A British survival enthusiast attempting to live off the land for a full year was recently found dead in Scotland. He lasted perhaps a few weeks in the wild. I wouldn't mind trying a night out or a weekend with a minimal kit but why did this guy think that he could do a full year in the wilderness. Heck, even Bear stays overnight in hotels when he is doing his survival shows! By the look of the picture, it doesn't appear that there is much shelter and few trees in the area he was "surviving".

A man found dead in a remote mountain hut was an adventurer who had planned a year-long Bear Grylls-style survival challenge in the Scottish wilderness. David Austin, 29, from Derby, was found dead in a 'bothy' by a track worker near Corrour, a remote railway station in Highland Perthshire, on December 31 at 9.50am. His body is believed to have been lying there for several weeks when it was discovered.
