How Long Would You Survive Alone in the Wilderness?

Welcome to your How Long Would You Survive Alone in the Wilderness?

How did you land up stranded in the wilderness?

A. I'm kind of a loner, so I decided to take a walk by myself and accidentally wandered away from the path.

B. I'm not stranded. I just don't want to be found.

C. My friends and I do wild things all the time. So, we thought it would be nice to have a party in the woods. Turns out it was just a practical joke, and they left me there. I don't think it's funny.

D. I'm an avid hiker and love going on adventures. But I'm not too nervous because I always have an emergency kit in my bag.

How would you find north?

A. I'd wait until dusk and try to locate the north star. I'm kind of an astronomy lover.

B. Hmmm, you know that rule about moss growing on the northside of rocks and trees, right? I guess I'd use that!

C. Wait, why is there no signal here? I need to use my compass app on my phone.

D. Easy! I'd just use the pocket compass I carry whenever I step out of the house. I know I'll need it for an emergency situation one day 🙂

Have you found fresh water yet?

A. Almost! I can hear the water gushing. Sounds like a waterfall 🙂

B. Not yet. But I'm trying really hard to locate a small stream, and I'd just follow it down.

C. I'm too hot and tired to go and find water. I'm conserving my energy. Also, it's a forest, right? It will rain eventually, and I'll just have some H2O then.

D. Duh! That was the first thing I did. I also carried my portable water straw that filters dirt and germs to make sure I'm drinking fresh and clean water.

What would you eat to survive?

A. I'd try to catch a small animal and cook it over a fire. If there's a pond, I'd try to catch some fish.

B. I would look for some creepy crawlies like insects, bugs, and maybe spiders.

C. I would look out for some delicious-looking red berries! Perhaps, I’d find some mushrooms, and try to start a fire to cook them, lol.

D. I’d munch on the trail mix and granola bars in my backpack.

Choose a hiking accessory

A. A couple of good books, so I don't get bored. Perhaps the Harry Potter series.

B. A thermal bottle, for sure! This way, depending on my mood, I can keep my water cold or warm.

C. Sunglasses and SPF. Getting sunburnt is no joke, seriously! They're super important.

D. A good, sturdy walking stick that can help me balance and keep me moving. Hiking can be really exhausting, so having a little extra support is always a good idea.
