33 days in wild and still alive - that impressive.
Anyone who has tried to be alone in wild for any extended period of time will understand..

Unfortunately, story describing bunch of emotions but no details what actually happened to the guy [emoji4][emoji4]
Wouldn't be surprised if a book will follow hehe..

Well I heard the other day that there’s three sides to every story. I guess one of those sides is the truth. I’d look to a person that has a history of telling the truth. Not the News.

Maybe not the best written story, but his survival and searchers involvement is certainly something positive and something to be celebrated. I am really happy for him and his family he survived the ordeal.

It must have been a tough go for the lad with the bugs, weather and no food.

Thanks for sharing.

Very little context to the story. IMO, it’s strange how an adult can get lost in an area that is familiar to him. I suspect that there are factors that contributed to the situation.

Living off the land without tools, fire, and shelter is very difficult. The fellow is lucky to have survived such a long ordeal . Eating a rabbit might fill your belly, but you won’t get any energy from doing so. Hint, if you want to lose weight, eat wild rabbits (hare) and vegetables - no carbs.

I’m happy that the guy survived and hope that he is better from the experience.

Not exactly. You won’t get any fat or very little from rabbit meat but lots of protein and lots of energy. Nothing wrong with eating rabbit but in the long term you can die from the lack of fat if that’s all you eat. But if you’re starving a rabbit would be a welcome addition to what ever else you can find

Well, to be honest, I asked because, in my opinion, this story is BS at least in a big part if not entirely.
I’m not sure if there are any blueberries in QB at this time of year at this latitude. But I’m certain there are no rabbits whatsoever and if they call rabbits instead of hares I do believe that catching a hare with bare hands is quite an impossible task especially for the guy who was lost in the familiar area.
Then if you take an effort and search a little, you could find that Lac Simon is quite a small lake, about 1 km across, with a relatively large settlement on the shore. Yes, the opposite bank seems to be isolated by rivers following in and out without any bridges (there are few rapids on one stream which seem to be passable) but you have to try very hard to be lost for 30 days within a few km from settlement and roads around. The area is not really remote as it is pretended in the article.
BS.

I believe this isn't so much a guy lost in the woods story as maybe more of someone not wanting to be found for one reason or another.
In any case kudos on the people who searched for this lost sheep and in the end found their way home.
