I just got done watching that Tom Hanks piece of shit. I reckon I could last a good year or something as long as there was minimal food about and water obviously.

OK, I know I'm probably not the nicest Pokemon Trainer when it comes to giving advice, and if I get flamed on this, it is probably well deserved. So here goes...

I'd survive the time needed to find a river so I can drown myself.

If you're talking about Cast Away then that movie was far from being a "piece of shit".

Edit: A month probably

Yeah, I've got to say Cast Away was pretty good. It lacked rewatchability, but it was one of a very few movies with a theme like that that was also a good story.

Indefinately, until I go insane. That may be an hour, it may be years.

I really don't know how long I'd survive, but based on experience with being lost in the woods and surviving that experience, I think I'd be ok for a while. But this is in my perspective that wild=American forests and woods and wilderness. If I'm stuck in the foreign wild, I would probably die the first day.

if it was by myself probably 2-3 weeks depending on the location (tundra isn't cool guys)

but sticking with maybe an athletic friend and a smart friend would probably increase my chances. and factoring in the lack of loneliness (which would kill me right away) we could survive for months before i'd go crazy (it's bound to happen for me) and slaughter them in a crazed, cannibalistic fashion

Probably a day or two, maybe longer if I slept the whole time. I'd most likely die of starvation, unless there were fruits or berries. Otherwise, I could never stomach eating bugs or killing wild animals for sustenance. Yeah, I'm a wuss.

It depends on if there was any possibilty of return to civilization, either on my own or through rescue.

Do I have my GBA with me or not? If I had my GBA, I might last about 3 days...

I like to consider myself pretty well prepared. I have matches in my purse, a dinky Swiss Army Knife on my wrist, and a pretty decent head on my shoulders, I suppose... as long as my hair didn't get caught under something or some such, I could probably survive for quite awhile. Anywhere from two days to two years, I guess. As long as I could possibly be rescued; otherwise I'd just die and get it over with.

It depends. If you've already survived for two years, you could probably survive for much longer afterwards, due to the experience you would have gained (and leveling up, of course ^_~). I would probably stay out in the middle of nowhere for as long as it takes. Anyone who comes to rescue me will me mercilessly slaughtered by my razor sharp weapons of death. [Smile]

i would beat up the little bears and hope for a good random item.
then when i'm about level 25 i'll challenge the forest boss, mama bear. when i have her +6 armor hide i can probably survive a lot longer and gain a new area to explore off to the east

Well it depends on the enviroment. also if you get a disease or break a bone you = dead.

So survival rates are really random.

...

Me and a few friends of mine tried something like this out. We went into a nearby forest with nothing but the clothes on our back and stayed there until we couldn't take it anymore.

We lasted about fifteen minutes.

There was a scam last century about a guy who stripped nude and went into the woods. He came out 2 months later dressed in bearskin and pretty grizzled. He dropped off papers to a designated drop point for a newspaper to publish.

Though it hasn't been 100% debunked, it's more likely he sat around, working on his tan and grizzled appearance at a cabin with a friend.

The bearskin had actually been done in that time, but likely it had been shot.

It would depend on WHERE in the wilderness I am.

If I'm, say, lost in the desert hundreds of miles away from civilization, then I'm dead within a matter of days. Two, tops.

If I'm in somewhere more hospitable, like the forst, I'd likely survive for much longer, provided I can find a water source.

I remember reading The Hatchet in sixth grade, and I think I've got a copy of the book laying around here somewhere. I'd probably use a bit of that to help me survive, as most of the things I'd know from the forest come from cartoons.
