Fooles, I didn't want to bring that up.

Anyway, once you have drinkable water you can make all sorts of things. Soup. Boiled meats and veggies and use the stock for soup.

Or kill an animal and slice the meat into pieces about .25 inches thick, then hang in the sun to dry (works best in desert-like areas). Or start a smudge fire under the drying racks.

If you're somewhere that cattails proliferate you can dig up the roots and cook them like you would potatoes. The seeds can be used as a flour substitute if ground between rocks, or to extend flour you might have. In the spring the shoots can be eaten like asparagus. (They taste like chicken -- everything in the wild tastes like chicken, including rattlesnake, whale, beaver, bison, squirrel, cedar stumps, death camas, catfish, and monksbane.
