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

See that's the thing I like in the metropolitan area I would have to open up a map and see which areas in the island I could go and survive in

Gator is pretty big here which makes that kind of weird

I'll try to find pictures of our adventure and post them. We made camp inside a cave and scavenged trash from the river for bedding. We built a raft from wood and cordage for fishing.

I remember finding a few really good urban stealth camping videos, but looking it all up again it's just autists with vans that they converted into pod shelters

LOOK AT THIS SHIT

gonna have to go through my kit bags today and work on refining what I've got

If anyone comes to PR for hunting you could go to mona island and have a bushcraft experience

>4ft iguana

holy shit
