Unless-Without/Go without

You don't know unless you try
You don't know without/go without try

Two sentences means same meaning,right?
I'm wondering which's appropriate in second sentences? Without or Go without?

" -- Fine (with the addition of a period). " -- These are ungrammatical. "You don't know without try ing " is feasible in informal English, but I prefer the version with "unless".
