You think that'll be on youtube also?
Well why not?
thats cute. my idea is to develop a self test to determine ones physical ability to withstand the rigors of outdoor survival while coping with exposure to the elements. a means of determining your breaking point. (the limit of what you can endure before you say" ive had enough").

the self test is an exelent way to know who you are. before i go into an enviroment i like to "climatize" or adjust myself meet the demands of exposure. its a good thing that Rick posted this thread for us to consider that. if i am at risk to be robbed, what other needs have i neglected? only those things that i havent thought of, which could be a lot of things!

Your total is -32.
(Negative score) A minus score indicates that the criminal would be in danger FROM YOU. The greater the negative score...the greater the danger.
I'll have to work on being more dangerous. Mac

Hmm...I'd like to see that when you get it put together. Not to disparage your idea, but I am of the opinion that a test like that can be answered however one sees fit, whether accurately or not. The only way to determine your breaking point is to reach it, again, and again, and again, and each time, push the envelope again, and again, and again. Otherwise, how do you know where your limit is? Because I told an online test I could climb everest in 30 minutes? That's not really accurate, imho. Good luck with your idea. I hope it comes to fruition and works well. Let us know when you have it done and we'll try to break it for you.

what i meant was that the content of a test like that would be benefitial to alot of people and posting it everywhere would reach the most people. of all the things ive learned, one lesson is best, i know whatever i know; but i dont know everything that you know.

Well why not?
ok. the test would have to draw on known info, some of those someone would have to Home test before an answer(for instance...on a cold day sit on your porch with a t shirt and time how long it takes for you to become uncomfortable? 10min. no tolerance, 30min. average tolerance, 1.5 hours. above average tolerance. And set truthful values for exposure times at 32 degrees

when someone is wearing a backpack they experience stress and fatigue within 10 min of putting it on. the average distance a person can walk with a pack before stopping is 3 miles.an endurance test at home can tell you what your ability is.

yea, but the thing is that a person carries what they need, the fatigue is the same for 10 lbs as it is for 50. the heavier weight makes a difference in mobility you will cover that 3 miles quicker with less weight but the stress and fatigue are the same for any weight

Please - let's not carry the argument over to this thread. Let it go. Thanks.
Isn't that true of any similar test? The one on rape, robbing, etc. is the same. If you choose to manufacturer answers then you can manipulate the outcome any way you want. But who gains from that? No one. You cheat yourself of an honest answer.Originally Posted by Alpine
Same with Erun's test. If folks want to manipulate the answer then so be it. I understand that you really can't test your breaking point any more than you can test you chances of being robbed. What you can do, however, is provide folks with a test that allows them to consider stressors, weaknesses and possible outcomes. What they do with that is up to them.

i scored low to moderate risk on those tests, but i have to say many of the questions where either not applicable, or not appropriate to my situation no matter how i answered them.
