Even with an incredibly efficient stomping methodology, you’d let some through, which would start crawling on and in you rather quickly.
After a few thousand ants (a fraction of a fraction of the total mind you) get inside your ears, nose, butthole and urethra, biting, chewing and slicing one micro-cut at a time, I’m fairly sure you’re out of commission, going stark mad and opening the way for the remaining millions of ants to quite systematically kill you and methodically cut you in small carryable pieces to bring back to the nest.
But hey, hopefully shoes and soap will help ;)

True, if both the ants and I are naked and get zero prep time, the ants would probably win. But if I have a few minutes to prepare some buckets of soapy water and tuck my pants into my socks, I think I’d have a decent chance.

What’s becoming more and more clear is that you truly have no grasp of what 30 million ants en masse truly is. 😅🤮

All you’ve got to do is maintain a little distance from them, and I can easily outrun an ant. Step on the closest 500, take a step back. Repeat forever.

Thirty.
Million.
The ambulatory physics of that volume is firmly in the fluid dynamics territory, not a mere creepy crawly carpet. 😳

I think you need a flamethrower in the scenario…

But what if each each ant had some buckets of soapy water, pants and socks?

I still fancy my chances. I don’t breathe through my skin.
