Help please?

I would advise simple fishing tackle as being the best way to gather a useful amount of protein easily without attracting attention. Using fishing gear with strong line and large hooks will also trap small animals to eat. Firearms are great if you have them, but attract attention.

Fishing, trapping, foraging and gardening are the best low-attention gathering techniques. Learn edible plants, bushcraft skills. If you can find any of The Foxfire Book series, these are great for primitive living skills. For long term survival and evasion skills in a hostile environment Six Ways In and 12 Ways Out by George Jasper is the best to be had in the "open" , unclassified literature.
