How far would you go?

No limits. Meat is meat.

And kids will likely taste better than grandpa.

Pick a chubby one with glasses (think Piggy from Lord of The Flies). Use his glasses to make fire, cook and eat him, render his fat down real good so you can waterproof your boots and make some lip balm.
Remember, "if it does not have at least three uses, it is not worth carrying.".....oh, and always check for gold teeth.

They say like pig or bear. I've had cougar sausage and it wasn't anything to write home about.

Ever eaten a dump bear... they taste like crap... cause they're eating human food. If sausage tastes bad then the meat is horrible.
 
I probably wouldn't go so far as a lot of guys say they will on my own. Living just isn't worth doing certain things.

Now if I had a wife and kids with me, I'd be willing to go a lot farther.
 
I was just thinking- there is something wrong with me, id eat a person before a dog assuming they're both living- now if they were dead, fair game
 
Not flame this thread too badly, but I've got to ask, really?

Have you guys ever SEEN a dead body up close (other than an elderly relative in a casket)???? It's not just a question of ethics.

I've been to lot's of murder scenes and witnessed autopsies enough to have become desensitized to it, but the LAST thing I would consider is eating a dead body. Dead bodies get pretty gross, pretty fast, nothing I would consider eating. I know those haven't been survival situations, but I have lost my appetite for long periods of time afterwards. Brains on your shoe is bad enough, but on your plate????????? I don't think I could do it.
 
I draw the line at cannibalism. I'd rather die than have that hanging in my conscience , not to mention the grossness of it. I went 3 weeks without eating once...and lived. Water and tea only. There's enough options without eating a dead person.

How far would I go ? This doesn't only have to be about food. What if I needed medicine? Money? Ammunition? Shelter? Something my family needed? In a SHTF situation I'd have no problem taking what I needed if and when I needed it. I am not a thief by heart , but if I needed something that desperately I'd get my hands on it somehow , hopefully without physical violence.
 
I was all puffed up to be macho and say I'd eat any damn thing. Then someone mentioned a dead kid and I shrunk a bit. Jeez, this isn't as simple as I first thought.
 
Whatever it takes. Its that simple for me and mine. Whatever it takes.

Live for another minute, hour, day, week, year, decade, whatever it takes.

Everyone dies, not early, not late, but exactly when they are supposed to, in the manner they were supposed to. No one lives forever, but I'm gonna do whatever I can to make it to the next moment.

That's life
That's life, and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there nothing shaking coming this here July
I'm going to roll myself up in a big ball
And die...
 
This thread makes me think of The Road. When I read about the various cannibals and marauders that the father and son encounter, I kept thinking about who they were and what they were like before the calamity of the book. One day, a guy is a dentist or auto mechanic. A few years later he's harvesting the limbs off living captives in his basement.

I would like to think I would not harm others unless provoked, but one never knows how far one will go if sufficiently desperate.
 
This is a great argument for putting on a few extra pounds for those lean times. I am going to cut some krispy kreme donuts with my esee 6 and prepare for just such an occasion.

You would want to gut them pretty quick or get those limbs off just like any other animal. Without a freezer, being in a very cold environment, or drying it there would be a lot of wasted meat unless you had a bunch of mouths to feed. I feel like the upper leg/ham is what you would want. Perhaps cut thin strips and dry/smoke it with a little Old Bay or Frank's hot sauce.

You can only hope you would have other options. Later on, if conditions got better, you might get a cookbook deal and a Food Network show.

Yep, humans decompose very quickly, if it's even close to being warm outside, you better work quickly, from what I've heard hands and feet are actually the better tasting bits.
 
I'd kill a zombie with a banjo for a twinkie.


I'd eat a person (no kids), but there'd have to be a severe lack of flora and fauna before I did it.

Then again, I might eat somebody that pissed me off just because...

The question is: would it be sportsman-like to use fishhooks to trap people in a survival situation?

Didn't mean for it to turn into the all-cannibal thread...maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that part.:o

This is all your fault Stabman you've turned us all into a bunch of cannibals. Here, eat my foot! :foot:

Pretty soon people will be starting threads like:
"What recipe would you recommend for cooking humans"
"How to make Canadian bacon...from Canadians"
"I was practicing Bush Craft Cannibalism this weekend (Warning: Graphic Pictures and Knife Porn)"
"Does anyone else get gas from eating Mexicans?"
"How to make lamp shades from your leftovers"
"What knife do you recommend for Cannibalism?

Busse Combat releases a Nuclear Meltdown Fat American Cannibal Battle Mistress.
...Should I get one with or without a choil?

Where does it end? And really how practical is it? I mean you only hear of Cannibalism when Westerners are caught on Alpine Mountaintops, lost in a frozen arctic sea or on an ice shelf, or some primitive cultures practice it for cultural reasons. You never hear of canibalism from starving native cultures unless it's cultural (they do it because they want too or for whatever stupid reason their shaman told them too, not because they had to). You don't hear of cannibalism in starving third world countries. Or maybe you do. It sounds like they're more experts on this forum than I am comfortable believing. :o

Certain Polynesian cultures were recreationally cannibalistic, specifically the Easter Islanders and the Maori, IIRC. Even the Anasazi Indians were cannibalistic to a degree, judging by remains found in excavations.

Cannibalism would work. It's just a gigantic taboo.

It ain't proper to eat the neighbors...don'tcha know

Successful assimilation of the ideal would only require that a person be willing to see people as animals, and detach from the "human condition."

Not saying that cannibalism would be as easy as buying a rack of ribs at "Food City", but, psychologically speaking, under the right conditions, it shouldn't be too much worse than processing and eating a deer carcass.

Unless it's kids. No kids. No exceptions.

I guess I was wrong, that could only have been written by a man with brain on his shoe. :)
