Funny this thread came back up.
I was talking to my mom and my dad the other day. My dad enjoys fishing. He also grew up with his grandpa spending every day on a boat, in an RV, camping, fishing, etc. He joined a local search and rescue team and went out on several training exercises where he would be out 2 or 3 days with only the food he could catch.
I asked him the other day if he would be interested in hunting and he said straight up that he would have no interest in hunting even for food.
He did say, however, that if I had an interest in learning to take and prepare my own food, that is something he would be interested in teaching me.
My mom's also always thinking about EOTWAWKI type scenarios (not sure why but it is what it is) and thinks we should know how to be self-sufficient (which I ultimately agree with).
Thanks for the words and advice everybody here. I'd love to hear more experiences though as it will be kind of a big thing for me
