I’m by no means the ultimate outdoors woman… and David isn’t the ultimate outdoorsman, but I know I could hold my own. I do know if push comes to shove I could survive in the wilderness alone. StudyFinds asked folks if they were stuck in the wilderness, how long do you think they could last? The average person said 16 days.
This same article says one in five of those folks couldn’t start a fire on their own. To me, that is super scary. You must have fire to survive. You need fire for warmth and you need fire it to cook. It also found one in seven folks couldn’t identify plants and barriers they could eat versus the ones that would kill them. I know in a pinch that would be hard, but having the basics would be very important.
To be honest, I think I could only make it for about 10 days. I know that I could handle the hunting and fishing part as well as the fire part, but I’m not sure I could handle the mental side of being stranded. We want to know how long you think you could last.
