Here's a real survival "FAIL" in the makings....
Missing hiker found after being lost for almost a month in the Gila National Forest.
Oh, and she brought her cat with her too!!
The rescue team found her in her sleeping bag with her cat by her side. She was malnourished and emaciated but well hydrated.
Apparently she brought more food for the cat than for herself, depending on how long her trip was intended to take.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this story was "I wonder what cat taste like?"
This woman was pretty much willing to starve to death but still kept feeding her cat.
Here's 2 things to consider that make me question whether I'd let this woman go anywhere by herself anymore:
1) Surely she was starving, so why wasn't she eating the catfood?
2) Unless the cat has been declawed (cruelty to cats), the cat could have easily fended for itself and fed on rodents, small birds or insects.
I hope she learnt a valuable lesson, and the cat stays home next time!!!!!
