Wilderness Survival Food
Some wilderness survival food might cause an "Ew!!! That's Gross!!" reaction but, to stay alive, you may find yourself eating (even enjoying) some wild delicacies. Our selection of books on this page range from identifying and harvesting wild fruits and berries to trapping and preparing both small and larger game such as deer.
If, in the event of a survival situation, you are prepared by having a supply of food in your survival kit, save this as a last resort. Start scavenging immediately and save your prepackaged food for when those wilderness survival foods are elusive and hard to find.

In a survival situation, staying alive is much more important than what animal happens to be in legal hunting season. The high protein in meat and poultry, aside from being more palatable than creepy crawlies, is your fastest way to physical strength and endurance. Vegetarians and Vegans have made a study of other sources for their protein which if you don't get right, will upset your body's healthy balance.
