Anyone can survive for a week with supplies etc, but the real test comes when you apply the worst case scenario test and try to do it with the minimum of gear. Shelter, fire making equipment, water purification, snares, etc. Only eat what you can trap, shoot, fish or forage. For water if you have no rivers or springs then it's ditch water that you will have to purify to survive. Try it for one week, you will find water is the least of your worries if you have effective filtration as you can drink anything, food on the other hand will be much harder to get and by the end of the week you will be willing to rip new born puppies apart to eat. Those of you with access to land should try this, as it really is an eye opener.


This sounds like it could be a very good challenge! Who fancies a week going feral??
