poison darts!

Standard bows work pretty well, whether long, recurve, or compound. Recurve would be one of the best for a long-term survival situation as eventually one will run out of arrows so you have to make 'em yerself and a compound will shred a less-than-perfect wooden arrow.

Spears. Most people think you have to get accurate at throwing them. You don't. You just have to get very good at being quiet & still while waiting for a deer/game animal to walk under your tree on the game trail at which time you stroke straight downwards and spike the critter. VERY EFFECTIVE.

If all else fails...Club wit' a spike tru it. Silent...until the THUD.

I'm with Noel on this one.

If the SHTF today, I've got more than 3k rounds of .22LR on hand. Rabbits, squirrels, crows, opossum, ground hogs, the neighbor's cat, etc. etc. I may not like it, but I ain't gonna starve.

Anybody know the shelf life on teriyaki sauce? Can you buy it in a "just add water" powder?

.177 or .22 air rifle and plenty of ammo!

squirrelbaster · 03-24-2008, 09:45 PM

make some spears and an old fasion atlatl to loanch them at high speed!

A bow, probably a fiberglass recurve would be the most rugged, for fish (with a harpoon/solid fiberglass arrow) and medium/large game. A .177 air rifle for small game.

Both of those would give you the time to start figuring out how to use the atlatl and how to make snares,e tc.

I have a really nice bow made by PSE set up nice for hunting. 65 pound pull, 80 percent let off, whisker biscuit and lighted sights, bow quiver and stabilizer and limb savers....

I'd use that .....

If I can ever get some bolts for it, my old Jennings Devastator Crossbow would also be a good game getter and sentry whacker....

A passive systen of collecting meat would be better suited than expending allot of your limited time hunting, with water to haul,camp to keep up, and any other chores that would be work intensive (cleaning clothes & food preparation) a trap, snare, dead fall would be best suited, what are the odds that you will be in the same spot as game? which will start moving around at dusk (not best light to be shooting a Bow) Fish traps would be good and bird snares, allot of old european's had to subsist off game we would consider bait, the present day view of required food intake is skew'd off the charts, as we origannaly developed over thousands of years to subsist on a remarkidly meagre diet.

Might be time to get re-aquointed with a old fashoned sling, it worked for David!

larmus · 10-02-2008, 04:35 PM

like the rabbit stick, how would a bolos or bolo, i dont know how to pronounce it. it has two or three length of rope tied at one end and weights at the other, swing over head a while and let go centrifical force opens it up and wraps it around the neck or where ever you aim and ...bam... its supposed to knock 'em out or something.

or how about an atalatal (cant spell that either.lol)

sunwheel29 · 10-02-2008, 06:39 PM

10,000 years ago the bow served our ancestors just fine. Remember, in addition to doing war with neighboring tribes, they had to haul water, hunt food and do all that other stuff, and they still had time to sit around paint cave walls, invent religions and myths and sing songs.

I love my blowgun, not a long range weapon, but its dead on under 20 ft! (as in i can hit a sparrow)

Deersniper · 10-02-2008, 10:55 PM

Knife, crossbow or compound bow, slingshot, snares. I caught a mouse one time with a tiny brim hook, cheese, and fishing pole. No I didn't eat him.
