it comes to rationing food, you may find that the other members of your
group have vastly different opinions about the proper proportions.
Another benefit of being in a group is that you may find it easier to
eat things you might otherwise consider disgusting. If you’re hungry and
see your buddy eating maggots, for example, you just might do it too.
And with more people in your group, there’s a greater chance that
at least one of them is a proficient hunter or angler, which could radically
change the food landscape for everyone.
On the downside, there can be endless discussions about favorite
foods and what you miss the most (as you feast on a slug or two). These
conversations can lead to a couple of hours of euphoria but are inevitably
followed by depression as the reality of your situation becomes clearer.
