Survival Skills

Althouse on the 72-year-old deer hunter who got lost and survived 19 days on lizards and squirrels.

Best comment by Althouse readers: "Good practice for him for when Social Security and Medicare collapse."

  1. I read this, and my first thought, was 'where's the story?' Old hunter, rifle in hand, survives on game he's killed.

    Back where I come from, we call that a hunting trip. Especially the squirrel part. I have uncles older than that who still hunt and fish and sometimes get cold and wet doing it.

  2. Larry,

    Being lost for 19 days has not resembled my usual hunting trip where the most perilous part was how to get around all of this cactus.

    Good point on the age part. 72 is not that old.

    And it's looking younger every day.
