In most inhospitable places there are numerous types of plants!. Knowing which are edible or inedible would allow me to survive!.
I would extract liquid from cactis and other plants!. Water is more important than food!. People can survive for longer on it!. Even if I ate the little animal and tried to get help I would probably become dehydrated from a lack of water quickly!. I would find a huge cactus (that is edible) and share the liquid with my friends!. I would sleep in a shaded spot under a rock and wait until night for it to cool before trying to get out of this place!. I am assuming that you are talking about a sandy desert like place but I understand that a desert can be any place that is inhospitable including ice frozen land!. The image of a sandy desert seems to pop up automatically in my mind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
God knows more deep down our every hearts!. we can proved to god that we love him if we can love others too!. well i do believed that no matter how small it was if you ask and pray to God before you will all eat it, God will really blessed it!. well for me, death is a certain thing for all of us and for the real christian believers, death is a gain!. all things will work for good according to His purposed!. if ever i am with that situations, i will still give to all others the food and ask, pray and thanks to God what ever it will be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I would share it!. Yes, my chances decrease for staying alive, but if each person has an increased chance to make it out alive then that is a higher probability that someone would be able to get help!. If only I ate it then there is only one chance for me to save the lives of others and myself!. But if we all ate, then we all could travel that distance together and support one another in our goal for safety!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
You have to add, you could never get back and save any of them!. Then the answer is simple!. Share the animal and eat the friends!. They'll taste better with a little meat on their bones!.
You'd probably only have to eat one of them to save the rest!. How can that be a dodgy proposition!? X number of lives vs!. one bony fella!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The group and myself find ourselves there and a source of nourishment is found there!. So we share and let the course of events take it up from there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
