How do you manage to starve in a heated school bus literally on a trail, a few hours walk from a tourist lodge in the direction you came from?

By being a fucking moron. He was out of food and weak, and by the time a thought sparked in his brain, the small stream he crossed on his way there was a big river, because of snow melt.

Anyone on a trail would know that, because they're not fucking morons. Except for dumb entitled Chris who thought nature would just provide and that solo survival would be easy.

Men will do literally anything except get therapy

Lean meats. He was mostly eating rabbits and other small game, this is problematic since they aren't particularly nutritional by themselves. He did take down a caribou with a .22 which is impressive, but he didn't know how to cure the meat so most of it rotted away.

The term for this is protein poisoning or protein toxicity. Less formally, rabbit starvation.

Thanks couldn't remember the proper term and didn't want to use the term full starvation since I think that's a bit too vague and dialect specific.

He also ate plants he didn't know, which were poisonous and shut down his digestive tract.
But that was all after he made his fatal mistake, which was staying put when his actual food ran out instead of just walking back.

I thought he was already starving by the time he ate the plants out desperation. Regardless his whole situation was of his own making, especially since I've met a few guys who basically did the same thing around that time and didn't starve to death in a random spot in Alaska.
