I put some of these in a post that might have contained some things to get you in trouble with the local law enforcement and it got deleted.no problem,I'll keep my illegal things to myself.LOL
The rest of this is worth shareing,I'm not the only broke guy here I'll bet!
Buget Ghillie suit.
Materials:
A piece of cloth big enough to cover yourself or a blind area,you can get a sheet at the goodwill or Salvation army for two bucks.
A pile of dead leaves.
A can of spray adhesive,you can get it in the automotive section of K-mart or any good auto parts store.
Throw the sheet over a clothes line and lightly coat one side with the spray adhesive,let it tack dry about 5 minutes.
Throw the sheet,glue side down into the pile of leaves and press it in.
Let dry 24 hours.
Now you have a "ghillie"suit equal to a 600$ custom in camoflageing ability,when the leaves start comming off,just add more adhesive and leaves.it'll last a hunting season.
Firearms for the poor.
So you're of low income,that's not a reason not to be able to defend yourself in a survival situation or hunt food.
An SKS is not a MLBR these days,but its still a decent weapon,an SKS will set you back about 200$,30 round Mags are 20$ each for the good ones,and you can still get 100 rounds of ammo for 20$,but please get some decent ammo too!Now if you have good sense and just run,get a Mosian Nagant for 100$ and a case of ammo for 120$
Marlin makes 22 rifles anyone can afford,120$ will get you a tack driver and 50$ more will get you all the 22lr you can carry.
Mossberg shotguns can be had for as little as 200$ammo is cheap at wally world.
A good,functional 9mm can be had for under 200$ in the form of a Yugoslavian Tokorev pistol.have the feed ramp polished!
None of these are high on my list as survival weapons,but if its all you can afford,these are some of the best for the money.
Silent squirrell hunting
Attach a few rat traps to a tree where they feed and smear the trigger with peanut butter.you can attach them by drilling a hole in the trap and putting a long wood screw through them into the tree.not sporting,nor legal but if you're hungry,do you care?
Trout line.
Some areas consider this method illegal or littering,its legal here however.
Tie three feet of baited fish line to a milk jug or similiar floating container,tether it off to the bank or handy tree limb.come back in the morning and collect your fish.
A month worth of fire starter tabs for a buck.
Go to wallyworld or K-mart and get a cheapo fire log.
Take a hacksaw and cut it into 1" wafers.
Store the resulting wafers in plastic wrap.they burn about ten minutes.
And on the subject of starting a fire...
Always carry a road flare in your kit,it'll start all but soaked through wood and can be seen for miles if you're lost!it itself produces enough heat to boil water but beware of the spatter,it will scar you for life!
10$ crossbow
I don't think this is illegal to hunt with,but I'm not sure it isn't either,so if you're silly enough to try to hunt with it,please check.its mainly a defense tool for someone who can not or does not own a firearm!
Go buy a "wrist rocket"slingshot.
Wrap a small amount of wire across the yoke[the Y]and lay a broadhead arrow across it,its good for 20 feet.sight down the arrow.
Thats all for now,anyone else have any good ideas?
