Hi all, if you found yourselves in a survival situation in a forest. where you had no kit except for boots, trousers/skirt and t-shirt. what bushcraft skills could you use to get by? Would it be possible for you without a knife or gore-tex jacket? What would be your plan of action? How would you make fire without something to make a notch for your bow drill? How would you eat? what would you drink, wee? thanks :)

Survival situation in the UK = driving to the chinese and forgetting your wallet,..

or losing your car keys,...

or missing a bus,....

i,d not make fire, i,d find a Travelodge and have some money transfrerred

then i'd call for a lift home the next day and probably eat a McDonalds

or a Nando's

Big question i'nt it dude? Plan of action? Depends on the situation. Am I trapped if so where? Am I injured if so how and how badly? Is there imminent danger? If so what form - fire, flood charging rhinoceros, hoard of hungry cannibals?














Just sayin :)

ok, not trapped etc just in a forest, maybe in northern Canada or similar. Have a go bro, it seems people would find it hard without their BG ultimate knife :)

How did I get here?

its a survival situation,...

you fell off a boat and found a bullet in your back , but you find a bag full of cash and passports, and you get to kiss that German bird out of that other film, and drive an old Mini around Paris and smash it up and then kill all the baddies and then buy a moped shop on a nice beach somewhere....................

Let's say hpertheticaly i was stuck on the N.Y moors. My first concern would be fire and shelter im concerned i only have a tshirt though that's not going to help things. And id also probably just find a town or something if your lost you wouldn't want to set up camp. Most places you would find somewhere in a day so aslong as i could sort my core temp out it would be easy enough
