When you find yourself lost in the wilderness, it is
very important to know what types of foods are available for you to
consume. Most of your food can be found
naturally and come in different varieties such as wild berries, fish and other
water foods, insects and bugs, birds, and other large animals. It is very important that you have knowledge
about each different type of food source and should be researched and learned
about before any type of outdoor trip or adventure. Here is a glance of all the different types
of food you can use for survival.
Wild
Berries – are one of the easiest and most commonly found food items
when you are lost in the woods. Most of
the wild berries you will find in the wilderness are edible, however you need
to make sure that you research all of the different types of wild berries there
are and what they look like, so that you make sure you don’t consume a berries
that could potentially harm you. Wild
berries are especially easy to find in the summer months, however you can still
find some wild berries that will grow in the winter time. So make sure that you research and know your
berries for food supply when you are lost in the woods.
Fish
and Food from the Water – can easily be found and if they are
a source from freshwater in North America are most commonly safe to eat. You can eat fish raw, however it is advised
that you warm and cook the fish from a fire or portable grill. Catching fish does not have to be a hard task
to perform at all. Many fish you can
catch barehanded. The easiest way to
capture a ton of fish is by waiting by where the fish are found swimming by and
then pinning them down to the bottom of the stream. Although it sounds difficult, in actuality it
is not. You can also catch other animals
for the water to consume such as shell fish and crayfish. All of these water animals are safe to eat
and can be easily captured to give you the nutrients and energy you need to
survive in the woods.
Insect
and Bugs – two of the safest insects and bugs to eat
are grasshoppers and wood grubs.
Although they aren’t very tasty they can give you the protein and
nutrients you need to provide your body while lost in the woods. These two types of insects can be consumed
without cooking, however if it is possible it would be better to cook the
two. You also want to make sure that you
remove the wings and legs from the grasshopper.
You can find grasshoppers in grassy areas and wood grubs can be found in
rotten logs. There are a ton of insects and
bugs that you can consume if you are trapped in the wilderness however, it is
wise to gain a good knowledge about different types of insects and bugs that
you can consume. Not all insects and
bugs can be consumed without giving you bodily harm which is why it is so
important that you know what types are safe and which ones are dangerous.
Birds –
Although it is very hard to capture a bird without a gun it is possible with
rocks. However, survivalists find it
much easier to capture a bird from its nest or to capture bird eggs. Capturing bird eggs is one of the top
survival food items that someone can get because they are filled with tons of
protein that your body needs to give it energy and to survive. You always want to make sure that you cook
the eggs before consumption. Never eat
eggs raw.
Larger
Mammal Animals – Although it can be a daunting task to
capture a larger animal without any weapons, you can still however capture an
animal through a trap and then kill them to eat. The easiest way to kill an animal for
consumption purposes without the use of a knife or gun is by a rock. Make sure that you cook the animal
thoroughly. All though you can consume
some large animals raw, it is better to be precautious and cook all of your
food that you capture.
