I have always loved reading about how to survive in the wilderness type books, articles, shows and movies.
You might of heard of Bear Grylls, he takes the actors and people out on wilderness adventures. Recently he came out with a would you survive interactive show for kids called, “You vs Wild”. It is staged and not very real, but gave me the idea for this quiz. So, thank you Bear.
Would you survive a boat wreck, and a stay on a deserted island?
Answer these 10 questions to see if how you would fair…
Good luck and I hope to see you off that island soon!
