Probably a good idea to keep some back up supplies separate from main structure for situations like this man was confronted with.

apparently you don't even have to freeze dry it: McDonald's responds to 20-year-old burger, says it's 'by no means the same as the day it was purchased'

He certainly was totally not prepared for where he was staying. He got lucky and I hope learned something from this.

I notice the out house remained intact.

He had time to grab some supplies, but not save his dog.

I thought that was weird too.

It's what's for dinner!

Very sad about the dog, very sad!
I do, however, envy the guy for living out like that and he is only 30 years old. How I long to live like that!!!

Freedom!

Not funny! I would bury my dog, not eat it. He can eat me though, when I am dead.

Light'n up Francis!

"I would bury my dog, not eat it. He can eat me though, when I am dead."
And that's just plain weird right there!

I'm sorry for the dog. Though it makes one wonder why a dog, that can usually out run a man, can't get out of a one room cabin faster than the man... Does it not?

Poor fido, served him well to the end.

I guess this was for me, lol.
Sure, a dumb dog is not good for much, if he was.
I am just more sympathetic towards animals than humans.

The dog was good for something.

The guy couldn't just Stew around about his cabin burning to ground, it was Chili outside.

 

[The Heretic]

Unprepared and unsuited for living in the wilderness

 

[quneur]

Imagine his surprised when he opened up the cupboards and saw shelves full of...pineapple!

 

[terdog]

HOT DOG!

 

[Alexx1401]

A lot about this story do not add up well. The pineapple was another. If he is allergic to it then why was it there? The dog? He would have had to have left the dog locked inside while he was out there shoveling snow onto the roof. Which caught on fire while everything has a foot of fresh snow, from cardboard sparks? Unless this story was super poorly written there is a lot more he is not telling the whole story on here.

He didn't exactly come across as a card carrying Rocket Surgeon.
