Eating Human.....

[J.Wade]

At what point in a absolute survival situation would have to be to think about eating your buddies,....

I only ask becasue I recently to to work on medical cadavers(sp). I took away so much about the human body that day, but one side effect of getting to learn so much is that now when I see a quick fry steak I think of the serratus anterior, I haven't been eating meat for a while anyway but now it almost make me sick to think of eating human, but if it meant I could see my kids again...


(I just really wanted to post a Eating human post....sorry guys....)


just having fun..

Those kids on that soccar team that crashed in the Peruvian Andes pulled it off. So did the Donner party I think.

I've seen quite a few dead bodies up close and been to the Bodies Exhibit several times. I can honestly say that the time wouldn't come for me to eat a friend... until they died and I was starving. I really don't think I would have that much trouble with it if it was a choice between not having food and energy and eating a homeboy. I have a very strong will and can force myself to do a lot of things to keep going.

When I walked through the Bodies Exhibit with my friend Joel, we seriously started figuring out which would be the best cuts of meat. We were joking around, mostly to freak out the moms that were standing near us, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't take some mental notes away from that.

This is one of those things I really couldn't say I'd do until the situation arose.

I'm disgusted at the thought of it,but starvation is starvation.

This thread reminds me of Quest For Fire. The part where the girl was hanging from a tree with one of her limbs hacked off for eating .

It depends on whom I'm traveling with. If I were with my wife and kid, I'd rather they eat me. Some people though, I'd consider roasting up if I were feeling slightly peckish.

Serious answer; I'd probably rather blow my brains out and get it over with.

I will definitely say that if it's my wife, no way I'm eating her. Of course, if she died, I'd rather not sruvive anyway. I wouldn't be able to commit suicide by eating a bullet or anything due to my religious beliefs, but I couldn't eat her. I can barely live without her when she goes out of town. That would be the line for me, eating my wife or one of my own children. Everyone else is fair game though.

looks like the left arm is choice among the cannibal tribe.

Argentinian andes, and they were rugby players. They all wound up eating human, even the direly religious ones. I have done alot of nasty stuff to stay alive, I think eating human (deceased, not killed for food...) that is preserved in glacial ice wouldn't be half as bad as eating week old possum roadkill.

I'd have to have been without noodles and jerky for at least a week before I'd eat my buddies !!!!



I have heard we taste like pork....not chicken for once !!!!!!!!!

story goes that starving Imperial Japanese Troops in the pacific turn to cannibalism during the last great war.

Don't go hiking with me. I don't even wait to become desperate.

I watched a show once that said by the time most people are willing to eat each other the human meat doesn't hold much for nutrition. So I guess when the tire blows on the car or when you wrench your ankle eat your friend lol.
On a serious note I don't think I could eat someone that I know.

I've thought about that before. I live in a densely populated part of southern California. If/when the world goes to Hell in a handbasket the roads are going to be jammed like you wouldn't believe. There will be no escape. I'm going to have to figure out to cook a person without alerting the people next to me. I wouldn't want to share my meat, or have an angry mob at my doors because I'm eating people. There just aren't enough gorcery stores (and they'll be looted in a couple of days), and there wouldn't be any hunting except pigeons, rats, cats, dogs, possums. And even that wouldn't last long. That leaves the two leggeds. Might have to get a crossbow for qiet hunting. A gunshot might bring unwanted attention.

(Note to self)

Do NOT accept invitation for wilderness skills hike from J. Wade, Dylside, Talfuchre or Silverfoxknows!

Hmmm.....this is one of those things that would be the spur of the moment for me. Of course close family would be out, I'd rather kick the bucket than eat a relative/spouse. Now if it was a complete stranger, that would be a whole different ball field

Everyone should read Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

It's going to be a movie this fall, but read the book first.

It's a world where nearly every living thing has died - all the plants and all the animals. what few humans remain are left to find food at all costs - and many of those humans have taken to hunting each other. In this world, one man tries to save his young son and teach him right from wrong.

Powerful stuff.
