That would depend. I know more than the minimum about growing stuff, and I can recognize quite a few edible plants and quite a few poisonous ones, so I'd probably be okay in the plant food department for a while. I also have enough of a grasp of basic mechanics that I could probably rig some kind of trap for small animals if necessary (and very hungry.) I suppose it would depend on how many tools I had on hand. "Hatchet" style, with just an axe, I doubt I'd manage very well. But if I were allowed to raid my library, a gardening centre, and a hardware store, even for only what I could carry myself, I could probably manage during the warmer months.

Winter? All bets are off.

Why, when I was in MI, they dropped us from a hovercraft in the Canadian Rockies with naught but a smatchet. I flunked because I liked it so much that I forgot the course was timed. Yellow Belly Marmot sashimi is some darned good stuff. Plus there were these mushrooms you see.

Naw, I kid. I was never in the Mobile Infantry. It was actually a fraternity prank over Spring Break.
