How far would you go to survive?

So after watching Bear Grylls’s Man Vs. Wild (Yes, I’m obsessed with that show) the question came into my head…how far would you go to survive? I mean, the survival instinct is probably the most basic primal instinct we have…and when it kicks in nothing else really matters.

Just watch these clips…they aren’t for the faint hearted :smiley:

So people tell me…How far would you go? What would you eat? If there was seriously nothing else to eat and you were dying of hunger would you even consider cannibalism?

Yes, I know this is a hypothetical extreme scenario and no one ever really knows what they would do unless but they were in that situation but I’d like to know people’s responses anyway :slight_smile:

Re: How far would you go to survive?

Great topic :k:

I think when it comes to survival and our (dire) Health in life or death situations most of us would eat anything.

Though NOW I think I won’t be able to eat anything disgusting, the worse I would do is pick a bug and swallow it. Bugs are supposed to have high protein so ideal in survival!

What about you? I see the OP hasn’t said what she would eat, knowing her…EVERYTHING :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: How far would you go to survive?

i wud prefer dying.........

Re: How far would you go to survive?

Shak…I swear Grylls has no gag reflex. I think if I tried to eat anything he does I would be sick and that would cause more harm than good.

But, when it comes to survival…who knows what a person would do. Like that example of that climber who amputated his own arm, which was trapped under a boulder, to free himself. He did that in order to survive.

So, if we’re willing to harm and mutilate ourselves to survive (a la the Saw movies) then surely eating nasty things wouldn’t be such a big deal?

Re: How far would you go to survive?

I don't think it would be!

I was watching this documentary ages ago, where in Africa, 2 guys, brother inlaws, get lost as their car breaks down. They starved and got dehydrated for days. Then one died and the other was suffering terrible hallucinations. So out of sheer hunger he ate meat from his BIL.

Humans may do anything for survival

If the Bear was able to find food, then why not me…

I prefer to eat what the Bear ate…berries…Honey!

rather than Bear’s Blood…when meat is available then why drink blood?

:smack2: us k sath poori team hoti hai…

Re: How far would you go to survive?

I have no problem eating anything…maybe i’ll draw the line at humans, but who knows what one would do when in said scenario…:hmmm:

Re: How far would you go to survive?

i think i read somewhere that everything becomes halal if its for ur survival eg. if u have no food and ur stranded in some jungle, and the only animal you see is a wild boar, u can shoot it down and eat it.

u mean brothers in law :)

Re: How far would you go to survive?

Naturally i would go all the way.

But thus far even in the most remote jungle one can stick to Halal diet if one knows what's edible plant wise.

Besides when your in dire straits even the corporal next to you could be be a welcome meal.

Not that i would ever go so far....

I find surving in an urban metropolis far more difficuilt than Borneo or Ninevah or Khorrasan or Nevada or the Gobi or the Amazon.

Re: How far would you go to survive?

disturbing:vivo:

no even if i am lost in the middle of nowhere i wud like to survive on something edible

Re: How far would you go to survive?

Haha, yes the stuff you’ve said you can eat, I read some of it in a thread :vivo:

I am sure they’d have a KFC there!

Re: How far would you go to survive?

That show is great Man v. Wild.

Survivorman is also another great show.

If your grossed out with creepy crawlers and other such things, the survival will not be so great.

having access to drinkable water is more important than meat.

Re: How far would you go to survive?

If the person is already dead, it's not so bad, is it? Me personally I'm too much of a wimp tho, can't eat fish if it looks like fish or prawns.. or anything else that looks like it does living when it's served on a plate..
