How did I miss this thread? Lol. Epic.
Have you ever read ''Hatchet?'' that has some good survival skill stuff.
I don't think this kind of question really suits a particular type.
I wouldn't bother befriending animals, because they don't speak any human languages, except for certain birds, but they only mimic what they have heard people saying. Oh, and I guess gorillas(?) can be taught sign language, but I can't imagine the conversations with them would be particulary interesting. They would probably just be like ''I'm thirsty. Glass of milk please'' or ''I want my toy''. It would be like talking to a toddler. A very slow toddler.
If I was alone in the woods for the rest of my life, I would be sad about not having a husband or kids, but happy to have my very own woods. I would imagine an amazing treehouse to live in, but would give up in despair, due to my lack of building skills, and end up sleeping under a giant leaf. I would learn how to eat bugs or dirt, because I don't like the idea of killing my own meat, and I would bathe naked under the waterfalls. I would collect berries and make daisy chains and get very good at climbing trees. I would probably also spend all my time talking to God, and inventing imaginary friends because I would get very lonely.
