Really? Avg Person Thinks They Can Survive for 2 Weeks in the Wilderness

The average American thinks they can survive for 16 days alone in the wilderness.

But... only 17 percent surveyed feel “very confident” in their ability to start a fire with flint. Just 14 percent feel the same about their ability to identify edible plants or berries in nature. While 52% are confident in their ability to identify different types of plants and trees, researchers put that to the test and discovered many weren’t quite as knowledgeable as they claimed. Only a quarter of respondents could identify a black oak leaf, while just 35 percent correctly spotted poison ivy when seeing it in a photo.
