Find a river and start walking
You can't possibly walk 500 miles without provisions.
Nowhere in the US has any land that's more than 10 miles from the road.
there's plenty
central idaho has a lot of it
Dumbass. The Bridger-Teton Wilderness in Wyoming and the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho both have many, many spots that are more than that far from a road. And that's "as the crow flies" - there are far more places that require more than 10 miles of offroad to access.
Oh wow two places, TWO places. Remind me how your country isn't hyper modernized again?
>your country
you don't even live here and know jack shit
LOL
Congrats turbo autist, you're still stuck on the previous post. Hyper modernized failure Tbh.
t. homosexual cuck who has never been anywhere in the u.s. and has utterly no comprehension of how vast and varied the geography is
LOL
fricking turbo autists lmao
just admit you're wrong
>a couple backcountry roads that lead to a local town with less than 100 people
>hypermodernized
Do you think all of Idaho is Boise or something?
Was just in Challis not long ago, Copper Basin is great fun
I'm looking at Bridger-Teton and the farthest spot from a road I can find is still only 17 miles from one.
And that spot is less than 3 miles from a ranger station, several established campsites, and an outfitters camp.
Is this really the best "wilderness" the Lower 48 can boast?
central idaho
?t=553
>you live in a tree
how do you survive?
Which forest? What time of year? What kind of plane? What am I wearing? What are the other people in the plane wearing? What supplies was the plane carrying?
Same scenario of the book "Hatchet"
Not sure about the plane. Some single engine thing. Wearing normal clothes; denim pants and a cotton shirt. There is a survival kit but it's at the bottom of the lake you crashed into. It's only you and the pilot, who is dead and wearing the same clothes as you.
I think I read that book in 2nd grade. I don't remember any of it.
With what I know now? I'd probably butcher out the pilot and see if I could dry some of the meat or at least attract an animal that I could eat. I'd probably see how much forest I could get burning and just wait for the firefighters. I'd be out in a day. I'd spend the wait time coming up with a story to explain why the pilot is was cut open.
>I'd be out in a day
Maybe with suuuper luck from the forest fire fighters. It's still going to take a while to even make a fire.
>It's still going to take a while to even make a fire.
I literally have a plane. The battery alone will start a thousand fires.
in the book the plane us under water, but ok.
My EDC includes firestarting.
Horizon is roughly 15 mi of visibility at ground level, pretend it’s 100 from a small plane, maybe a S&R team following the flight plan would spot your fire, but it’s far from a guarantee.
In a conifer forest, it's pretty easy to make a fire big enough to be seen from space. I'll be fine.
That’s truly unfortunate.
>I'd probably butcher out the pilot and see if I could dry some of the meat or at least attract an animal that I could eat
Funny you say that because that's close to what happened in the book. The plane crashed into a small lake, and the main character was surviving on fish for a while. He took a swim to see if there was anything salvageable off the plane and found out the fish he'd been eating had been feeding off the dead pilot.
>How do you survive?
use the radio in the plane to call for help
>b.but y-
shortwave
>THE PLANE IS AT THE BOTTOM
if the plane crashes into water and I can't use the radio then I would be underwater but you never stated that so I have time to use the radio and the dead piolet as a flotation device
>There is a survival kit but it's at the bottom of the lake you crashed into.
swim down if possible
Also it's the boreal forest in mid summer
>boreal forest in mid summer
Easy mode. Any healthy fully-grown man can survive for a few weeks just by finding a river and eating random bugs, fish, and shellfish. The only demoralizing thing is knowing if someone's searching for you or not. But I guess a large enough forest fire can do the trick.
My mother was a prostitute and I don’t deserve to live.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Did you actually read the book?
Long ago.
i'd the emergency button on my garmin and take a nap till the helicopter taxi arrived. ciao!
>Take a picture of the crash site asking if making it back counts as backpacking or thru hiking.
>Wait for the heated discussion to turn into a competition about who can do it the fastest.
> Kill the ultralight 110 pound manlet who turns up without supplies, muscles or energy to defend themselves
> Hike back
You are alone in the woods. Sicko.
Alternatives...
Start fishing, doesn't matter whether you have equipment. It's better if it's out of season, and you don't have a license. Get a ride from the fish and game ranger who comes to give you shit.
Carry a piece of fiber optic cable in your EDC. If you're lost, bury it in a shallow trench. Get a ride from the backhoe driver who tries to cut it.
Scratch the words "Convenience Store" into a piece of wood and lay your EDC out on a log. Craft a deadfall to kill the melanin enhanced individual who shows up to rob you, and take his ride.
Start jerking off. Get a ride from your mom when she walks up on you with the laundry.
Start making "it's ok to be white" memes with a stick in the dirt. Steal the DNC bus that brings in the "mostly peaceful" protestors.
i'd enjoy some goddamn peace and quiet for once
If this was a sceneio where i would be picked up after a search party I would stay put and have some signal fires ready. If nobody was coming I would fashion a flotation device out of the wreckage and float down the nearest river. I could make 15 miles in a day just floating, and if it was summer I wouldnt get cold. I would eat bugs and crustations raw. No fire or supplies needed
Didn't this actually happen to a woman? She just followed a river until she found a fishing shack an waited there until the owner came.
scandinavian chick i think, put jet fuel/gasolene in a cut she had to get rid of maggots or whatever, went down a river and found a village
Wasn’t part of this book series that there was some Native American dude living out in the woods like a mile from where the plane crashed? And he didn’t go looking for the kid when he saw smoke because he figured it was just another guy living out there
befriend an injun
I don't think there are any more wild injuns in the boreal forest.
holy shit that's the first novel I ever read when I was a kid. I forget it existed. thanks for the nostalgia.
I don't survive. I thrive.
It is 2023 and I am not poor, so I pull out my iPhone 14 Pro and use the built in Satellite SOS feature to call for help.
You crash landed in water. Might not work.
Good thing the iPhone is water resistant and I keep mine in a waterproof case.
if it's alaska im dead from the water unless i can start a fire within 10minutes, which i probably can't from the shaking and being unprepared. (oh no the planes crashing, let me just sit here and not grab my emergency water proof duffle bag that's always under my seat when i travel)
if it's any other state i just turn 360 degrees and walk out. there will be a cabin, logging road, highway or camp ground within a days walk.
It's the dead center of the boreal forest
It's the boreal forest in summer time.
My name is Brian so I got the nickname Hatch in elementary
not a bad nickname, did it stick?
I build comfy shelter and fish gor fud 😀
I build a 400 log sky scraper, harvest local cannibals for bones, build endless traps, search caves for more items, etc
This isn't minecraft
You are correct, it isn'
Stay put. It most likely has a tranponder and gps tracking. Create a bonfire to light when search parties start searching.
And why dont you have a sat phone or Garming inreach for a bush plane.
Its 2023 if you get stranded you made poor decisions.
>Its 2023 if you get stranded you made poor decisions.
I wish it wasnt 2023. Shave off 60 years and I might enjoy myself.
all that safety takes the fun out of it.
Well assuming I'm stuck in a limbo where no help is coming, I don't think I'd last for a very long time. I'd probably die of exposure or I'd starve to death
I probably dont.
If he had zero hesitation and had understood his predicament immediately, then he could have sliced some bacon off that dead pilot....
Fix the plane and leave
I pray to mother earth and thank her for keeping me alive.
I meditate to become one with my environment and to awaken my instinctual survival skills honed by my ancestors.
I forage for my food while collecting enough for my animal brethren to pay tribute to them for allowing me to live off their land in peace.
I sleep under the stars naked just as nature intended.
>Sir, this is a Wendys
Start a cheeky fire and see if anyone comes to find me
>Begin cutting dog hair and standing dead trees with my katanaboy.
>Make a camp to store all of the dead wood I'm collecting.
>Spend half of the days I have food rationed for, cutting dead wood.
>At the midway point, make the mother of all bonfires.
>Imma show up on every downward facing satellite camera from the UV to the fat infrared.
>If I don't have much food? Find my way to low elevations and set a hill or mountainside on fire.
