Yes, I know it's about fishing.... but, many of the stories I've read
included catching and eating sea gulls. Raw fish is bad enough, but raw sea
gulls... yuck... strictly for survival!!!

If I "knew" (as you state), I'd bring 10 pounds of beef jerky. Then I
wouldn't have to worry about fishing for food.

That and your 50 caliber Hawken, and you're set to hunt grizz on the
high seas.

Anyone remember that wonderful movie with Robert Redford and Will Geer?
Jerimiah Johnson?

About the only way I'd eat beef jerky is if I were stranded somewhere. I
wonder how long the commercial stuff keeps if the package is unbroken?

Trust me- forfreakin'ever.
