Not sure depends. If you didn't do any of that would you still survive?

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Would I survive? Perhaps not so well. Everything I forage or hunt and fish for reduces the amount of dollars spent on buying groceries. And a good portion of what we eat you can't buy in a store.

The second part of that comment sounds like you are a culinary enthusiast not a survivalist. Like, I grow stuff in the garden to get better, fresher foods and varieties I don't see in the store, and also for the local bees Saving money is secondary(tertiary?), though I think at this point the lines may have crossed and we are saving some money. I do it because I like good food.

If I lived where there was more to forage, you can bet your ass I would be foraging too. Wild food is awesome.

It's probable, I do like to cook and do it well. Though I don't own a single kitchen knife that costs over $10US. But, that foraging really makes a large difference in the grocery bill also. Particularly when the grocery store is a mere 100 mile round trip away.

I tend to think I'm somewhere in the middle of surviving and hobbyist. I grew up poor and I'm often just doing the same things I have always done since childhood because we needed to. And I continue to do a lot of it simply because of habit and I do enjoy eating everything I forage.
