Could you actually eat your leather boots if you were trapped in some cabin for weeks?

Nah bto fasting is healthy. Pine needle tea and meditation is all you need.

But what am I retarded? Did I not buy enough lard and flour at the general store back in Dodge city?

Depends on what it's treated with. I suppose boiling will remove most of the bad stuff while softening it. But I would rather be booted and looking for food that bootless with a stomach full of leather that may or may not clog my pipes.

Gotta save your boots and make sure you don't get trench foot, plus you can trade those boots if in a pinch.
FM 21-76, I don't claim to be in the army but these manuals are damn good to memorize on long flights and such.

Always try to remember to take your boots or shoes off at night when at sleep even if you have to sleep on them to prevent scumbags from trying to steal them.

Yes

> Diets soon consisted of oxhide, strips of which were boiled to make a "disagreeable" glue-like jelly. Ox and horse bones were boiled repeatedly to make soup, and they became so brittle that they would crumble upon chewing. Sometimes they were softened by being charred and eaten. Bit by bit, the Murphy children picked apart the oxhide rug that lay in front of their fireplace, roasted it in the fire, and ate it.
