Sure I know its American, but it starts with a GPS question, so thats something in its favour.

11 out of 18 for me.

Apparently i don't know what to do when a Black Bear attacks me and where those rattlesnakes live

16, with about 3 reasoned guesses

Ditto for me.
16 correct.
While my orienteering/camping/rogaining/hiking/scouting/geocaching background has obviously helped, I am likely to be killed by a black bear or fall into a rattlesnake den

I didn't do at all well and then I got bored as it got silly.

However due to the fact that I am a navigational gumby I wouldn't follow me anyway! Maybe I should try to put a quiz up - Survival Shopping.

Lets see these outdoor hero types manage taking a teenage boy shopping without buying anything black, trying to manage to get to the sale at the shoe shop and buying a new outfit and keeping it all withing the credit limit that is left on your credit card after Christmas!!

Rattlesnakes? Pussies in comparison!

How the heck do you loose all your matches bar one?

Oh and I got 8 btw, so that stuffs me...

5 to 10 Correct. You'd get lost on the back nine of a golf course.

9 - So much for Scouts! But then mayb if I was a US boyscout I'd have had a chance!

I was ingested by the bear at question 2.

mmmmm. I'm dead.

no more Astro.

There's a reason I generally do 1/1 type caches

That quiz proves it.

11 out of 18 mainly because of the American nature of some of the questions and oh, I disagreed with one or two answers

Of course the natural human reaction *is* to fight a bear to the death.

But only if they are made of chocolate and filled with caramel...

And yes I do realise that a koala is not a bear

11 for me - I'll stick to where I know....

A few too many of the questions had similar answers, where one was declared to be the "right" one, and a few questionable ones, and I only went as far as #9.

Both adult Cheesy Pigs did this quiz. One got 6, the other got 13.

Mrs CP would just like to add that she agrees with Aushiker - some of those answers are wrong! I certainly wouldn't want to bend a sapling over my thigh to cut it with a knife, as the thigh in question would be bleeding well before the sapling was.....

11 right. Not bad for a city slicker.

Must be all those hikes looking for tupperware. Haven't seen a bear or a rattler yet though.
