I’m in the US, so there’s definitely 13% of the population that would die for sure.
>Could you?
Yes. If you can start and maintain a fire, trap, fish and forage, you’re good to go outside of the winter months.

Anyone can go a week without eating.
As long as you have shelter and some water you'll be fine.

A kilo of fat is 7700 calories of fat, considering the average American male is 30kg overweight that's a 231.000 calories back up. Even in harsh conditions and only drinking water the average American could survive 3 months. A true masterrace.

t. canada

>> No.2551568

Around 20% would make it, most of which live rurally. I am one of them.

City folks and smartphone addicts would die from hypothermia within a couple of days, even if you equipped them with a cigarette lighter.

There was a woman who froze to death on the Hardangervidda plateu in the middle of summer with a backpack full of warm clothes and a dry sleeping bag.

She was so exhausted she just sat right down while she waited for her husband to hike back for help, and when hypothermia set in she couldn't think straight so she didn't even open her pack.

Norway. Outside of the cities, we're pretty robust.

Quite a lot, actually. There are some really outdoorsy people out here, and they could manage.
However, pajeets of all kinds, chinese, persians, pakis, phillipinos, non-immigrant blacks would just die within 24hrs, probably from unzipping their Canada Goose jacket to look cool.

A week? Practically anyone except someone who has some impairment that requires supervision. Or, if there is some weather challenge requiring more than the basic stay out of the rain dumbass line of thinking. Plenty of stories of random people and kids getting lost in the woods and being found week or more later, no worse for wear. Yet, our coldest night of the year was Christmas Eve and some poor family lost their dementia effected grandmother after she simply left the house at 2am and froze to death 4 blocks away.

I could do a week easily, conditions depending - over a month or more.

To me a week in the "wild" means a three star hotel. I mean three stars is really low quality. I only stay and five star and higher end places. But, yeah I could survive a three star hotel for a weak, but I would not want to.

That is what does it. Most people don't go without food very often, let alone water. It causes a lot of internal psychological and emotional panic that can lead to all sorts of novel but perilous ideas. Even so, the rate of humanoid to wild biomass conversion is too low for good sense and self-awareness to be normal anymore.

Depends on equipment provided. If given a knife, line and some way to start a fire I'd say most would get through. If given nothing than I'd say many would die from exposure.
Without equipment even a skilled woodman would need a few days to get shit sorted like fire, shelter, traps, fishing gear etc.
