As far as being weak after a few days; I dont think that the majority of us would be too weak to self-rescue after only a couple of days. True, after a week or so, possible, but, 2 days...not so sure on. I know I have enough fat on me to live two WEEKS comfortably! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Granted, she had run out of food two weeks into her ordeal, and was weak. I, for one, still dont place a whole lotta emphasis on hunting/trapping. But, thats me. In MA, its easier to fish than hunt. And, takes no energy at all. Still, if I were caught out that long, I think I would have been prepared enough for part of it, which, she was.
