Survive in the wilderness? Me? But of course! I was a girl guide once you know. I suppose it’d depend on how long I had to survive though, and whether I’d just wandered into the wilderness with only my handbag or, I’d had time to prepare for the trip.
I don't like anything to get the better of me so there's that and I do have some wilderness survival experience, having once ventured out of the city in 1978 to a godforsaken field in Ballisodare County Sligo, with no civilisation for miles and only a Mars bar for sustenance. I reckon I could handle anything if I could survive that for 24 hours.
There was also that walk in the Australian Outback many moons ago when my stiletto heel broke off crossing some particularly rough terrain. That taught me a few things about survival, I tell you!
I reckon I'd be ok for food since as a rule I don't eat much and I often fast for long periods. If I did get hungry though I've been collecting foraging tips from 
If I could find water I at least know I have to boil it and I always have a lighter about my person lest I should happen upon some handsome young man needing to light his cigarette. But what to boil it in? Perhaps I could find an old tin can left behind by some similarly lost soul.
Shelter might be a bit of a problem but sure isn't there always a cave hanging around somewhere and haven't I read Lord Of The Flies? That's bound to come in handy. All in all, I reckon I'd be grand, provided I wasn't hunted by some wild animal, in which case all I could do would be to run... and I did once qualify for the mini-Olympics athletics team.
But wait. Scrap all that! I wouldn't last more than a day. Sure what about my hairdryer? Where would I plug it in?
