After looking over the list this year they seem to have made it a bit easier .. Last year you had to pick the tarp as an item if I recall correctly.. They give you two now..
Id roll with...
Ax

Ferro Rod
Gill Net
Hunting knife
Trapping wire

The extra rations should make the first week or two fairly easy.

I wonder how much is in the emergency rations pack they give you gratis..
Posted on 4/29/16 at 11:08 am to TROLA
the ration descriptions say 5 lbs.

I would have eaten the duck. What a puss.
Throws it in the water, with the wind blowing in his face and the waves lapping on shore, "Jee, I hope it doesn't wash back onshore." What an idiot.

Like I heard a 12 year old kid say sitting next to me as it went down, "I'd cut it up (the duck) and use it for bait in several ways and places away from camp."
Definitely a wise decision not to eat it. You don't eat a dead animal with no marks. Recipe for disaster. The weather is obviously still friendly right now. But as you remember, it gets ugly there fast. The fish that were once there, leave, too. They will have to adjust.
It really appears that several of these people didn't even watch the initial series, or are so stupid, they didn't take all the tips. The one dude thinking he could hunt on the land? It was well established you have to live off the water in series 1. The net in the water is key. The one dude who had multiple fish has set his up in a good place. But, he may have to watch out about the Tides. Remember, they couldn't to their stuff for quite awhile last season at times because the water wouldn't go down far enough to get to it.
The dude dropping his fire rod into the fire. I understand filming can throw you off your game, especially when you're not used to doing it, but a dude, who could have contended, did it in season 1, lost his fire starter and had to quit. It's like your most key element. Lose it and you're out. He's gotta be toast. It's so wet there, you've go to have that item. And the winner of Season 1 even said how he made sure he knew where it was at all times...

Advice for future participants. Take an extra ferro rod.
Posted on 4/29/16 at 3:50 pm to LSU Patrick
Or at least one that is bright orange and floats. I have this one and it works great.
Posted on 4/29/16 at 6:17 pm to flvelo12
thank you for that link.
My List of 10 (1st draft):
1. Tarp
2. Parachord
3. Multi-seasonal sleeping bag
4. Ax
5. Ferro rod
6. 2 quart pot with lid
7. 300 yd roll of fishing line & 25 hooks
8. Hunting knife
9. Gill net/hammock (hammock is multi-functional like that 1 contestant showed)
10. Saw
Gotta figure/hope that rope, water bottles, floats/styrofoam, etc will all wash up on shore.
Looks like waders are not on the approved list. So many the rain pants might have some leeway in interpretation?
Getting out into that water is paramount to setting the gill net trot lines.

How that guy didn't use the duck as bait is BEYOND me. Unreal.

Just take your clothes off and go in the water. Suck it up.
I hope we just haven't seen them fishing alot, but they have been.
I don't understand why they don't take the time to try to build a real structure to live in. Cover it well, figure out how the rain falls off it, dig trenches to divert water away and keep the inside ground dry.
And Randy is a moron. Not only did he lose his ferro rod, but he set up that trap where one log would fall parallel to another log. Does he not know his shapes? Checks it the next day and surprise surprise, he got nothing B/c the log fell off the other log, and probably put little force on whatever set the trap.

Watching for the first time now.
Desmond has no idea what he's doing
He's even got his head lamp upside down

Would the red tide effect crab as well?

damn the black dude didn't even make it eight hours.

During red tide blooms, hard-shell clams, softshell clams, oysters, mussels, whelks, and moon snails harvested from areas affected by the blooms are not safe to eat. Since toxins are stored in the digestive tract (stomach) and viscera (intestines) of these animals, scallops are safe to eat as long as only the cleaned adductor muscle (the only part generally eaten) is consumed. Lobster meat, crab, shrimp, and most finfish do not normally accumulate toxin and are safe to eat from affected waters.

I was thinking to myself that ax was going to slide off that wood and nail her. Ugh!
Yeah, she did 3 or 4 splitting them the right way with her hands behind the blade, and then she moves her hand and boom... right into her thumb. I saw that coming as soon as she moved her hand, always cut away from yourself.
Hopefully she has a first aid kit out there and can keep it bandaged and keep it from getting infected... otherwise she's done.

The guy with the net has a good set up. I would think I could make fish jerky from the extra fish rather than bury it. It needs to be colder than 45 for it to last when burying it.
I cannot believe the woman was splitting the wood like that. They say they have a military style tool kit, so if she has sulfa powder she will be okay.

New episode tonight. Somebody has to go home tonight.

I'm sure Choppy McFingerhurts will be gone soon.
Will be interesting to see how long the dude who lost his fire-starter can last. The previews showed him trying to start a friction fire, but it has to be a bitch with as wet as everything is there. If he gets it going though he might be able to stick around for a bit, just has to keep it well fed and dry.
