Goat thread.
I made 20 snares today.
I miss my old crib which was in the city, I had so many racc00ns and possums. I wouldnt eat them but it was cool to test out different snares, and practice using my air rifle.
Its how I learned that I hate and will never ever use
I had a racc00n rip it's own hand off....who knows where it went or died (they tend to live with one hand). I'd rather catch nothing in a snare or trap then have it malfunction like that.
Most cats ain't prepared to spend 72 hours without power in their own house. They'll go stay with family or friends or rent a hotel or air bnb and if it's covered use homeowners insurance to do so.
I've been camping in a tent when it was 15 degrees. Even last year my furnace blower went out on the coldest day of the year I can't remember if it was Saturday, Sunday and Monday, I know it was Sunday and I think Monday was a holiday. There was one time when I had an apartment with roommates when I was 18 or 19 the power went out. My roommate bytched and went to his mom's or somewhere.
Most cats don't know how to make a clean fire. If it comes down to it, they'll burn some clothes or trash and wonder why they can't eat/cook over it and are coughing and choking.
Even riding a bike 20 miles, knowing how to dry clothes by fire without burning them or compromising the fabric.....cleaning, skinning an animal, etc...
