Poor Bunny??

[daywalker]

I have heard and read that during the 30 week training you do a survival course where you have to look after a Rabbit for a couple of days and then kill and eat it.

Poor little Bunny!!

Is this true???

[Aldo]

I'm pretty sure that happens on the USMC survival course not sure about ours, it doesn't sound too far fetched. Don't tell voodoo though he'll soil himself, don't worry voodoo I'm sure it'll be quick :grab:

Yes its true. Rabbits are widely available ( a bugger to catch mind you) and very tasty. If your ever put in the position of going hungry or eating poor fluffy you can be sure the rabbit gets it.

While on the subject anyone know how to catch a fish with coke bottle? I was shown it while on a weekend trip with the cadets but i forgot since. Nettle tea is also nice and new ways to use orange peel

[fodd]

cmon you wanna join da marines and u dont like the idea of killing rabbits? iv been shooting ducks,geese,pidgeons rabbits etc all my life nothing to it!

[Kat =^..^=]

Yes you do have a bunny, normally you are asked to give it a name too I think it's also an excercise in detatching yourself, as you have to look after it and feed it then kill it and eat it

Id call it meat so it had time to prepare itself for death and prepare my stomach, YUM YUM rabbit stew

From what I can remember of days fishing at my local sewer run off otherwise known as the Tees River, you cut the top off the bottle so it looks like a funnel, put it in the body of the bottle so the narrowest end is in the bottle so when the fish go through the narrow bit they can't get out. Easy

Wait to you get to the rats now they don't look nice but can taste like chicken.

[Dave.Mil]

As the red indian( I know it's native American) once asked "does chicken taste like snake"

[Andy O'Pray]

Not me owdun, we just used PE fishing rods. Those North African sea bream tasted great.

Aye - Andy.

Submarine blasting gelignite of the arse end of an LCM used to work quite well in the MED.

Hacked off the local fishermen mind.

How things change! We had chickens, not rabbits.! Quite funny to see guys running around trying to catch headless chickens - quite literally!
