If you had no hunting skills or any survival training, how would you do it?

I think most would if they are not injured as the human will to survive is strong

thoughts?

would help be on the way, but wouldn't get there for a week? Or do you also not only have to survive, but find away out as well?

How cold is it?

How hot is it?

I could survive for a week as long as it wasn't some sub zero mountain range. If I had somebody with me then my odds would go up greatly because I would eat them.

i think i could do it very easily. i watch alot of the survival wilderness type shows so i would not be completely lost. After that its just about find a form of shelter and water, you can survive a long time with food. Espically if your not burning a ton of calories

I've watched a lot of man vs wild and that Survivor guy on his series which i learned a lot from lol along with USMC so i would say yes, but if it was sub zero like the above post i would think %'s go way down. I hate the cold.

weather would be a big factor to my answer. I'm not real strong in sub 40 weather.

I'd just eat fruits and drink water from a stream. anything outside of that i'm dead.

fighting wild beasts I'm dead
having to kill an animal and cook it i'm dead
having to figure out which mushroom won't kill me i'm dead

hopefully i have some hiking/camping supplies with me...i.e food...then i'm set....maybe a parlay sheet to study next weeks lines too

As long as the wife and kids can't come with me I'll be fine. In fact it might be like a mini vacation. To be honest, I might actually pay for something like that......

if I had a knife np. shelter would be first, fire, then food and water
many of you would probably surprise yourselves

they could make a good fat camp out of this idea. Have people sign waivers and then put them in survival situations and only monitor for serious injuries, but outside of that your on your own.
