I suggest smoking and watching "into the wild"
It makes you wanna give up on everything thats "normal" in life. And go neanderthal up in dis bitch.
Luckily by the time I wake up the next morning those feelings are gone lol.

Has anyone here done it? Just to try and survive in the woods without food? Obviously you need food, shelter, heat and water. Lately I've been watching some survival shows like "Survivorman", "Man vs Wild", "Alone in the wild" and "Dual Survival".. all awesome shows. Makes me want to go and do this for a few days just try fishing/catching food, building a shelter with my own hands and creating a fire with old methods to keep warm. I definitely want to try it sometime..
Was it Survivorman where the guy ate undigested food out of bear dookie? I'll pass.

Trust me, once it gets dark and cold you'll jet back home.

Fun Fact: You can eat the meat or organs of anything with fur or feathers, except the liver of a Polar Bear which contains toxic levels of vitamin A.

Sounds highly catabolic.

4 years ago I walked for almost 6 hours true the jungle of Borneo, alone, and didn't encounter any headhunters.

I've done a two day survival ex... it was shit.
We had to make a shelter, get a fire going and then kill and cook a chicken. We couldn't get our fire going for ages and when we did it never got beyond the twig stage. This meant we were constantly looking for wood for the fire and while doing this I managed to chop the end of my thumb off. When we got back to camp most of us went down with diarrhea and vomitting (We were on the ranges the following week and I was still quite ill with the stomach bug; this resulted in me shitting myself during a troop thrashing by our DS).
Good times!

Did it little in Iceland....haha, sounds worse than it was, as it was during the glorious 50 degree summer! It rained, cold and was not much fun. And it wasn't total survival as we had MRE's and water. It was more just battling the elements.
-
Nice, what made you try it in Iceland? I was thinking here in Norway maybe in the summer.. try get some wild edibles/fish etc.. what did you eat in Iceland except for MRE's?
I was stationed there, so it wasn't really a choice. ;D We caught some fish, ysa if I remember correctly. They were pretty decent.....we were along the coast, not inland on the glaciers where it would have been much worse.

survival school, escape and evasion training...

I need a soft mattress, hot shower and home-field advantage for the sit down. I wouldn't last a day. :-\

It wasn't much of a service; It only lasted 14 months due to snapping my leg.
However, I'm going back in at the end of this month. :D So hopefully it will go a lot better this time.
Sounds awesome, what equipment did you take with you? What kind of climate were you in? Why did your fire fail?
We were just in combat jackets, trousers and boots and we were allowed to carry a knife and a survival tin - the contents of which was a flint striker thing, candle, lots of cotton wool and a snare (fuck knows what I expected to catch with that). The climate was England in December, which is pretty cold and wet.
Tbh, I think the reason the fire failed was due to not paying attention during lectures on how to build a fire and the fact that we were completely fucked - We had been doing day and night navigation for the previous four days carrying full kit.
-
Sounds cool man.. I was watching "dual survival" and I gotta say.. they caught one iguana and one porcupine, it looked good
ps: dual survival is a great show, one of them is a an army sniper and the other one a bush hippie lol
I caught part of that show before. It was actually pretty good.

A man's got to know his limitations. ;D

I tried to fight a bear,...didnt work out

Just started takeing up camping and collecting stuff for a end of the world type of scenario. I visit a lot of the survival forums and read alot. I have a decent size stash of food, weapons, and ammunition. It's become a fun hobby that might prove very useful.
You will really enjoy this article xerxes

It's an article about a young trappers first season in Alaska.

Get yourself a tent, backpack, waterfilter, ect. pack up your car go out to the woods and stay for a weekend. You will have fun.

How did you grill the chicken without a fire? (or was it just enough?) Just one snare? Maybe for rabbits or something :S? Sounds tiring man
We cooked the chicken in an old paint pot we had been given by the DS. We suspended it over the fire (when we eventually got it going a little bit) and boiled it in water from the river at the bottom of the wood. River water and undercooked chicken may have been a contributing factor in our going down with stomach bugs the following week.
Yeah , the snare was for a rabbit, but I didn't have a chance of catching one as (a) it was the winter and there was no rabbits about and (b) the snare hadn't been weathered, so thumper would've smelt humans on it and avoided it like the plague.

any fish in the area? That is the way to go. We just wrapped them in the used MRE pacakages and buried them in the fire coals. They turned out very good.

Obviously you need food, shelter, heat and water.
Sexual release is also a requirement, long term. Give Outward Bound a call. You'll learn a lot about yourself that weekend.

We were fairly close to an icelandic fishing village, it was suggested we should raid it and take it from the viking invaders.... ;D

We had been told that we should use the chicken entrails as bait for fish and if it had been for a longer period of time we would have probably given it ago.
However, we had a chicken between each syndicate of four to last us a day and a bit; so it was just a case of grin and bare it and wait for the transport home to arrive.

Try it for a night, you wont be able to post and no hoes will be around. I forsee withdrawal symptoms and a run back to the house shortly but a good thought to get away from this fucked up world. 8)

So I post from my Iphone and look for wild tribewomen? :D
Thats the ticket bro. 8)

I hit you with a PM. And I really liked it there too. Once in a lifetime experience.

I guarantee you Survivorman is filmed in someones back yard. He isn't a true survivor. He brings stuff with him like water, etc. A true survivor will live off the land.

ROFLAMO
some of you guys gotta spend atleast one night in a tent before you do any of this shit.
I spent alot of time tenting growing up. However I would never do it freestyle unless I had someone who knew the ropes. Out door survival is serious shit. It takes years of pratice to get good at this shit. Making a fiire with sticks requires knowing the right sticks/rocks to use. Surviorman is an expert the dude knows his shit, and had to quit doing the show from all the strain it put on him.
I'm a newfie(Vinland west norjway/ireland etc) my people are obessed with moose hunting it's our provincial sport. Along getting drunk in the woods and getting drunk on a boat, it's pretty much the only things we do. Hence my lack of grammar, and interest outside of being big.
Heres one of our drunk trips into the wild.

Agreed as soon as that camera goes off he cooks himself a huge steak and baked potato. Problalby has power bars shoved into all of his pockets. Imagine being in the woods for as long as he does barely eating anyting and working hard to get fire going ect. You would come back 20 pounds thinner. Guy never looses weight. I would look like a monkey especially not being able to shave, bathe, ect.

He goes for a week at a time. The first thing you do before going on a trek is bulk eating. He quit doing the show for health reasons, even though he was making a mint.

All seriousness, but the worst part of survival in the woods is all the walking, which leads to fucking "crotch rot"...and if you're constantly wet from rain, it just won't go away. Better hope you're in shape before you have to trek for miles in the bush/desert/tundra.
-
do they have internet in the forrest?
-
what nice would it be, a few months without seeing a single man in thong.
-
How come nobody asked for Fat Panda's point of view on this yet? He's a true survivor and the guy will never get caught unprepared for those kind of situations. I don't know what he went through but it must have been hell. Imagine carrying constantly the Ritz's sunday brunch buffet under his skin wherever he goes.

lol owned

You dry, at all costs, being wet ain't an option. I dono it's easy in subartic climates.

He would have enough fat reserves to last the winter??? ;D
C'mon, the man is a beast, you have to acknowledged that. He'd survive a new Ice Age wihtout blinking.
