| FISHING NETS | |||
| If its a long season and the fish are spawning, a net can get a massive increase of food along a river. Fish can be dried or smoked to last for a long time. Using nets for this purpose under normal circumstances is illegal in most jurisdictions. | |||
| Nets are also useful for camouflage (weave in sticks and twigs), various snare traps and can be improvised into hammocks when sleeping above the ground level is desired. | |||
| Other uses for nets include rigging them as a makeshift hammock, using them for trapping game or birds (although this takes some skill), and as a low profile defensive measure that can cause an infiltrator to stumble, make noise and possibly become ensnared. Also usable for a blockade device when you want to cordon off a game trail and make passage more difficult for potential intruders. A variant of the fishing net is of course the much lighter mesh that is used for mosquito netting. If you are in the tropics or in a place where there is a high density of insects you will want this as a feature in any tent or makeshift outpost where you would like to limit the smaller natural invaders |
