Squirrel eating power bar near at El Cap

I've eaten Squirrel before. Not a lot of meat but it tasted ok. That guy might taste pretty good with all that vanilla in his system. LOL :)

Soak them in vinegar water for an hour before cooking; Gets rid of the blood in the muscles.
Cheers!

I haven't eaten squirrel but it's Pip's favorite.

Goood eatin'. Used to hunt them in my back yard as a kid, skin and eat 'em.
BUT speaking of a powerBar'd squirrel atop Yosemite...today I met a squirrel who could have used that powerbar. I was kayaking in a small creek and this guy falls out of a tree above, and into the water. His attempts to scale the overhanging cliffs were useless, as I paddled upstream just to watch. Finally the rodent just Jumped off, right at me. He missed the boat, but continued to swim across the 50 ft. of stream to the other shore. Pissed he was at not sending that 5.13 roof I'm sure.

Hahaha...That's funny WC. That reminds me of when a bunch of us were climbing at the Sun Cave in the Virgin River George. There were quite a few of us hanging around outside the cave, including some big name hard men from Salt lake city. As we sat there talking all of a sudden a squirrel fell from the top of the cave, hit a ledge just above us and rolled down the rock, between two guys, and stopped right at their feet. One of the two guys was a professional climber by the name of Geoff Weigand and as the squirrel lay there on it's stomach, front legs splayed out and blood gushing from its nose, making the most awful squeaking noises. Geoff sat there speechless, stareing at the Squirrel, with the most disgusted look on his face and then suddenly said, in his Aussie accent, "OH MY GOD, I think I'm going to puke!" So, no one wanted to touch this dead squirrel and remove it from our hang out spot. So, I, with my wilderness survival background, reached down and picked the thing up by the tail and said "Dibbies on the hide!" to which I received several moans and groans. But instead I just walked 20 or so yards from the crag and pitched the thing into the weeds knowing he'd make a good meal for a bird or something.

and here I thought you were gonna tell us how you gave it mouth-to-mouth to revive the little guy....

That would be enabling natural selection WC. I am just a humble witness to the forces of Mother nature. Besides, that Squirrel looked a little slutty to me. I didn't want to get some kind of funky squirrel STD.

OMG that last comment made me chuckle.

ahh, you are so wise. I forgot natural selection and survival of fittest. A proper death to the animal it was. And good eatin' later for us, top carnivores.
