re: Do you think you could survive a week in the wilderness near where you live

It was 40 years ago, so my memory is pretty sparse, I know it contained 550 cordage, large heavy-duty garbage bags (Used as tarps or ponchos) I used to cover my shelter. Firestaring stuff, some hard candies (I didn't take any food), and a couple of coffee filters to strain the water into the can so I could boil it in the can.

In my pocket I know I had a few things like a knife. I also wore two pair of socks so I could take one pair to use as gloves. The final exam was in the fall in the Ozarks so it was chilly at night. I warmed rocks in my fire to stuff in my clothes for warmth.

What kind of hunting we talking? You probably wouldn't have box stands and corn piles.


Do you mean survive a week if you had to or survive a week where you could tap out at any moment? 99% of us wouldn't make it if we could tap out.

def make her give you a bj right after. be sure not to clean yourself for the entire week or immediately after being in the woods.

Alone style with clothes and 10 survival items, probably so

I don't think this would even be that hard.

Tent
Lifestraw
Mosquito spray
Baby wipes
Lighter
Headlamp
Knife
Big arse jar of peanut butter or some other calorie dense food

+2 other items of your preference.

But yeah your wife is calling Jody to come pitch a tent when you leave

You realize your wife just wants a week with Jody, right?

This. It's so transparent she wants you gone for a while that it's embarrassing you didn't pick up on it.

Anyway yes, I could survive, and if I could take some household shite with me it would be even easier.

But it would be so fricking miserable I wouldn't even consider it, I hate Louisiana heat and humidity. I'd rather survive in the mountains or the cold north.

In LA I'd do it in November or December.

bet you hunt in a box stand with Little Debbies and Monster Energys. Good luck.

Is there any other way?

Could last months alone in extreme wilderness alone. Thanks Uncle Sam!

You can't die in 1 week.

As long as I have my Coumadin, I could do it. Without it, I’d last about 4-6 days and end up coyote food.

ETA: of course the same is true no matter if I’m in the woods or home, or anywhere else for that matter.
