Episode-386- Fishing a Part of a Sustainable Food Supply

Today we are going to look at fishing and how it can be part of the modern preppers lifestyle for day to day living rather than in a capacity such as wilderness survival or bush craft.  Our nation is blessed with millions of acres of accessible water for fishing.

Join me today as I discuss a variety of methods of having and utilizing wild fish protein…

  • Focusing on what is locally available
  • Targeting species with good food value, ease of harvest and high bag limits
  • Insuring that specific techniques are legal in your area
  • What trapping teaches us about fishing
  • The technique of jug fishing
  • What is limb lining
  • What is a trot-line
  • Combining multi species on trips for maximum harvest
  • The secret of creating your own structure
  • Sensible harvest and safe eating
  • When all else fails grow your own fish

  • How to make a “hobo reel”
  • Advice on a collapsible fishing rod, get one, carry it, it beats a hobo reel or improvised can pool
