I could survive a week without eating. There's rivers near me so yeah a week is do-able.

Yes.

I have spent several weeks consecutive outside backpacking in the mountains. I don’t naturally enjoy it but my son loves it, so I love to do it.

Sleeping in my backyard would not be hard.

I would be in the mountains, so easily. Wouldn't have to fend off the homeless, so I would just need food, shelter, water, something to start a fire, and of course booze.

Gun, knife, tent, lighter, sleeping bag. Hell you could do it with 5 items easily.

Oh, buddy, mosquito spray! If you didn’t bring it you’d regret it. My 10:

1. Gun
2. Knife
3. Mosquito Spray
4. Tent
5. Metal Pot
6. Matches
7. Long Poncho
8. Hat if that isn’t included in clothing allowance
9. If it’s cold, a sleeping bag. If it’s warm, then sunscreen.
10. If it’s cold, sanitary wipes. If it’s warm I’d use this extra one on a toothbrush or some cordage.

My wife told me she didn’t think I could live outside for a week in the woods behind our house. She’s crazy as shite I’ve been hunting my entire life this will be cake she says I get to have 10 items of my choosing and if I do it she’ll give me anything I want


Your wife is gonna be fricking the entire neighborhood while you're gone for a week. Enjoy the kid that looks nothing like you.

I’m in Colorado so can I do it not in the dead of winter? Still though I could. Not Bear Grylls at all but I grew up in the Louisiana woods and the Rocky Mtns in Colorado is nothing to Louisiana. Dead of summer in Louisiana the mosquitos alone would pack your arse off in a week.

I could maybe do 4-5 days in the woods of North Georgia. Eventually the humidity would get to me.

Give me a water filter, rifle to kill some squirrels, a skinning knife, and a propane grill and I’m set. Can make a fort out of branches and pine straw.

I have a lake on 3 sides of my house, if I can sit in my boat and fish for a week, I'll be ok.

I could in the winter. In the summer the bugs would drive me mad.

Yes, but I’m gonna need my dog. She is about the only one in my household I can tolerate right now. If you are taking reservations, I’d like to book the next six weeks.

I mean I could camp but not forage and hunt. I’m just not outdoorsy beyond a walk in the woods.

If you can find just a little halfway decent drinking water, it’d be hard not to survive for a week just sitting in the woods.

Nope. The yellow flies are in season and they’re brutal.

There was a group of three that carjacked a vehicle in PCB around this time last year. After being chased by police, they fled the car and ran into the Pt Washington State Forest. Only one guy was able to evade capture for a few days, but emerged severely dehydrated and eaten up with fly bites. He said he was ready to go to jail
