Cooking and Eating LYNX! [CAT] - Over Open FIRE - FAR NORTH Bushcraft Lunch

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Trout head soup in the dutch oven. Lynx haunch roasting on a spit. Guns in the tree. Mashed chokecherry patty drying beside the fire. Wild apples mixed with squash cooking in a small pot. Bush life. Link to studies about Native Foods: Life is a search for energy, eating is for the living, and killing and gathering is the economy of nature. where will your next meal come from? We also look at chokecherries as a staple food cooked over the fire and dried, safely cross a frozen creek, identify sleeping animals in snow burrows and take a crack at a live hare. Maple Gazed Mystery Meat & Fish Head Soup Over Open Fire One moment nature presents an opening, and the next minute, it takes it away. Game of any kind is not easily taken and it doesn't offer itself for your consumption just because you're hungry. No doubt this hare was in shooting range, and Jeremy could have taken it, but trying to film the kill was too much to ask, so instead of scoring a hard earned meal, we were left with nothing. We also aimed to sample some exotic meats given to us by a trapper. Not being a typical food item gave me some reservation, but consulting the literature proved that many Natives did indeed consume it's flesh and when you're hungry, food is food, meat is meat. Still, we needed to find out for ourselves. Can typical furbearing mammals be part of a survival feast when less typical and desirable foods, like snowshoe hare, where not available? My research has shown that Natives ate more food items than most people think. While their nutrition came from big animals such as buffalo, moose, caribou, bear, deer and elk, they also ate marten, coyote, wolf, mink, weasel, wolverine, raccoon, fisher and even skunk, porcupine and chipmunks. Our daily special, the mystery meat, also made the list. Natives also ate such atypical things as loons, woodpeckers, herons, robins, jays, raven, doves, blackbirds, chickadees, and hummingbirds. But that's just a short list. In fact, the full list is much, much longer, and includes many birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians that you would assume never was fit on any reasonable persons menu. Essentially, any animal with edible flesh, was eaten, so long as it would stay still long enough to be bludgeoned, speared, or pierced by arrow, or other. The Natives hunted and ate indiscriminately and unlike us, did not have to obey game laws or seasons - a distinct advantage in wilderness living. In many cases, it was the whole animal that was eaten, from the nose and tongue right to the tail and hooves. Blood, intestines, organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, and the head and brain were all eaten. From the snout, right to the tail end. Some even ate antler velvet, and of course, the marrow from the bones - rich in fat. In nature, waste is relative, but being wasteful is costly. It means that more work needs to be done in order to procure additional and sufficient resources. This may benefit other animals such as scavengers, which happily feast on man's waste, but can spell disaster to any person trying to actually live off the land. Guts and grease is the root of the Native American diet. Those who couldn't or wouldn't eat these things wouldn't survive. Eating the whole animal wasn't just a trending thing to do - it was part of everyday life - it had to be done

They ate a lot of things, but what I read is that they prayed a lot over what they killed and it was often a solemn act to eat different animals. which to me indicates that they didn't have any kind of an adventurous animus in killing things, which many in our western culture have. If I had to kill a lynx to survive, I'd probably cry over it. because I like cats, and I think that would put me closer to how natives often felt when they had to kill what was available. do you ever feel like taking a moment of silence to commend the spirit of animals that you take?

I really like your posts! When you talk it's relevant to what is happening. You have opposite ends of the spectrum. I follow Joe Robinet - but he tends to talk too much- but it's bearable. There was on guy who built an out-door cabin & never said a word which is almost as bad but tolerable. You spent most of your time guessing what he was doing & why. I recently got rid of one poster because he was more talkcraft instead of bushcraft! So, anyway, please keep up the good work & I'll keep watching & enjoying your videos. :)

When it comes to ethics i think its important to know the context, like if i killed the bear by letting it bleed out was it because i shot it and it ran away and it took a while to track it, or was i fighting with the bear and i stabbed it a couple of times making it run away eventually and that he bled out? If its about survival i don't care about ethics, its either you or the bear by every means necesary.

Actually the hungarians make fish soup (which i think is the best of its kind)they use deliberatley the head and tail of the fishby putting in a siv and mash and press all the meat untill there is nothing left in the siv but bones. Google it up how to do it, i also promise that in very could weather it warms you up like nothing else(hungarians have also extreme could winters0

Hey Chris for your fishhead soup, may I suggest add the chokeberries (after cooking them ) to the fishhead soup, some maple syrup and then cook them all together. The flavour is finger licking good. Continue with your wonderful videos and God bless you

Fish head soup is pretty good with big salmon heads. Don't have to mess with all those little bones. And of course being well spiced helps a lot. I love it.
Very interesting about the lynx.
