Can humans still survive in the wild?
Let's assume that from one day to the next, we all live in the great outdoors. In the wilderness, in Germany, for example, in the forest. With wild boars, foxes,…
Will humans still be able to survive at all? We now need to consider several points.
• Newborns and toddlers
Babies and small children are at risk of being discovered by other animals, for example, due to their screaming. I don't know much about that, and perhaps screaming would scare animals away. In any case, the whole "caring for the child" thing continues. If a child falls over a tree trunk or something similar and only gets a scratch, they usually expect comfort and love because they've hurt themselves. I think this is a bit annoying in the wild. Another factor is that humans stay with their mothers for a very long time. I can't confirm this, though, since in the wild we might stay together as a family our entire lives.
•Water supply
As I already asked in my last question, humans can't just drink from bodies of water. Apparently, humans are very susceptible to bacteria, and river water, etc., can make people sick very quickly. And there's no other solution for quickly accessing water.
• Cold
How would humans cope with the cold? I don't think there's much fur, especially in Germany. However, since humans are naked, they need something to keep them warm.
Can you think of anything else? Could you perhaps also say whether all of my arguments are correct, or what do you see as critical?
Toddlers out in winter?
in this country there are also some bans on this….for example, without fire is not enough! Then it won’t.
in other regions Scandinavia would be possible. You should be able to shoot…(the fungus and berries density is currently very low)
The most important is a dry sleep/living place.
I do not see water in Central Europe as the biggest problem. I think that there are enough sources to supply drinking water.
in nutrition, the most promising possibility would be a mix of fish and plants if we thought that all the domesticated animals were consecrated on another planet in the same instant of homelessness.
in the case of nutrition, the main focus must be on preservation, otherwise the first winter is also the last.
I don’t want to do it, but I think who is already fighting a large part as self-sufficiency, would at least have a lot to know what it could do.
Can you kill a wild boar, hoot it, break it, make a fire to fry his meat and cook water?
Me neither. These skills are no longer necessary so they will simply forget. The answer is no. This would not be possible with the sheer number of people.
There is no ‘Wildnis’ in D! Even large protected forests are actually cultural landscapes! There would certainly not be enough wild animals and plants to survive! We are not trained for this!
In ancient forests, or on lonely islands, there are still isolated peoples who can do this. And in such an environment it can also be ‘civilized’ people who are trained accordingly!
It will certainly give some people who would then be able to survive, yes clear!
An acquaintance of me landscape gardener would be.safe.
He knows what to eat in the forest. Where water is, etc.
And clearly one would have to join small groups again
.
Older and sick would probably have the ass card, newborns would have to have priority
Some people will make it. Especially those in Equator-nears. It’s pleasantly warm.
I think, but not in the masses
People who live near nature can. Especially those with good survival training. It becomes hard for big city children who think that fish swim through the water as sticks.
What do you want to feed on in winter?
