Ryan Taylor graduated from Chesapeake High School in Ohio, where there were many different stereotypical groups, including rednecks, jocks, goths, and band nerds. Of these groups, the rednecks would be the most useful for survival as they knew skills like fixing things and survival techniques. However, the athletic jocks could also be helpful by traveling long distances to find food, while the rednecks built fires, hunted, and prepared meals. Both the rednecks and jocks would contribute useful skills for survival.
