Reading a survival book by Lofty Lang this man was a Commando in the SAS Special Air Service for 25 years. In Borneo on a long range patrol a monsoon swamped their local environment and removed all local food sources as all their supplies were washed away.
Five days of eating local white snails; luckily the torrential rains kept hostile forces from ever trying to find them, five days later the helicopters could come evacuate them. . .
What a way to make a living : )
