A tubby suburban dad watching hunting and adventure shows on TV and wondering could I do that? This is the chronicle of my adventures as I learn to learn to Forage, Hunt and Fish for food that has lived as I would wish to myself - Wild and Free.

Please feel free to leave comments. I really enjoy hearing what readers think. The rules are the same as round my dinner table:
You're welcome to disagree, life would be way too boring if we all agreed with each other and we'd never learn anything.
I like to think that we're all grown up enough to argue every last point, right down to the bone, without bearing a grudge afterwards.
Come on in the waters lovely

I have indeed pondered much on this topic.
ReplyDeleteI love food.
And I also love a lot of other activities and hence don't have enough time to dedicate to gather and/or hunt my food so that I'm calorifically and taste-budily satisfied.
And I'm also fairly impecunious which means that if I stuck to my time-low, money-low and ethically-high standards, I'd be eating rather boring things.
So I find that I often compromise on one of the above. Though I try my best to make sure it's not third option that gets the beating.
I suppose we do what we can. Though we should probably do more. Both as individuals and collectively.
Hey, SBW - Thanks so much for the kind re-post!

ReplyDeleteWell put. We are now so deeply embedded in the process of food industrialisation that as a society I doubt there is a way back, but as individuals there's a great deal we can do.
