"Alone" T.V. Show....
X 2 im starting on episode 1 ...[emoji3] missed it on tv so using the history channel website and piping it to the tv via hdmi cable.. Pretty cool so far but i dont think by any means it would be easy..., if i had to bet on the remaining 8 i would put my money on the old guy who enjoys the delicious sautéed slug meat... Should be no shortage of that delicacy up there.

Thought last nights show was pretty good. Felt bad for Joe loosing his flint stick, $hitty way to have to leave the game. He was a strong player and was one of my top picks when the game started.
Looking forward to next weeks show, thinking its going to be a good one.
How whoever watched enjoyed.
Cheers

enjoying this show also. would love to have been a participant. would be a bit unnerving being alone without a weapon and bears around though. I've been in that situation a few times myself and it's a bit of a strange feeling, feeling helpless when there are large predators around that can and will attack and eat you although it's fairly rare. but that's when it does usually happen. when you are alone. statistically speaking they would have to be more concerned with the bears, over the cougars and wolves. I have a nephew who lives and breathes the outdoors and has actually killed a large bear that stalked and attacked him using only a large (bowie type) knife. I can say for certain if he was on this show he would win it. I'd bet my own money on it anyways.
has been a pretty enjoyable show for me so far... kewl that it's based right in the area's I love fishing in....

Have not had a chance to watch it yet, but it sure like a breath of fresh air to reality tv. With the exception of Survivorman, all of the other "survival" type shows with all the other clowns are based in fantasy not reality. Not difficult to survive when the camera man gets to be picked up by the helicopter crew every evening and fresh supplies are dropped off to the "survivor" 
Looking forward to a "binge watch" at some point.

I must say that I'm really enjoying this series.I like to think of myself as a very outdoorsy type person. Having had
been a helicopter logger for many years and had alot of experience with wildlife (mostly black bear) in very remote
fly in locations,I still think this would be increadibly tough to do.I give these guys a lot of credit.

So far it seems like the wildlife is scaring them all off.........can't say I blame them.....must be un-nerving.
Not exactly a lot of berries etc around in November....so food choices are limited.
So one chap went home because he lost his fire-starter stick. Seems all the wood is wet continually from seasonal rains. Kind of makes you wonder how the native aboriginals started their fires way way back when they were traversing the area. No modern technology in those days.
I have heard of the "portable ember" trick........maybe they used that ..I don't know.

I was thinking the same thing. This show is teaching me new respect for the natives the old timers like Willie Hecht and Bernt Ronning. https://news.google.com/newspapers?...AIBAJ&sjid=NFwEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6364,3170727&hl=en
Anyway, Sam's my man. I think he has the right attitude - howling back at the wolves - and a good work ethic.- "Like a mosquito in a nudist colony. So much to do."

They seem to have picked people that have virtually no experience being in the bush with large predators and are terrified of bears and cougars.
I wonder if they realize that they are only 30 miles from cape Scott park where hundreds of people do exactly what they are doing every year for recreation.
There many cougar and bear encounters on the Cape Scott trail and to the best of my knowledge there has never been an attack.
Way to much drama.

I was looking that up and there are only 2 reported black bear attacks on Vancouver island. The last one being the one in Port Renfrew in 2008. I believe that one was a old bear at could not forage food any longer. I have often wondered about being ship wreaked in that area after reading a book about the first homesteaders to that area. Basically they were pushed off the mother ship in a small dinghy and wished good luck as the ship sailed away.

Speaking of shipwrecks in the area, check out this piece about a father and son washed ashore at Lawn Point in 1939;

I'm sure a big part of the show is "the fish out of water" aspect. How would us west coasters do if we were dropped in the Georgia/Florida swamp with lots of snakes & gators? Like the guys on the show, we'd be scared ####less, we'd be the fish out of water.
If you have ever been to Lawn Point, and get on shore (tough) there is a WWII memorial to 5 (to the best of my knowledge, this is from memory) flyers out of Whidby Island Wa doing submarine patrol. They were flying on Dec 26, 1943 and had mechanical problems, ended up landing on Lawn Point. It looks flat from the air or water, but it's 5ft tall saw grass and lots of ditches, humps and bumps. Keep in mind all these guys were probably under 30yrs, and probably closer to 20.
The memorial lists the flyers and where they are from. All Mid US and further east. Not west coast boys like the article above.
They were located in June 1944, all dead, unfortunately it is thought that the last one starved to death a month earlier in May of 1944.
When you stand beside the memorial on a beautiful summer day, it looks like a great spot, and that living there would be easy. Then you think about winter storms straight off the Pacific, sideways rain and 40+ foot seas crashing straight in, for 5 months before you starve to death. It's absolutely terrifying. RIP boys.
I can't go by there without thinking about it, and I guess in WWII, it wasn't that uncommon.
If anyone knows more about this, please let me know. I've looked for more info, and have not found anything. nothing

I noticed the Bear Cove boat too and was wondering if you were going to be aloud to talk about it. You must know who won!
I hope they don't give it away to much in there advertisements for the show I noticed the slug eater in a new preview has a beard and has lost quite a bit of weight so he must make it a few more weeks.
Neat to see a show filmed here, done a lot of backwoods camping and know how they feel listening to wolves and hearing bears sniff around. Producers were taking a serious chance, you never know, someone could have got mauled pretty easily. They didn't seem to be trying very hard to scare the bears away either. Dropped right near den was a raw deal lol. I like the salal boat.
