Uh, I'm pretty sure I'd be a frozen corpse by day 2. But I'd like to think I tried
Two days beats the first 2 hours!

Okay, you wrote "satnav" and I read "SantaTV." You know, where you get to watch Santa on his way around the world and such
I would soon die.
Fire-starter is a great track! Yeah, I'd definitely take that with me anywhere I went.
Seriously, that's an ultra cool gadget Dukat. Must get up the nose of hardcore campers...
Well, in all my adventures in urban survival, I never go anywhere without my zippo
I'd be pretty much screwed if it got to the point of having to find food, but it I get dumped out in the wilderness now, at least I'll be nice and snug - my winter coat is basically one huge down duvet and keeps me toasty warm in -40 centigrade, so as long as I wasn't further into the arctic, I think I'd be okay for a night 
Which reminds me, must check the batteries in the torch I carry in my coat.

I'd curl up in a ball and die so fast it would border on the comical.
First thing I thought about you is that you would need an oversized ziplock bag so you can take your shoes off and keep them dry and clean as you walk through the forest. Ah, you better take off the cufflinks because they might get tangled in the bushes.
As for me, I would do fine. It has been a while since I camped but I love it. I have a good Kelty backpack and I bought a good sized tent last winter. My old Hamster ate my sleeping bag a few years back. I've slept in the woods in that sleeping bag without a tent in the winter.
I should do fine, especially in the warner months
. Like Elmo Dukat, I should set up a kit. I do have a whistle/compass combo, and two boxes of matches, as well as a swiss army knife.
I'll join you.
I would die. But only because it;s minus 12 right now and I'm naked. If I was wearing clothes I'd survive just fine.

Someone's feeling festive.
Don't scary me with such things.
You SEE, people?
This is what common sense and good taste looks like.
More information than I ever needed to know.
You see, I KNEW that guy was too well-bred to be messing around in the wilderness for real.
I'd suck at this. No doubt about it.
I lived in Alaska for 12 years...and while getting 'dropped' into the wilds is not really business as usual, getting stranded on a deserted road in the middle of winter with no one likely to come by for days is NOT outside the realm of possibility.
Therefore, I always kept supplies in my car - blankets, a heavy wool cap, good hiking boots and socks, a medical kit, a good knife, lighters and matches galore, a mirror to try and send a signal if given the opportunity, a flashlight, a plastic tarp, a compass, a roll of fishing line and a couple of hooks, duct tape, a ball of twine, one of those shiny heat attracting 'blankets'. Oh...and a half dozen Power Bars.
Probably wouldn't have survived anyway...but wanted to give myself a fighting chance.

If you're really afraid of getting stranded like that, get yourself a 406 mHz PRT or EPIRB. The cheapest one I could find in a couple minutes of googling was about three hundred dollars, but they're pretty amazing little things. Just don't under any circumstances get a 121.5 mHz one, they're shit and not worth the plastic they're made out of.
^ I don't know what those are.
But if they require a cell signal, having them on a deserted road in Alaska would be pointless. Part of the problem is that the remote parts of the state don't get cell reception. Not even some of the parts that are actually on the more deserted portions of the road system.

They work on the cospas-sarsat satellite network, and unless you're above 70 N or below 70 S, and you're at least somewhat out in the open, they work great.
Yep. My first quest will be to find water because without water I'll die quickly.
Where do you live? Cause this time of the year, most places have excessive amounts of water everywhere just lying on the ground.
