Question to all of you: Have you ever challenged yourself to survive in the woods? A few years back a buddy and I went into the woods for 14 days with only a hatchet, firesteel, pot, a simple fishing kit, and a .22 rifle(with ammo)

We lasted 9 days before we went home early after killing a wild hog (didn't want to let 80+lbs of meat spoil)

I lost 12lbs in 9 days

I used to consider it though I never did pull the trigger on just doing it

I hadn't planned for anything extended

Fuck dude. I wish I could do that but there's no where in PR I could do it and I would probably die since I lack survival skills <:pinkwojak:673420781182779442>

Doing something like this would be more of an exercise in building those survival skills

Location scouting can be a bitch though

Totally agree with you

But man, I think I would have to survive off iguanas and lizards

Cause there's no big game animal in PR

People eat iguanas often right?

I mean it's frowned upon but I know people do it

Some areas of the island yea

You'll only learn through practice, and you can say "hell yeah I'm country I can kill a possum with a slingshot and eat its liver", but until you prove it, you'll never know.

Man wish i had the time off of work to bushcraft for a week

Nah, it became normalized cause there was an iguana pandemic and we had to kill a bunch so parts of the island started eating them

I was thinking about this last night and how I've done myself a disservice by not forcing myself innawoods

Ahh, I had Mexican friends who frowned upon it. So it must be a regional thing

@Mr. Verboten you don't need big game animals. The best meal I ate on that 9 day adventure was fish. We found wild asparagus, wild sage, and wild onion. We used that to make fish soup.

I forgot we also have caimans in the island

from a black crappie.

Well shit man

I'm really going to see if I can find a "camping" area in which I could go and survive for a bit

location scouting is a big part of it

Even if its just two days with one night, DO IT

I say fuck scouting. As long as its legal, just jump in and try it. Its not a challenge if you purposefully plan to be near a freshwater source or a food source

There's a fuck ton of iguana hunting business in Puerto Rico holy shit

That's awesome

I want to try iguana

Come to think of it, I've never had any reptilian meats
