The first thing that slaps you in the face when the grid goes dark and the last granola bar’s gone? Hunger. Not that kind of “I skipped breakfast” hunger either, I’m talking about the real, throat-hollowing, slow-burning need.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: “Food will remain one of your biggest concerns during a survival scenario!”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that water should be neglected. I’m just pointing out that we are a nation that loves eating regular meals, snacking and everything that involves food.

In a true bug-out survival scenario, far out in the backwoods of North America, fish become more than food. They’re mobile protein factories hiding in plain sight. Fish are the fast, quiet, and clean-burning fuel that your body craves when your stomach starts growling. And the best part is that unlike deer, squirrels, or other game out there, fish don’t bolt at the crackle of a dry leaf or your scent drifting on the wind. They just swim until you figure out a way to stop them from doing that.
However, there’s a little problem you need to deal with: fish won’t jump into your pan just because you need or want them. They don’t care that your boots are falling apart, or that you haven’t eaten in two or three days. Fish don’t give a damn about your fingers shaking when you try to tie a knot. You want to live and see the next sunrise? You’ve got to turn into a predator and think like one.
