I had a neighbor when I was growing up that was in a group that did things the "pioneer" way. I found it fascinating as well as educational. I wish I would have paid closer attention to that kind of stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point in starting this thread was to inform people to have whatever food, water and preferred fuel sources for 2-4 weeks. I took a class in college and was on a team teaching this https://www.ready.gov/cert#:~:text=The Community Emergency Response Team,organization%2C and disaster medical operations. I naturally take it to the next level. My point remains, every household should have 2-4 weeks of food supplies, first aid and water.

Knowing someone who has lived through hurricanes in South Florida, guns and ammo came in handy. Just saying.

Oh no doubt. It would take a pretty bad one to get us to leave but that is always a possibility. Luckily my wife works for the govt so they would pay for our evacuation (hotel etc) Certainly makes sense...and as I spoke before love so much about growing up in Indiana so love it anytime we get to come home for visits/hunting trips.

Haha gotta go with my fellas!! But... most of them are hunters, anyway. I think they can fend for themselves lol I do have one or two players that are BIG time hunters. They fly out to Colorado on trophy hunts, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set a trap, cast a line and sit around. Big game is too much work and energy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man,when I was younger at that age and all the time I was either in school, on the field, in the gym, or in the woods. Of river,lake, creek. If I could catch it, shoot it, trap it, it made its way on my plate. I guess the wildest thing I did, during muzzleloader season, if it started to snow I would load my muzzy put on a long sleeve camo shirt, pair of pants and wool socks and spend the time stalking deer. It's much harder than you think but the cold never bothered me. Got a few that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep....as with most of us here. We went to school with a shotgun/rifle in gun rack in our truck everyday almost. Whether before or after school etc almost always in the woods if we weren't in the gym. Rabbits/Deer/Bass/Bluegill/Crappie. I especially liked hunting squirrel....not eating them though. I didn't have a steak from a cow until I was out of high school. Grew up on deer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my dad fished those strip pits around Dugger quite a bit. Biggest crappie we ever caught came from there. I remember an assistant teacher I had in 6th grade bringing in muzzleloaders he built to school to show us. What a different world we live in.

We took hunter and boating safety in the school. CO brought in guns to teach the class....but yeah different times for sure. No doubt all the pits/lakes etc left behind by the mines...awesome (even great terrain for 4 wheeling)...done plenty of fishing on the white/wabash river for catfish/perch...many times just setting out trot lines even.

My step-dad and I used to camp out on a sandbar on the Daviess, Knox county line. We ran trot lines and river nets and fished with poles using crayfish we seined out of creeks. I once reeled in a 54# flathead But from the nets and trot lines we fed people during Vacation Bible School and a big tent revival. Not pentecostal,my church was southern Baptist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the biggest we ever landed was just over 50. It was on a trot line….can’t imagine pulling it in on a reel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also caught a 30 ish lb white freshwater drum on a trip to Lake Cumberland. You want big fish, go for tarpon in the Florida Keys. Caught a few "babies" down there. Would love to do a deepwater trip for a truly big fish one day. Edited October 24, 2021 by mrflynn03 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
