I've heard you can starve to death eating rabbits.

[claypunk]

@rubbersole79 It makes sense that if you are ONLY eating rabbits there is not enough nutrition in them alone to survive. You need other sources of nutirents as well.

2:55 A can of Mountain Dew on the shelf? LOL

[jasomeeko]

ive been eating brains for the past two weeks along with rabbit no water only what i used in the stews and what drians out of the brains and im still alive

[jackkthefuckingreat]

nice camera.

@ruger111dog the fix to that would be to eat clean like vegetarian and or throw in some fish such as salmon for the highly rich and health fish fats.

[ruger111dog]

Rabbits are vary lean so a steady diet of rabbit meat without eating fat will lead to protein poisoning Im not sure if this true but I heard if you eat the braines it will provide you with enough fat to prevent protein poisoning. I don't think I would try it unless I was in a survival situation and showing signs of it.

How often do you have to obtain fuel for your generator (that generates your electricity)?



[davehutchinson67]

You should look up info on Richard Proeneke, he was the definitive man on the range...he has so much information you would do well to learn from him.

@rubbersole79 its actually just starve from eating only protien. Your body needs carbohydrates to sustain life. If you eat the eyes, and innards you would be fine, also vegetation too.

Brain is dangerously high in cholesterol.

[dinnerandashow]

I suppose finding someone to deliver shrimp fried rice and egg drop soup is a luxury there.

[CPLBSS88]

@rubbersole79 they have very little fat and mostly protein so if you eat only rabbit for a few months then yes, you will give yourself protein poisoning. There is also the fact that your body needs vitamins and minerals...

[keanan00709alex]

you are AWESOME

[MrAnthonyRizzo]

It’s not that there is too much protein but that there is not enough fat. Surviving out in the cold burns a whole lot of calories and the body needs the quick easily absorbable energy that comes from fat and carbohydrates. In the wild winters of Alaska you will be hard pressed to find carbohydrates but you can find fat in the form of fish. Rabbits are lean muscular little critters that provide little in the form of fat.

[ironlionkalo]

if you eat the eyeballs and brain there is enough fat to forgo protein poisoning

[meforgodforall]

@claypunk Correct. This is what is commonly called "rabbit fever" and it's death from malnutrition. Rabbits lack the fat that is needed for you to survive long term.

[kaitlei]

its just like caribou

[SKATEtheNATION]

@KatiushaVN4 It's called rabbit starvation. Too much protein and other nutrients aren't there for basic functions.

[rubbersole79]

@KatiushaVN4

Look it up, if you know how.

[KatiushaVN4]

@rubbersole79

Stop talking nonsense
