I've done it for about 3 days, I hardly cheated at all. Built my own shelter, found (and purified) my own water, caught my own fish and fruit, and generally had a really nice time. I did use a sleeping bag, and had some essentials which I didn't use, but could have needed (general survival kit stuff, and some emergency food).

It must of been those few days he didn't post.wolram said:Did you do this in summer or winter Brewy?
I could do it for a month, but when I got back, I'd weigh 65 pounds...wolram said:No, not farming, but hunter gathering in 2005, could you do it for a month, 2,4,

I didn't realize that they're catalogued. I probably only have a few dozen, but it's enough to stay alive.yourdadonapogostick said:i have 1337 survival skillz

If swimming isn't one of his 1337 skills, you just might have done him in.Lisa! said:yourdadonapogostick said:i could do it for an extended period of time. i used to be big inot camping. i have 1337 survival skillz
Hmmm...honestrosewater said:I was imagining having the necessary supplies and being in a relatively safe location, not being dumped naked in the Serengeti.
Well, fortunately, that's all I need for my one survival skill.Danger said:Hmmm...
I was thinking in the context of having nothing to start with. On the other hand, if the scenario involves you being dumped naked in my vicinity... :tongue2:
I think women need to know 1 more survival skills than men. I mean women need to know how to protect themselves against men!honestrosewater said:Well, fortunately, that's all I need for my one survival skill.
Yes, my one survival skill is getting the man to do all of the work. Wasn't that obvious?Lisa! said:I think women need to know 1 more survival skills than men. I mean women need to know how to protect themselves against men!
And you're still single... WHY?honestrosewater said:Yes, my one survival skill is getting the man to do all of the work. Wasn't that obvious?
Yeah, and for sure he shouldn't expect any prize for that!honestrosewater said:Yes, my one survival skill is getting the man to do all of the work. Wasn't that obvious?
Men are incompetent. Yeah, it's not the best survival skill...Smurf said:And you're still single... WHY?
I'm sure you know what all men want... beer and to keep their socks on.Lisa! said:Yeah, and for sure he shouldn't expect any prize for that!
Not all of the work. Cooking and cleaning are up to you, and at my advanced age the requisite meaningless recreational sex is physically your arena whilst I lie back and enjoy. In return, I shall gladly supply you with whatever food, warmth and protection you might desire.honestrosewater said:Yes, my one survival skill is getting the man to do all of the work. Wasn't that obvious?
:rofl: :rofl: Totally agree with you. But we'd better not blame them for their incompetences. You know they've fallen from their high tower which they used to be on top of it for thousands of years. And they need some time to get used to their new position!honestrosewater said:Men are incompetent. Yeah, it's not the best survival skill...
What kind of woman do you think I am? I've never considered that work.Danger said:Not all of the work. Cooking and cleaning are up to you, and at my advanced age the requisite meaningless recreational sex is physically your arena whilst I lie back and enjoy.
Sounds fair to me. Sorry Lisa!, I've always had a weakness for dangerous gorilla men. :!)In return, I shall gladly supply you with whatever food, warmth and protection you might disire.
(I see this rapidly going the way of the 'Survival' thread.)
So you finally find your kind of man!honestrosewater said:What kind of woman do you think I am? I've never considered that work.
Sounds fair to me. Sorry Lisa!, I've always had a weakness for dangerous gorilla men. :!)
Yes, now we need to find your kind of man. It's Clausius, right? I'll put in a good word for you.Lisa! said:So you finally find your kind of man!
No, I prefer to find him by myself. He doen't have a lot in common with my kind of man.honestrosewater said:Yes, now we need to find your kind of man. It's Clausius, right? I'll put in a good word for you.
Neither did I, until the emphysema took hold. I still don't mind providing the motive power, as long as occassional rest breaks are permitted.honestrosewater said:What kind of woman do you think I am? I've never considered that work.
I fear that I would have to borrow some of Astronuc's hair in order to qualify as a gorilla man. There's still lots on my head, but the rest of me is pretty devoid. On the other hand, if I can cap a bear about my size and make buttons out of its vertebrae, I can be as hirsute as you require.honestrosewater said:I've always had a weakness for dangerous gorilla men. :!)
