Add a digit, you might get more positive answers. RM 10k is hardly worth risking life for these days

Well then I'm not interested at all. I'm not hard pressed for cash to want to risk myself in the wilderness.

Unless...
- If I get the RM 10k prorated on hourly basis (definite reward)
- The island has 0 risk of encountering venomous stuff and life threatening predators (low stress environment)
... Then I can consider going for a bit, treating it like a holiday at nature and bail the moment I have enough of the wild. Probably gonna fire the flare gun on touchdown just to experience an overnight trip lol, so even if I don't find freshwater source, at least I won't die.
In the absence of stress, I think I have a bit of creative mind to be able to do something silly with leaves and sands to pass time, also maybe have hours to myself to reflect on past and future.

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
