Blue Gill |
I wanted to try out the small fishing kit that comes in the mini survival kits- the ones that come in the small tin cans or the handle of survival knives. Instead of taking apart a good survival kit that I can use for emergencies later, I purchased the same sized items to try out my testing.
Luckily, I was vacationing in Kentucky at my brother and uncle's properties where there were small ponds on both places. I had plenty of resources and bait to use. I was able to cut a pole and dig some worms.
The first pond at my brothers place was taking too long for results, so I changed locations. Sometimes in a survival situation you will have to do this. There were a lot of frogs in this pond that could have been caught as a meal.
The second location proved to be better. Not more than 5 minutes after throwing the line in the water, I got a bite. It was so fast that I was not able to film it. I didn't want to take a chance of losing the fish while I was attempting to to setup the camera. Maybe I should have set the camera first and then went fishing.
I only caught a small blue gill, but it was edible. I ate it fried in beer batter and corn on the cob.
I'm a little more confident now that I know the small fish kit works. Just need to have patience. I wont mention the fish that got away. [Wink!]
Stay Prepared! Stay Alive!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this knowledge. Surviving in the wilderness can be very hard, but only if you are not prepared. When it comes to surviving it is all about what you know and how you are using what you have learned about the world around you. Potential to survive lies in almost everything around us – the same goes for food alternatives when your food supplies are close to an end or are slowly turning in the last can of beans.
