You can be stranded and hungry if you don’t the track well and if you haven’t packed well for your trip. Surviving on wild berries and plants won’t suffice and isn’t safe because you don’t know what it constitutes and what effects they can have on eating. The only option at hand is to hunt, cook or eat raw depending on the time and resources you have at hand.
What to Eat in the Wild?
You could go days without food and a groaning stomach. In order to feed yourself, here’s what you need to do:
- You need to have a stick or knife to defend yourself
- Cooking can take several hours so you could consider something raw
- You need to know when and to what extent things need to be cooked to kill the bacteria and germs
- Salt water fish is considered a healthy option for eating raw (if near a beach hunt for fish because the salt water helps in killing bacteria
Remember that cold temperatures (below 40 degrees Fahrenheit) can also stop further bacteria reproduction. Food poisoning could be a dangerous outcome in case you are stranded and have no food to eat. Watch out and keep your bag pack filled with essential foods and water to avoid being stranded and hungry in the wild.
