Survival gear
This is interesting. Called a "gill net." Apparently highly effective-so much so that some states make it illegal but for somebody in a survival situation it could be great. Also can be used to snag birds or rabbits. This and a magnesium fire started and some knives and a tent.

Re: Survival gear
and a plan and a location. I think swamps and rivers with no road access might be okay

But a gill net might help you get something to eat in the middle of nowhere

Yep, gill nets are great. The people on the Alone tv show swear by them.

Re: Survival gear
With the proper tool and line, gill nets are easily made.

Anyone that knits could make a small one in a few hours.

Re: Survival gear
A 2 man seine net is a great way to gather baitfish, shrimp, crawfish etc. Live near the coast? Near a lake with lots of shallows? A seine can really bring lots of stuff for a gumbo or baits on a trotline.

A castnet is also very useful. Get some crab traps and bait them with whatever roadkill or chicken guts you can find. Gotta watch-over your traps though. A mess of crabs, boiled or bbq'd is some high hog eating...

Wallyworld used to sell some cheap hammocks, those work as nets and the nylon is easy to take care of.
