Can make fishing lures and use live bait/beans. Can make twig bow with bow string (around 30lbs draw easily) and arrows. Can make sling shot with replacement bands, Y-branch, and stones. Can set snares, fish in local river/lakes, and hunt with bow and slingshot. Water/snow is boiled and food is cooked in pet bowls over rocket stove.

I've done this sort of stuff a few times before, so it is no big deal.
