PLANE sailing if you avoid the HAMMER blows in life. Keep your head SCREWED on right and life won't be a WRENCH.

there are a lot of Ifs with that problem. you know like if it was winter, if it was near a motel, if there was fresh water, if there was a gun in the bag, or a fishing rod, or if there was a camera crew filming my adventure. I just know, first build the shelter. then start the fire. then collect food. i wouldnt do well. Did you see the movie: Into The wild? even he messed up and ate the wrong berries.

As a young guy, I would have been extremely successful.

I would be able to survive, not very comfortably though.

You could drop me pretty much anywhere (except extreme cold), and I would be fine. I already have my emergency pack ready along with two duffle bags. I could load them in the car and have everything I need for basic shelter, food and water. I also have tools packed to build a more advanced shelter. By that time I would have a feel for the land, what resources were available, and be able to live completely off the land. We live in an earthquake zone, so I like to be ready. I have all of this in the most earthquake proof part of the house, so if the house fell, I could dig it out quickly and get the wife and pets to safety.

I would make an army of killer tree robots and return to take over your world. hehe

Um...what tools are you gonna give me?
-
Yes ... As a former military survival instructor, I could "get by" without tools ... but tools would certainly raise the comfort level and would ease the workload considerably. As a blood brother to Chief George Thundercloud and good friend to a group of Canada's Arctic natives in the Yukon, I once walked completely naked into the Yukon wilderness and returned two weeks later with wood & stone weapons & tools as well as several dozen dried fish, several dozen rabbits, a few birds, and a black bear ... to feed & clothe both myself and others in the tribe ... thereby earning the title of tribe hunter ...

if by wilderness you mean san fransisco. i'd get by if you mean green grassy nobody out there...not very successful at all

It might depend where, but if I also had my husband with me, we could definitely make it and give up living the more civilized life. We've lived without electricity and running water for 6 years in the past and did everything ourselves the 'hard' way, kind of like homesteading modern style.
