Well, there’s always bat-meat.

Or you could stretch the family dollar with rat meat helper.

-—Well, there’s always bat-meat.——

While at Subic Bay, I was privileged to go camping with my scout troop back in the Bataan jungle. We were visited by a Negrito who taught jungle survival to the Navy pilots.

He downed a big fruit bat with a slingshot. He cut a section of 3” diameter bamboo with his bolo and made a lengthwise slit and created a sliding panel. He put in some rice and the bat meat. punctured the sliding lid with a hole and placed the whole deal in the fire.

He had crafted a pressure cooker...... it worked extremely well.
