Wilderness Survival: Fishing Supplies

Video Transcript

"It's time to start fishing now. In our survival pack I kept fish hooks, we have safety pins which can double for fish hooks, these things are great. We also, have some string which is great for out fishing line that we're going to be using, we have our wire, now this wire can actually turn into fish hooks if you don't have any, so you can take this off, break it, an make fish hooks. Then I have a little weight, now this weight is just a rock that I found next to the creek here that I'm going to tie off on the bottom to make sure that the line goes all the way to the bottom of the creek bed. Make a nice little knot here, okay, now we have our weight. Now we need to tie on our fish hooks, now what we're going to do is we're going to put on our fish hooks at different levels on the string. This is to make it so that we can leave it out there and, hopefully, get more fish on our line. So, go ahead, string it, just like this, find the point that you want it at, I'm going to want my fish hook right there. So, tie it off, there's one, now let's do the same with this other one, I'm going to want this one just a little bit higher, just like that. Okay, now we have our weight that's going to go all the way down, then we have our two fish hooks, if you have more fish hooks this is great, put them all down the line so that you can make sure that you catch more fish. Now you're going to need bait, now the best thing for bait is usually grubs or insects. Now, you can find all of these under a lot of wet log, if you look up, anywhere in these mountains, you can find a dead overturned trees, lift those up you're going to find maggots, a really good source of protein for fish, so their going to like maggots a lot, any insect, six legged, anything you can hook onto this one right here. Just be careful of spiders because you don't want to get bit and then have a health problem. So, all you have to do, string on earthworms, are another good thing, go ahead and string them on right there, throw this in. If you have a little booby, you can take a little blown up balloon or if you keep condoms in your survival pack, as well, you can blow one of those up, tie it off on the top and use that as your bob, otherwise you can extend your string and have it tied off to a little branch or scrub on the side of the creek bed on the side of the lake. Now that's how you fish, so get on with it."
