Another survival story - we awoke one morning, cold, hungry, miserable, to see a DEER creeping through camp. A guy slowly sat up and reached for a hatchet... he slowly rose to his feet and was moments from throwing the hatchet, when the deer took off. Six young men silently cried. We all had images of this thing, gutted and skinned, spinning on a rotisserie stick above a big fire, and we'd gorge on meat.
We'd also chase after wild turkeys, which were fiendishly fast. They could run faster than a man, and fly when they needed to. We never did catch one. The food craving is hard to describe. It is overwhelming. After two days, you don't so much as "feel hungry" as you simply feel like crap, and cannot think of anything else.
After training, most had lost 10 kilos in one week, and our stomachs were shrunk. Most couldn't avoid stuffing themselves with pizza and ice cream, and the result, 90% of the time, was massive vomiting because the stomach could not deal with such rich food in that situation.

Believe me, when you are hungry enough, the rabbit looks delicious, not cute.
