“Pioneers only lived off the land back in the day because game, fish, and food were way more plentiful and easy to obtain from nature, and it was still hard.”
This is a good point, especially in light of a few people here who live in our ‘Outback’ and say things like: “No problem, if the Ukraine War goes south, I’ll just hunt me some venison in my backyard.” I’ve pointed out, that plan is fine if you can rid of 99% of the other people trying to do the same...
The best trout fishing trip I ever had was with my dad all up around there for a week. We were more than ready for camping and fishing and I still remember that it was cold. And some beautiful brown and rainbow trout.

Such lunacy. I grew up in the mountains and know how to survive. Wouldn’t want to do it but could if I had to. No fire arms nor fishing gear for these dipwads
