Adventure Weekend (Or something?)

[Purity14]

Sitting here eating my Ham Sandwich, (not Sam Handwich, as he is a fellow member) got me thinking.

 

I would like to go on an adventure weekend somewhere and kill an animal by whatever means, a gun, a spear/javelin, bow and arrow, crossbow or even some hand-to-hand melee with a bear.

 

The problem I am finding, is that I would like to eat the animal afterwards, like a survivalist weekend or something - however I am struggling to find anything like this on google, but my thoughts are that it must exist surely?

 

I have no preference to the location of activity, but I want to be the one who kills the thing im eating, so that it tastes that little bit better.

 

Has anyone ever come across such an activity/adventure weekend?

[Purity14]

Also, Ive been googling "kill baby deers and eat them adventure weekend" etc, and i'm only getting links to the "kill it cook it eat it" TV programme.

Now, I dont want to be part of a television show - or indeed famous or noticed in any way - so any other options are greatly appriciated.

I'd suggest searching for survival weekends or survival holidays, where they teach you 'bush craft' - in fact, try searching for that as well.

 

We did one, but all we did was attempt to catch fish, failed, then learnt how to do the whole fire thing and cook a fish he'd bought from Sainsburys.

Thanks Trev,

But Fish dont interest me, just like rabbits I suppose, I want to go big for my first kill - something to excite myself over.

 

I will google survival weekends and holidays and see where that gets me

Get yourself a 4x4 and do an expedition across some country (any preferences?) and just hunt some food simples just maybe want to make sure your in a game area or no one is around otherwise you may end up in trouble

[tbourner]

I don't think they'll let just anyone go out and shoot a deer though, as you'd likely wound it and get done for cruelty or something. Even rabbits are pretty tricky to kill first time which is why you have to go through all the boring process of the shooting range and getting your grouping down before anyone will let you on their land. Nobody wants a wounded animal running off to die slowly in their barn.

Never shot a gun other than a air rifle, but I'd rate myself quite good with a decent bow as I used to own a composite one ages ago.

 

So maybe if it was like a 'Pocahontas red-indian survival holiday' i think id be in my element.

The problem with that idea is id have to figure out what was worth eating or not, i.e. safe to eat, or hows best to just start carving it up.

I saw bear grilles just throw a skunk on a fire once to get rid of its fur, but he said it tasted like shit anyway, its seems quite a minefield.

Have you searched for that?

[RobSheffield]

Maybe you could go to a local Macdonalds and they could let you cook a burger

 

In my eyes this would be very similar to your idea, as you have survivalist techniques required, and you could shoot some chavs

[Purity14]

Have you searched for that?

 

Not my kinda thing.

My gf used to go on an American Indian style holiday every year when she was younger. They'd dress up as traditional American Indians, sleep in TeePee's and hunt for they're own food etc. I'll ask her about it if you like and find out where it was....unless you mind dressing up as an Indian to fulfil your bloodlust haha.

How very strange.

You're welcome to join me and my friends on a fillie hunt.

 

Only dart guns and tranquilizers are used but we have a great spit roast afterwards.

I am led to belive that Brendan is already well versed in "Bush Craft"..!!

[Josh]

Why not just go to the woods with a hunting knife and stab at creatures until they can't carry on then whack 'em on a fire? All it will cost you is £30 for a decent knife, or if you want to make it even better, fashion yourself a knife with a piece of steel and a rock.

 

Let me know when you're going and I'll come and film it for you as evidence proof.

[Thorin]

Isn't this just a normal Saturday night out in Merseyside?

 

Have you thought about joining the army?

You can't cook and eat the Taliban. Well not if someone sees you..

I would rate myself a 7/10 with a balisong, I can do ariels and everything - but im not good enough to kill any local cows with it - people would get upset.

I just want to have the experience of camping out, killing some decent animals, and then cut them up and eat them.

 

Just for you Josh;

Leviticus(KJV 1611)

26:28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

 

But the taliban arent my sons or daughters, and I am not being besieged at this time for it to be permissable. (cited elsewhere in the above scripture)

I believe Charlotte summed this thread up best when she said, "How very strange."

You lost me at the bible quotes.

 

Maybe make it easy on yourself by purchasing a copy of Cabela's African Safari and eating a burger at the same time as shooting a giraffe in the neck. All the benefits but no prison sentence.
