just thinking about a what if scenario. All it would take is a power grid down scenario for a month or so to put us firmly in the "food chain and natural order" again. Anyone else considered their territory and circumstances like this, or thought about it at all? I started this line of thought watching Bear, thinking, if I was starving, I would have no problem eating my dubia, superworms, and tarantulas. Or the three horses. And maybe a neighbor BUT ONLY IN EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES

Also you could eat all the jerky in your pantry and/or take all the meat in your fridge and hang it up so it turns into jerky.

I'm pretty well traveled around the U.S.. I've eaten rattlesnake and a few other odd things too. I tried to make friends with a possum, don't know why you want to eat one, I've made jerky from fresh caught fish, and I've even raised pigs for food, and help my old boss tag, and vaccinate her cattle. Besides, the AR platform is great for hunting varmint. Say hello to a custom built AR.

I could eat superworms if I had to.

@MassExodus why would you need to eat a neighbor when you have restaurants like las palapas and Bill Miller's in your area.

Lmao. I prefer Plaza Tapatio or Chili Banderas, but I'm just saying. If things got bad...slow roasted over an open fire, that neighbor meat would fall right off the bone..

You guys have javalina in the agricultural areas of southern Texas as well.

You all seem insistant that I dont need to eat my neighbors..y'all are racist.

 

[Tnoob]

I'm just saying if you run out of neighbors.

 

[Tnoob]

Especially the plump ones that don't run very fast.

There are lots of those around here..its all the great tex mex cuisine. And if you look up the state motto it just says "BBQ"...

I need to go to san antonio again, food is amazing, as well as the music.

I'm not big on cities, but San Antonio is still alright in my book. I met a very lovely lady on the riverwalk years ago, downtown isnt like LA, Frisco or NYC(filthy), lots of great TexMex food, and dark haired, dark eyed beauties abound. I can tolerate Tejano music, but there's actually some fantastic punk, rock and alt rock bands between there and Austin. The music scene is always busy in Texas. Fantastic fishing down at the coast, around Corpus. Thats about two hours drive for me. Going kayak fishing in the morning

I know a few icons in the tejano industry on a casual level and someone who does sound production for an up and coming artist.

As for going cannibal, if I was far beyond desperate I would probably do it. If there is vegetation, I'm going that direction first.
