You remember as kids those cool survival knives at the flea market ? I bet @TnRiver46 had one too. Anyway there was always mono fishing line and hooks. I was thinking if we found ourselves having to live for days or even weeks the easiest way to put food in out stomachs could be around creeks or streams which are always filled with life.
I tried to put together the smallest possible way to catch small stream fish using straws.
I have 30’ of 15# braid (Yozuri ?) 4 little flies which look like size 18 or less hook size and resemble mosquito, ant or gnats. I also played with Gulp and got 4 red worms in a straw and I dried some corn with heavy salt (takes about 20 mins to hydrate and go on smallest hook.
What would you guys add to the straw set? What a about a tic tac container size kit? Or even an altoids tin? The kit has to be small enough so that it is something you would carry without burden on every hike or hunting trip or for just a walk in the woods.
Any ideas on catching anything to eat around water I would like to hear!!
