Huck Finn-Beyond The Line #1

Question:
How would you feel if you had to survive being by yourself in the woods and water?

I couldn't imagine being in the woods or traveling the open sea in a canoe by myself, especially at night. I would be afraid and I would feel lonely because I'm from the city so I wouldn't be use to traveling in those conditions. I think I would mostly be scared of the darkness of the night sky. The stars might help somewhat but I would still need to see where I'm going. There would be a lack of food for me when I'm traveling. I would have to be a savage looking for a source of protein. Where would I sleep and lay when I feel lazy? I might have to sleep on a hard rock. Then the vicious animals in the woods would try to harm me. I might have a heart attack being around those evil animals for too long.

I don't know about you, but I need food to survive. I couldn't picture not having food or having just little food to eat. I wouldn't know what natural foods were safe to eat and what ones are harmful. I would probably make the dumb mistake and eat a black beetle, thinking it was a blackberry. If I happened to find some food, I wouldn't know how long I was expected to live off of it. Huck Finn is good with his hands and have nature skills so there would be no problem finding food. This is because he lives in the woods and is trained to be an expert in supplying himself with needs. In the city, I would just go to the local supermarket and get foods that I know are healthy.

When I feel tired, I go in my bedroom, turn off the lights, and lay in my fluffy bed. In the woods or water, there isn't any bed or other type of comforting shelter I could lay on. I would most likely have to gather vines and branches to get a little sense of comfort, how gross. Huck Finn slept in a narrow canoe and in a spot in the woods, but I wouldn't dare sleep knowing I'm in the middle of nowhere. My clothes would get all wet and muddy. And my hair, oh my gosh, it would look like a frizzy hairball. Then I would have no place to shower, so I would be expected to wash in the river. I would feel like a big bum.

Some animals are cute and loveable, others such as bears and snakes are nerve-wrecking. If I were traveling through the woods and saw an animal that I don't like, I would scream and try to run. I don't know how to react in the proper way to many animals so I would probably become bait. Huck Finn on the other hand lived around animals and hunted for them. He would know what to do in an animal situation. What if a bear came up to me and sniffed me? Would I run or just stand there until it was done? Maybe a poisonous snake would wrap itself around my legs so tight that I couldn't move. I would have to try my hardest to get away or I would be dead. Animals would be a huge fear while I'm trying to survive outdoors.

City life and nature life don't mix. If you live in the city, you become aware and pleased with shopping for food, having proper shelter, and not having to deal with wild creatures. I think I would lose it if I were forced to live in the nature life, but I would have to find a way. Huck Finn proved he is physically and emotionally able to survive in the wildlife. I would definitely take lessons from him because he has tremendous experience. I would also train him to live in the city and actually survive. For now, I'm okay with living in the city and wouldn't change it for anything. You may be able to take the girl out the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl.
