Zeke-BE Report post Posted April 23, 2016 I'm not the type person that will go out and do some of that being alone that is. But I do know for a fact I would of made it through the first night. One thing that always baffles me maybe is just me, but I take comfort psychologically by making myself weapons for example a long spear. I would feel little more at ease with black bears and mountain linens around. Then obviously make sure you locate water and make an awesome shelter. Last year that one guy built walls then a round T P roof tarp. He had all sorts of room and that is a psychological benefit. For me if I'm alone I want to feel comfortable and I want to feel safe ( spears) If you watch the episode before Alone started that solder said that if he gets in a fight with a bear " they better check up on the bear I'm just saying ". He saw bear scat 10 mins in and it was all over! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted April 23, 2016 When I was hunting and fishing the NW forests near Vancouver Island, one of my mental backups was always wearing good water proof boots and having a spare dry pair of socks. Keep your head and feet dry and you're good to go. Having these contestants placed next to the ocean gives them an incredible advantage. You can build fishtraps and crab cages out of twigs for crying out loud. Kelp to salmon, it's all good. Warm dry place like the guy last season built, all that's left is the mental toughness. $500,000 before taxes is a lot of incentive to not pus out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least she had to leave because she cut her hand open on the 7th day unlike the American solider who saw some bear scat and left before the sun went down! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuggyMan Report post Posted May 7, 2016 Oh they pick those people on purpose. They want quitters or ones they know will tap out the first day. So they can make the show look like its so hard and tough to be alone camping in the woods . Shoot id be hunting and fishing every day. I was thinking the same thing. They don't pick the 10 people they think will do the best. They're looking for drama and entertainment, so they pick some they think will tap out fairly quickly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you all know, just wearing the uniform doesn't make you a Warrior.. alot of remf's/pogs acting manly these days... Never Submit, Never Surrender... Going to have to check this show out alittle better... I need another vacation... Just to be clear im not demeaning the military. Just like church, Christ is perfect and the church is full sinners. Some are better than others of course. Im just annoyed that this guy talked himself up big time on the episode before the season started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted May 13, 2016 Did I miss something last night? Big momma had a meltdown cuz she had to use an air horn and wave a road flare at a bear clan. She called that 'violence?' What really bothers me is no sign of the Spaniard last night. Hope Big Betty didn't have him for a snack before tapping out. Some of the survivalist look like they're getting settled in nicely. Winter will separate the men from the boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercoues Report post Posted May 13, 2016 love the chicken and beats comments, and even more pathetic coming from premier members. I hate the fact that d-bags like you can come on this sight and say whatever comes to mind because sitting behind your computer your balls are the size of an elephants. it really suck that this site was the best thing going for hunters chasing the grey ghost, and now its filled with assholes like you guys. Its sad but I guess that's what this site has come to, Your the ones teaching your kids that road is ethical, and we wonder this new breed of hunter has no respect. Hope you have the balls to say how you really feel in public! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That old man Tom is a bad a$$ Tom rocks, you could learn so much from a guy like that. I missed how the fellow up in AK got all those Icelandic Ponies up there. He thought he was going to farm and graze livestock up there? Hope his ponies enjoy eating lichens. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

awatson Report post Posted May 14, 2016 Supercoues actually created an account to come on here and whine about the lack of political correctness? It's tounge-in-cheek stuff. Let's not be so overly sensitive; there's too much of that going around. Get out of the women's bathroom and go back to your Hillary rally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol, I don't respond to the CWT posers/trolls that frequent the forum, that drives them nuts. But I find it intriguing anyone would jump on the 'Like' button of such a stupid post, connection? I guess it's not OK to poke fun at folks whom join a reality TV show and then quit, but it is OK to make ridiculous assumptions while attacking forum members? Couldn't have put it better, AWatson.
