You're dropped off in the artic in near winter NAKED.....

Where are you going to find any wood or grass? There's no vegetation there. It's tundra. No trees.
Or is there tress because that picture was a desolate, wasteland.

Being psychic, I'd know what the plan was before I got in the helicopter and so arranged to be picked up immediately in the arctic by friends with clothes and another helicopter to meet me. Then, with everything else set up, I;d go to the hotel and relax for a few days and then finish it all off by the last day.

Or I'd call my UFO mates to beam me to their ship, destroy the helicopter, abduct Branson and I'd take his place.

My solutions are as silly as your conundrum.

Hi.

I had to login just to comment, as i find this scenario straight from fiction-land. As i do live in arctic zone in Finland, i am very familiar with hazards of freezing.

No matter what, if you're naked, outside at winter, you will freeze to death and there is NO exceptions.

Best chances are:

Dig a hole into snow, then kill an animal and take shelter from that. Rinse and repeat while you move along toward the finish line.

On a sidenote, i find it very disturbing that people cannot comprehend the fatality of low temperatures. It's no joke.

Heat is a matter of life and death. I would bet that Alaskan people are familiar with this Live in arctic zone and you will know this.


EDIT:

If you're into mathematics, i believe this is also a simple mathematics: the amount of heat that body can generate versus the cooling effect of surrounding air. Moreso, if you run, i don't think that your body does compensate the cooling effect from the freezing wind towards your body.

He will not survive.

I would Make a Man sized snowman, hollow out the inside then climb in...Snow is a great Insulator, then i would walk..(in my snowman suit) repairing the suit when i need to as i have the materials all around, towards the Gulag to see what i could find....that as far as i've got.....what do i find in the Gulag. ?


Hey, it might just work..

There's only one option, and two people have stated it.

You must disarm your captors and take control of the helicopter...

...just like James Bond would

alright ladies and gentlemen
first of as the story goes im am an elite best of the best
in a helicopter say with 2 pilots and maybe 2 guards who are just ex military now working as they private security
point a gun at me to undress me
first reaction is to disarm and evacuate the helicopter safe and with a weapon and hopefully a body or 2 for clothing and supply reasons.
now story goes "200 miles north of the coast in the artic ocean" that we say is "Chukotka" region
well known for hash environment, secret military bases, mining, friendly native people lots of unknown and 2 small airports out of there "Ugolny Airpor & Pevek Airport" unless you stumble across a mining area which will have its own airport
7 days by foot running or not you would only make max 50km - 70km before you stretch your legs out and roll over
from memory you remember "old abandon destroyed gulag (work camp)" if its abandon like most other abandon things in russia it should have a working vehicle or a broken communication system
vehicle scenario - drive to town
comm syst. scenario - call in a favor from that crazy russian general you ever thought youll speak to again (now listen before you all go "what crazy general?" remember you aint the very best till you served with a russian)
now that you at the air port you have a 3 day flight to Sydney with 2 stops (moscow dubai sydney)
identifying your self wasnt as easy as you would of liked but with a lil help from your russian friend things turned out for the best
so you lost 2 days in chukotka 3 days in flight 1 day catching up with your old friend general dimitry in moscow. where you acquired your self the armani suit, two russian speaking girls, multiple passports and a small present from the dimitry that you promised to return with a small cash interest a Mont Blanc Limited Edition Pen (what can i say other then Russians)
now that your in sydney the penthouse was a small computer error that put the current tenant back on the street due to late rent payment
so is there you have it gents 1mil a year and a 10mil bonus witch only kept 3 of due to the lil help you gained


peace

Scenario 2..

Or i would Rub two Cheeks together creating enough friction to set my arse hairs on fire, then i would make smoke signals in the hope some Locals out clubbing seals would see the signals and come rescue me..

Scenario 3...

I would Make a Helicopter out of snow and Fly the F@%~ out of there.

All just as plausible as a 60k hike in the Buff in the Artic tundra...

bunch of cry babies! You think you can make it to the abandon Gulag. Get your glasses this is the "survival" forum not the "sissy" forum.

Never fear, Superwino will save the day!

"*Neeeeerrrrrrrfhwoooooaaaarswoooop* Crikey. You're nude!"

*awkward silence*

*Whooosssh* Superwino lifts you off to safety!

*cue Superwino theme*

Easy. On landing hijack the helicopetr. Dump the crew in the abandoned gulag.
Fly the Helicopter to civilasation. Sell it and get say $200,0000. Take that money and buy 2 Russian female escorts, a Armani suit and use the rest to bribe a person with a reservation at the hotel to give the room to me. O and buy a couple of ID and passports off Silk Road

If I have enough money left over I would take a trip to Zambia and bribe the guards (Africa police are corrupt) to stand down while I pinch the pen. If not I will leave the pen and just take the $1million bonous.

Hey, it might just work..

You would waste too much time getting snow together (although it's abundant) to make said snowman. You'd start feeling freezing as soon as your left the Heli. Your best bet is to get back on the heli or dig quickly.

My name isn't Otzi the iceman. I'd never be in the situation you described.

reply to post by spartacus699


It's quite easy actually. You already have 1 million in your bank.

Dig a hole in snow to survive one or two hours until the Russians come. Promise a $500k bribe if they take you to a closest bank. Buy 2 russian escorts and hire a private jet to Sydney. Buy the pen on eBay and have it shipped to Sydney.

Did I forget anything else?

reply to post by spartacus699


This could be any kind of forum you like, but even the hardest bastards ever born would be dead after a maximum of fifteen minutes in that temperature range with no protectives on what so ever! I do not give a fig if you are talking about Sir Ranauph Finnes, or the strongest recruit ever adopted by the SAS, the SEAL teams, or any special forces nutbag for that matter.

The fact is, that human beings have NO survival capability in that environmental scenario without significant thermal defenses, i.e. clothes, and even then would require shelter, food, and equipment in order to survive even one night there, let alone a sixty k trek through the snow and ice, which incidentally, would take an awful lot longer in arctic terrain than it would in the warmer reaches. For one thing progress in that environment is slower because ones footing is less sure. Snow can cover the ice in various thicknesses, and the ice is rarely a sheer flat surface underneath, so walking sixty k on rough, obscured terrain, even wearing the full gear would be a significantly dangerous undertaking.

Also, in order to progress from that point onward and out of the frozen wastes altogether would be a significant undertaking, requiring a constant addition of high calorie meals, designed to really force fat into your body, to give you something to burn. One of the most important things about arctic expeditions is getting the nutrition right, because if you do not, it does not matter how good your gear is, how wonderful your tent is, or the quality of the dog team you may have with you. You WILL die unless you eat enough food, get enough energy to fire your bodies powerplant. You WILL get frostbite and loose your fingers, hand, arm, if you leave your glove off for too long. There IS no way to survive unless you have those things, it does not happen because it cannot happen.

And thats why the sons of bastards in the aircraft would have been dismayed to find that I would force them to fire their guns in an aircraft, by making a concerted effort to kill them all and bathe in their heart blood before they ever got me near the door.

LOL I think we might have a winner here!

Well here's how I would do it....

I'd walk to the gulag. There I'd find enough old rags and stuff to fashion some rudimentary clothing. I'd try and build extra thick layers of clothing. I'd use what I could find there to start a fire and find a warm dry room that is still functional as a base and use that as shelter. I'd search the premesis for old cans of food. If there wasn't anything then I'd fashion some basic traps or primative hunting weapons out of whatever I could find. I'd catch some of the small game that likely would be using the old building as their home. So for dinner I'd feast on a stew made of wild rabits and mushrooms I found growing. I'd dehydrate some of the meat from the small game and stow that away in a backpack I made out of old material that was still at the camp. Then I'd try and find some old russian map and get an idea of where I was, and or I'd locate various old rail lines or roads that went to the gulag. I'd gain my barings using a shadow compass to find which way is north. And I'd try and create a basic compass that uses a needle floating on water which I could take with me to more quickly orient myself if needed. If not then I'd use the stick method. I'd get all my gear together. By this time I would have fashioned complete winter gear, a backpack full of dehydrated meats and jug of water. A face mask, mits, boots, and a pair of eskimo style glasses so that I wouldn't get snowblind. I'd follow the road or rail line in a southernly direction. It would likely stop at a near by village at some point. I'd make it to the village. But since they're looking for me I'd have to just go into the villiage at night and seek out random supplies, food, and possibily a place to hide out in a vacant building where I could get shelter for a night. Then I'd look for some further southernly road or rail lines. I'd focus on getting some vehicle to use this time. Either a snowmobile, or possibly a car, or even just a pair of cross country skis. I'd continue to make my way south where I'd make it to the next small town. There I'd do the same thing. Sneaking around at night. I'd find some better clothes and food and possibly some money and a map. now I'd know exactly where I was. I'd Find a better vehicle to take me further south to the next big city. There I'd get to a local internet cafe and try and link up with some hacker. I'd explain that I'd transfer cut them a deal of paying them a large sum of money if they could help me get on a plane. I'd give them part of the signing bonus money I already have. Plus some more once they help me get everything I need and get down to Sydney. I'd also explain that I'd need him to dig up any dirt on the billionaire that I could use as leverage in case he didn't deliver on his end of the bargain when I got to sydney. I'd then take out some of 10k that I need. I'd contact an ex Sputsnav agent and explain to them that I'd pay them a small amount up front, and a giant amount, like 1 million dollars upon delivering the pen to me in Sydney as long as they could do it in 3 days. The hacker would get me the ID's and arrange for a private jet or transport plane to take me from a small town on a routine delivery flight as an extra copilot in training on the manafest. I'd get to sydney where I'd see if the russian agent was able to get me the Pen I needed. The day before the meeting I'd go buy the suit I needed. I'd then go to the hotel and explain that I work for a famous actor who's going to be coming in for a night, and that they need to juggle things around to ensure that actor gets the penthouse suite for at least 1 night. If that doesn't work I'd get someone from the local health and sanitation department, I'd brib them to go and place a temporary vacate order on that floor for at least 1 day while they inspect for mold, at which time I'd gain access to the unit. I go to the local russian night club and meet a couple of babes the night before the meeting. I'd explain to them that they can acompany me to the signing tomorrow but instruct them not to speak any english only russian if asked anything. So then I'd make it to the signing. I'd ask them to transfer the remaining signing bonus prior to signing. After that was done I'd ask them to transfer my first years pay over before signing as well. I'd explain that I'd wish to gather the evidence they had on me, if they told me they're not going to give it over, and or it seemed as if they actually had something then I'd explain how I happened to know about certain things that someone had over the head of the billionaire (that the hacker let me in on). And tell them as long as I got all the evidence they faked about me out of the way then I'd be sure to do my best to make sure that evidence I had disappeared as well. And I'd explain that should any unforeseen thing happen to make that instructions were sent to multiple parties to release the evidence I had to the authorities in regard to the billionaires dealings. After I'd get started in my new role working for the umbrella corporation. And my first assignment was to go on ATS to test and see if anyone else had the means to also get out of the artic and around the world, and if they did that they were to be recruited by me as another special agent for the company for the same signing bonuses. But since no one was able to complete the assignment I get to keep the extra signing bonus. Okay there, now you understand how to do it ok!

Im surprised no one has said Pray

If you are about to die of cold, why not give it a whirl?


Jesus might come down on his golden shining turbo diesel eagle winged snowmobile and whisk you off to safety.

I have a scenario for you....well it's a survival contest, but just for fun....(please read)

You have a job interview with a powerful Billionaire businessman. It's kinda like Richard Brandson's Quest For The Best - Revisited! The job is to be a key player in his organization, handling a variety of business matters, hob nobing with the worlds elite, jet setting around the world, and being paid 1 million per year with a 10 year contract on the table, with the option to renew for a second term at the end of the time. You've passed all the interviews. They've accepted and you've accepted, and to prove they're sincerity they've placed a signing bonus of 1 million in your bank account.

So you just agreed to work for them. Now you're flying in there private helicopter in a remote stretch of the Siberian Artic. Nothing below but snow and ice. But without your prior knowledge, they have 1 final challenge for you to prove you can handle most any scenario that life throws your way....

With guns drawn on you, you're told if you don't take the final challenge that they're gonna drop you off naked, 200 miles north of the coast in the artic ocean. So you have no choice, you say "okay I'll take the challenge" (at least hoping not to end up dead)

You're to be dropped off in the artic in near winter NAKED with nothing what so ever! There's only small rolling hills around and snow and ice. The only thing you remember is seeing out the helicopter window, an decrepit old abandon destroyed gulag (work camp) you passed over, which you think is about 60kms back the way you were flying. So you think it might offer a chance, but you're sure at best you'll only find some old rags at best. You're also told that the russian authorities have an APB out on you, and are also going to be told of your location of drop off in 1 hour.

(You're here: farm6.staticflickr.com... )

(the gulag: www.krohn-photos.com... )

You're told that in order to get the job you have to make it to the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Sydney Australia in 7 days. And if you don't arrive evidence to a murder that you didn't commit with your finger prints will be sent to Interpol and the Russian Police. If you arrive safely in Sydney you will be given the evidence and you're assured you will never be put threw any such similar initiation again.

But when you arrive in Sydney you must have:

1) Reservations in your name for their penthouse suite (which is currently booked solid til the year 2023).

2) You must have two very sexy female companions by your side that only speak Russian.
(or if you're female, then male companions).

3) You must be dressed in an expensive Armani Suit (or if you're female a Armani dress or equivalent)

4) 20k dollars in your wallet and more than one passport and ID.

5) Also if you can produce a one of a kind Mont Blanc Limited Edition Pen used by the former President of Zambia currently known to be located in Lusaka national museum in Zambia Africa, (under minimal security) , and are able to sign the final contract with that pen, then you will receive a signing bonus of 10 million dollars. (but if you don't have that pen then you still need a Bic Pen.)

Then at that point you will meet this billionaire who's sort of like Richard Brandson and sign to be his employee.

Now you're job is to explain your strategy from getting from your location in the Russian artic to Sydney in 7 days. And if someone posts a post no one can copy their ideas. The best post will be choosen and be the winner of the contest and be the "Sole Survivor" and we will all be in awehh of your brilliant james bond like survival prowis!

OKAY THERE.....So explain what you'd do to pull this off ?????,
and we'll see who has the best explaination ha ha ....

Okay. I would take off full speed to the gulag, one there I would find somthing to wear. Anything that can keep the cold out. Then I would dimantle the gulag, and take some of the boards to make snow shoes. If there were enough rags I would the snow shoes to my feet and start hiking. I would probably come across a town. I would beg for mercey and few beers to warm up. Once at the mercy of a villager, I would ask for a bic pen. I would write my social sec. number down and sell it with my good credit for 50k. Then I would use the money for the armani suit, two hookers who speak nothing but russian and some vodka to keep them drunk.

I would then charter a plan to Sydney, walk up to the hotel slap down some of the money to someone who could get me the penthouse room. Then I would sell the two drunk hookers for the passport and id, after asking my buyer if he knew someone. Hookers ditched I have the penthouse and 20k left over, plus the passport and Id.

Suck it science.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that like spys and other extremely elite types are trained to take on these types of challenges.
