Kirkatronics Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Do you think you could survive in the jungle, and how long? Personally i think i could live for a whille if i had some drinkkable water. Shelter seems quite easy if Ray Mears is anything to go by, and i think i would be able to hunt some food. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 The question is, would I want to? My iPod would run out of battery pretty quickly and there's no internet access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 To be honest, I'd be looking at escaping rather than surviving. You can only survive for so long. I'd want to get back to civilisation. Unless, I happened to like it there. It could be quite peaceful. In which case, I'd give it a go. The hardest part would be hunting for food, and that would either make it or break it for me.

Kirkatronics Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 I think i should have called this "How Long Do You Think You Could Survive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I think i should have called this "How Long Do You Think You Could Survive". You might want to add "with no hope of escape or help coming." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'd need internet or some form of electronic entertainment or I'd go nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letty Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 For a long time when I was 12 or 13, I was convinced I was going to go to the Amazon Rainforest and live on my own in the woods. I even used to practice washing my hair in streams, and even eating meat in preparation Looking back I was a total idiot though - I'd still like to visit. Despite my extensive planning, I probably couldn't survive more than a few weeks. Living in a remote place, I know how to make shelters and fires etc, but its different in a forest with poisonous insects and dangers!! Also the heat.

Cube Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 My main problem would be food. I don't think I could kill something, and I couldn't survive without meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I´d probably die of hunger wandering around looking for a toaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'd say that humans are a very resilient and adaptive species, so most of us could survive for a very long time once we knuckled down to it. So much as taking the giblets out of a chicken makes me feel rather ill at the moment, and I can't say I'm a fan of having things crawling over me. However, I imagine that if I had to survive then I'd be able to move past those things relatively quickly. I'd almost say that my body would be able to go on whilst I died a bit more each day, though. It would be surviving, not living, and the former is a base instinct; be dominated by it for long enough and you'll start to lose your identity along the way.

Jimbob Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'd keep walking in a straight line and see where i would end up. I would take some supplies with me food and water if it was near and just try to get back to civilisation. Setting up camp would be ok for overnights.

MoogleViper Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I would actually enjoy this if I was with a few people. Say 50-100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'd somehow get eaten by a whale even though it's in the middle of a jungle... I don't think I would survive, I'm not very resourceful. I wouldn't know where to begin! On the flip side I'd some how stumble about and enter a village and adapt to their customs and live the rest of my life in peace.

Eenuh Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Heh, I think I would probably die in a day... most likely from tripping over some roots and breaking my neck. =P But seriously, I don't think I would physically be able to hunt, or smart enough to set up a working trap. So I would need to eat berries and the like, and you never know which ones are poisonous... so yeah I wouldn't survive very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Although i'd like to think that i have a decent enough survival instinct, i'd probably be killed by the first snake i see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
