Wilderness Survival: Starting with Bear Grylls and Les Stroud

Nisha: "I've only eaten one palm-sized squirrel in three days."

Li Xi: "I've eaten all the grasshoppers around here. Wherever I go, not a single one is left hopping."

Wang Xu: "I've started eating tree bark. Lately, I've been trying to turn it into flour."

Jerriver: "I can't remember how long it's been since I last ate. The dirt on the ground looks like chocolate. I might have to eat dirt soon. Come to think of it, what does dirt taste like?!"

Lin Qian: "..."

Nisha, Li Xi, Wang Xu, and Jerriver: "Bro, why aren't you saying anything?!"

Lin Qian: "I have a Wilderness Survival System."

I started out with both Bear Grylls and Ed Stafford on my team, my hunger and skill levels maxed out, and every item I could possibly need.

I've already grown tired of braised fish, spicy crayfish, beggar's chicken, and Lao Ba's special mini burgers.

Here's a secret: lately, I've been working on a full Manchu-Han banquet.

Fresh out of college, Lin Qian joins a survival show similar to a wilderness survival program. He only plans to make up the numbers, get his face on camera, and earn some spending money, but unexpectedly, he gets bound to a Wilderness Survival System.

Lin Qian declares: "Wilderness, here I come!"
