Fishing and Foraging Introduction

This warranted its own catagory. The first box I packed was all our fishing gear. Each of the kids has their own rod. The plan is that we will have about three fish meals per week, and sustain ourselves as much as we can from the environment. That means we have to catch fish, collect mussels, oysters and crayfish. There are obviously other more exotic seafood lines we can harvest such as red bait, octopus and other shell life. We will keep track of all the fishing and foraging try and post pictures and comments just what we have been able to eat.
Remember it is a six hour return drive to the shops.
Foraging will include everything from Guineafowl, to pigeons, to field mice, to mushrooms. One of us is more keen than the other to see jsut what we can catch, forage and eat.
We will of course do all of this within environmentally sustainable bounds.
