[QUOTE="DarkLaw, post: 771806, member: 8246"] The PERK of having all of that - the grinder, the extra freezers, the knowledge of butchering, hunting, and even processing your own game is INVALUABLE when it comes to being SELF RELIANT. I'm not saying you'd ever have to go out into the woods and hunt just to put food on the table, but SOME people might, especially those that live in rural areas and lose their jobs, etc. Once all of that is bought and paid for, you own it. You COULD have spent that same money on food - but after 10 years, I doubt it would have tasted so good. By learning the skills needed, you can reliably feed yourself/your family for when that worst case scenario occurs. OR what if you already know HOW to process/butcher? What if you get an extra freezer for free? The total cost of the 'hunt' is now reduced to the cost of a bullet and some patience, maybe a few gallons of gas. Obviously, most would own a gun whether they hunt or NOT - so you can't add the cost of a firearm generally (at least on this forum). Sooo, even on a conservative end - you net 75 lbs of meat after it's all said and done, maybe even gave a friend 20 lbs in order to help you process it, you have now saved hundreds of dollars. For the cost of a few gallons of gas, patience, and [hopefully!] one bullet. I firmly believe hunting saves money if done properly and frugally. [/QUOTE]
