I’m a prepper and I think that the movement to grow your own protein and move past the ‘ug’ factor to provide for yourself is a great thing.
Don’t know if I’ve got the courage to actually do it... but I applaud the ones who do.
Many people think that eating snake and turtle is terrible, but it’s not that uncommon.
I agree.
Where I live now, we get green grasshopper infestations every few years. I’d definitely harvest and eat them in a SHTF situation. I’ve had them chocolate-coated and barbecued. Not my favorite thing, but not repulsive.
Snake is really tasty, turtle soup is outstanding.
Try fried alligator, if you haven’t already. Awesome!
I won’t eat rat, or anything that looks like a rat. Possum just looks nasty and unclean. Seems like there’d be enough vegetation to be foraged, so it wouldn’t be necessary. But if starving, who knows what I’d do? 8-)
