You think your employer will let you take 2 months leave to play stupid games to win stupid prizes?

There is a reason why people pay way more than 2 months salary + 10k......

Making shelter is the easiest part.

Getting food and water will be the hardest. Though for 60 days, depending on how fat you are, you might not need that much food. Just need to survive.

If X is 20k, means after 2 months its 40k+10k. If they didn't do your stupid challenge, how also they still get 40k. The 10k is just 25% extra of what they are normally earning, doesn't justify the difference.
If X is 5k, after 2 months its 10k+10k, easily doubling your usual income, so makes sense to take the challenge.

All those things you mention in (1) are not even problems.

After reading TS answer, I understand now the whole point of the thread...: TS has good theories on surviving in the wilderness, levels way above /k level. Silly me thinking this was a social experiment to assess risk aversion, loneliness meter, work stress yada2...

Normal city dwellers like most forumers here won't be equipped with the theories, much less practical experiences, so majority view the challenge as life threatening, making the reward a measly amount.

Long story short: TS pro survivor lah we all noob

The only knowledge he exposed is he think RM10k is a lot of money, the same question could be posed without reward and you'll get better answers on how people would tackle the problem. Put the incentive there, and people would be like "huh, not worth my time" laugh.gif

Nice, but solo is very different than having a group with you. Maybe you've done solo 60 days before, then kudos to you. Though I don't think fapping is a good answer to the loneliness of solo survival laugh.gif

It was based on yesterday's post
It was intentional that I've picked RM10k.

It does not matter. You can do all these things yourself.
It just takes a little more effort and a vast ocean of loneliness to cope with.
More people, more things to carry, more mouth to feed.

Longest I've been camping and climbing mountains carrying all the food food and tent on my back - 6 days. Every night we camp to a different location
Longest I've been in the jungle only relying on gen set, canned food, dry food and rainwater - 6 weeks. I was stationed in an observation outpost. Then I went 6 more times every year but for a shorter 4 weeks. Back then monthly salary + RM2.5k allowances
