Tonight, we continue our discussion on Hunting for your protein during an SHTF Grid-Down situation. This is a topic seldom discussed within the preparedness world, at least not with any realism or truth.

In other words, reality vs fantasy - facts vs hope and desire. Yes, in a grid-down scenario we will all hope and desire to feed ourselves in the best most efficient way we can. We fantasize about being that hunter gatherer… be it, killing a large game animal or scavenging abandoned stores, warehouses, and homes. Some will even attack and rob other survivors of their stockpiles, sometimes and more often then not, commit murder in that process.

All, are forms of Hunting and Gathering. 

As Preppers, and Survivalists, we must stick to the facts when it comes to survival. We have to set aside the fantasy, disregard those romantic daydreams of being the hero that hunts and kills and provides the much-needed protein to their people. Fun to think about… dangerous to believe.

Consider this. There are seasoned hunters that go out and hunt for large game like deer and elk, spend the entire week, maybe even the entire season, doing all the right things, perfect strategy, scent control, proven location - only to never even see a single target and ultimately come home empty handed. This, is realty. This is truth. It’s happening right now, as we speak, this hunting season.

Oh, maybe we’ll get lucky, and hit a deer with the car on the way out to the woods. Instant meal, pre-tenderized. It could happen right? Ya never know. 

But the probability of a first timer or a rookie game hunter getting a successful kill on day one, week one, during an SHTF Grid-Down situation is very low. We’re more likely to get shot at buy other hunters, then take a shot at a deer.

This is part two of our Hunter Gatherer series where I talk with my co-host Jeremy about raising that probability much higher so that we can all find success as Hunter Gatherers.
