re: Majority of Americans believe they can survive two weeks in the wilderness

A fair chuck, if not a majority, could probably still be alive in two weeks if they could figure out a water situation that didn’t kill them, but they wouldn’t be thriving.

Exactly. People here are underestimating how long humans can go with no food and very little water. It would be miserable as frick but I wouldn’t doubt if a majority of people could survive for 2 weeks. They would probably be pretty close to death but 2 weeks isn’t that long to stick it out. Key word survive as you said and not thrive. I feel like most posters are basing this on thriving and not surviving though.
