but I do know that you are NEVER under any circumstances to EAT their LIVER.. it is so highly concentrated in B-Vitamins that it will Kill you..

Like I'm ever going to have a chance to eat a Polar bear Liver :)

I learned that while crashed on the other side of the Brooks Range in Alaska, it took them three days to find us and they Knew where were were!

Chopper broke a fuel line and we went done on auto rotate and on fire.. I ran for a few miles then realized that if the chopper went up I'd be all alone in the tundra with two burnt corpses, my pals, and that's FOOD. So I ran back and actually RIPPED some of the tin panels of the chopper OFF with my Bare Hands trying to get at the fire..

then we sat around for three days reading the same magazines and survival books hoping we didn't see a brown blob on the horizon, and in the tundra you can see one for a LONG way, you KNOW you're going to die.. we had a stupid survival rifle, a .22, which pissed me off - "What am I going to Kill with this? An Enraged DUCK?"

It's customary in Alaska to save the last round for yourself, if the bear doesn't drop, and you can shoot them and they'll STILL kill you not knowing they're DEAD already (like a bounce I knew once), so instead of listening to their teeth dragging across the bones of your skull you can kill yourself.

Rough up there, some miners have crawled to town eating their toes, black from frostbite to make it there alive.
