Crazy Biko, seems to be hanging in there!!!
I was supprized to learn that he intentionally put on weight before going in... (he was up to 300#)
I think that was a smart move, like a bear building up fat for winter...
One thing I think more should do, is eat as much as you can, when you have it. With Native Americans, it was usually feast or famine. When a hunting party was successful, everyone ate!!! When times were lean, they ate what they could. (Elm bark) Trying to store food in bear country seems to be a big risk for loss. Maybe better to eat it than loose it? Stay well nourished for as long as you can.... After all, it's an endurance game.
