Rescuers had originally called off the search after the first few days when they found no trace of him, but decided to resume searching late on Thursday and found him the following morning.

oh that's comforting

"I'd have a little handful of berries, a couple of those leaves — which
tasted good — and water, and that was what I kept going on," he said.

Which leaves?

I think he was picking shrooms not berries.

Gathering hen-of-the-woods?

maybe he could just sue the search and rescue for giving up on him and then they could charge him for the search and then all will break even

 

[Spade]

Ahhh, the Canadian compromise!

Nobody is ever really lost. They are always right where they are. But, we can lose our minds, get lost in religion or in politics. Bodies are never lost.
