I agree. I'm looking to supplement with berries, mushrooms and fish - but 
this is mostly for fun and variety. If a hiker was to seriously starve he 
could live of trout by fishing all day. But this would deplete the streams 
rather quickly.

The closest I have come to "living off the land" was when skin diving for 
abalone. Those suckers have so much meat, that even the limit of 3 a day 
will feed you well. But this can be done only for a week, because the 
yearly max is 24 of them...
