Chapter 127: Santino’s Survival School Part 2

Santino showed Olivia and Oliver how to build a few different kinds of traps, bait them with nuts from the woods, and wait for some hungry critter to wander into them. It really was amazing how much could be accomplished with just a knife.

He gave Olivia and Oliver each a chance to catch something. They got a squirrel and a rabbit. “Wow, we are real hunters now,” Olivia said. “You are,” Serena said. “You’re fast learners.” “We can survive anything,” Oliver said. Santino showed them how to skin the squirrel and the rabbit, then how to make a spit for a fire so they could cook. It was just about lunch time when the rabbit and squirrel were ready to eat. “It tastes funny,” Olivia said, wrinkling her nose. Serena sat down beside them and used her own knife to cut off a strip of rabbit meat. “That’s because it isn’t seasoned with any salt or anything,” she explained. “It will keep you strong and healthy out in the woods, though.” “Oliver and I will eat like kings out in the woods,” Olivia said, tapping her knife against one of the rabbit bones. “Let’s go check the fishing traps,” Santino suggested. He had showed them how to weave little nets out of grass and they’d stuck them in the stream to float in the current. Fish would get stuck in them from the current and be unable to swim against it to get back out. Olivia and Oliver waded into the stream with Santino. They lifted their nets up to check for fish. Olivia frowned when she looked in her net.

“They are just tiny minnows,” she grumbled. Santino laughed.

“That can happen sometimes,” he said. “Still, it is important for you to know how to catch fish when there is water nearby.” “What if we can’t catch anything?” Oliver asked, his eyes wide and terrified. Santino chuckled.

to a thicket with bushes down the stream. “You don’t want to eat any berries or mushrooms that you find in the woods,“ Santino said. “Some of them can make you really, really sick.” “How do we know what to eat?” Olivia asked. “I’ll show vou several berries and mushrooms that

and tell me you won’t eat anything that Uncle Santino doesn’t show you. It could make you really sick.” “I promise,” Olivia said. “Me too,” Oliver said with a head nod. Serena nodded back. “Good, let’s get back to the lesson,” she said. Santino showed the twins three different mushrooms and four different berries they could safely eat. He also showed them a type of nut that was safe to eat too. “What about acorns?” Olivia asked, picking

You know how to be safe with your knives and safely put out a fire. What else do you think you’ll need to know?” “I don’t know,” Olivia said. Oliver shrugged. “What do you have at home?” Serena asked. “Food, warmth, water…” “Clothes?” Olivia asked. “A roof,” Oliver said. Serena smiled at both her kids. “Good guesses, both of you,” Santino said. “One of the
