“They also failed.”

Well, not all of them. 45 of them survived, mostly children. So they did better than this group.

Not all of them. Some survived on shank steaks and ham

Kinda like Alferd Packer survived in Colorado

That story was retold in the classic film 'Cannibal, the Musical!' A revisionist retelling set to some great old songs! It's a favorite at Michigan deer camp, eh. cannibal! the musical 03 – The Holy Shrine
