How to fish - for beginners

Fishing is another essential skill

Fishing is a simple, quiet, and efficient way to get food. You need to get rods, reels, line, hooks and you need to practice setting traps - like trotlines or fish baskets. 

Portable fishing kits should be in every bug-out bag. Even in urban areas, there are often ponds, rivers, or streams teeming with fish, but you need to find out which of these are legal in your area..

Hunting and fishing will also teach you patience, observation and respect for the balance of nature.
