If I survive long term I’m trying to trap rabbits and if possible breed them in an enclosure. We need to add fat or oil though as it’s a lean meat and you can starve on rabbit.
I can possibly skin and gut (and have scraped the hides) but can’t bear to kill.
A chicken tractor from scavenged materials might do but foxes will most likely get them without a proper secure cage. Even then they can dig under.
Pigeons are another source of meat and can be let out to forage for themselves during the day reducing food needs. I can pluck but could not bear to kill.
Dandelion greens may offer vitamin c but they have to be clean and safe to eat.
It would be very smart to know about bush tucker
