How Long Could You Survive in the Wilderness Alone?

[bigfo0t]

I have a 3 day pack I’m working on. Got a flint keychain, lensatic compass, all that. Need a short rifle and a chest rig.

One thing that’s real important when **** hits the fan is water. People don’t think about it until they’re thirsty. 3 gallons or so in your car is a must.

Have you heard of the LifeStraw? It's a very lightweight, portable, cheap, personal water filter.



They are handing these things out in "third world" countries and it is saving lives!



Beats hauling gallons of water in your car at all times!
You could distill almost anything (even seawater) if you had neither. Just need the right equipment.

I could survive for a while there. I'd hate every single day of that schit though.

I'm not too big on killing animals either. However, push come to shove, I'm eating rabbit and other furry critters. I've gone vegan and vegetarian for 30 days on two separate occasions before, so even if I couldn't reliably find meat sources, I'd be straight on vegetation for a while.

Again, I'd hate EVERY SINGLE DAY of that schit though.

I could survive forever there, maybe even have a few kids with the female Bears

There's no 7 elevens you can rob there.

I could probably for as long as my sanity would allow.

Five things I would want:

For short term < 30 days

Multi-tool
Tarp for shelter
Fire starter
Small caliber rifle for small game and self defense
Canteen or thermos for storing and boiling water

Interesting.

In Yosemite? Ages. My bro-in-law is a regular climber of El Cap so I’d head for the Meadow and live a life stealing from tents and ****ing stoner chicks who start creaming their panties at my accent every time I speak.

Like 20-30 minutes.

Like 20-30 minutes.

Me too.

Maybe a little longer, but when my phone battery dies, I'm dying with it.
