Would you rather be stranded in the swamp, or the desert?

I would have to go swamp for sure. I don’t know how long I’d last in either to be honest, but I think I would probably last longer in the swamp.

As far as hydration in the desert, I wouldn’t even know where to start. At least in the swamp, you would think that you have plenty of food around you and water that could be boiled.

Swamp all day. Plentiful food source and water. Just need to know how to purify it and you are good.

Screw the desert

I feel like the odds of survival are a lot higher in the swamp than middle of a desert. Availability of water, possible food sources, and wood to start fires. Hopefully you can find a pot or something to boil water in though

We Louisianians. We die day one in desert. Don’t have a clue what to do there

One sun baked day in the desert and you’d be toast

Hmm would I rather have water, shade, and ample opportunity for game to eat or stare off into the distance at nothing in 130 degree heat with my lips bleeding?

Is this a serious question? The swamp of course. I always have a means to light a fire in my pocket, so I have access to food and water at all times. Roll around in the mud to keep the misquotes off, you're good to go. The desert is very unforgiving and you'll die quickly unless you are already very familiar with it.

Swamp and it’s not even close. You can survive a lot easier in a swamp where there are plentiful food and water supplies as opposed to a desert where these things are scarce.

Hands down, swamp. I can get water to drink, food to eat and get out of the sun very easily.

The swamp has shade from Sol; in the desert you're just naked. Swamps offer alligators to eat; deserts have what? I don't want stoop to eating coyotes, buzzards and long-pig.

Deserts are good for 1 thing: staring at the stars while wearing NVG's.

Swamps are a pain in the arse, but deserts just suck.
