ALONE. Survival

[huntin50]

My wife and I have been watching Alone on HULU. There are some tough people surviving extreme conditions, trapping, fishing, hunting. Anyone else watching? Learning some things that might help in extreme conditions.

Learn to shoot a recurve, lights out.

Never watched it. Still plowing through the SpongeBob episodes. So far I’ve learned there is a lot more to bikini bottom than meets the eye.

But I’ll have to check out Alone.

Alone is pretty good. Too many bears for my comfort.

Those guys are hardcore.

They are, mostly….. seems like they always invite one or two with issues that tap out quick.

I’ve read some old stories about women in early days of American settlers and how tough some women were. While I don’t remember that any woman have won an Alone event yet some of those gals are damn tough, mentally and physically. On average, there not quitters, a lot of them are forced to leave by the medical staff, if were left up to them, they would have stayed, even knowing there could well be irreversible damage to their internal organs.

The mental issues and accidents seem to take as many down as physical failures.

Wife and I have watched most all of them except the most recent.

I've seen some new tips and tricks but I've also seen contestants make for pretty poor decisions and it cost them.

At least it's REAL survival and opposed to "Survivor" the show. That's just a game (some things are tough) and a popularity contest.

Yes they, or at least as we see what the producers want us to see, face some pretty interesting circumstances.

It seems like most of the quitters do so because they miss family members.

Yeah, WTH is up with that?

And then there was the girl that quit because she didn't want to kill the bunny's. SMMFH

Had to be a shill……. Or she’d never watched an episode before she applied.
