    You have a basic backpack worth of stuff. You get lost from your group. Let's assume the authorities can't find you. How long would you last before you freeze, starve to death, or get eaten by a Bear?

    I think the average person would last about 3-4 days before they starve or freeze. How long would you last?

                  JJ has a lot of food in that belly. He looks like he put on some weight.

                                It's funny because I was just thinking about this very question as I've been watching a lot of Survivorman lately. I have no idea how long I would last but I think most people at SBR would go insane from SBR withdrawals after around 4 hours.

                                    I could last indefinitely. Trained for situations like this.

                                      I think it is impossible to starve to death in 3-4 days

                                      most people don't camp in freezing conditions

                                      not too many bear deaths

                                      in the woods its hard not to find some water somewhere

                                      I'd say it would be a big long shot for just about any healthy adult to die BEFORE 30 days

                                      you also gotta take into account, that no one that goes camping and gets lost, STAYS lost.

                                      its not like you get dropped down in the middle of a 25,000 square mile forrest with a helicopter all alone

                                        Find water, follow it until you get to civilization. Three days tops.

                                          Depends on the woods.

                                          3-5 days, mainly because that is how long a body can last without food.

                                          Pray for water.

                                          Pray for cell phone reception.

                                                      Wouldn't starve to death, there are things to eat in the woods.

                                                          Depends if I can get to water. If I can find water I could live for a long long time, like forever.

                                                            I think the average person would last about 3-4 days before they starve or freeze. How long would you last?
                                                            I graduated from Survival School and Artic Survival School in the military...so quite a while...I'd still cry like a baby at a certain point if I didn't snare some squirrels or rabbits for food pretty fast...but with a water source, it would be a a long time

                                                              That Bear Gryls show is fake. They got busted.

                                                              I could last a while. Was a serious boy scout til age 18 (didn't make eagle).
