How Would You Rate Your Survival Skills?

If you were in a situation where you were totally alone, far away from civilization, let’s say deep in the wilderness with only the clothes on your back and whatever you happen to be carrying (such as a knife). How long can you make it and survive? What skills do you have that could help you make it through?

I can sharpen a stick and harden it with fire. I usually always have a lighter and a knife on me

Just remember to only drink running water then just walk in the same direction to get out.

I could survive indefinitely as long as I could find a piece of driftwood shaped like a vagina.

Better hope for some balsa wood an not pine

I can shoot a deer over a feeder with a rifle out of a heated box stand, so obviously I can survive in the wilderness for weeks with no problem

I saw Cast Away, so I'm good.

10/10...easily

If I needed to make fire I'd have a 50/50 shot at survival. I've watched enough survival shows to know how to do it but I've never actually done it.

I have the knowledge and life experience, but I wouldn’t want to do it without some minimal set of survival supplies and some form of shelter. No matter ho w much you know, that naked and afraid bullshite would be miserable

That aside, there are probably zero individuals on here who would truly survive in that situation.
Finding enough food to survive, maintaining a shelter, fending off danger...it is complicated interplay that would kill pretty much anyone on here.
Hell, the vast majority have no idea what is and isn’t edible in the wild, and hunting game with just a knife is EXTREMELY hard.
Add any element of weather to the situation, especially snow, and the number of those surviving would be zero.

If you people have not watched show Alone do so last two seasons were tough.
They get to bring 10 things and can survive but accidents and nutrition was a huge factor.
If I can have 10 things can do it.
Even those experts have serious problems and are pulled from show for weight loss that if left in May have eventually killed them
Show like naked and afraid two people one item each. Usually fire starter and Knife/machete also given a pot to boil water/cook with that they are only out 14-21 days if eat small amount and drink enough water can make 21 without to much problem. Most of those people would be in serious trouble if add even a few weeks.
Edit
As would I on second thought

People overestimate their abilities.
Also, simply hunting is hard if you are just “out in the wild”, let alone with just a knife.
We as a species have lost a significant number of skills to survive in a situation like that in the OP.
