How long would you survive alone in the wild?

all you'd have would be everything you have on you right now ..also no phone reception to make things interesting x)

It depends on 'the wild'. In the jungles of Colima, a long time. In the Atacama desert, only a few days.

@puck61 I don't know what that means but it sounds impressive.
@Dan193 I was a professional homeless person for a few years.

@puck61 where did u sleep at night? I know shelters are always crowded and the cops always roam through public parks.
@Dan193 Strength in numbers. You have to make 'friends' and join their "camps", if it's not raining, well camouflaged cardboard 'forts' in very thick bushes are safest. Bridges, Freeway over -passes, revetments by bodies of water, tractor trailer and box cars are good cover if your careful not to wake up 500 miles from where you went to sleep, but you 'have' to join a group if you want to be safe.

@puck61 Sorry if maybe I bring back some unwanted memories, but I plan on emigrating soon and who knows where I might end up, all alone in a foreign country, so I just wonder how do you go about it - joining groups? and do u get money only from begging? or is it possible to live without money all together? Do u have any survival tips for the first few days?
@Dan193 Use the missions, shelters, soup kitchens, and Health and human services in the United States. I don't know how things work in other countries. There are day labor places in the US where you can get work ....
