I'd protect my family. Even though I work with a camping organization for kids, I'd still suck on my own.
what about tell your family how to survive and tell them if you don't listen to me then you will probably die. group of people is better than 1 person in any survival strategy
In a group where each person can bring a different survival skill to the table (ie. medic, gardener, etc) then yeah a group might be better. But other than that, there really is no benifit. That just means more mouths to feed, more people to take care of, less stealth, bigger shelters, more fighting/drama, etc Omega369
I live halfway across the planet, so realistically, I wouldn't have the opportunity to protect them. Being so far from family in a scenario like that would kill me every day. Hacking it solo for the rest of my days isn't in me. I need the company, lest I pull a Tom Hanks and befriend a volleyball.
I believe family is whom I receive Unconditional love from and I'll die staying with those people if I'm with the people I love I won't care how long I survive time is an illusion
