Why bother? Not even close.
What I was saying is don’t make plans expecting to find “X”.
Those critters may already be in someone else’s stew pot. Those wild edibles you saw in the ditch may have been hit with weed killer by the utility company.
The deer and the cattail are the bonuses, a welcome addition to the larder but not something that you can depend upon. Especially after a crash, if simply because everyone else has the same idea.
How many times have we read “I’m heading for the hills and gonna live off the land” or similar on forums, in conversations, etc? If even a tenth of these people make it to the hills and start plugging everything in sight, how much game will remain? In my town of 12k, if everyone who heard about cat tails went down to the ponds and started harvesting, do you think that they would leave any to grow more?
I can’t depend upon anything that I can’t control, and I can’t control the weather, flooding and droughts for example.
More to come, gotta go work.
