Would you survive in the wild?

You need to know how to build the following:

Tools
Shelter
Fire

You also need to know how to hunt and trap as well as know the wild edibles and medicinal plants in your area.

For example willow trees are native to the eastern woodlands, the bark of the willow tree is a pain reliever and fever reduces, it is literally the original aspirin before it was synthesized.

Ginseng is another one that has immune support, it can help lower blood sugar, and some studies link it to heart benefits.

In my area we have a lot of wild berries many of which are edible, some of which are poison, same with mushrooms, personally I don't like to fuck with mushrooms.

Mushrooms are going to be the absolute last opportunity for me.
Not trying to get high on accident, while trying to survive in the wild.

It's not being high that you have to worry about, its about being dead.

Death cap mushrooms are in my area, you eat that and do not get medical treatment you will die.

I'd rather die, than high mushrooms.
It scares the living hell out of me.

Maybe one day I will go do shrooms in Vegas.

Have a good trip.
I think i can survive, i was taught survival skills.
First thing : find water
Well I would say I am somewhat educated on what to do in scenarios, how to cook with little stuff and what mushrooms to eat, how to build simple shelters etc, should work for atleast a day! But thats the problem with living in the wild, you never know what hits you or under what circumstances you will be tomorrow
The risk of not taking risk is riskier than comfort.

Never Deal Off-Site!
I would last, but bugs and cold would test my patience.
Comfort is gone.

Could you build shelter, find water, start a fire, or hunt for food?
Most people today wouldn’t even make it a week.

What’s the first thing you’d do to survive?

I do believe I survive and probably thrive there. I’m a big nerd within IT, but so am I within nature and living outside, I would be good for sure.

Probably not for long haha, I’d be done the moment I run out of snacks.

Think I could but not for long tho. Wild animals and lack of resources exist after all
