    Inside the earths mantle, so I would die instantly. There’s a couple different TV shows that show that even the most confident and capable survivalists won’t last very long in the wild. Even if I had that hubris, I still wouldn’t want to be alone.

    No ID also?

    Probably something like a Scandinavian country with a good social safety net. It might be tough to get citizenship, but at least I might have a chance to survive that long.

    Start from nothing means “zero money” and “zero reputation”?

    Then pretty close to where I live now, that’s southern Germany, because in the nearby city I can easily get some nice jobs in software. Would have no good room to live ofc because the decent ones are ridiculously expensive.

    The Ozarks.

    I know the environment, the predators, the prey, all of it very well.

    it would give me the best chance for survival. shelter is abundant. food is abundant. water is abundant. can’t ask for more.

      That’s a pretty beautiful region in the US yea. I wonder though, you’d probably want to be starting out in May though, if you started in December you’d be off to a bad start.

    Exactly where I am at right now. I’m pretty frugal; started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

    I have been told that in tropical places there is an abundance of food, so over there is ideal, but there’s also mosquitos and disease and it’s not an environment i’m familiar with.

    Probably somewhere really remote but near to human settlement - easier to get casual work, hopefully?? Because less available workforce?

    The sensible answer is probably "somewhere with good social safety net’ like The Neterpherlands or Sweden.

    And if we think “wilderness survival” situation, the only answer for me would be somewhere temperate or sub arctic because those are the environments i’m familiar with; europe woukd be nice, but is there anywhere truly remote there?

      Yea I was thinking something like Lake Malawi honestly. But yea, in the case of being able to make contact with local people and be like “Hey I have absolutely nothing what can I do to help?” would probably be Zürich Switzerland, in which case I’d get deported back to the United States. 😂

    This is just a guess, but probably somewhere in the Caribbean.

    If you can get along a beach, you could probably wander around and find places to sleep when needed, and scavenge for food. Tourists love to spend too much on “local crafts” so if you could get halfway decent at weaving palms or carving coconuts, you might be able to kick off a career.

    I’m with Costco guy. Minus humanity, or human artifacts, I’d probably go for Hawaii. The lack of predators would make the isolation and limited resources survivable.
