Modern Day Hunter Gatherer

[newtoketonot]

Modern Day Hunter - Gatherer.
Here in the UK, (I have been Cumbria based for the last 25 years or so). I mainly hunt in Tesco, but also hunt and gather in Morrisons, Asda, Sainsburys, Aldi, Lidl.
I don’t think I have left out any other major hunting grounds, in West Cumbria, but if I have, beg pardon. I would imagine The Lake District would have been one the best places in the UK for hunters, in days gone by. Many ancient Stone Circles give testimony to this, Castlerigg, Long Meg, Swinside, etc etc. And the beautiful landscape, won’t have changed much.

I have swapped my spear for a shopping basket, but it’s hunting non the less.

It’s best to hunt for Bargains/kills late afternoon, lot’s of meat and fish have the yellow stickers on and have been often vastly reduced to half price and less.

Hunting at later times you can come across even better bargains / kills. But many other hunters will snatch the kill from your hands, can be quite dangerous.

But you must acknowledge, those arriving to catch the best bargains are well seasoned hunters and usually in much more need than yourself for finding such a kill. So do take a step back, out of respect for such hunters and let them take the kill. We can easily wait, because we are fat adapted.

Today, I caught a massive salmon at Morrison’s, half the original £7 per kg, the fishmonger also filleted said fish.

Just eaten a large portion fried in Kerrygold, ( I am Zero Carb) , the rest in the freezer. I happily reflect on such a good hunt as I am sure my ancestors did. Tomorrow I shall hunt pork, or steak.

First call, to the Tesco Forest, and from there, to search the undergrowth of Morrison’s, Asda and Aldi vast green oasis etc etc.
Now I know these are not the most favoured hunting grounds, but for some these are all we have.
For those in doubt, said with the intentiion to raise a smile.

Oops, still a newbie here, tried to add a pic I took at friends wedding zero carb food. . Please excuse multiple post’s cant see how to delate ?.

If you get more of a catch then your able to carry out of the woods, you could hide it under some other forage till you come back the next day to claim what is rightfully yours.

Loved your post and the lovely bunch of “Wildlings”!

Great food at that wedding, BQ pork, steak burgers all local Cumbrian sourced meat, no added ingredients, they were not aiming for Keto or ZC , just good chef’s, serving good local foods. Yes their was bread rolls for the burgers, but the protein and fat ratio would have won on the day. Just posting as an example as how I think people are are changing their diets. And chef’s can see this, and play their part in what may seem like a diet revolution in future times. I hope so.

Still can not see how to delate the multiple post’s. Hey Mods, fancy cleaning this up ?. Much appreciated. Just a newbie error, won’t post any more pics. Promise.

at the bottom of your post will be three dots, to the right of the link and edit pencil icons. click on that and the delete garbage can should be one of the options.

happy hunting, by the way. I often look at my shopping excursions that way!

Hey fellow hunter Kib, just did that and delated more than wanted, so re-clicked to undo, and it all came back, I thinks I shall just leave it there. But hey, thanks for your input, much appreciated. And happy hunting, without scrolling back up, to see if I said this already, best hunting times are just after 2pm on a Sunday. Keep that to yourself, just stroll on in to your local hunting ground, be light footed, and down wind, be it Tesco, Morrison’s etc breathe easy, when you see your prey, hold still, try not to even breathe, and spear a few local bargains. But most of all, at some time, when in a reflective mood, say thank you to animal. And when God see’s such gratitude, she will see you never grow hungry.
