Time for a new game....

**Proud American** · 12-30-2007, 11:06 PM

I dont even know what remy was talkin about saw the binary and said o crap! THAT is why I want to join the Army not be a computer programar like my Dad.

Want to go with some one but If I was goin to be stuck on a island i dont think I would want to condem any one to my fate. Plus I dont think any of you would take me cause I dont realy know anything......... but on the plus I talk ALOT and i can always learn but I completely understand . I wouldnt take me either. But honestly I agree with Rick you cant tell who can walk and who just talks

Books to bring I dont know ........Army Ranger book nah! No good, the books all about survival but not the survival were talkin about ( no need to lay ambushes and assualt bunkers on a island with only you). I think i would take the Delta forces "Black Book" dont know how useful it would be ...... but I probably am not goin to see it otherwise so ill take IT! Bible is good, got to have somthin to live for if yu dont want to go bonkers! Also a field guide to plants and medicine in the area it is invaluabele.

Oh my God, Remy was just blathering on again. Blah blah blah. What a waste. Just answer the question and stop trying to sound so smart this is a widerness survival forum not your shrinks couch.
And there is more in the Ranger handbook than just ambushes, there
s skining animals, shelter, traps, etc. so it would work.

1. Does this lonelyness bother you?
I'd be alone but not lonely. There be plenty to do. Hunger would be my motivator.

2. Do you think you can live out your life here?
Yea. It probably be a short life.

3.What books would you like to have? No more than 3 (remember your gonna be here forever)
None.

4. Who off of this forum would you like to have with you? (only 1 person with an alternate)
No one. I'm a loner.

Remy's response was very interesting, okay, I had to read it twice but it did make sense.

Remy reminds me of another gent who use to come here, awhile back.

He does ,doesn't he!

Ok Beo not bashen you or the Ranger Handbook, checked my copy and counting the mountainering section wich tells you of some useful knots and the survival section(traps,skinning,2shelter,first aid, water purifying,fire starting) this comes to 43 pages.This is out of 218 pages.

My final say Beo with all the survival skills and experience you poses the RHB would probably more then enough a quick reminder would be more then helpful, but for me my logic is wouldnt a book completely dedicated to survival be better then a book that is only 1/5.

But also wanted to say thanks Beo more in that Ranger Handbook than I thought on Survival, havent yet got a chance to read all of it and I thought I had read the whole survival section but I missed a spot!

1: it may bother me slightly, but if I had at least one person w/ me I would be fine
2: sure thing, I've got the basics (food + water + shelter) and even a buddy from these forums so I would be happy
3: the gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (I'm Atheist, the FSM is something that Atheists pretend to worship just for kicks), any good survival guide (focusing on medical stuff quite a bit as well), and a book with lots of 2 player card games.
4: someone preferably under the age of 30, cause I don't want them to die in the first year we arrive or anything. that would leave me pretty darn lonely.

I don't know any of you beyond the forum so I don't know what is talk and what is walk. Any more than you all know me. If I had to choose it would probably be Native Dude. Living off the grid would be excellent qualifications. Either way, personality would be just as important as survival skills. It would he** to be stuck with someone you couldn't get along with. I'd rather be stuck alone than in that situation.

but at least you'd have the company until problems arose, and against that eventuality, there's always the added food source...

Or sneak up on you while you are asleep and kill you. Muhahahahahaha.

Okay, show of hands. Who's the smallest, scrawniest guy on here. If someone is going to be a food source it ain't gonna be me.

<Lowering voice an octave>Not me! I'm a big, bluff hearty fellow - why just look at the size of me! No...no, I don't know where all the cushions have disappeared to...why do you ask?

**Assassin Pilot** · 03-19-2008, 09:01 PM

I'm pretty big for a teen and still growing. I'll end up like 6'6" I think (already close). I just gotta work on building arm muscle. At least I can outrun any of you old coops

Just wondering, how fast can you guys run a mile?

My time is 6:14, which is pretty decent. I'm pretty good at long distance w/ my long legs.

**Rick** · 03-19-2008, 09:10 PM

I'm really old but I can turn a mile in 6:13 if I was partying hard the night before. I'm a little faster if I have a reason to run. Cops, bears, T-Rex, cannibals. The usual stuff.

**Chicago Dan** · 03-19-2008, 09:22 PM

If the peanut gallery does not object a new guy would like to chime in.

1. Yes a little but probably no where near as most people.
2. What would be the alternative? Kiss a blue ringed octopus. I'm not a
quitter.
3. SAS survival guide, book on local flora/fauna with uses/applications and
Atlas Shrugged(Its my bible).
4. Sorry I don't know anyone here and frankly unless I can actually look em in
the eye...

**canid** · 03-19-2008, 09:23 PM

that would be me, most likely. anyway, you don't go for the smaller guy, you go the the biggest. sure, he might be more work to catch [though he probably won't run as fast], but all that fat and protein will be worth it in the end. besides, if you chase him long enough, he might just have a heart attack.
