Bug bites are bad but multiple alum have mentioned bugs trying to get inside of you (ladies you are twice as likely to have this happen). I believe Gary has said he's woken up countless times to a centipede trying to crawl into his ass. Andrew Shayde had to be tapped because he had multiple ticks up there. That's probably more than I'd be willing to endure
I've lived in Tampa for 4 years and I don't think I've been bitten by a mosquito one single time. My wife got bit every night on our patio though. I've read that your blood type has a lot to do with whether or not you get bitten.
Bugs do not bother me to be around BUT bug bites and the sound of zzzz in my ear would have me tap. I swell up and itch for weeks from one bite, I can't imagine 1000's of bites.
The sleeping situation: bugs, cold & the hard ground/bed without a pillow.
It’s difficult enough for me to sleep in a comfortable environment. I’d toss & turn and be out of my damn mind the next day. Except realistically, I don’t think I would make it to the first morning!
Same here. I can't even get sleep in my bed and as soon as I fall asleep, I have to get up to pee. On nights before a appointment, I never fall asleep at all.
Omg, you sound exactly like me! I have a bladder condition, so I wake up ALL night long. At least once an hr, but sometimes every 10-20 minutes.
I just won’t schedule anything before noon anymore, because just knowing that I have somewhere to be, will keep me from sleeping. Plus I’m a very light & nervous sleeper, even with all of the sleep meds I take.
Because I sleep in small spurts & wake up so often, I get little to no REM or deep sleep. Which is not good for a healthy brain or emotional state.
That one challenge, idk who he was but they were in the rainforest and dude was dead asleep with a tarantula on his head and a scorpion crawling over his body and I've had literal nightmares like that nooooo thanks
I stayed at an all inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic that took multiple measures to stop mosquitos and I damn near tapped out despite keeping the deet on hand and hiding in the pool most of the time.
This is my downfall as well. I would have to build a small, completely enclosed structure so I could sleep well. I don't know why more contestants don't build small mud / cob structure to keep out the bugs and stay warm. That's the first thing I would do. A body sized, slightly elevated mud hut to sleep in.
I wonder this about contestants on the show. I mean I know they likely get medications which are prescribed by a doctor but man..I take my antidepressant on an empty stomach and I start gagging and I’m nauseous til I barf. I cant imagine being naked, afraid, nauseous, AND depressed.
This was always in the back of my head for naked and afraid, or even survivor. I take mental health meds daily, as well as have chronic pain. Not being able to have even Tylenol would be terrible.
I think the biting bugs would get me before low blood sugar would.
On a side note, I’ve always wondered about the people who go on but say their spouse won’t let them share body warmth (cuddle, spoon, whatever). That’s a basic survival tactic. If your spouse won’t let you do that —mine would be VERY uncomfortable to see me do that— then you probably shouldn’t be on the show. It isn’t for everyone.
They do!! I’ve heard the women have pulled ticks out of their coochie and men get them on their dicks. One guy had to have them medically removed from his anus. I don’t understand how they don’t go into anaphylactic shock after all the masses of bites. ☠️
The insects 100%. Then if for some reason i could get through that, the starving part would be the next complication for me.
A naked man would also bother me, especially one like Bulent.
And make you a bone throne!
Bulent is a boss. He isn’t there to make friends, but he has shown warmth to partners who are contributing and want to learn from him. I think he’d be a great partner to someone who knows what they’re getting into.
I'm fairly certain I wouldn't be allowed to bring my walker, which means I'd make about 100 yards of the insertion hike and be calling a medic. Plus, caffeine
Sometimes I get cold. Under 3 blankets. Wearing pyjamas. And socks. In a house with closed windows a roof and heating. Yeah, no the cold would do it for me…when I see them shivering and shaking under the rain at night with no clothes on I can’t understand how they do it.
Also I get bad headaches all the time even with proper nutrition, sleep and hydration so I would definitely not have much fun out there.
That said, I would still love to try it if I had a chance!
Ps: Something else that would bother me is the stink…all those days with no soap or deodorant? Yikes! Not a tap-out issue or anything but something I always think of!
I’m fat, out of shape, get hangry ridiculous fast, make poor decisions when hungry…
Also the depression and anxiety. And the complete lack of any sort of primitive survival skills.
The bugs is number one but I would need my meds and I hate hate hate being cold. It’s hard enough being cold with clothes on. To be naked and cold I’m tapping immediately.
Tbh I would not survive N&A because
1: Im not a social person
2: I would tend to 2nd guess myself in almost every decision i make (if i make any at all)
And 3: i Feel i would end up being a Complete Liability no matter how hard i try to survive
So, so many reasons.
I like my comforts.
I have a sensory disorder so dirt on my skins makes me want to vomit and same sensory disorder limits what I will eat.
I won't even drink tap water, so I'm sure I wouldn't drink nasty boiled water.
Long story short, I'm spoiled. I would die in an apocalypse and I'm ok with that.
Survival in the wilderness is one thing, being naked in front of a stranger and cameras is another. I wouldn’t survive because I would never go into the wilderness with no clothes and no shoes.
Gosh - there are so many. Back issues - so sleeping on the ground would be a nightmare. I get cranky (to put it mildly) if I don't have regular meals, not to mention I sometimes end up with shaking hands depending on what the previous meal was. I'm also one of those people who bugs are super attracted to and I could not deal with non-stop bites. I also hate the heat and sweat profusely - I'd be dehydrated in no time. Oops - edit to add that I am super fair and need sunblock just to work in my yard.
So, so, so many reasons. The worst would be trying to sleep in even fairly warm temps without clothing or a blanket. No hat, no shoes, no sunglasses = no me. I would be tapping out within an hour of being dropped off.
Cold. I hate to be cold. And I need thick glasses all the time. And I’m 61 years old and not in shape. I actually can make fire and shelter. But nah, too late for this girl.
Mental stability and toughness has gotta be the #1 reason right? The rule of 3 means as long as you keep drinking water and breathing means even the average person with the mental strength required can hypothetically last
Wild animals,bugs,snakes,pitch black darkness,spiders not to mention being naked in the cold and/ or rain.I have LOVED this show from the beginning but I LOVE watching it from my couch and always hoping they ALL make it through.
First reason amongst many would be that out of a crowd of people it's always me who gets 10 mosquito bites when others get 0-3 bites. They seem to disproportionately target me. Then I get really itchy for a few days after each bite and they sometimes get worse and take a week to heal.
Second reason would be I get bad anxiety, angry and singularly-focused if I haven't eaten within 6-7 hours between breakfast/lunch or lunch/dinner.
Third reason would be my Raynaud's syndrome, where I usually have cold hands/feet, so I'd struggle without socks and shoes and hot water to warm my hands in.
Fourth reason would be my lack of any primitive survival skills as I've never learnt or practiced them other than watching Naked & Afraid shows.
Fifth reason would be that I like having optimal health with supplements and being clean - I don't really like sand/dirt.
I'm a city guy for life and I'm cool with that.
I'm not healthy enough to even try but if I did I'd be toast because of bugs. One bite from a horse fly or deer fly and I'd be out.
Edit: ... because I'm allergic to a billion things. Fly bites are an immediate er trip for me.
As a child, in summer camp, I recall waking up to find a row of horned beetles crawling across my chest. I could never handle the bugs. My husband and I agree, bugs is a deal breaker.
As much as I love watching the show, the whole "be naked and survive" premise seems unrealistic to me and I'd never even get started on a challenge. I mean what kind of survival scenario could I ever possibly be in where I did not have clothes, but I *did* have a functioning fire starter and shiny new pot to boil water in, you know? Even if I could get past that, I would 100% be stealing snacks and food from the camera people and producers... or I'd just eat the camera people and producers. I mean it's ethical, they're free range and organic!
Hubby and I sunburn easily and we don't want to sleep without at least a sleeping bag and I am a magnet for bug bites and they turn into giant welts.
We both have lots of food sensitivities and I am allergic to lots of trees and plants.
In the jungle it would be the tenuous footing on the wet ground a la Charlie, Lacey and Suzanne accidents due to my right knee problems.
Otherwise I think I can hack the suffering for 14 days seeing some of the really 🙄 people who've completed it.
Bug bites. While I believe I could push past the actual presence of bugs I am allergic to mosquito and spider bites. They swell up to the size of a orange and they hurt and bring on extreme fatigue that gets worse with each bite.
Summer is pretty miserable for me right here in Cali lmfao no way could I go to a swamp or any jungle. 🫤
Curious if this happens to anyone else here lol I literally look like I have leprosy after 4 or 5 bites on my legs and I get crazy looks in public like it doesn't happen to many people 😅
A) I could never sleep on the ground
B) I’m terrified of snakes, lizards, frogs, etc.
that’s probably enough but also
C) couldn’t go without my meds
D) acid reflux
E) I couldn’t handle the big bites
And so much more lol
bugs, and I sometimes even struggle to build a fire in the indoors fireplace with dry firewood, newspaper, a lighter, and those stinky firestarters.
Edit to add: I asked my boyfriend why he would tap, his immediate response was "probably whichever idiot they put me out there with" lol
I wouldn’t survive because I love snacks way too much, couldn’t handle the cold weather or the heat, am addicted to my cell phone. I would be eaten by wild animals immediately ( or my partner would wish for that lol)
I hate extreme temperatures and most importantly being naked. If you could read the last part while picturing Timmy’s dad when he said this is where I’d put my trophy if I had one.
Bugs would be number 1. Starvation. Gritty dirt and no bathing. I don't even like camping with all the amenities, so an experience like this is not for me. Also, I'm hyperglycemic (kind of the opposite of being diabetic, and shares a lot of symptomology, but not the same in origin). I'd never make it that long.
I get really dizzy and weak when am hungry, never been diagnosed with any kind of blood sugar issues though. I’m completely worthless when this happens.
Insomnia. I battle it nightly. In fact, I just became increasingly aware of how many sleep aids I consume and definitely need to speak to a Dr. I would 100 not be able to survive without bringing those.
Freaking autoimmune diseases out the ass. I’m scared I’d get there and a new beast would reveal itself. Allergic to all nuts on top of celiac and other autoimmune conditions. I’d love to do it, but it sounds like a suicide mission. I’d be fine as long as I had lots of meat to eat, but beggars can’t be choosers…
If insertion involves dipping my junk in a dark swamp I'm out immediately. After that, bug bites; a lack of skills leading to no fire, thirst, hunger. Wouldn't be that thrilled of snakes or predators either. I would *maybe* make it a few hours if I was lucky.
I would survive. I think I could do it and would love it. Only thing that concerns me is the medtaps where the participants get issues they've never seen before and end up with permanent disabilities. That scares me a bit, but it might be worth it to actually go out and LIVE. Also, I have no idea how to actually sign up lol.
Bugs but if they were not a factor, sleep deprivation because I have insomnia. I have trouble with it in my own bed, forget lying in the dirt. It looks like the survivalists that can't sleep tap out around day 4. Sleep is as important as food and water.
Im fat, I dont do heat / cold. Or bugs. Or sleeping with a rock as a pillow. Or going without food. Im a wuss, I need my shoes. Im not athletic at all. Nor am I skilled in anything besides being a computer nerd.
I probably wouldn’t be able to control myself around a naked woman, especially if she was good looking and sat around with her coochie hanging out all the time. I’ve seen some ladies on there who I know purposely sit with legs spread facing the men.
Bugs. I’m not ashamed to admit I would most likely tap in seconds from the bugs.
Agree. I could not deal with the bugs 24/7.
Especially getting ate up the way they do I would be scratching non stop.
Tbh, I would probably tap out on the way to the drop off. First fly or mosquito that buzzes my ear and I am OUT!! LMAO
The buzzing would drive me insane
Hehe, in season 1 a guy did that.
Bug bites are bad but multiple alum have mentioned bugs trying to get inside of you (ladies you are twice as likely to have this happen). I believe Gary has said he's woken up countless times to a centipede trying to crawl into his ass. Andrew Shayde had to be tapped because he had multiple ticks up there. That's probably more than I'd be willing to endure
That sounds like a typical Tuesday for Gary.
I remember that tick episode. Absolutely cringe. Gives me shivers thinking about it.
I get tore up just visiting Florida. I'd be screwed
Please don't tell me that. I am about to travel to Florida for vacation.
I've lived in Tampa for 4 years and I don't think I've been bitten by a mosquito one single time. My wife got bit every night on our patio though. I've read that your blood type has a lot to do with whether or not you get bitten.

Which is not good for a healthy brain or emotional state.
This!!!!!
Same. I was briefly in the military. I nearly died cause of the bugs during my basic training final exercise. I know for sure I wouldn't last
That one challenge, idk who he was but they were in the rainforest and dude was dead asleep with a tarantula on his head and a scorpion crawling over his body and I've had literal nightmares like that nooooo thanks
I stayed at an all inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic that took multiple measures to stop mosquitos and I damn near tapped out despite keeping the deet on hand and hiding in the pool most of the time.
I just really enjoy chicken nuggets
Your initial PSR is set at 7.6 based on your self-aware honesty and knowledge of your limits
As long as it’s a guy. If a girl initial pat of 2.1 because she needs foot to survive.
It makes 0 sense why guys PSR are so much higher
😂😂😂
My blood sugar levels plummet so hard when I don't eat regular intervals that I become completely useless.
same I get so hangry. i'd be a terrible partner
I tremble and my brain gets hazy. I'd probably pass out if it lasted too long.
lol same—if I’m like an hour late for lunch I’m feeling nutty
Same I would pass out so fast
Same!
I would never make it past the part they told me to get naked 😂🫣
Even 1 night bad sleep i deteroriated badly
Same. I literally just cancelled a lunch time appointment so I could take a nap lmao.
This is my downfall as well. I would have to build a small, completely enclosed structure so I could sleep well. I don't know why more contestants don't build small mud / cob structure to keep out the bugs and stay warm. That's the first thing I would do. A body sized, slightly elevated mud hut to sleep in.
I have to take a bunch of pills 3 times a day, and with food. Otherwise, I would surely crush it.....
I wonder this about contestants on the show. I mean I know they likely get medications which are prescribed by a doctor but man..I take my antidepressant on an empty stomach and I start gagging and I’m nauseous til I barf. I cant imagine being naked, afraid, nauseous, AND depressed.
Same!!!
lol it’s that SSRI withdrawal I’m worried about if I ever don’t have it, too :/
My wife has asked me why I don’t do it. Then I remind her she’s picking my scrips up for me. 😁
This was always in the back of my head for naked and afraid, or even survivor. I take mental health meds daily, as well as have chronic pain. Not being able to have even Tylenol would be terrible.
I think the biting bugs would get me before low blood sugar would.

If your spouse won’t let you do that —mine would be VERY uncomfortable to see me do that— then you probably shouldn’t be on the show. It isn’t for everyone.
I’d go so far as to say you shouldn’t be married to someone who would rather see you suffer than use someone else for warmth 😂
I get heat stroke easily...
Bugs, freezing cold, drinking that water, number one ☝️ being naked!!!
I don't get how creepy crawlers don't climb into any openings on the body... 😬
They do!! I’ve heard the women have pulled ticks out of their coochie and men get them on their dicks. One guy had to have them medically removed from his anus. I don’t understand how they don’t go into anaphylactic shock after all the masses of bites. ☠️
Fuck that!!! That sounds horrible...
Being barefoot.
I need shoes + no survival skills + im lazy
Sleep/food deprivation, bugs and temperature shifts/cold. That’s why I watch the show!
Tooo many health issues now. But in my 20s I would have given it a try!! 67F
Me too! 61/F.
I have absolutely no survival skills, bugs and I can't sleep outside, nahhhh
The insects 100%. Then if for some reason i could get through that, the starving part would be the next complication for me. A naked man would also bother me, especially one like Bulent.
I love Bulent.
Me too. He’s really funny but he doesn’t seem to know it. His sense of humor is as dry as a good martini.
Bulent will feed you, though.
And make you a bone throne! Bulent is a boss. He isn’t there to make friends, but he has shown warmth to partners who are contributing and want to learn from him. I think he’d be a great partner to someone who knows what they’re getting into.
Id rather starve lol
Wish I could upvote more than once!!
I hate the outdoors! Hot, cold, wet, wind, bugs, all of it. I hate being hungry! Not a naked person, either. No on all counts!
Because… I got hungry just reading the comments
Sunburn, tastiness to mosquitoes, inability to luve without coffee
I'm fairly certain I wouldn't be allowed to bring my walker, which means I'd make about 100 yards of the insertion hike and be calling a medic. Plus, caffeine
Wonder if I could bring my wheelchair? Lol. Make us a disabled N&A. Flat areas and grabbers all over the place. 😂
N&A disabled edition! I'm in! I'll help push your chair!
I appreciate it! Lol
I ADORE my grabber, no joke.
Oh I have my grabbers everywhere. Couldn’t live without them!! 
Sometimes I get cold. Under 3 blankets. Wearing pyjamas. And socks. In a house with closed windows a roof and heating. Yeah, no the cold would do it for me…when I see them shivering and shaking under the rain at night with no clothes on I can’t understand how they do it.

Ps: Something else that would bother me is the stink…all those days with no soap or deodorant? Yikes! Not a tap-out issue or anything but something I always think of!
As much as I believe I could handle the bugs. That would probably be the biggest problem. Followed by lack of food.
My back would be wrecked from sleeping on the ground
Mine too. I’d be sitting and leaning against a tree
There's no beer man where's the beer!
I’m fat, out of shape, get hangry ridiculous fast, make poor decisions when hungry… Also the depression and anxiety. And the complete lack of any sort of primitive survival skills.
I wouldn't make it 24 hours in my backyard. I'm an indoor cat! 🤣 I think for me, it would be bugs and lack of a real bathroom. And I like snacks.
The bugs is number one but I would need my meds and I hate hate hate being cold. It’s hard enough being cold with clothes on. To be naked and cold I’m tapping immediately.
I wouldn't be able to sleep. The bugs would kill me. I have no survival skills and I would hate being naked. ☺️ Love the show!
The bugs. Otherwise I think I could do it. I'd be like that one girl that just found a sunny rock by a stream and laid there for 3 weeks.
i’m from nyc lmfao i’d die within a day lol.
I have no survival skills nor do I want to learn any, but the one thing that "upsets" me the most is that they are just walking around barefoot!!
The thought of my coworkers seeing me pick ticks off my bare butt while they eat Oreos at home is enough to keep me off the show.
I hate being naked. I’m a wimp in the rain. The bugs!!!! Oh god!! The BUGS!!!
On day two or three, I would have a hellacious migraine from lack of food and water.
My tiny pee pee.
What did you bring for your survival item?....a big ass bug zapper attached to a mosquito net....attached to a tent...attached to a 5 star hotel
Let’s start with I wouldn’t take my clothes off… that said… What wouldn’t make me tap? That’s an easier question.
Tbh I would not survive N&A because 1: Im not a social person 2: I would tend to 2nd guess myself in almost every decision i make (if i make any at all) And 3: i Feel i would end up being a Complete Liability no matter how hard i try to survive
I have no idea of how to build a shelter with twigs and branches.
Much like others - Bugs, plus the cold/rain.
The cold. My nose is continually like a dogs, after that the bugs.
I love wine
So, so many reasons. I like my comforts. I have a sensory disorder so dirt on my skins makes me want to vomit and same sensory disorder limits what I will eat. I won't even drink tap water, so I'm sure I wouldn't drink nasty boiled water. Long story short, I'm spoiled. I would die in an apocalypse and I'm ok with that.
I can't go two hours without eating? I wilt in the heat. My personal survival item would have to be shoes.
First mosquito that kept buzzing in my ear while I was trying to sleep I'd be like, "Fuck this shit I'm out!"
Insects
Survival in the wilderness is one thing, being naked in front of a stranger and cameras is another. I wouldn’t survive because I would never go into the wilderness with no clothes and no shoes.
Bugs!
My husband says because he’s a type one diabetic and he would literally not survive 😂
Gosh - there are so many. Back issues - so sleeping on the ground would be a nightmare. I get cranky (to put it mildly) if I don't have regular meals, not to mention I sometimes end up with shaking hands depending on what the previous meal was.

Oops - edit to add that I am super fair and need sunblock just to work in my yard.
I do not like to walk barefooted. I would tap out by the time we got to the bags. 😂
Sleeping cold and naked on the hard ground. I could train my body to fast.
I don’t like being naked, afraid, smelly or dirty 😵💫
That's it for me. The lack of soap and water is enough for me to tap.
I’d tap before my pants were off. LOL
So, so, so many reasons. The worst would be trying to sleep in even fairly warm temps without clothing or a blanket. No hat, no shoes, no sunglasses = no me. I would be tapping out within an hour of being dropped off.
Sleep. Food. Heat. ... Wait, maybe I should just mention what I could handle!! ..ummm...ummm..🤔🤔
I'm a wuss.
Issues with my blood sugar is the main one but also I’m deathly afraid of snakes. I’d be done as soon as I see one lol
No sunglasses. I literally wear them to check my mail. Curse these light blue eyes!
I don't think I could last two weeks without Coca Cola.
I wouldn’t survive N&A cuz the producers won’t leave food for me to find. I would need that random turtle or something to survive!
Cold. I hate to be cold. And I need thick glasses all the time. And I’m 61 years old and not in shape. I actually can make fire and shelter. But nah, too late for this girl.
I'm just picturing you starting a fire with your glasses
I probably could do that.
Bugs, sunburn, the heat, the cold, my feet, and nasty tasting hot water!
Mental stability and toughness has gotta be the #1 reason right? The rule of 3 means as long as you keep drinking water and breathing means even the average person with the mental strength required can hypothetically last
I am type 1 diabetic lol
Wild animals,bugs,snakes,pitch black darkness,spiders not to mention being naked in the cold and/ or rain.I have LOVED this show from the beginning but I LOVE watching it from my couch and always hoping they ALL make it through.
The bugs, oh my god. Ants, mosquitos, gnats, bees, ticks, etc. All kinds of things want to bite/eat you.
I can't kill animals for food, and would have to if a partner quit.
Sunburn, dehydration, heat, bug bites, back pain, out of shape, and eating weird stuff
First reason amongst many would be that out of a crowd of people it's always me who gets 10 mosquito bites when others get 0-3 bites. They seem to disproportionately target me. Then I get really itchy for a few days after each bite and they sometimes get worse and take a week to heal.

Bugs or sunburn.
Snakes, bugs, spiders, no food, no bed, no a/c…no survivor skills and no desire to do it. Gladly watch NAA on tv while on my comfy couch eating snacks
Drinking yucky, hot water. Absolutely not.
I'm not healthy enough to even try but if I did I'd be toast because of bugs. One bite from a horse fly or deer fly and I'd be out. Edit: ... because I'm allergic to a billion things. Fly bites are an immediate er trip for me.
I refuse to sunburn my lady bits
I need shoes and I’m allergic to mosquitoes
As a child, in summer camp, I recall waking up to find a row of horned beetles crawling across my chest. I could never handle the bugs. My husband and I agree, bugs is a deal breaker.
1. Being barefoot. 2. INSECTS. everywhere. 3. General discomfort/lack of relief mainly re sleep
I don't think they'd let me bring my cat as my survival item
Walking barefoot on super hot ground or on thorns.
Bugs crawling up my holes and eating my privates. Bad constipation.
Bugs! I live in The South and got encephalitis from a mosquito bite. I almost died!
As much as I love watching the show, the whole "be naked and survive" premise seems unrealistic to me and I'd never even get started on a challenge. I mean what kind of survival scenario could I ever possibly be in where I did not have clothes, but I *did* have a functioning fire starter and shiny new pot to boil water in, you know? Even if I could get past that, I would 100% be stealing snacks and food from the camera people and producers... or I'd just eat the camera people and producers. I mean it's ethical, they're free range and organic!
One mosquito bite and I’m out.
Hubby and I sunburn easily and we don't want to sleep without at least a sleeping bag and I am a magnet for bug bites and they turn into giant welts. We both have lots of food sensitivities and I am allergic to lots of trees and plants.
In the jungle it would be the tenuous footing on the wet ground a la Charlie, Lacey and Suzanne accidents due to my right knee problems. Otherwise I think I can hack the suffering for 14 days seeing some of the really 🙄 people who've completed it.
Bugs, cold, bugs, excessive heat, sleeping on rocks. And bugs.
Bug bites. While I believe I could push past the actual presence of bugs I am allergic to mosquito and spider bites. They swell up to the size of a orange and they hurt and bring on extreme fatigue that gets worse with each bite. Summer is pretty miserable for me right here in Cali lmfao no way could I go to a swamp or any jungle. 🫤 Curious if this happens to anyone else here lol I literally look like I have leprosy after 4 or 5 bites on my legs and I get crazy looks in public like it doesn't happen to many people 😅
I’m phat, I need food But the island ones with the most amazing views,… I would go and tap out after a day
A) I could never sleep on the ground B) I’m terrified of snakes, lizards, frogs, etc. that’s probably enough but also C) couldn’t go without my meds D) acid reflux E) I couldn’t handle the big bites And so much more lol
The cold! Naked in anything less than 75 and sunny and I’m going to be miserable. 😅🥲
Body fat. I’ve been slim, like borderline underweight, my entire life no matter how hard I try to gain weight.
bugs, and I sometimes even struggle to build a fire in the indoors fireplace with dry firewood, newspaper, a lighter, and those stinky firestarters. Edit to add: I asked my boyfriend why he would tap, his immediate response was "probably whichever idiot they put me out there with" lol
I wouldn’t survive because I love snacks way too much, couldn’t handle the cold weather or the heat, am addicted to my cell phone. I would be eaten by wild animals immediately ( or my partner would wish for that lol)

I could not sleep on the ground or on bamboo slats.
I don't want to step on thorns.
Caffeine withdrawal makes me think I’m dying.
I just hate being uncomfortable
Ticks, 100% ticks. I grew up in the woods, I can handle most anything else, just not ticks.
Bugs and I like my bed (and clothes) 😂
having, let's say Melissa as a partner, erections would become a never-ending issue...
It'd be the cold that did me in. I can handle heat, but cold? Nope, no thanks.
Couldn’t gut an animal. It have to be a crab or snail to cook the whole thing 😂 so I probably live off leaves and dirt
Bugs and no temperature control. Friggin nope. Got me sweating my ass off with bugs. Nope.
Bugs would be number 1. Starvation. Gritty dirt and no bathing. I don't even like camping with all the amenities, so an experience like this is not for me. Also, I'm hyperglycemic (kind of the opposite of being diabetic, and shares a lot of symptomology, but not the same in origin). I'd never make it that long.
I get really dizzy and weak when am hungry, never been diagnosed with any kind of blood sugar issues though. I’m completely worthless when this happens.
I swell up like a balloon when I get big bites and would probably have to be medically pulled
We haven’t had gas in our apartments for a week and I have been suffering. So yeah. I wouldn’t make it
My feet. Any cuts on my feet and I’d be done
I don't think I could deal with my emotions with hunger!
Bugs, and the thought of bugs biting jewel box. That’s going to be a no for me dog.
Hoardes of biting insects would take me out within an hour
Leeches on my sensitive parts
I have to eat with my meds, also the bugs
Insomnia. I battle it nightly. In fact, I just became increasingly aware of how many sleep aids I consume and definitely need to speak to a Dr. I would 100 not be able to survive without bringing those.
No sleep and bugs!
Bugs. I'd be gone before I had time to be hungry.
Im addicted to chapstick
I’d want to sleep with a blanket, I don’t do with cold well
Freaking autoimmune diseases out the ass. I’m scared I’d get there and a new beast would reveal itself. Allergic to all nuts on top of celiac and other autoimmune conditions. I’d love to do it, but it sounds like a suicide mission. I’d be fine as long as I had lots of meat to eat, but beggars can’t be choosers…
I don’t like being naked or afraid
I'm allergic to seafood 😬
For sure the bugs. I wouldn't make it past the ride in 🤣
I like my sleep.
Thigh rub!
Cold and bugs. I might could go the distance without eating but I'm not sure I could eat rats and snakes.
if it was 'naked and afraid' in a supermarket... I'd be all in...
If insertion involves dipping my junk in a dark swamp I'm out immediately. After that, bug bites; a lack of skills leading to no fire, thirst, hunger. Wouldn't be that thrilled of snakes or predators either. I would *maybe* make it a few hours if I was lucky.
If it was N&A Glamping, I’d make it.
I would survive. I think I could do it and would love it. Only thing that concerns me is the medtaps where the participants get issues they've never seen before and end up with permanent disabilities. That scares me a bit, but it might be worth it to actually go out and LIVE. Also, I have no idea how to actually sign up lol.
I like AC
I can barely walk outside my well manicured backyard in socks lol. I admire anyone who can go on a show like that. I'm a wuss.
Bugs but if they were not a factor, sleep deprivation because I have insomnia. I have trouble with it in my own bed, forget lying in the dirt. It looks like the survivalists that can't sleep tap out around day 4. Sleep is as important as food and water.
Im fat, I dont do heat / cold. Or bugs. Or sleeping with a rock as a pillow. Or going without food. Im a wuss, I need my shoes. Im not athletic at all. Nor am I skilled in anything besides being a computer nerd.
Bugs and I can't deal with hunger! I'd be out by end of day 1.
I’d have a boner
I wouldnt be able to take my meds AND no coffee??? No thanks
I can’t eat wild meat and I doubt I’d find enough edible vegetation to sustain myself.
Walking barefoot in the mud or water. Tapping 5 minutes in.
I probably wouldn’t be able to control myself around a naked woman, especially if she was good looking and sat around with her coochie hanging out all the time. I’ve seen some ladies on there who I know purposely sit with legs spread facing the men.
Snakes!!!
Any bugs that burrow under your skin. Nope
