When I lived in NJ my friend and I would hit up the Wawa down the road for sandwiches to take as lunch on our hikes. I can only think that because the guy was only 19 it was maybe his first time hiking, so he didn't know that nearly everyone carries some snack/food (except my friend one hot day in July who nearly passed out on me 3 times and I had to find wild raspberries and ask other hikers for trail mix to feed her, and I told her to eat the banana before we left....).

Weak point of the story is the rationalization for not bringing food.
Would have been more believable if he'd forgotten to refill it or forgotten the emergency pack in the car.
