While camping with my family in Northern MI my daughter challenged me to only eat what I could find in the woods for 24 hours. I set out that day alone on a hike and should have snuck some granola along. While it was only a day, it was harder to procure enough calories using only what I had carried with me. I wanted it to be just like a regular hike I would take. I just tested to see if I could collect enough food to not be too hungry. If the challenge had been 5 days I would have simply not hiked and hunkered down in a shelter to conserve fuel and I would be fine. I keep a survival straw and Leatherman multi-tool in both my Jeep and in any pack I carry. I also have fire-making tools and matches. This was fun. You should try it. Oh, and I did not hear the weird howls at 2:10 and 2:17 at the time so I have no idea what made that noise. #bigfoot #survival #prepper
