Humans are not meant to live alone. Even a small group could divide the labor and survive orders of magnitudes longer than a single individual. The most important survival gear is family and community.

One of my observations, not sure if an artifact of editing or accurate, is how everyone progressively talks about missing their families more and more right before they decide to tap out.
The winner from last season(?) mostly seemed to win by keeping relentlessly positive, whatever happened on a given day, thinking of his family fondly, and keeping his mind engaged with hobby crafts (i.e. making a fancier X for his shelter).
I will say I enjoyed the early episode of one of the seasons on Vancouver Island where a cop tapped out within a day or two because there were bears. He even said (I'm paraphrasing) that he's not used to not being able to shoot them or call for help on a radio.
