You just get the idea you need to be in the wilderness (whatever is local - hot, cold, dry, wet, etc). You can pick anything up you want on the way out, but you can’t stop walking out the door.

How long do you reckon you would make it living off the land? Any special circumstances or tools that would have helped?

    PNW in the states checking in. “Temperate mediterranean” is the described climate, living near a rain forest. I am ~40 years old, so I would survive ~30 years in the wilderness. I’d take a fishing pole over a rifle on my way out the door.

      I also live in the PNW. I couldn’t make it 30 years, but I could make it a while. I know how to forage, how to fish, and some very basic trapping. I’ve got lots of outdoor gear to help.

      My health problems would do me in before the environment would.
