A man is camping with his wife in Colorado. After the first couple of days in the mountains, they realize they are out of food (not water) and our too deep in the forest to go back to their car. They both sincerely want to continue on the journey so they assume that with the man's weapons they might find some animal to kill and then they would cook it, then eat it. After one whole day of searching for food they cannot find anything to eat. They decide to go back to their car and along the journey they collect small plants and sterilize them with the water they have left in their satchel so they can have at least minimal food. They were able to survive because of their willing to eat uncommon organisms and their courage to travel back to their car with not a lot of food in their bellies.
