Don’t Starve Your Retirement!

Not too long ago, one of my teammates and I talked about watching Alone, a series that follows ten experienced contestants as they attempt to outlast each other in a wilderness environment, foraging, hunting, fishing, building shelters, and relying on their survival skills. Each participant has to film themselves, and whoever is able to last the longest wins prize money.

I remembered a season set in Patagonia and a contestant who was an excellent hunter, gatherer, and food collector. After fishing successfully, he smoked his catch and started stockpiling stores. He was building up his resources to spend 60, maybe 70 days or more in the wilderness on his own.
