Given all the food and supplies and tools to use..... yes absolutely could do it.
I've always read about survival techniques and how to build shelters and find water and food ....but if the food and water is supplied and given a hut or cabin, sure.
It would be quite hard, mentally more than anything, and you'd have to accept no internet, electricity, TV, creature comforts, lack of human contact (all very obviously) but as long as you're ok with that then sure.
If the situation is no food, no water, no shelter but you're given some tools like a machete, knife, axe, hatchet, wood saw, rope, various other things.... it would be completely different and very very tough to find a constant supply of food/water/build protection from the elements and animals/bugs.
Drinkable water source is most urgent, humans die in approx 5 days without water. (how long exactly depends on ambient temperature & humidity, acitivity level, various things etc.). Forget food - you have to find water first, and try to get some kind of shelter from rain / wind / creatures / bugs and potentially the cold etc.
@IDGETKTFO Regarding your comment about a/c I live in a very hot location (hot day and night more or less year round, mid-80's in winter in daytime, mid-90s in daytime in summer) and have not had working a/c at home since Aug 2021. It's a bit of a change, it's tough to adapt to it at first, but it is do-able.

That would be Daddy Sasquatchs testicle sacks and you could use the penis skin as a COVID mask.... You never know that rare strain of COVID might be lurking.... No Homo......
