Gene Penaflor lasted 19 days in the mountains of California after being separated from his partner on their hunting trip. He survived on frogs, squirrels, and lizards! He was too tired to hunt big game! The weather was not ideal for being outside having several snow storms and temperatures dropping below 25 degrees! He used garbage bags to keep warm. I think this is remarkable I could never last in those conditions and come out just fine! Do you think you could stay in the woods without any resources for that long?

Well done Bri!
That is outstanding to me! I could never last in those conditions. I hate nature! I could never eat frogs, squirrels, or lizards! That grosses me out! No way would I eat that! For this man doing this at age 72 is awesome! With those conditions he was living in, he is very lucky to be alive and living healthy today!
Yeah I don't think I could eat a frog or a lizard! Yuck!
It, would be interesting to see how many people in the school could do this, but i highly doubt i would. I'm nearly sane as is. the cut off of the world would be nice, but there would be to many things to miss.
Yes, and it would take a lot of faith to continue to think someone was coming for you.
I would never be able to do that. I hate nature and i could never ever eat what he did in my life! With his age and those conditions he was living in he is very lucky to be healthy today!
I love nature but I still couldn't do it!
I could but not with those weather conditions. Their is a possibility thought if it was nice weather and food want to hard to find. It is remarkable that he could stay out their and live for that long.
Wow. This is amazing. I don't think I could have done that. This man must have really wanted to survive! I'm glad he was able to.
Me too! I don't understand how he made it that long without giving up or thinking that no one would find him.
