They had a great time and pictures will be posted soon. The locals have said summer is approximately 5 weeks behind a typical year. Also due to the snow and ice, there was a lack of small game and difficult fishing, resulting in a collective weight loss of about 85 lbs. over 3 weeks. They all have said they would do it again! The four men departed into the wilderness July 11, 2011, to spend about 30 days in the mountains "living off of the land". They have guns, fishing poles, tents and sleeping bags, but very little food. They intend to hunt and fish for all of their meals.
