Yep, I could. Combining my knowledge of taxonomic botany, trapping, survival, and what repels bugs (that yall are so scared of), I could probably not only survive, but thrive. I don't want to be up obese or I would try it.

He was a vegetarian so he didn't care about cooking anything and once he found out he could drink the water, he had no incentive to start one.

I'm pretty sure I could do it if I got to be on the camera crew.

I am a outdoors guy. But being naked with the bugs and cold would not be easy

I could go three nights then tap out like a bitch

Hell, I stay naked and the only thing I'm afraid of is commitment.

I would love to be on Survivor. The idea of having to live outside like that and work to survive intrigues me.

I could do it, and I would do something along the lines of this:

Alone----- yes

Naked and afraid--no I'd have a staging boner that would cause all the blood to flowsouth and not north. This would cause me to start thinking irrationally and then I would have to tap. But I would PIIHB before I tapped out.

I might make it 24hrs tops.......

My one problem with this show is........why in the frick are they naked? In what survival situation would you be stranded and naked?

Give me some clothes and a fire started and I think I'd last a while.

After watching these shows and seeing the people that tap out due to the bugs, I'm surprised nobody has brought a bug net as one of their items. It might be hell making fire, but shite on getting eaten by bugs at night.

Was watching the XL version earlier and one of the girls had a mosquito net.

I'm pretty confident in the woods, but barefoot would freak me out, and naked in the jungle, man I don't know if I could sleep without thinking about all the bugs that could be crawling on my junk.

On alone, they get ten items (a good selection of stuff too, like a pot, bow/arrows, fishing line/hooks, machete, axe, tarps, fire starter, emergency rations, etc.) and it still seems like absolute hell.


Without a partner you don't have anyone to tell you to think things through or that the tree you think is a bear at dusk is just a tree, that's gotta up the stress level a ton.

Anyone ever watch "Dual Survival?" I want to punch Joe but man i love me some Matt. That guy could live anywhere and flourish. He is bad to the bone at surviving with nothing. When watching Naked and Afraid, me and the wife are always like "Matt could live here easy" or "i bet Matt could have done this or that." Matt is awesome.

I feel like if this was asked on the OB the responses would be different.

I hate horseflies. Biggest buzzkill.

If a drinkable or salt water supply was near, I could survive indefinitely. I have an extra year's worth of calories stored on me, so as long as I get some calories and enough water, why not.

Crab rape?
Basically, yes. They were eating crabs every day. Eventually he had sharp crab shells in his concrete turds.

No thanks, I'll tap out first day.
