I’ve never been hunting before. In fact, I don’t think I’ve
ever even been given the opportunity. I’ve never felt any particular desire to
do it, but I like to think that I would go at least once in my life. While I’m
not too keen on shooting an animal (animal person over here) that hasn’t really done
anything to me, I can see the need for it if something were to happen to force
me into a situation of survival.
In that case, I’d want the proper gear with me, starting
with a good hunting knife. I know very little about guns, but I’d know enough
to bring along some shooting accessories. Obviously, we want some good eye protection
for keeping our line of sight clear. Let’s don’t forget a good pair of boots
for trekking through any kind of terrain, because no one likes getting stuck in
the mud. Do we want to bring any kind of bug spray or anything to keep the
insects away? I say, why not.
But is it going to be fun? I understand there’s a lot of
sitting and patience required for hunting. If that’s the case, what do you do
in the meantime? Do you read? Listen to music or informational CDs? It sounds boring, but I’d much
rather know how in the case of a world-ending event that causes all electronics
to no longer work (spoiling the food on my fridge) than not. And in the end,
isn’t that what hunting’s really about? No? Ah, I’ll figure it out one day.
