5 DAY SURVIVAL CHALLENGE
Can PrepHole survive?
you wake up at a river in the middle of the woods, you have 5 items packed up in a small backpack.
temps are 45 at night and 80 during the day.
you will be rescued in 5 days
what are your items??
Same as your picrel but swap out the blanket for a fjellduken, since that can more easily be used as a shelter
good choice, how would you gather food? you need to eat
You go and pick up dry wood, process it with knife if needed, seeing as OP said its 80 degrees during the day, finding dry wood would not be hard.
>you need to eat
You can easily go five days without food, it's gonna suck, but you can do it.
You won't starve to death in five days, but you'll have plenty of time to throw rocks at squirrels to see if you can get dinner
>you need to eat
You literally don't, it's only 5 days, but fish trapping and foraging depending on season.
Knife, ferro rod, steel mug, fjellduken (fancy tarp) and some string.
I'm assuming those 5 items are extras beside my clothes and fleshlight.
Jerven Hunter, worth getting?
Yes, it's probably the most functional of them.
Shit's expensive now though, frick me.
All I need is a 5 gallon bucket of cable lube, a jar of creamy peanut butter, some rope, a glass jar, and a jock strap

i get in a camping situation you would want a fishing kit, but in a survival situation wouldnt you want some kind of set it and forget it tool? like a Gill Net? it would better your odds at actually eating fish while not burning calories trying to cast and reel and stand there.
In a long-term survival situation, sure. You won't starve to death in five days, though.

Comfy ultralight hot tent and stove.
Based.
Stove does seem a bit annoying when it comes to assembling, hate wing nuts, foldable would be nice.
Yea I maybe should have went with the argali stove tbh it goes together much quicker
Tent
Sleeping bag
5 gallon jug of water
Biggest bag of trail mix available
A copy of Don Quixote
I pile leaves under the tent instead of a sleeping mat. I sleep at night, during the day I sit under a tree and get some reading done. If the season is right I forage for blueberries, blackberries, tender greenbriar shoots, and wild persimmons.
5 days? 45 at night?
Blanket and a water filter. Maybe some snacks.
Blanket& mess kit.
For maximum comfiness add a Glock knife with the saw back, a 22 air rifle with a box of pellets and salt&spices.
you can survive that by just sitting down for 5 days, anon. at least make it so you'll die without heat and water.
2x 24 hour MREs (stripped)
1x bivy tent (packs about as small as blanket in op or smaller)
1x solar battery bank
1x retroid pocket 4 pro
anon, it's only 5 days and rescue is guaranteed might as way be cozy by the river
>stripped MRE
>bivvytent
Infantrytard/larper detected. Bivvy tent is good (I got issued the kelty bivvy, I like it a lot, although it's not as versatile as a poncho or tarp, can't work under it/store gear). But stripping your MREs is moronic if you have limited gear/resources. Even the spoon bag can be used for plenty of stuff. Why are you cutting extra weight? Where are you walking to? Will the extra 3 oz of plastic, cardboard, and tobasco weigh you down while you're sitting there playing "how many rocks can I fit in my foreskin"?

This isn't a serious list, since rescue is guaranteed, just simply so i can survive relatively comfortably for 5 days.

-1 Cold Steel SRK-C *or* SOG Seal Pup if summer; 1 Terava Jääkäripuukko 140 if winter. I know each of those knives well.

-1 family sized jar of peanut butter
-1 LOTR box set
I literally live in a dry cabin in the woods and have since 2016. This challenge isn't much harder, tbh. If I only need to wait 5 days, then I'm immediately going to build a temp shelter with a place to nap and collect a ton of firewood that's a full day for site selection, building something relatively waterproof, and collecting enough fuel for the night. Then it's 4 days of reading in the shade. If I didn't know with certainty that I was going to be picked up in 5 days, that list would look different. Probably a knife, paracord, stainless steel kettle, Bic, and heavy duty tarp, in that order of importance. And yes, I've literally done this for fun before. Five days in any season is easy. An injury or no water for miles or extreme numbers of biting insects are what makes it very hard.

how clean is the river? I used to drink right from the river where I lived. I'd swap out the big knife for a pot if the water isn't great.
oh and a tent instead of a tarp if that's allowed.
you said small backpack.

I see six items in your pic. You really tried to sneak in the ferro + rope combo, you cheater

what's the point of struggling if the rescue is coming in 5 days? it's basically how I spend my holidays
You guys would probably love a survival game called Rust. You wake up on a beach, naked, with only 2 items: a torch for when it gets dark, and a rock for gathering resources (to make tools, etc.)
From there, the multiplayer world is your own to make of it what you will. You must make a shelter to avoid being robbed/killed by other players, and you must then advance towards firearms to fend off bears/wolves. I love to play it before I go PrepHole because it really gets me in the mood.
By the end of the month (it resets every month) you can have cars to drive around in, helicopters even, but you must achieve it through your own natural instincts.
It also has one of the most toxic player bases in existence, so it's a lot like being on this board
>>You wake up on a beach, naked, with only 2 items. You start collecting resources and then some buttholes drive by and murder you. Rinse and repeat.
I'm white and quite manly, so I don't care.
If you play crowded servers, sure. But who goes to the (virtual) forest to be around so many others? You play quiet servers, 10 people on a giant map, and then you learn to avoid them until you're strong. Much like you would in real life. If you play it like that, it's an excellent experience. And yeah, sometimes you just struggle and die, like you might if things went bad in real life.
That's why I got my own server. My own personal post-apocalyptic island.
>"""toxic"""
I'm white and quite manly, so I don't care.
Just play DayZ then. Good practice for not trusting anyone and killing others for nothing more than a fresh plum.
That's a really nice fantasy, but how Rust actually works is:
>You wake up on a beach, naked, with only 2 items. You start collecting resources and then some buttholes drive by and murder you. Rinse and repeat.
For me its dayz
Played tonight. Got my tard well out NW north of the airfield. Got hungry, found a little pond, untied my rope belt, made an improvised fishing pole and filled my belly to the top. Managed to find an axe and stupid amounts of sharpening stones on the way so I'm also watching out for shitty bases.
Got shot today the minute I stepped in the airfield. On spawn though I met a guy claiming to be a prophet of zucchinis though and we walked to his clans base. There was a guy in the hills nearby attacking them and after getting food poisoning the zucchini bros shot me anyway. Cool thing is I know how moronic they are and where their base is so I'm going to find a rifle to be the new hill guy now.
They made my character black. So I spent all my time trying to rape, kill, steal, so I've not been able to build.

That's it. It's only 5 days, all I need is water to stay hydrated and a place to sleep comfortably at night. I'll just relax and conserve energy and wait for rescue.
Since there's so many kit answers itt I'll go ahead and share the best setup.
>house kit (assembled)
>utilities kit (water, gas and electric)
>starlink
>furnishing and provisions kit for house (1 week)
>Steam kit (basically just access to my steam account)
I could probably even go more than 5 days on just these 5 items but I've had alot of practice.
>washing machine
>paperclip
>deodorant
>plastic fork
>ice cube tray
A water filter, a sleeping bag, a tarp, a small axe, and some matches. I don't know how to hunt or trap or anything so I'd first try to forage lots of mushrooms and berries. When I'd start getting seriously fatigued I'd just lay down and camp, keep by the fire, and drink plenty of filtered water from the river. Would definitely suck ass but I'd survive for sure.

-solargenerator

Easy.
>knife
>axe
>fully-stocked Walmart
>seven Mexicans
>the State of Arizona
It's a bit more work but I prefer seven Arizonas and the Mexican state
That's the thing with Mexicans, they're like tequila. A few of them are a lot of fun, but too many and you end up with some broken bones, a stolen car and an empty bank account.
5 MREs
I will simply sleep to conserve calories
>esee 4

>aquaquest 10x12 tarp
Use for waterproof shelter in case of rain, spend days making a nest out of duff, cover nest with tarp

>MRE
Eat for food, use bags to store water/forage/as hat (picrel)
>1000' spool of paracord
Making fish net, tying stuff, cat's cradle, rope swing, autoerotic asphyxiation gooning station, whatever
Based fat frick bulker
Seriously though why move if you know you're getting rescued? Just an opportunity to make noise and alert predators and break your ankle or some shit.
I would make a comfy makeshift shelter and just camp out for a few days eating MREs and taking my chances with the river water.
Now if I DIDNT know if rescue was coming, that would be a completely different story.
Agreed. General idea is that if you know rescue is coming and you're not in danger, chill and prep a signal (like a ground-to-air, or a smoke generator) if need be. But yeah if rescue isn't confirmed on the way then get going and be seen.

That’s in addition to my regular EDC which is already in my cargo pockets, right?
