If you were stranded on an island and a storm was a brewing, would you be able to build shelter for yourself?

I honestly think I would completely fail at this and would also need lots of fruit or something because I don’t think I’d get much rabbit cooking going either.

no lol

[Nokra]

Could I do it? Yes. 

 

Would it look suspiciously like just placing a large leaf on my head and be remarkably ineffective? Also yes. 

 

 

 

 

 

Honestly though I don't know, I guess it would depend on what resources were available to me, what my state of mind was, etc. I'm actually an Eagle Scout and have been backpacking many times so I'd like to think I've picked up some survival skills but it's all a bit rusty at this point.

I feel like I would get close but keep ending up building things that break and fall down and just end with a pile of wood and failure

I’d belong to the storm.

I’d be banking on a cave.

I was in the Boy Scouts so I am prepared.

Yes, I could swing it. Having left home so young, I've had occasion to live rough at times, so I'm relatively handy.

Eh? You build shelters for a living. No humble brag from you but come on!

My first priority would be protecting my best friend Wilson.

Okay, unlike you soft pieces of shit, I have watched every single episode of Survivorman, including the director commentaries. I could whip up a lean-to shelter and make a fire from a fire bow with no problem whatsoever. I've seen it done on TV many, many times.

 

... fucking mooks.

Ha, survival structures and buildings for rich kids have slightly different build parameters.

Let's just say if I was stranded on an island with someone else and needed to build a shelter there wouldn't be anyone else I'd want to be with but you 🫂

I'd die in a week. I never even started a real fire before even after camping my entire life. I'm not built for survival so it would be a scary situation.
