"Seaweed" [algaes and kelps], of course, has been called one of nature's almost perfect foods. Clean water, check. How was the weather and did she construct a shelter?
Edit: The article says she was found at a fire.
After I posted the first link I found
another link that had more details but no info on shelter nor weather.
She survived six days on one granola bar, a banana, water from a stream, and a fire she lit with a disposable lighter. Officials describe the area as extremely isolated, with nothing but steep cliffs, surf-pounded beaches and thick rainforest right to the waterline.
Then at 2:15 a.m. PT Sunday, a commercial fishing boat dropped anchor in Tian Bay, said Olsen.
"The fishing vessel reported what he thought was a flare," he said.
But it wasn't a flare.
"She had made a fire on the beach and was throwing embers and such so she would be spotted."
