500,000 can make a lot of dudes look good. She's just protecting her investment

This reminds me of something Survival Man said on one of his shows. A good rule of thumb is gather firewood until you think you have enough to last for the night. Then gather 5 times that much.
I remember that. First time I camped out in Colorado we did that not long after seeing that from survivor man.
What we thought was enough, was enough for the night, b/c we woke up and hadn’t come close to using half the wood we had gathered.

I want them to focus on survival and not the personal problems like they did last season. I don't want Dr. Phil issues.
and really, a lot of the contestants that withdrew early admitted this. The survival skills aspect of all this isnt the hardest, it the being alone and away from everything you have.

Metal strength is a huge deal obviously. You have to be top 3 mentally strong out of everyone that is put there. But a lot of people have tapped because they ended up not being successful at fishing/hunting and when they tap the reason is "I miss my family." o, it's not your family, you're just not as good at this as you thought you were.
People that leave within two weeks when it's not health related, which happens every season, drive me nuts. Every single time they talk about them needing to get back to their families or making wrongs they've done right or something like that. The first person to leave this year was the 20 something year old. He made it around two weeks and then while still completely healthy, tapped because his family needed him. Dude, you're not married and have no kids. Who needs you? Have you never been away from home before? Your family doesn't need you that bad or they wouldn't have let you come on the show. You're just not fit to be on the show.

So Axe vs saw vs knife. I have always thought through this..What would you bring.... and how i reallt think and axe would be great i think i woudl go saw and bring a biger knife like Alan's kukri. it can be used for any purpose a knife is for, and it can do light chopping.

I'm watching Season 8 right now. The only one that was really puzzling to me was the first guy to tap out with the heart issues. Why in the world would they have even allowed someone with 35% heart capacity on the show anyway unless to manufacture some drama.
One thing that made me laugh was when the woman from Maine tapped out I noticed one of the people on the rescue boat was wearing a mask out in the middle of nowhere in Alaska

After 8 seasons, everyone has to have learned by now that fishing is your most guaranteed resource. Mastering every different high percentage fishing idea is a great way to spend your 1st 45 days

quote:yea but his was a special case. They went into it a bit about the psychoses of people starving themselves as the packrat food.
In Season 3, Dave Nessia was medically pulled due to inadequate caloric intake, his systolic pressure barely exceeded his diastolic pressure (80/60 mmHg), putting him in danger of death due to inadequate perfusion of the internal organs. He had been in starvation mode for so long, even though he left with 33 halves of dried fish still ready to eat, he was surviving with the thought of only eating half a fish every other day. (Copied from Wiki)
It wasn't because of lack of food.

I find it interesting to watch how all that bravado, piss and vinegar, etc. they spew prior to, and not long after being dropped off turns to self doubt, trepidation, homesickness, etc. in the course of a few days for some to a few weeks for others.

quote:forget flyfishing... seems most of these people have never FISHED before.
The others seem to not know what they are doing. Just watching them trying to cast and you know they've never really fly fished before, or have limited knowledge. No correct elbow action and not letting it settle behind or forward with the arm straight up from the elbow. And you can only roll cast so far with a tree as your rod.

It seems like most people bring two of the three, not just one. The knife part being a dual purpose/utility knife. I'd take the axe over the saw. Chopping firewood is much easier with an axe. Especially once you've already fell a tree. Once you have it in a 1-2 ft section, you can just get the axe a few inches deep, then it basically splits itself once you beat it on the ground. So just based off energy saving purposes alone I'd go axe over saw. Screw sawing every single piece of firewood I need.

He's not the first person that's created a way to tap in a way that doesn't look like a quitter. I recall a guy from one of the earlier seasons that made an outrigger and "fell int to the water" and he was quick make the call to tap to avoid hypothermia. He didn't even try to warm up. So it happens.

My kids learned this the hard way this summer. They spent an hour gathering wood when we camped in Montana. They figured it would last a long all night, they were sadly mistaken.

No but I watched an episode of the Skills Challenge show. The challenge was to build a bridge. Players have to use whatever materials they have locally. One of the contestants lived in the desert so he built a bridge out of dead scrub trees that was ugly and incredibly heavy. He didn’t use cordage, which was a requirement so he lost. It’s like getting dropped in a bad spot on the real show.
