I think you could be projecting here. Two weeks is incredibly do-able for people with little to no survival training.
LOL, umm nope.
How many resources is that person going to have?
A good knife, a Ferro rod to start a fire, a pot to boil water to make it safe to drink, just procuring water, cordage, compass(and how to use it), some sort of tarp to shield from the rain, wind, & sun, some sort of sleeping apparatus to lay down on, how do you deal with diarrhea and/or constipation, what about those nasty skeeters & other biting insects, food gathering...
Its a lot harder than most folks realize.

Yeah, and the same would majority would likely believe that the chances of an event that would trigger the necessity for "two weeks in the wilderness"...is highly unlikely as well.
There are a few highly trained people who could guide an unskilled group to somewhat success, depending on the geographic area, season, equipment and the personal grit in said group. Otherwise, a lot of people would lose their will to endure...especially if there was no hope of going straight back into the easy life to which they were accustomed...after the two weeks.
Like Nicholson said "you people can't handle the truth". Truth is, most wouldn't come close; but they can not afford to admit it. I can. At 70, chances are slim on that 2 weeks, minus top equipment and a good reason to make it through.
I think that Show "Alone" is a pretty good indicator. Though there are no real pros on it.
