If you were trapped in the wilderness could you survive?

If you were trapped in the wilderness could you survive?

no

Probably fucking not, I suck lol.

Yeah, I could. Years of majority of my time spent in the woods of Maine. Learned alot, done alot. Trapped, hunted, primitive camping in shelters I've built myself, foraging food off the land and game.

Depends where. I don't have much cold weather skills memorized but I do have a few, so I'd probably survive longer than others with no experience.

If the location is SE Texas, then yes; probably for a really long time in an area/environment I know.

Honestly, I know a bit of bushcrafting, I could built a solid shelter. I also prefer isolation so the lack of people to deal with would probably suit me well enough. I'd probably build a small house and a forge and start looking for rocks that might contain iron ore. I am however very inexperienced with hunting and gathering. I can see that being a significant problem, though I am an experienced fisherman and quite enjoy fishing.

Overall, I really don't know. If I had enough food stores for a couple months I could probably swing it.

Probably hang myself at the nearest tree branch, unless I have some kind of waifu.

i'd probably die taking the risk to get back to electricity and porn.

depends, does the wilderness have wifi?

No. I watched that movie "Into The Wild" and the guy died from eating fucking berries. Im pretty sure i'd die.

Yes...

of course I could, I've seen enough Bear Grylls to survive for centuries, all I have to do is drink my own piss and eat random bugs

ya'll gotta carry a firesteel, knife, metal waterbottle , and small emerge blanket, bonus points if you have 50 ft of fishing line or para chord.

you have to have a somewhat steady diet of meat other then rabbit. If u have the knowledge y'all can set some traps for other small game ie: weasles martin, snakes. Essentially high fat meats. Fish and snakes are an excellent source for a fatty meat definatly dont skimp on rabbit. Pine needle tea is pretty enjoyable for a hot drink as well

Bump

You mean I'm roaming free in the wilderness and then step into a trap of some sort?

Probably not. It would depend on the type of trap.

I basically live in the wilderness as it is. My house is more of a large tent.

What's that mean?

As long as you can survive on willpower I would survive

I mean that I own a small piece of land with no house on it surrounded by woods. I have solar panels (and battery banks obv), a distiller, and a 4 room tent. I build android games for the app store for money. I never have to work, but the pay is extremely inconsistent, so I live as a minimalist.

your house sounds faggy, faggot

Ever design one that makes you not a faggot?

Jesus, what a fucking faggot

A true minimalist fag.

You are an amazing person, all the negative replies are from this lame bully thread

Sounds like a really shitty way to live, you should stop being such a faggot

You're getting slower. You'll never stop our holy crusade, so just give up, join us. Help us retake these unholy lands.

You sound like you like being surrounded by wood you fucking faggot. KYS

Kudos user. I've always felt it was insane to wake up early every morning and get home exhausted just to repeat. Crazy people. I'm a big fan of relaxing.

You guys make me feel popular. I don't like it. I'm honored to have won your attention though.

aren't the woods full of ticks?

Yeah, I get ticks when I go adventuring or to take a shit. I often go to the gas station 10 minutes away to shit though. I spend an unhealthy amount of time in my tent.

I could survive in a summer climate easily. I'm smart and have basic survival skills. However, I live in Canada and fuck no. I'd freeze

Real question.

Why can't you just eat twigs and mud and shit. Like there has to be some nutritional value to it. Vegans can live off of vegetables. Why couldn't you survive off of grass and leaves and twigs etc.

Are you retarded? Because those things have no nutritional value.

None at all? Like what makes a leaf from a head of lettuce different from the leaf of a tree? Or grass for that matter. There has to be some. It's a living organism, no?

You couldn't survive on lettuce either.

Because protein is essential to muscular maintenance. twigs don't contain calcium, potassium, or protein. The only plant based sources I know of that contain protein are quinoa and nuts. Not to mention, you will get scurvy if you aren't able to absorb some vitamin C from a fruit. Your body would rapidly cannibalise the fat contained in it, making it very difficult for you heal wounds. Vitamin A and D are important for you maintain pigment and fight off depression. Also, mud contains parasites.

grass is poisonous to humans, shit however still has some nutritional value and can be eaten like the rabbits do

In short you would literally die a gruesome death.

It seems like you know what you're talking about. I literally have no idea how any of that works. I understand basic rules but have no idea why. Like I'm straight up retarded and would die instantly if I was in the wild. How can I learn about nutrition?

I know about nutrition but I'd still have a hard time in the wild since I have no survivalist experience but you're just straight up foolish for believing you could live on twigs and mud.

I know that it's not wise to eat twigs and mud. That's why I don't do it. But I know this because someone told me not to and I assume it doesn't taste good. What I was asking is why. I don't understand human biology and didn't pay much attention in school, yet somehow graduated and am living among us

The only reason you don't eat them is cause they don't taste good and you know it you retard

This is correct. So my biological instincts are basically what's keeping me alive. But I have no understanding of nutrition. I am freely and openly admitting this so I don't understand the hostility. Specifically, calling me a retard. It sounds like you have anger issues

I learned about nutrition from chemistry class in high school. My chem teacher was a health nut. I became increasingly interested in it when I stopped eating meat a couple of years ago. I actually gained weight because I wasn't eating a balanced diet. If you want to learn about human nutrition, health.com is a good resource.

I didn't take chemistry in high school because it didn't interest me and I didn't feel smart enough to do it. I am trying to learn as much as I can as an adult. Thank you

yes, but not for a prelonged time, i got survival skills and knowledge, but im getting too old and broken(my shoulder hurts just writing this...) to keep up with this shit... wish i did that survival trip 15 years ago, if you guys are in good shape or still young, do it while you can if you feel the urge or just out of interest

Yeah, np. If you wanna get healthier, the 21 day veggie challenge is extremely comprehensive and it'll give a good idea of what exactly makes certain foods good for you. You'll feel better when you wake up in the morning. Also, bowel movements get easier when you eat better.

Stop trying to promote your vegan faggotry. You need meat or at the very least fish. Stop trying to mix in vegan fag shit with survival shit you skinny faggot.

Depends where
The wilderness in my region? Sure.
The wilderness in siberia? Not likely

While you're entitled to your shitty opinion, you're mistaken. Vegans typically live much longer. Many famous body builders eat vegan diets because they agree it's the healthiest way to live.

Pointing out how wrong you are aside, the 21 day veggie challenge involves eating meat. It's just a diet designed to increase your intake of greens.

Thanks again. I actually lost a significant amount of weight over 2 years but recently put it all back on. I was literally just working out every day and eating less buy still eating pretty much junk food. Once I let laziness creep back in I rapidly started gaining weight because I was eating poorly and not working out. Trying to do things right this time. I lost 140 pounds and have put back on about 80. I am ashamed to leave the house and am making small changes to try to get back into shape

Why no rabbit?

If all I got with me is my dick, probably not. If I have to chip a sharp edge out of a rock, I'm using it to slash my wrists. But if I've got at least a pocketknife, yeah, I'd do alright.

That really depends on where it is I am trapped. If it’s my local area of the north east then yes probably. I live fairly secluded as it is now. I am proficient in fire building, shooting (I always have a gun anyhow) and I am extremely good with my hands. Honestly the only thing that would concern me would be finding vegetation to eat in the winter if meat wasn’t available.

Your body is not made to process that. Cows turn grass into moo-steaks pretty well, but they have like 23 stomachs. If you eat grass and leaves and twigs, all that's going to happen is you're going to have a massive shit that looks like grass and leaves and twigs. Oh, and your jaw will be sore.

Ah yes. Very simple answer to clarify things. Thank you

Would just whore out my ass for food and shelter

You can't. You're in the wilderness you faggot retard.

I'd light the whole fucking forest up so someone can find me.

Sameguy, wait shit I would burn I guess. I'm a bit high so let me think a bit more.

Fuck you I was reading the book and you just spoiled the ending. (Unless the movie and book have different endings which I doubt)

Yeah I'll be alright. I can just end up living there or something. I saw some youtube videos of a guy doing that.

I tried to kill myself by hypothermia and starvation by getting lost on purpose in the mountains while ill prepared. It didnt work..

I got out. I said if I get out then I should give it another chance. I didnt have food for 3 days and I slept about 2 hours, I made it back home.

Did you have a new lease on life afterwards?

No I still feel like the ISTP in pic related.

its too lean, makes you sick if thats all you eat

Rabbit starvation.

That doesn't mean you can't mix it in your diet though

I'm ENTP but I don't think you can decide your success in life by some personality categories made up by two women.

I would get pked by some faggot 1 itemer

Kill niggers

The description is spot on how I feel tho.

Lol sorry user

Protien poisoning, look it up

I don't think so. It's called rabbit starvation
