her adrenaline and will to survive helped save her.
She survived in an Oregon forest for days on berries, a caterpillar and a slug. What fortitude!
Tough chick. Glad the story had a happy ending.
And buy a whistle.
Sounds like she kept her wits about her, and persevered.
Why was it so hard to find her? She fell down a cliff and couldn’t walk, why did it take four days to find her?
Good for her. Glad she’s alive.
That being said, three days will make you really hungry but not really endangered. Hypothermia and dehydration are far greater concerns.
Caterpillars are toxic. Do NOT eat Caterpillars!
Remember the rule of 3s.
You can survive:
3 minutes without air
3 days without water
and
3 weeks without food.
