I assume you come to SHTF Blog for the TEOTWAWKI unusual. Unorthodox thinking and entertainment for survival samurais. While material on how to store beans and bullets for 3 lifetimes is useful, writing it bores the living shit right out of me. I’ll read the information when I’m looking for it, but otherwise – entertain me, and if there’s a little information in that entertainment – all the better.
I’ve posted before on eating mice or rats when the chips are down, most notably my trap design for catching good eats.
Now it appears the Indian government is at least reading and following SHTF Blog’s wisdom (lol).
Seriously, scope it:
Vijay Prakash, secretary of the state’s welfare department (India) said eating rodents “will help in mitigating the global food crisis. We are sure that it will work wonders. It will save half our grain, and will also reduce villagers’ dependence on food stock.”
His new plan promotes rat munching in homes, streets, restaurants and five-star hotels. Yum! “Rat meat will make up nutrition deficiencies among villagers, since rats are a major source of protein,” he said.
So there you have it. Get a Havahart trap, build my mouse trap bucket, and you’ll secure enough regular sources of fresh protein come TEOTWAWKI that you’ll be able to utilize your TEOTWAWKI grill selling meat for silver coins post-doomsday.
People in Thailand loooove rat meat. Check the article right here. “It’s better than chicken,” one customer said.
Now if that isn’t useful information, I don’t know what is!

You do not see the squirrel cowering in the corner, shivering with fear….
I’ll pass, thanks. My cats and dog ensure that by greedily intercepting any such morsels before I can find them.
Anyone remember the movie Free Jack?
“the secrets in the sauce, you dont just throw boiled rodent on a plate and say red wine or white wine?”
How about Demolition Man, “rat?, I’m eating a rat burger? Good Rat!”
Remember rodents generally carry more diseases and parasites. So handle with care as to avoid fleas and ticks, gut um, and cook medium well to blackened. Then use proper clean up and waste disposal procedures.

I would have to be aweful hungry to eat rat.
Yeah good point tweel. Then again you could just let the cats + dogs eat the rats and eat them instead. Btw lol “sexy shtf kitchen” haha so funny…
Why not? We eat casually eat pig, clams, and other “dirty” living things. When it comes to survival, deep sixing your food prejudices is just plain smart.
I believe Harbor Freight can beat that price on a HavaHart (or clone) of it – believe $8 or $9 iirc.
Time to apply for my ‘Rat On A Stick’ franchise – do you want spicy or extra crispy.
