I admire saying gently caress it and going out to live on your own but jesus gently caress christ do some research beforehand don't literally just have a rage fit and go into the woods knowing nothing with 0 preparation you maroon.

Ice Blue Mink posted:What specifically should he have researched? He should at least know the most common stuff that is FOR SURE safe to eat around the area because 1) he isn't the only person to ever go wilderness exploring where he was I'm sure and 2) ok people didn't realize those potato seeds or whatever were toxic but hey that's why you don't eat poo poo until you're 100% sure. There's a reason all the mushroom gathering guides have "DO NOT THINK YOU CAN IDENTIFY WHAT IS SAFE TO EAT AND WHAT IS NOT JUST BASED ON THIS BOOK" in giant block letters at the beginning. He should have hired a guide or something to at least get him oriented to what the flora and fauna in the area is.

Yeah well you shouldn't eat raw food if you can at all help it that's definitely somewhere on the list of "poo poo you should know in the wilderness." Even if those seeds weren't toxic that's a great way to pick up some strange and exciting disease.

Oscar Wild posted:Nature doesn't give a gently caress and needs to be respected. Humans have become so ensconced in easy comfort that we no longer fear or respect nature. It's why we get a couple of deaths every year from hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail. Even the pros can get their poo poo pushed in if they are arrogant, see the other Krakauer Into Thin Air. Dude I get amazed at the amount of idiots that will go up to wild rear end animals like they are a pet doggie. like holy poo poo I'm not some outdoors person at all but even I know not to go try and pet something that can kill me

quote:what he did wasn't the smartest thing in the world, but i don't think he's immediately condemnable. I don't think he's condemnable, I just think he did a really foolish thing and I pity his family (I'd say I pity him but he's dead) but I feel like it's natural to also find morbid humor in the situation. It's like when someone hurts themselves and you laugh.

Adar posted:the book was essentially made up on the spot because the crazy man's journal it's based on averaged three words per day of writing that was tainted by the onset of paranoid schizophrenia and/or eating fly agaric to get his buzz on So that's Denali National Park? In winter?  ... I didn't read the book but uh did this dude have a death wish or what? 'Cuz there are easier ways to kill yourself.

cool new Polack jokes posted:I'm saying if you're privileged enough to be able bodied and able minded (you are not mentally disabled like some people, you are mentally ill like literally everybody else) then you should take this amazing piece of luck and loving run with it instead of imploding like someone who DOESN'T have built in support structures they've completely taken for granted or supportive people they've alienated themselves from by being a jagoff. You are wasted potential and nobody should feel sorry for your waste of a brain and body when there are millions of people who would trade places with you to be a brokebrained idiot in the richest land that has ever been known this post makes you look really fuckin moronic in light of the one like 4-5 posts above yours that talks about how this dude and his sisters were hella abused as kids good job gently caress nut hahahaha

VendaGoat posted:Rabbit starvation See that's some poo poo I would not have known about and probably would have hosed up on if I didn't learn about wilderness stuff first quote:Rabbit eaters, if they have no fat from another source—beaver, moose, fish—will develop diarrhea in about a week, with headache, lassitude and vague discomfort. If there are enough rabbits, the people eat till their stomachs are distended; but no matter how much they eat they feel unsatisfied. drat lol
