Survival Fishing Kit Day Out (Pics & Video)

[gwynn1975]

Went ice fishing with my parents today. Decided to leave all the fishing gear at home and just use the survival fishing kit that I have in my backpack. Worked out great!
I also got to put Hughewil's homemade knife through some tests that he asked me to do. It worked out really good, but I will continue to test it over the next few days
On to the pictures:

The whole tin kit is from Jas Townsend & Sons. My mom got it for me a couple years ago for Xmas. I've had to fill the bottles a few times. LOL

 

[Keyser Söze]

AND

WOW! those trout are Fat

 

[Joshuajk]

Awesome video and I think I'm going to add that spice tin to my "list of things I want".

Thanks for sharing!

 

[Shone]

Man, those trout were HUGE! I'm so jealous!!!

 

[Woods Walker]

Wow those are some fine looking trout. Thanks for post.

 

[OddTheViking]

Awesome! Great video and cool info on the kit! Thanks for sharing.

 

[gwynn1975]

Just a thought on this set up. It will also work on streams that have branches or deadfall hanging over the water. Just make sure the sticks are lodged into the deadfall good enough to not be pulled into the water.

I will be trying it out later next year in the warmer weather

 

[hellhammer]

Nice bro! Looks like an awsome day!

 

[foxfire]

Real nice blade. But you really know how to hurt a guy showing those beautiful trout. Congrats on your success.

I just watched the video. I didn't fully grasp the coolness of the homemade fishing rig until I saw the marker rope waving on the moving stick...Well played bro.

Trying to juggle the camcorder, still camera, and the fishing kit was hard. I didn't realize I didn't take as many still shots of the set up. Thanks for watching the video brother

Brrrrrr, this Florida cracker knows nothing about ice fishing...

 

[Looker]

You have enough ice for ice fishing? I'm jealous of that! Oh, and the kit and knife are nice too...

Looker

Barely.. LOL.. We jumped the gun a little early this year, and the ice still likes to pop and crack under your feet, but it's about 6 inches thick now..

 

[Carbonmated]

Haha the Bear Grylls bite of a raw fish that tastes like fish..... lmao.

I threw up in my mouth. Why on earth would you bite a raw fish when you had a perfectly good fire going!! I love it. Great success witht he fishing kit and love to see you out with mom and dad! Good stuff my friend.

It's actually something that I have been trying to do lately. Eating things out of the ordinary that I might come across in a true survival situation. I would rather throw up now trying it when I can go home and stay hydrated, then be in a situation and not know whether or not I was going to throw up. (obviously you don't want to dehydrate yourself more in a survival situation)

Might sound weird to some, but it makes sense to me.
