If your salary is 3k, then the +10k looks tempting
If your salary is 20k, then the +10 is kinda meh

We all know /k is 20k minimum, so nobody is going to take up your offer laugh.gif

Making a proper place to sleep is already a problem. I dont think I can survive for 60days

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.

X is how much you earn in a month.

1. You have to commute work,
deal with problems involving people and
deal with family members as soon as you reached home from work.
Sometimes you have to deal with work at home.
The only thing separating you from an empty stomach is how lazy you are in preparing your own or driving outside.
You get only X*2.

2. You are totally alone for 2 months.
No emails, no Whatsapp, no phone calls.
The only thing separating you from an empty stomach is your skill at catching fish.
You get X*2.
You also get Rm10k after 2 months.

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

If I can do this in the past,
I'm surely can at least do the same on that island

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
