Before you laugh, carp are completely edible when prepared properly. Just de bone, mince the meat, combine it with corn flour and a binder like an egg and make hush puppies. That said, in a SHTF situation with a low food supply, I will be more concerned with calories and nutrition than taste...

On our property we have a small body of water (a big pond or a really small lake) that sustains fish year round. I was wondering if would be feasible to build and operate a small fish hatchery in a post shtf type of world.. what do you guys think?

So, you want to raise some fish? Tag along with me while i do just that this summer. My plan is to raise about 150 channel catfish. Depending upon growth, we may not harvest them until spring 2015. I am not an expert on raising fish by no means, but having raised catfish in the past, i think I...

Any questions? :D:

Hi All Does anyone have a successful Aquaponics setup going in South Central PA? Me and a few other are interested in learning. I have been doing some research online, and it seems your specific environment has a fair impact one what works, and what doesn't work. So thus I think I would like...

I am new to this forum and looking for friends who are serious about survival. People who believe that we need to get seriously prepared. If there isn't one already started in my region, I want to start a group of people who want to form a community for survival. A skilled community in every...

I know there have been several forums over this product but I further endorse it! Yo-yo automatic fishing reels take little space and very functional in a survival situation. Not only for fishing, but for snares as well. I bought a pack of these things and they are just the neatest gadgets...

I'm searching though the internet on how to make a primitive/survival smokehouse and the art of smoking (mainly fish) but one thing that all my results show is the importance of a brine before smoking; however, one thing I haven't found is how to make a sufficient brine in a wilderness survival...

I live in Alaska and just got done dipnetting about 60 sockeye salmon. I'd like to pressure cook some of these. I'm new to pressure cooking (just got my first pressure cooker). I've heard rumors from a few people that I should only can in pint size jars - NOT Quart size. When I ask why, no one...

. I'm always fishing and after I clean my catch, I just toss the carcass in the trash. I tried burying them in the garden but the varmints kept digging it up. I stumbled across this the other day and figured I'd give it a shot. MYO Fish Fertilizer Step 1: Start with approximately 1 gallon...

I read some things about raising catfish in a barrel. I would like to know has anyone in the Midwest had success with doing this? Is there any precautions I should take that is not mentioned in the survival file. Also where should I buy the live catfish to start the process, and the earthworms.

I've seen a lot of threads talking about spam, or various other canned meats, and they can be found all over the forum. I thought with this thread we could make a central place to post reviews of the various canned meats and be able to find them easier (since I'll make this a sticky)...

Had kind of a fun day yesterday. So I planned to hike to a remote lake, which is very difficult to find and catch some grayling, if they were even still in the lake. On the way in, saw a smaller bear scraping a dead tree trunk for goodies inside. I whistled a couple times, and thought he was...

I've seen some stuff on raising tilapia, and pollock(? I think) and crayfish. I'm not sure about it but the idea appeals to me. I think if I can grow fish for myself and for some to trade that would be really good. I was hoping someone on the board might be doing this already and give some...
