You may claim to be able to cook, but how many of you have actually killed a wild animal intentionally before? How many of you know how to gut a dear, rabbit, or squirrel? As long as I avoided close-combat, im sure i could outlast most others.

They brought us a chicken, and we snared a rabbit to go along with it. The instructor said he'd help us cook them, but only if we named them before we killed and skinned them. Nobody else had any ideas, so I named the rabbit Mulder and the chicken Skully. One of the other guys did Mulder. I did Skully with a stick -- pulverized the whole neck. There's this easy way to skin a rabbit -- you have to take the head off first, then you make a slit from the neck down to the tail across the belly, and a gash connecting each of the hind legs and the forelegs, then you pull the skin apart from the waist and kick the body out through the hole. You can do sort of the same thing on the chicken, but it breaks the shoulders off and of course you lose the skin, which tastes pretty good -- but if you're trying to conceal a campsite you really don't want to be plucking feathers, so that's the way to go.
