However, what we really should be asking ourselves is this: would we know how to survive if we ever really ended up stranded? There are many misconceptions that float around the survival-themed blogosphere. Can you survive a deadly deserted island?
This quiz was expert reviewed by survivalist Joel Van der Loon. Joel’s experience in becoming a survival instructor began from childhood growing up in South Africa and Tanzania, East Africa - in particular, living off the grid on an isolated stretch of tropical coastline of wild bush, hosting an array of animal species.

He’s hiked, camped, trained and paddled in just about every type of ecosystem including the desert, alpine, and jungle. He is a passionate nature and animal lover and a sucker for adventure.
