There's a recent survival TV show which had 10 people attempt to live off the land for 100 days in the Canadian far north in the fall and early winter (daytime temps started at 20C and went down to -20C during that time, nights were even colder). A few of the people found squirrels' mushroom stashes and ate them. Several people caught squirrels and ate them as well, but one got very sick and had to be evacuated early.
It was also interesting to see the extent humans would go through to stash the food they had hunted or caught -- for instance, elevated platforms in the trees -- and the determination of animals such as bears, wolverines, and foxes to raid the stashes.

I think I read a couple months ago bout an old lady who got dragged out of her tent by a bear and killed because of improperly secured food[1] [1] https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57763443 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57763443
