    Emergency/Survival food in the backcountry.

    Did it make the jump?

    CWD aint new. They have been studying it for 50ish years now and to my knowledge there is no evidence of species jump. Can or will it happen? Maybe, but it's not like there isnt already a lot of study data, that so far doesnt support the idea presented in the article.
