About This Quiz

If you've ever watched Bear Grylls on the popular TV show "Man vs. Wild," then you've probably learned a thing or two about surviving in the wilderness. But don't be fooled by how easy Bear makes it look, because trying to survive on your own is no easy feat. Unless you're already a survival expert like Bear himself, that is!

Before you take this wild quiz, let's go over a few tips that may help you in the future. For starters, it's important to recognize when you're having a panic attack. It's normal to feel lost and scared when you're all alone, and when that happens, the human body may start shaking, sweating and causing you to feel nausea. So remember, the more you remain calm in the wilderness, the more likely you are to survive. It's also essential to observe the weather, which may change at any given moment. Sunglasses, proper shoes and warm clothing will all help during extreme hot or cold temperatures. There's also a saying about the wilderness, which is to "stay found." If you understand your current location by using a map, compass or the sun's position in the sky, then you'll increase your likelihood of surviving. It's now time to put your knowledge to the test with this wilderness quiz!
