I walk out my door, and I am next to a large lagoon, and nature reserve, where hunting is not allowed. I would fish, but not kill my deer friends here. I watch my bird and animal friends everyday survive here.. They fish and drink from the lagoon and rain puddles. They eat grains growing off stalks of wheat, and acorns, and know where the best and freshest grass, wildflowers, nuts, and leaves are. When it gets too hot or cold, they dig holes, or crawl under big logs and piles of brush. If the bugs bother them they roll in mud, the same way soldiers are taught. I would want to purify my drinking water though, which leads me back to the quest for fire. I think a small rocket stove would be the best idea for cooking in snow and rain. Love them. I have plenty of stuff to start a fire with, but I really would need to learn patience, and practice the cross bow method for long-term survival.
