How long did the mountain lion meat last for?
It wasn't explained what was keeping them going for all that time (until they found the soup). What did the dog eat for all that time?
shareThe meat would last a few days. She stated that you could not live without food for 3 weeks, water for 3 days and air for 3 minutes. Since you can climb Mt. Everest in approx. 5 days , I'm guessing after watching that disaster movie, they should be able to descend the mountain in 3 days. They can burn fat for energy and eat snow for water.
They were motivated to keep going because of the alternative, if they didn't keep going they would have died of exposure.
What a mountain lion was doing at that altitude is beyond me, there are no prey animals there, a bit of a stretch.
The dog would live off it's fat stores also and 5 days without food would not be a problem. He acted his part well and was enjoying the outing.
