Questions for Brian
What questions would you like to ask Brian about his experience? Do you find his experience believable? How do you think you would have dealt with a similar situation?
If the only food around yoou was the food you dislike, would you eat it? Why? This experience could go either way for me. I can see it is believable because Brian is in the wilderness with all of this meat (deer,bear,foolbirds) and fruit which Brian calls "gut cherries" and other things on bushes and trees. I can see its unbelievable because the way he got cut up and had no band-aids to cover it. I think it would have gotten infected and had to have something to cover it. I would've done the same thing as Brian and live their but try to find my way back at the same time. Unless I had some type of communication. Then I would call for help immediately and say I need help. Two months is a little long for me though. I couldn't survive that in the wilderness especially. Maybe two weeks to a month.

If you would be stuck somewhere different, do you still think you could survive? Even with no suplies?
Jokes on me
