its good hes getting the crew involved

You notice Ray at 5:00 ? Hes just standing there in another world in a daydream as the others are walking off.

That happens alot with people when out in the wilderness.

Their mind becomes relaxed and starts to obsorb the calming influence of the surrounding nature.

Very much like the old 'Camp Fire Stare'

@GrimLP

One would think the survivors would open up a Human Restaurant after their learning experience.

@solobackpacking Well, like ray said, the only food they found were those plant roots. And not only that, but if it was winter, animals would have been scarce anyway.

Why did the Europeans starve and resort to cannibalism when they had guns in which to hunt game? I am not sure about then, but it's easy to spot deer in the woods of north eastern America.

i have found that cat tail fluff actually is a rather poor tinder. If it is really fluffy it burns in an instant and then goes out. if it is held in a bundle it just wont light at all. if you have nothing else it will work but it's not easy.

they would of had a fire.

@MrAudacia Yea really, eh? The poor guy looked sad after

[MrAudacia]

ray is a bit of a dick for taking the ember away from buddy and doing it himself. he may be skilled in bushcraft, but that act showed lack of tact and leadership.

@anzac2404 wtf... You'd eat Macca's over some good fresh food?!?!? Never eat that shit man, it's just chick-pea filler and bullshit.

@SpaceM0nkey620 I bet its a Karrimor 75litre, he sells them on his home page.

I wonder if the forrest back then wasnt more like evergreen, spruce and such!?
