Lately, GLP has been abuzz with survival topics. The instinct and mindset that it takes to survive doesn't always get the proper amount of attention that I feel it deserves. This is a great example of that survival instinct saving a life. I'm glad she was rescued and is safe. Its amazing how determination and the will to survive kicks in. |

She had to be suffering a lot of pain from her broken leg and no food nor anyone to help her but she kept herself alive for three days, and I think she probably could have survived much longer in that gruelling situation on her own. Thank God she didn't need to. |

Excuse me, but I'd eat berries and water for at least a MONTH with no rescue, before i'd even CONSIDER eating insects. |

She and her boyfriend got into a fight, dropped thier backpacks at the lake and she walked off to find a better camping spot. So did he. After about an hour, he came back. Waited. Waited. Then he set up camp and waited. He ate dinner. Waited. After 24 hours he finally figured out he needed to find her. He circled the lake 6 times. He couldn't find her. He went for help. She had fallen down a ravine, broken her leg. Survived by eating bugs and drinking water. She started all of this by stomping off in anger. Think of everything that could have been prevented if she had just stopped for a minute. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1494518Dude, when women are mad, it makes reasoning with trolls on here look easy. |
