i would
do whatever i can to beat nature…. good thing i watched plenty of man vs wild to give me tips on how to survive :)
how would i beat mother nature?
I would build myself a nice bunker, to hunker down in.
beat it
with father time
Survive Nature
TO survive, I would stay warm, eat survival food & find clean water. I would also think about things in perspective so as not to be disturbed mentally about the situtation.
Tiger blood
…well not tiger blood. but wolf blood. i’d kill one of em and keep some of the skin for warmth and the blood so they wouldn’t sniff my humaness and eat me.
Ever see ALIVE...
Survival of the fittest as they say. In all seriousness, I would do my best to stay warm, make a flare or S.O.S. sign, and try to work together as a team to keep EVERYONE alive.
Nature?
Well, as it is hard enough to survive nature its certainly one of the most daunting & difficult tasks to beat..but as time as shown, humans have managed to survive & conquer. Trust your instincts, stay sharp and focus on survival.
How to Survive Mother Nature
I would hunt down any animal that came in my way, preferably with broken-off liquor bottles like Liam Neeson :)
Surviving Mother Nature
I would find any leaves I could to insulate myself in case of cold. Locate any stream of water I could find. If any. Living off the land I’d have to experiment with what’s editable. In case of danger, I’d have to craft crude weapons from tree branches & rocks. My shelter would be wherever I could find it.
The American way
Shotguns lots of shotguns
