That Survival Show

Mirah

I love you
Called Alone


You can watch it on the History channel.

It is day 4 and 7 guys remain, but one is tapping out due to bear encounter. What is funny is that people who are working on the show as medics and back up now have to go out into the wild to go rescue this guy. He is fine, there was no bear contact, he is just scared.
 
Oh I forgot to mention, they are on Vancouver island. It is fall and it is wet and there are many bears and wolves and maybe some cougars.

They are onlly allowed 10 survival tools and no food, so its not like they are backpacking. Most of them have a sleeping bag with them, fire starter, rope, knife, axe, saw, pan or kettle.

I am impressed with some of the shelters and structures already built. One guy made his tarp into a raft by putting branches in the center and tying the sides up.
 
Yeah, they should for sure.

It is like 13 days and 4 men out of 10 survived thus far. One guy built a boat!
 
It seems not too many from here will be watching the show so I can go ahead and update this thread and not have to warn about SPOILERS! (Can you hear the sarasm in my font?)

I am on season 1 ep 10 4 guys remaining. They are on day 30 something. They have endured rain, snow, wind, and well being alone.

One guy has built a canoe, a yurt, and a guitar! It is fucking amazing! HIs food supply is lacking slightly however. This is Lucas.

Another guy, Alan has a pretty good shelter, I love everything he has to say about living with the earth and nature and he has caught so much food. He is eating well. However, just gtting updated-day 37 because of the snow and weather he has not been able to go out and get food, so he is a little hungry and very low on energy. I trust he can find something to sustain him for a little longer. He has eaten a lot of plants, seaweed, slugs, clams. Caught a fish and maybe even a bird.

Then there is Sam. (OMG I keep deleting my posts some how WTF)
Sam is the comic relief, but he has gotten more serious as time goes on,and he talked about that which I thought was cool. He has eaten the least. He made traps to catch small creatures such as mice. He has not fished, but attempted to hunt with a bow and arrow.

Mitch is cool. I like his journey. He is on a darker side of the island. He needs some more sun. He has caught a bird and a fish and his process is fascinating to watch.

One thing they all have in common is that they have managed to collect water, and have fire. And they all have a pretty decent shelter.
 
SPOILERS AHEAD!

Day 39 Lucas leaves. Which surprised me, but I guess he was talking about a feeling of contentment, accomplishment while I was typing all the above, so I missed it and had to go back. I am shocked because of all he built, but I think not having food of course has taken a toll on many of them. Speaking of toll now I want to bake some cookies again.
 
SPOILERS!

The last 2 guys lasted 56 days. Sam tapped out after a rough storm and not getting enough food. BUT
I accidently saw that he comes back on another season and wins! That is so cool. He has a pretty good attitude about life.

Alan is declared the winner and they bring his wife in to greet him. When he gets home they show him immedietly foraging for mushrooms in the backyard as he is not too keen on his wife's cooking! Just kidding. I would actually love to have a transcript of all of the awesome stuff he said on the show. And now he is teaching survival skills. Pretty cool.
 
I really wish I had someone to discuss this show with. REDDIT SUCKS!!!!!!!!
The only guy responding is a guy WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING AND HE IS A BITTER MAN!!!!! Because he has applied to the show-as someone suggested and he said he isn't "diverse" enough for the show. FFS.
