Stranded on a desert island? Total nightmare—or secret dream? Whether you’d build a full-blown treehouse fortress or meditate in a driftwood hut, the way you set up your survival zone reveals your instincts, strengths, and how you face adversity.

This isn’t about wilderness training. It’s about you. Your priorities, your resourcefulness, and your vibe when civilization is stripped away. Will you go full MacGyver with hand-woven water systems, or just vibe with the coconuts until someone finds you?

Through seven questions, we’ll decode your survival personality—not just whether you’d make it, but how you’d own it. Are you the chill oracle with a crab companion, the secret boss building a bamboo kingdom, or the adaptable one who never breaks a sweat? Let’s find out.
