"Seven weeks after striding out into the rugged forests of western Canada armed with a rifle and a fishing rod, Mr Wardle had to be airlifted back to civilisation suffering from starvation." -Mail Online

The Story

I'm baffled at how anyone can try this with little or no training and expect a different outcome. All anyone has to do is watch a couple episodes of Survivorman to see Les Stroud starve for a week. From watching it should be easy to see that even someone with training has a hard time surviving alone in a number of environments.

Even so, perhaps something can be learned from this.
