🤣  Marmite is even "better" .. lol .. they grew up on it ... its family staple over there.  UK too.  *giggle

I was just trying to say, its what we're 'exposed' to that helps acquire the taste. 😉

I hear you on the vegemite, they had it in NZ. I think its best place is in the bin, lol.

lol 💯  yes, one would acquire a taste.. just like the AUssies do with Vegimite, if you ever tasted that stuff...
you know people eat to survive sometimes, and not for the 'joy' of the 'taste' .. its defs acquired.

No I did not save any, it was a couple of years back before I learned they were of use. The smell of it put me off first, like meaty pine and the taste kinda mirrored it. However, it did not make me gag so as a survival food it would pass, just!

why was porcupine the worstest?🤣   lol  did you save quills for art or crafting? 

I suppose the first rule of thumb is determine what critters you have around, and which of those critters are either darn good eating, or survival food, meaning just about edible in a pinch. I have tried both racoon and porcupine, both of which were not great, the porcupine was the worst.

Look out for tracks, signs of what is around before determining the next course of action, such as trapping, snaring, or shooting. Become familiar with animals patterns, where they like to be and when, they change with the seasons. Study ways in which we can hunt or trap, many traps/snares can be made with materials directly sourced from the forest. Even a bow!
