Some would wander along behind you for awhile, until their attention was
caught by a butterfly or something along those lines, then they would be
quickly lost before you realized it. Also, they would tire quickly, and
would have a hard time keeping up.
Alone in the woods, I give the average ferret 4-5 days, if it weren't eaten
or maimed by another animal. In 4-5 days they would not be able to forage
for enough food, their livers would fail, they would get ulcers, and start
bleeding out. A very horrid death. Of course there are many equally horrid
circumstances by which they could die.
If you want a pet to follow you around in the woods, get a dog. Or get a
ferret and leave him at home in the hands of a competant ferret sitter when
you travel.
