    I hope you guys aren't squeamish but further to my post above, I should explain that I have been eating bugs and grubs etc since I was a young boy and used to go out with my grandmother collecting huhu's which she would lightly fry in butter (grandfather used to cook them on a shovel head over hot coals). I love those things and will eat them every opportunity that I get. The photo's below were taken by AndrewH about 12 years ago. What Phillipgr and Brycey saw when I ate the caterpillar and the beetle is just me reinforcing to myself that the bush will feed me if I need it to.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    With you there Rushy, but they don't taste too good from gum trees. Other than that I love that satay chicken taste.

    Yeah eating insects - very dependent on what they have been eating.
    Rushy I wouldn't eat anything feeding on ragwort.

    Sounds good. But I must have a good look around my own back yard first.

    Dundee I was eating them long before I had the comfy gear. Only do it to confirm to myself that I can if I needed to.

    Hey Rushy, next time we are out and we stumble across a huhu, count me in. You can hold me to it. Got to balance the roast chicken, scones and beer with something a bit more backcountry right?
    Yeah nah bro
