I do not know about Bigfoot, the Yeti, Loch Ness Monster, or whatever but the Jackalope exists.

No horns but it exists and yes I know a cottontail from a jackrabbit. This was different.

Got one with a figure four deadfall in a dry creek bed on a 48 hour survival exercise long ago. You got a knife, a lighter flint and a pancho and left out in the desert in the middle of night.


Sort of of looked like this. Tasted like chicken. So did the rattlesnake but greasier. ;-)

And for the uninitiated, if you're trapped out in the middle of nowhere, the first thing you need is a safe water source. 48 hours without water and you'll be in serious trouble - a week or two without food you'll be OK.

You need water. Clean water. Oh and I'll try to be gentle - bad water = loose stools? Worse than dehydration.

Best is a desert water still. Unless you're snow-bound then just eat the white snow.

Desert still? Dig a hole, carve up that cactus - dump it in your hole, put a can at the bottom - look around - you'll find one, tarp or plastic over your hole, cover the tarp edges well with sand/dirt, place a small rock on top of the tarp over the can and wait patiently.

No gallons of water but you'll savor every drop.

Last survival tip? ALWAYS have a lighter - Start a fire and they'll find you. ;-)

I once saved a gal from drowning, if this saves a Freeper or even a Dem from death from dehydration then it was worth 15 minutes while watching golf and football. Life is good.

Except the Presidency of the United States of America was stolen in 2020 and as far as I can tell nothing has been done to keep them from stealing it again.

/had to say it.
