Survival Quiz: You Are The Unluckiest Hunter In The World
In this armchair test of your survival skills, we're going to get you lost, we're going to keep you lost, and as you struggle back to safety we're going to throw a few roadblocks in your path -- a rattlesnake, say, or maybe a grizzly. It's fun and games, sure, but anyone who has watched the news lately knows that getting lost or stranded in wilderness can have tragic results. This may be the trail of the unluckiest hunter the world has known, but survival, in real life, has very little to do with luck.
