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

Yeah, BS, unless he brought a net to capture fish with, or snare traps for rabbits, and materials to clean, prep, and cook these things with.

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.

And things wear out, and they break. Starts getting harder and harder, no matter how skilled you are.
