Slightly off topic- what do you take with you?
The guy that brought the duct tape was a genius. The woman was a bit disturbed at first until she saw what he could do with it.

I was about to say duct tape.
Although I'd have to go with a mosquito net or I wouldn't make it one night.
I think the best combo between the two would be a mosquito net, machete, and fire starter.

Have you watched "Alone" on the history channel? The reason I ask is it seems like it would be right up your alley.
I like it better than Naked and Afraid. If we are being honest, will power is the key to making it 21 days. There was one episode in the dessert where the guy just laid in the shade for 21 days, drank a little water and ate a bug or two. My point is, its difficult no doubt, but it really doesnt take survival skills to survive 21 days and there are many contestants that have rode their partners for the entire 21 days without doing anything.
I like Alone because survival skills are absolutely necessary and its intriguing to see the different approaches people take. I think a new season is about to start.
I like that show a lot too. I like all those survivor shows (it all started with Survivorman, Les Stroud) ... but I cannot stand fake-arse Bear Grylls.
I used to like Dual Survivor, not much anymore ... but that brings up a good point. We were always taught it's best to find a buddy to survive with. Two is one and one is none type mantra. But this Naked and Afraid show takes it to another level with their male/female unclothed/disrobed model.
Now, the whole TV survivor model started years ago with my survivor idol Dick Proenneke show that made huge ratings and still to this day racks up massive numbers in replay on YouTube, for those that have never seen it: LINK: https://youtu.be/iYJKd0rkKss
That guy did it alone back in the day in some rough country, by himself, with the most basic of tools. His cabin is still a pilgrimage site for thousands of primitive preppers and those who relish the thought of truly being off the grid away from civilization.
I do like all of the modern Alaska shows though.

Would you go on this show if you had the chance?
No chance in hell. I don't like camping to begin with. Much less with no clothes, food, or shelter.

The idea of the show is good but does not really fit cable TV. Now I dont really want to watch some naked guy and girl doing the show completely but if they are going to do a show about people being naked, it should be on pay TV so they are actually naked.
Same with the show that was on MTV, Naked Dating. The name of these shows alone bring in viewers. If people are dumb enough to do that stupid shite, let them do it 100%

just recorded episode one of the new season the other night ... the Pop-Up Edition season
Watched that episode this morning and all I can say is wow, much respect for that woman Suzanne Taylor (mother of four boys and married) who made it the final 17 days all by herself after her big bad crybaby weight lifting tatoo'd partner tapped out in like Day 5. Good looking woman too ... Brazilian Forest is the name of the episode. I mean nothing but respect for that woman. Incredible intestinal fortitude!
Someone mentioned duct tape. Yeah, absolutely, if you'll look closely at that picture I posted above you'll see 8' of gorilla tape wound around the sheath on the green knife underneath the otter box which is packed with 1st aid, fire starting and fish hooks, water purification, etc. Use the Paracord as cordage but also, since it's seven strand, you can pull individual strands out of the line to make fishing line.
Object of that show is to make it close enough to the extraction point early-on to be able to finish after you're worn-out, skinny and tired, but still pitch camp near food, water and cover from sun and rain.
1st day get out there and prepare for that one first rough night as expediently as possible ... but make it far as possible towards your extraction point while looking for a good camp site and water.
We learned in E&E school, and this works ... piss around your camp site to keep most critters away including big cats. Mark your territory.
Second day make it to the camp site and start building camp, get firewood and freshwater going. Third day you're gonna be hungry but you have to get shelter and fresh water in place because you've still go 18 days to go.
From there it is all about surviving day by day. Daily hunting, fishing and firewood and water collection.
I've seen several shows now where bamboo is everywhere but they have no clue how to use it for shelter, water transport and storage, purification, weaponry and shelter. It's the ultimate survival foliage.
Someone mentioned covering your feet and that would be a priority to me as well honestly. But it's a whole lot easier said than done. Everyone should know how to basketweave palm leaves, etc.

Seems men tap out much quicker and the women often are just tougher.
The guys seem to exert themselves on day 1 and get worn down so fast they can't recover. There was a guy a few weeks ago that chopped on a tree for days and still couldn't use it for firewood.

With these new XL shows there's one guy that's all by himself that's only being shown on the Discovery Go app. He's already killed 2 Impala and 1 warthog. He used the hide of the Impala to make himself sandals. I think in a week or two he'll join up with a group.

I love this show.
The dangerous animal in our camp bits are fake but it’s fun to guess who is going to make it and who is not. It’s a good social study. When the people actually work together they usually do well. If they start fighting usually someone if fricked. I have been wrong a lot.

Killing large game doesn't even make much sense for one person (or ever two people) unless they already have everything ready to make jerky.
Or the skills to dress the animal quickly in the heat before everything spoils.

The cold arse rain being naked and the bugs would drive a man insane.
I hate a damn water park when it's cool outside. Sitting in a cold arse rain would do me in.

Build a fire.
Wrap your feet.
Cover yourself in a thick mud paste.
Find water.
A fire starter and a pot is all you need to survive.

He is by far the best contestant to ever be on the show from a skill standpoint. That dude is unreal.
The bugs would be too brutal for me and anywhere with sun I would basically be a dead man walking. Now with clothes i would stand a chance but naked no way.

I'm assuming they have heavily armed people around the contestants at all times? I was always curious how they kept those big animals away in places like Africa.
Or does the fire, and these little thorn walls really do the trick? Or do big animals not really mess with humans like we would think they would?

Bump.
Wife wanted to watch tonight because they had Maci from 16&Pregnant/TeenMom on. Had to be the worst contestant in the history of the show. Only had to go 14 days, had an incredible teammate, was in the most hospitable location in the history of the show - she still dropped out on day 2 because her feet hurt.
