I’m not sure whether you will be able to consistently walk for the whole week if you don’t eat anything

Generally, if this method doesn’t lead you to another human within a day, you’re already in really deep shit.

So by that point it’s walk or die. The hunger will subside after a day and your reptile brain will release loads of dopamine and adrenaline to keep you going.

You won’t find anything in the woods that’s quick to acquire without tools, nourishing, and easy to identify as safe to eat. Except maybe berries (if you know them).

Yeah after three days you start to get pretty out of it, and weak.

I start to get weak and fussy if it’s 12:30 pm and I haven’t had lunch. Assuming I get lost in the woods after breakfast that means I have a good 3-4 hours to find a settlement before I drop dead of being a little bitch.

I’ve done intermittent fasting and found that this is just your body producing hormones telling you its time to eat. These hormones are pretty good at keeping schedules for you. Once you start fasting, you do get jittery and cranky during this time but it goes away rather quickly. After a few days the hormone levels start changing and within a week or two you stop feeling hungry at that time. It’s really weird to teach your body that you don’t need to eat at your usual times. And learning that feeling hungry isn’t the worst thing in the world (if your living conditions are such that you’re not worried about your next meal) is actually very freeing.

Yup, same here. Exactly why I doubted one could walk for a whole week with no food
