Welcome to Gaia! ::

Info--
From the beginning of time, man has been hunting game for food and supplies. Every part of the animal had a use, every animal was game. All but man himself was a target in terms of consumption and supply.

Nobody mentioned for sport. The theme of the month is to prepare you for the unexpected, and nothing is as unexpected as a hunter turning on his fellow man for no other reason than satisfaction of death. So, how would you survive?







Tactics--
* If for whatever reason you decide to accept his request, you will be given time to prepare before you go. Use this time wisely as it may be the last "free" time you'll ever have. You will need to be able ghost walk, set traps, climb trees, know how to listen to the forest, hear the slightest sound, sneak up on someone, fire a weapon, be knowledgeable in combat training (armed and unarmed), perform advanced wilderness survival/first aid and be constantly aware of your surroundings. If you cannot do all of these, either decline the request or kill yourself at the first opportunity as you will not survive.
* you'll need to pack light as you'll have to be able to move fast and low (while staying quiet) at the slightest moment.
* If you manage to survive the hunt and kill him, you should then leave immediately. Make your way to his mansion and take his Jeep. Before leaving, make sure it has fuel (including extra jugs) and its fuel lines and other systems are intact. you may then leave. what you do after leaving the estate is up to you.
* Wait it out. (He may get bored eventually. Just evade him as long as possible, and never ever go near him or his mansion.)
* Trap and kill him. (Classic. Even if he's expecting it, it's a tried and true method.)
* Take him on. (Only if he's alone. Even one of his dogs can offset the balance. If needed, pick off the rest of his gang. Don't do this unless you're good in hand-to-hand, as he'll most likely go for a knife fight.)
* Give up. (Only if you're a girl. Tell him right off the bat you're terrible at this stuff and there's no way he's going to hunt you. If he refuses, when he kicks you out, stand by the entrance to his mansion and complain. Don't attempt to find food or water.)
* If you're feeling lucky and there are no cameras... you could even hide really close to his house and sneak in and steal some supplies.
* In case he has dogs, try and make a pitfall with some scraps of clothing on top.
* after doing the above, try to walk in a stream following it for a good while so as to throw of the scent
* If a stream is unavailable try and mask your scent in any way possible.
* Failing THAT, you can try and hide in the pitfall in some way.
* You can try hiding in some mud (with mud covering you) and take him down if he steps over you.
* You can try hiding in some mud (with mud covering you) and take him down if he steps over you.
* IF we actually had some serious forewarning, it's best just to say you're out with your NRA-loving parents hunting some KKK people. If you weren't aware of this, you'd likely have your gun, which would likely be taken from you early on. That's IF he didn't say, "Oh, Gerald, don't worry, I've got plenty!" IF he says that, insist that you bring your own. Loaded and safety on. Seriously.
* don't walk in a straight line
* if you have to climb a tree don't use your feet because it will leave scratch marks and mud on the side of the tree
* you should darken your clothes with dirt and mud
* try not to leave an obvious trail by breaking and cutting leaves and branches
* if you are given enough extra time try to create a decoy path this will give you more time if he falls for it but ONLY atempt this if you have time.
* try to trick him
* always asume he has already thought of what ever you are trying or that someone has tryed it before. you can't let yourself get over confident

Tools--
* A large backpack will only be a hindrance. With this in mind, I would personally choose a small or medium sized messenger bag that attaches to the belt loops of your pants.
* Next you'll need a ghille suit, which will assist with camo.
* As with all other survivals, you will need a knife, I recommend a Chris Reeve's survival knife due to their quality and features.
* You will also need a good pair of binoculars, to assist with recon. However, you MUST have a camo binoculars with a non metal construction, black will be a dead give away in daylight and metal will shine more then plastic.
* You can use youre survival knife but if you are disarmed and escape you're ******** if you cant retrieve the knife, so you may want to carry a second knife to use as a side arm. For a projectile weapon I recommend using a crossbow, they're light, quiet, and require a lot less training to use then a traditional bow or gun. They also have smaller projectiles then normal bows, and lighter projectiles then a gun.
* You are going to need light clothing that is loose but far from baggy. as long as it is camo, I don't have much advice for your shirt. your pants, however, need to be cargo with camo that is of better quality then the simple blue jean cargo pants, these will allow extra space for equipment and ammunition, saving space in your bag. Your shoes should be hiking boots of at least mediocre quality to prevent pain from twisted ankles and the like. You may also want to wear a flak jacket for mild protection and cargo, and place body armor beneath your shirt, whether you find stab proof or bullet proof to be more useful is your call.
* A small first aid kit could very well save your life, carry it with you as if you'll die without it, because you probably will. it should include: an antiseptic, antibiotics, bandages, etc.
* Smoke pellets are also handy, they provide cover when cornered and are easy to transport
* a cell phone with the ability to take photos/videos, and then send them to everyone I love so they know who did it. I may not survive, but I will take them down with me.
* bring plenty of water or sports drinks like gatorade.
* Rope (So many uses... Setting traps, making shelter... A must have.)
* Warm Clothes (Lighting a fire will signal your position, so you'll have to make do without.)
* Bug Spray (Hey, bugs suck. Especially 'skeetoes.)
* Book (Preferably a joke book, so at an odd time of bore you can have a laugh and forget about how terrible your life currently is.)
* Candles and Waterproofed Matches (Just in case you want to cook something, as you can't light large fires. To waterproof a match, simply dip it in wax.)
* Gun (If you can't do it and don't want HIM to kill you... And don't know how to make a noose.)
* a shovel
* food

Wow, that's great advice Azekeal. *Makes a list of supplies*

Not that I would be ever stupid enough to accept, but I'm moreso worried the whole "being kidnapped/forced" bit. I doubt anyone besides the best would be able to survive.

Stupid hunters cheat.

I guess I would be the one with a cell phone with the ability to take photos/videos, and then send them to everyone I love so they know who did it. I may not survive, but I will take them down with me. twisted

gotta start watching mantracker again. i saw some people on that show with shoes that had footprints that pointed behind you


bring plenty of water or sports drinks like gatorad.


so if im being hunted by a man i dont suppose that i can seduce him with my womanly charms? XD

Well although the manhunt thrill is for challenging prey, they may think an unarmed civilian is difficult enough.

In this case:

In case he has dogs, try and make a pitfall with some scraps of clothing on top.

after doing the above, try to walk in a stream following it for a good while so as to throw of the scent

If a stream is unavailable try and mask your scent in any way possible.

Failing THAT, you can try and hide in the pitfall in some way.

You can try hiding in some mud (with mud covering you) and take him down if he steps over you.

If your feeling lucky and there are no cameras... you could even hide really close to his house and sneak in and steal some supplies.


WHATEVER you do, don't play dead... he could be a Double-Tap kinda guy.

Girl? I'm planning on surviving, damn it all. I know some wussy guys after all.


Not really. Only if he was not gay but loved animals in THAT way.

Always assume the double-tap is business as usual.

Cellphones probably won't work, and if it did, there was a chance the guy stole it right off you before you left.

IF we actually had some serious forewarning, it's best just to say you're out with your NRA-loving parents hunting some KKK people. Why would you go from home PREPARED for this crap? Call the damn police! The NSA would have a wiretap on your phone!

If you weren't aware of this, you'd likely have your gun, which would likely be taken from you early on. That's IF he didn't say, "Oh, Gerald, don't worry, I've got plenty!" IF he says that, insist that you bring your own. Loaded and safety on. Seriously.

I'm the type that I would refuse to run away. I'd sit outside in plain view and refuse to give him the pleasure of chasing me. I probably wouldn't stand a chance out in the woods so if he's going to kill me he's just going to have to do it without actually hunting me.

True 'Nilla. Having basic survival skills which rivals that of regular hunting and gathering peeps will save your a**.

Unless you're Lucie and just stand there waiting for him to kill or let you go. I'm sure that'd make a great story if you survived.
