You have any prepper ideas about surviving an apocalypse and living off the land, forget about meat. It'll be crickets or some such. All the wild meat in the world will be gone in like 4 days due to massive over-hunting.
- beauzero 4y agoIf you ever look in old barns that have been there before the Great Depression (few but there are some) you will see rat traps with holes drilled in them. They were used to hang on trees to trap squirrels. Apparently this worked well the first year...not so good for the decade after that.
- therealdrag0 4y agoAre you saying there was a great squirrel die-off due to trapping?
- klyrs 4y agoIn an actual apocalypse, you'll find that people are made of meat.
- nicoburns 4y agoI'd guess that depends greatly upon where you live. Some places are sparsely populated, and I suspect it's these rural people who would have the best chance of surviving in an apocalypse. The earth is a big place. There's a non-trivial chance that some people wouldn't be affected at all.
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoThere are a LOT of people. Even a small percentage remaining, would quickly deplete all available wildlife. E.g. 1 deer will feed a family of four for a week. Or somewhere about that. There are approximately 100 deer per square mile in the US midwest. If population were depleted to a tiny fraction of what it is now, there could still be about one family per section. They would deplete the deer population to zero in 2 years.
- nicoburns 4y agoThere are a lot of people. But not everywhere. What you say will true for the US. But in more sparsely populated and less accessible parts of the world it may not be.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoThe US is pretty sparsely populated. Don't let the crowded cities fool you. #161/203 rated by population/land mass. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-by-density https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries...
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 4y agoThere are a lot of people...right now, but in an apocalypse scenario, a huge number of those people will die off before getting a chance to hunt. Some to starvation, some to other humans, and many many to whatever event is causing all this in the first place.
