Watching it right now.
Not a chance. Too accustomed to my beer and bacon lifestyle now. ;-)It would be scary not having a weapon of some sort besides you knife.
I know that casting for next season is open right now, send in your tape and give it a go.
come on up in November. marble river campsite is quit nice. bring a knife axe and tarp. try it out.
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
