If you ended up in a survival situation....

....for example like a plane crash or broken down in the middle of no where, or lost your way during a hike somewhere like the jungle, mountains, or desert, DO YOU HONESTLY THINK YOU COULD SURVIVE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK IF NO ONE CAME TO RESCUE YOU??

I know I could, ONLY because I have been through 2 different survival courses when I was in the military.

What say you?
 
yeah, I watched about ten episodes of "survivorman" on the discovery channel. Now I know everything.



:lmao:
 
I think it's someting everyone should seriously think about.

Like heatherrae, i watch Discovery channel and there is a show called, "I shouldn't be alive", and it absolutely amazes me how many people get themselves into survival situations and make the dumbest mistakes.

I guess I think they're stupid decisions because of the training I've had, but it just seems like they're ignoring basic common sense.

I LOVE that show! He is stark raving nuts but entertaining as heck.

have you seen "Man vs. Wild"? similar show, but the guys name is Bear Grills or something like that and he brings a camera crew along with him. He's a bit melo-dramatic, but entertaining none the less.

yeah, him too. He always jumps out of plane or something dramatic to get there.

I saw him jump and land right in the middle of a huge swamp.

I would have called my daddy to come get me.
 
I think I could do it. My family and I were always outdoors, camping, hiking. I have had a Ranger course. when you are raised by a military father they make sure if anything you can survive on your own in any situation that you may find yourself in.

I don't think your cellphone would have worked to well out there..
 
The samoas are the best cookies EVER. Oh, chocolate and toasted coconut and caramel and shortbread, I LOVE YOU! :p

Yup, seen that one too. I like Survivorman better, but like you said, he;s a looney! I'm pretty sure he's a few fries short of a Happy Meal! :freak:

damn girlscouts!!!!!

How did my thread go from survival to how many fat pills can one little Brownie Scout eat?? :rolleyes:
You have your methods of survival. We have ours.

It is a survival technique to fatten up. I could last a year on the tundra right now with my fat reserves and a water source. ;)

I bet your ankles have about a gallon of water stored in them right now, huh?

You have no idea! I basically have to stay in bed with my feet up or they get to elephant sized proportions. My shoes wont even fit if I stay on my feet.

yes
 
I like girl scouts! Now what was the Q?


Oh yeah, most people have neither the know-how, nor carry, even the slightest resemblance to useful items with them. People die all the time in situations where they should have been fine. We have become so dependent on modern stuff that most have no "common sense" and couldn't build a fire if they had a match. On top of that, add an injury or weather. Most sheeple are doomed!
 
I've had quite a bit of survival training so it wouldn't be a problem for me. I'm seriously considering retiring from society and living off the land somewhere extremely remote.

i'm a pretty avid outdoorsmen with a rudimentary knowledge of survival tactics
so i think i could do a week

right on bro! me too.

I will do this once I have enough money in the bank account to fall back on in case it doesn't work out.

I personally think that Bear guy is an idiot.

1st the pansy brings a crew with him. I wonder how much help he receives once the camera is off.

2nd He's constantly doing stupid stuff like cutting himself or falling down a cliff of jagged rocks.

3rd One she I was watching and he was climbing up a vine against a cliff. He was like "I don't know if I can make it" being all dramatic like you mentioned. Well the camera angle was from above showing him climbing up towards it. I was thinking "Well surely you can make it if the camera guy made it" lmao

Survivorman is much better.
 
Depends on the climate, availability of water and sustenance, equipment, mental and physical state.

Everyone likes to believe they're regular Mick Dundee's but survival situations usually occur when folk are ill prepared.
 
I bet a lot of these sissies posting in this thread has never even been camping for more than 2 days except for band camp or something.
 
One thing I like about the wilderness is your ego don't mean shit.

If it was a few days hike to get out of there all you juice monkeys are fucked for sure.
 
I've watched 3 seasons of Lost, of course I could survive.

In all seriousness though...probably. I mean, I'd just kill whatever animals I'd come across, eat them, find a source of fresh water, and hope for the best.
 
Survivor Sissy ain't got shit on that dude that had to cut his own arm off 3 days after it got trapped by that rock or something. With a dull ass pen knife too. Had to snap the bones before he started cutting.

Ya'll ain't shit with your Rambo Survival Knives ($9.99) with hollow handle and fishing line, hooks, needle and thread hidden on the inside.
 
Without a doubt. :)

Wanna huddle together for warmth?

In a purely survival sense of the word.




















And I mean that in a survival of the species sort of way! :qt:

Not only did I grow up in the country hunting and fishing but I took and taught part of a survival course for ROTC in college. I taught Desert survival......

FUNNY AS HELL !

Ask around at work too. Same question you'll get the same B.S. Then ask these.
1. When was the last time you ate something you killed?
2. When was the last time you started a fire with no matches, lighter, magnesium, ect.
3. When was the last time you spent the night out with no tent or sleeping bag?

Then ask what time of year. Most people will be rescued because of others efforts, not survive because of their own. I'm sure some peeps really have some experience but most don't. Peeps on here may well be but a very small percentage. Fit, health conscience, outdoorsy types are fewer and farther between than fat, clueless, sheeple.

The "Survivor" contestants get some training before they go and they still struggle to make a fire. I think many people give themselves way more credit than deserved. I'm an avid outdoorsman and I have used skills like these many times but it all gets more serious when it's raining, you're hurt, and don't have anything with you. That's why it's called survival.

1. On the weekend, red snapper.
2. About 3 months ago, spent some time with a Santa Cruz surfer and Big Sur legend, he showed me the bow and other friction techniques.
3. Recently, been swimming over to the local islands, Samae San Noi and Monkey Island. Spent an overnight tripping, it's warm enough to sleep without a bag or tent but you'd need a mossie net to doss or its no fun.
