Despite watching Ray Mears programmes I only scored 60%. (Then again, had I not watched him I might only have got 25%!)

How would you get on?

I only got 50%... frown

THe worst part was, on some of them I had difficulty spotting the obvious "stupid" answer...

Congratulations, you passed with a score of 75%. Just brush up on what you missed and you'd make an excellent survivor.

I just hope I got the spider and snake questions correct!!

Yes, it would be a great shame to survive the night and complete a three course breakfast only to be bitten by a cobra...

Any connection to Castle Drogo?

80% - I am either going to die of mushroom poisoning or being eaten by a Hammerhead.

60% for me too!

After building my shelter in the wrong place, I then won't be able to start a fire because I mistook hardwood for softwood. Next I'll move on to eat the wrong things, whilst I'm struggling to make my own stone knife. I'm hoping I don't get lost in the desert, cold weather or sea otherwise I'm screwed, and if I do get lost I can't count on the North Star for help because I don't know how to find that either.

In all likelihood I'll just get eaten by a hammerhead on holiday.

70%, but I got wrong answers mainly because I've never been to an area with coral snakes and the only thing I know about sharks is that they taste good. I grew up walking in country and so on so know how to find good mushrooms, how to identify adders from grass snakes and more specific stuff to being rescued from a UK forest...

I also know some desert stuff from my dad working in the middle east and visiting there quite a bit.

90% but the next time I'm surfing in shark and coral snake infested waters next to a desert I'm toast.

I can live with that
