They will get inside of clothing and are unbelievably bad....it is difficult to imagine until you have experienced it....of you have been out at night with a lantern imagine that multiplied by a million....literally black clouds of the things....so many of them you have to scream to be heard over their buzzing....

I ended up wearing my rain gear when it wasn't raining because they couldn't bite through them.

It wasn't like that all the time, but when they're bad, they're apocalyptic. They could really make you crazy.

I can tell you how he made it in the Atchafalaya Basin - 12 thermacells surrounding their campsite. They dont show everything on tv! No way for them to make it any other way. The mosquitoes were ungodly when we set up the first camp. First guy almost cut off 4 toes the first day. That part didnt make it on the air. Filming started on the episode in late August. After the accident, the crew left and came back 4 weeks later to try again.

If he’s not rolling with 10 treble hooks as his items he’s no pro.

I was. All the production people are being paid on a day rate. If the "stars" of that episode quit, everyone's pay stops too. So it benefits all involved to "help", lest the payday ends early.

What did Indians do? Not saying I could make it but people have survived before. Did they just tolerate the skeeters? Honest question.

Watching it now. It used to be one of my favorite shows so hope to get back into it this year.

So many down votes on people with experience telling you these mosquitoes are NO joke.

I can only assume these are born and bred S. LA baws who refuse to admit there's another place with a worse Maringouin situation and want to claim some kind of "hardship" trophy.

Hes definitely going to win. When he said he has nothing better to go back go at home and they're going to have to drag him out knew he was the guy to beat.

Exact opposite with the girl who cried when peter cottontail got in her snare. No way she makes it, picking her to be first to tap out.

Great show for sure.

Tennessee boy went out like a punk. Why not take one more day to look for fire starter?
Why not keep fire starter under a big rock in the camp site at all times?

Absolutely, he had checked out mentally, I guarantee it was next to his “hot tub”. He did not want to find it

Wait, did that guy really just kill a squirrel by throwing a rock at it?

Spent a little time north of Fairbanks, AK. Those mosquitoes are fierce. They laugh at deet and you need long sleeves, pants, and a head net. Beautiful landscape and great fishing, though!

Not if you've got decent money. Not poor enough for it to be relatively painless and not wealthy enough that you can say "Let her have 10 million, I still have the other 10."

Joe has to be an actor plant. That squirrel looked like it had been dead a few days.
