The Survival Gill Net is an excellent, and in some areas, required form of aviation survival food gathering. This 12’ x 4’ Emergency Gill Net is used by stretching it across a stream or pond. Its 1.5" survival fishing mesh meets current FAA regulations, but is perfect for all wilderness survival applications.

This Emergency Survival Gill Net is an excellent supplement to any fishing kit, to include our Fishing Series Survival equipment. The Survival Gill Net can be set up and left unattended while time is can then be devoted to other essential tasks making it a great calorie saving piece of kit – essential for survival.

The leaded foot  rope of the gill net acts as the weight to sink the net and the top rope is made of polypropylene that floats. The netting is clear enough to work in both water and land situations, yet visible enough for the user to see it and avoid getting tangled.  This emergency gill net is strong enough so that it can be used as a long net  for trapping rabbits and other small game.

It improves on the old style Emergency Gill Net by incorporating a monofilament line as opposed to the weaker string used previously. Because of this, it is a little larger than the traditional survival gill net when packaged. Our gill net even comes in its own mesh storage bag. The is the best survival gill net available on the market today!

The Survival Gill Net construction provides 24 feet of rope, top and bottom, to stretch across a river or stream to a suggested width and depth of 12ft long x 4ft deep. The netting is hung on the diamond, like professional fishing nets to give you a maximum stretch.

This emergency gill net construction allows for flexibility in areas requiring a maximum of a 19 foot net length with only a 2 feet depth. Or the gill net can be stretched to a mere 4 foot length which provides a greater depth of up to approximately 5 feet. The process of adjustment is made by simply placing a knot through the corner of the netting to the rope on the top and the bottom of the net.

Using the emergency gill net in a large body of water, the net can be anchored by sticks in the water in a circle similar to a fish trap, or the net can be pulled through the water along a shoreline as a seine to collect a group of fish. By closing both ends, the fish are then trapped.

This is one of those pieces of survival equipment that is a bit of a no brainer, anything that catches you dinner while allowing you to carry out other essential task is a must and this net can be used in all sorts of aquatic environments. This is a piece of survival equipment and should be used as such, if you intend to use it for any other use it is best to check the legality of use in your given part of the World.
