Brian Laundrie ‘well versed’ in surviving in the wild
NY Post ^ | September 23, 2021 | By Gabrielle Fonrouge and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

Brian Laundrie, who is being hunted in connection to girlfriend Gabby Petito’s death, is “well versed” in surviving long periods of time in the wild, a former co-worker told The Post.

Laundrie, 23, identified as a person of interest in Petito’s death during the couple’s cross-country trip, disappeared last week and is the subject of a massive manhunt at a 25,000-acre reserve near his Florida home.

But Laundrie could prove hard to find — he once bragged to co-workers that he survived on just crackers for six weeks while camping, the co-worker said.

“In conversation about hiking … Brian talked about the longest time that he spent in the woods was 6 weeks and bragged about only having a large pack of either cheese or peanut butter crackers to sustain him for that time,” the source told The Post in a text.

“He is well versed in spending a long time in the woods and living off nearly nothing,” they said.

You promised more for the next Gabby thread, instead we got a repeat.

Eric Randolph was no Rambo Jeremiah Johnson. He got busted dumpster diving by a rookie cop.

Not that hard to live off of cheese and peanut butter crackers for six weeks, if you have access to water.

Six weeks is 42 days.

Need 1500 calories a day for comfort, and may scrounge some more calories from the environment.

About 11 ounces per day, at most. 11x42 = 462 ounces, or 29 lbs, at most.

Might get tired of peanut butter and crackers, but not so much if you are actually hungry.

More peanut butter and less cracker would bring the weight down a bit.

Hiding in the woods in not a good long-term strategy.

Much easier to hide in an urban area.

“You promised more for the next Gabby thread, instead we got a repeat.”

When I get the urge to scribe the “more”, you’ll see more. As I just wrote my last post, I’m putting it on other Gabby/Brian threads for those who may not have seen it.

When you get the urge to nitpick again, please do it elsewhere.

Not necessarily. I believe his parents have helped him since he arrived back home without Gabby.

Furthermore, I believe after he explained how he murdered her and then left her body exposed to the elements and animals, they lawyered up and shut up hoping nature would dispose of her body before found. In the meantime, while the authorities were watching their son under a microscope, the parents were allowed to come and go as they pleased which allowed them to set up his escape and hideout(s).

That’s how I see it. His parents are accessories after the fact as well as guilty of aiding and abetting a fugitive. Somebody put the thumb screws to his attorney while we’re at it.

They’re not unique to TN, they are native almost everywhere in North America. There’s even a specific subspecies native to Florida, the Florida black bear:

Brian was so self-reliant that Gabby’s father had to order food for his daughter and Brian on occasion during their trip.

He’s in Mexico. His survival skills will come in handy.

I know a fellow who trains our military and others survival techniques etc. in all possible circumstances. It's possible to remain hidden indefinitely with those skills. Don't know how much Laundrie knows but he could certainly go for years if needed...... However he could also be hiding in plain sight.

I have told people that I am OCE-P. They say, “OH! Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!” I say, “No, Obsessive Compulsive Enhanced Perfectionist.”. I simply do not know nor understand how other people can live without Obsessive Compulsive Perfectionism tendencies.

The dumb-founded looks on people’s faces when I tell them that makes me laugh. ;-)
