Hi al.
I was on a family trip at the weekend to a mountain ranch.
we had a place booked and seeing as we had small children with us I knew we were not going to go far.
So apart from firelighting stuff i took almost nothing with me.
Arriving at the ranch we saw that there was a mass of water that had an awful lot of fish life... indeed there were lots of people fishing for the mountain trout.
it made me wonder... how on earth would i catch food had i been lost and found this lake? I can light a fire, and make myself a (sort of) shelter but thats not much help if all you have are blue berries and mountain cloud berries to eat.
i have learnt al i know from this forum, and recon someone here has the answer.
I know that ideally one should have place for a little fishing kit in their pack.. but what abaout if you don't have one?
