Alone again.

<< < (31/124) > >>

GlisGlis:
apparently the tarp was in addition to the 10 items

Pat B:
I've tried to watch it a couple of times but it seems nobody is prepared for the situation at hand. I watched as one guy burn down his shelter and last night the guy lost his fire starter, maybe the same guy. I haven't seen Kieth except with a few cameo shots.
 I never watched any of the "reality" shows because they just weren't real...except for Mother Nature's part.

GlisGlis:
video editing is a fact but from what I can judge Alone is the only series of this kind that looks authentic

the first episode is focused on 4 participants. Keith will be in one of the next episodes

after the end of the episode there is a talk. they speak about the drop shock.
I can imagine that even an experienced bushman could feel the shift from modern living to a complete survival situation

Pat B:
But, don't you think that someone participating is such an adventure would do all they could to be prepared. Dropping and loosing your only method of making fire for example. Seems like one would protect that with your life because your life depends on it, especially in the Arctic. And instead of sitting around feeling sorry for yourself for hours, use that energy to use friction to make fire. There is usually something dry, even in rainy environments to get a fire started. Also, building a big fire in your shelter of dried materials and allowing it to get out of hand seems foolish too.
After all, you are only a radio call away from safety. I guess I've never been one for any kind of "reality" shows. Very few seem real to me.
 I am looking forward to seeing Keith in action though.

JEB:
Interesting that he lost his striker 10 days into this thing. Maybe he wanted to quit and this was his easy way out, you know tossing it in the lake,lol
