Part 3: how to survive from people who’ve seen this video

[@dwightwatae3997]

[@Ethan-mp7wr]

Step 1: find a way to conceal a sidearm to bring into battle. Then to not look suspicious, run away and wait until one man left and shooty shoot shoot the last guy, but make it look like he or she accidentally killed him or her self.

[@scotsoulgem]

Well at least your smart enough to know that games like FNAF are completely shit, anyway I figured you were one of those 12 year old roblox kids, they are so fun to piss off, typically they have their roblox character or doge as their profile picture.

[@kiwiskrush]

I think this theory is actually incredibly accurate because in the book, Katniss describes one game where a cannibal was making the audience not interested, or it was just too gruesome. By some "miracle" he died of an avalanche. The game makers didn't want him alive, so he is not alive.

[@molly.gacha.]

It was so bad they had to censor his kills, no one gave him sponsors and he was close to winning

[@AshitaYadav-ej3gl]

Yes, but if his storyline was less gory he would most likely win.

[@b-rabbit3654]

So far in the comments I’ve read two good strategies: 1) once you get a parachute, fill them with nightlock and send them in the air again so that another tribute finds them. 2) make nightlock juice and give them to your “allies” while they sleep But a better idea would be if you make juice, send it on the parachute and have one of the other dehydrated kids drink em without a second thought?

[@marp795]

That's actually really smart, since there probably would be some tributes, who knew what nightlock looked like. They could also use that same stragedy against you, if they knew it was nightlock.

But she forgot about poisonous berries and died. And in the books it's said that during the interview she revealed a mistireous personality, but that's it, she was not memorable enough.

[@PitagorasThe]

I think a good hint was one of Haymitch's in the book: "don't reveal what you're good at during training with others". That gave Catniss information advantage, because she knew that Cato was good with sword and javelin and Clove with knives, but they didn't know Catniss skill with a bow until the very late what made destroying the supply pile possible and the tribute from 1st don't suspect anything while she killed him after he killed Rue.

Haymitch:" stay alive" Hamilton fans: *triggered crying noise* So you have chosen death... just like Philip

[@bobjoe109]

Quick note, one important factor that you didn't mention in either video is sleeping. Everyone has to do it at some time, and when, where, and how you sleep can seriously impact your chance of survival. Examples: Tying yourself up in a tree to sleep (like Katniss did) Camouflaging yourself (like Peeta did) Staying awake late or waking up early to find tributes to murder in their sleep. Setting traps so people can't sneak up on you (a la hunting traps or that smart kid that dug up the mines) Practicing waking up to small noises (before the games) Figuring out how much sleep you need to stay focused If you choose to be a stealthy night assassin then you'll have to figure out a way to keep yourself safe when you sleep during the daytime. Also one more thing to do is strategize with your mentor about the parachute drops. For example if there's a tool that you really need (such as a knife or way to get water) then they should send it to you very early in the games (when it is cheaper to send things).

How do I survive without mat pat

[@QuincyChen]

Hey Matpat! Another great survival video! There are some important factors that you might have forgotten about: What if you CAN’T find water like in the 75th hunger games? The only way that they got drinkable water was from the trees. In the first book, Katniss mentioned that poorer districts have the tactical advantage of having a better tolerance for hunger. In your opinion what do you think is better? Lots of lbs or higher tolerance for starvation? People who have sad backstorys are more vulnerable to attacks like the jabberjays or any emotion related attacks. You also didn’t mention the tessera. Is it worth it? I completely agree with all of your points but… You should definitely think about pre hunger games. Not the week before, The year you turn twelve and your name can be pulled. You can always become a career right? I would love to see a part 3!

[@viddog6457]

Nice comment but i doubt he will ever see this as its 7 yrs later

[@terraristit3752]

Okay, so, uhh... 1: If you can't find water, you die, lol. It's as simple as that. In fact, in the first book, Katniss almost died of dehydration before stumbling on a pond by sheer luck! In a situation where you cannot find water, you just have to hope that you either stumble upon a water source by chance or that your mentor sends some to you. 2: I don't think the two have nothing to do with each other. Eating a lot before the Games shouldn't affect your tolerance for hunger, at least as far as I am aware, but I could be wrong. 3: Yes, people with sad backstories are vulnerable to things like that, but there's really nothing they can do to help it. Unless, of course, they make up a fake backstory for themselves and hide their real, sad backstory from the world, but that might honestly not be worth it, due to how hard it is to mask something like that. 4: Wether or not tessera is worth it depends on how much you care about your and your family's survival. I mean, the idea of tesserae is that any child of Reaping age can request an year's worth of grain and oil from the Capitol, but the cost of that food is higher chances of getting Reaped into the games, and each child can take as many tesserae as there are family members in the house. So it's probaply NOT worth it, unless there is absolutely NO other food available. However, if there really is no other food source for you and your family, then yeah, of course it is worth it, because if you don't take it, you're gonna die anyway from starvation. And lastly, 5: No, you cannot just become a Career. It is illegal. Training for the Games in any way is illegal, as well as owning a weapon. The only reason Districts 1, 2 and 4 can become Careers is that they have very close ties to the Capitol, and thus enjoy many special privilliges other Districts don't have access to, such as the right to train for the Games. So yeah, you can become a Career, as long as you are from District 1, 2 or 4 (or alternatively, you can train for the games in secret if you are from another District, but that is VERY risky business, both for you and your family). Hope this comment answered some of your questions!

His shine a light on things but you have to look at more. If your going to be an aggressive tribute then use Spear Machete Matches And a tree. Reason why is because a spear will scare people. Its long ranged while others have thier knife trying to stab you with it. The machete is for close combat. Those can cut ropes and chains. So its a good hitting weapon. The tree is for hunting and waiting. If you found thier base then just throw the spear you got at them. Its a easy kill. For a passive tribute You want : A knife Food Water And being able to be quick. Most of them died in the start. When you can be quick you can get a backpack faster. Most die because they try to stand thier ground. Run because they cant throw a knife or spear very well while running. Since your not going to be killing you need to have your own food and water. Stealing will be good. And if you can set traps it will be better because you're one person. They dont expect you to live. And hiding is a must. You cant go running forever. So uh yea. If the hunger games start then just know ill be dead the 5 seconds because ill have a heart attack.

I really doubt there would be enough people, Panem-wide, willing to practice lifelong abstinence solely in protest of the games to affect the availability of tributes.

[@lauraphelan5812]

+Riccardo Monico Look at someone like Johanna Mason. In the 71st games, she was the dictionary definition of defensive. She started playing defensively before she entered the arena by training in private and purposefully getting herself a low score to ensure other tributes didn't consider her a threat. They didn't think much of her, and didn't actively hunt her down. The Capitol did the same thing-letting her live for now, but knowing that she would be an easy kill later. Towards the end of the games, she got her hands on an axe, a weapon she had been using from a young age (the industry of her home district being lumber). She then surprised everyone by killing the last tributes with the strength no one knew she had. My point is that playing defensively can be the best strategy if done well.
