Live off my body fat for a while, trying to eat tree bark. Then freeze to death in winter.
I probably wouldn’t.
Same.
Yeah I also think you wouldn’t
I would steal the picnic baskets of unaware families. Years of watching Yogi Bear would finally pay off.
*pic-i-nic if you’re doing it like yogi
Boo boo is that you?

I installed the manual after reading your comment. There’s a lot of good info in it.
Thanks for this, gonna check it out now.
Have link?
As a type 1 diabetic who knows nothing about survival stuff, not long at all
Most people will find out in a hurry how hard it is get enough food.
I watch that TV show Alone and even experienced survivalists struggle to get food. Us normies are screwed.
yeah but they have a very limited amount of supplies from a very limited selection (no guns) and its generally been intentionally in places that are very hard to survive in for one reason or another. Don’t get me wrong though. Still hard but if you have yurt with sattelite internet and solar panels and guns and many buckets of survival rations and like something that gets water from humidity automatically and such. well not really as bad. so I guess it depends on how much time you could prep your hiding spot or even your stuff your going to go out with.
That’s true and it’s similar to how I took the question. If I’ve gone into hiding, I imagine it’s an emergency situation with little to no time to prepare.
Depends. I think I could survive long enough to succumb to the parasites and bacteria in whatever drinking water source I had to use. My fat stores would keep me going for a good while but I’d be too weak to forage. I can’t trap for shit so I’d be on an all bug diet unless there are fish and crawdads.
Yeah for sure the parasites and bacteria would take me out within a month.
This is in the middle of the woods in winter with no resources (maybe a knife). A change to those conditions extends me out a month or two.
People imagine they die from exposure, or starvation, or wild animals.
Nope. You’re going to die from shitting yourself. If you have to choose, eschew the knife and choose the metal pot. At least, then, you can boil your drinking water.
I live in Northern British Columbia…so 10 minutes.
I would start by building a shelter and finding a moving water source. Next I would build a fire. Finally I would set up some snares or deadfalls to catch some food.
Now I’m king of the forest like Tom bombadil
That’s the neat part, I wouldn’t.
I’d probably be happier, modern life depresses me and while I do think the first few months would be tricky the freedom of it does really appeal to me.
Very quickly, to get it over with.
Fishing would be pretty much my only source of food during the winter time but in all honesty I’d probably freeze to death before I’d die of hunger
Depends on what type of forest it is and what my reason is for being there. Am I hiding or can I interact with other people? In which case, I think I could survive indefinitely in Lower Appalachia, right near the start of the AT. Plenty of through traffic so I’d never get lonely and have a constant source of trade, plus winters would be incredibly mild.
Drink my own piss.
