Ok alot of spices have antimicrobial properties and where used to help preserve food before refrigeration and one problem mountain hunters have is getting meat out quickly enough before it spoils other is making sure animals dont get into such as racoon possum bears wasps so i was curious can store bought spice be used for helping preserve meats such as using spice like cayenne pepper to & 2 spiciness of it help ward off some animal from eating it or would this only work for fresh spices ?
Also what spice or other similar would make sense for this salt is another i can think of #activity
If you are stranded at sea and able to reach the shore potentially. Do you wear your life jacket. I feel like this would prevent me from swimming effectively and actually cause problems.
If the sea is rough I think it could make things worse.
Also if you had the choice of items to jump off of a sinking boat that is further from shore what would you choose?
Water would be my first go, high calories foods next (if I can find a cliff bar)Pants can be used as temporary floation device. Denim is worse than tightly woven synthetic fibers.
If I thought I could swim to shore (I was a triathlete) should I wear the life jacket? Would it just prevent me from getting to shore? #activity source
