    Awesome! Have you ever watched Dual Survial on Discovery? That show is amazing. I have learned so much from it...if I ever get lost or stranded...I know I can survive.

    How many calories in whiteflies and gnats? I seem to ingest plenty of them on my rides some days. It's really bad when you get enough to crunch. But the protein helps, right?

    Good to know - next time I'm cleaning my bike's windshield, I won't just "waste" the little suckers - I'll save 'em for a healthy snack. :sick:

    Don't bother. You should just remove the windshield altogether and ride around with your mouth open -- all you can eat free snacks.

    I'm not sure if that is just gross or funny. Maybe, somewhere in between!! LOL

    But Bear Grylls always told me to pick out the one that's sure to gross everybody out, and down it with a bottle of piss.

    Wait, they're not all edible?

    :laugh: Now if I could just get an app where I scan the bug and I can get it identified so I can find out the Fat, Carbs, Protein %.
    Oh, and toxicity!!

    Kind of like Meal Snap, but Bug Snap!

    I figured they would be just as edible as chickens, deer, rattle snakes, pigs, cows, shark, bunnies, etc.
