    Team with a child because:
    -They will need less food
    -You can play the protective role model
    -If the child dies you become the underdog by trying to revenge them
    -If you die the child becomes the underdog by trying to revenge their role model
    -Less likely to turn on you than other people
    -If everyone else is dead you gain even more pity points for one of you having to killing the other

    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.

      @Kaylie Michelle Actually you are in the worst possible position. All the other tributes will know your position, but you don’t know their positions. You will have all the supplies that they will eventually need, and at anytime could form alliances and take it from you. If you decide later on to abandon the cornucopia, you will have a higher chance of getting ambushed, because you’re not familiar with the terrain.

    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

She ran from the Cornucopia, she had awesome survival skills, she stayed solo, she stayed hidden and had great strategies like the one during the feast. 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.

    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).

    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!

    • @terraristit3752
      @terraristit3752 Před rokem +2

      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!

BUT, the desire to continue your existence/legacy after your own death through offspring is a deeply rooted instinct that is never going to be be 100% overcome by people's higher-ordered decision-making, AND idk how common/effective birth control is in Panem, especially the poorer districts, and making birth control harder to access in response to declining birth rates is DEFINITELY something Capitol would do. 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.

      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.

It changes the way the games are perceived and I love it. Later this year it’ll be a movie 🎉

    The downside of being memorable is that it makes you stand out more to other tributes, thus hastening your death. The most prominent variable in this is training score. While an 11 will get you more sponsors, it will also make the other tributes more determined to knock you off as soon as possible.

      TheBeastlyPanda 04 that's a very good point. One thing is if you follow matpats rules it shouldn't matter so much, if you avoid the instant blood bath then you are safe to escape. After that if you remain hidden your infamy shouldn't matter - you simply can't hunt a specific person, cos the objective is to kill everyone else, not just one, so nobody will ease time following specifically your tracks even if you left them AND they knew which were yours. So don't be spotted until the end basically.
      However, if this doesn't sound good to you, I imagine the best tactic is to remain around average in memorability... Enough to get presents and for people to like you, but not so much they want to kill you. It might even be better to start with below ratings, then show your greatness in the games themselves (ie pretend you suck before the games begin), then the audience can see your skill, but the other fighters won't be targeting you
