Alone again.
Hawkdancer:
That "alone" factor is what set the mountain men apart. Many of them linked up with various native bands for the winter. The Rocky Mountains were called the High Lonesome" for a solid reason. Some of them were plumb crazy, if they survived! Haven't seen any of the show, though.

I saw snow on the previews, only place I want to see snow is while I'm driving down the freeway looking West at the mountains. Although I saw a woman carrying a takedown bow, might make it interesting.

The extreme cold may introduce the need to collect more wood and build more comfortable shelters altough starting with a lot of fat strapped on yourself seems to be a great benefit
bjrogg:
Haven't seen any previews yet. Should be set up to record the show though. Got my curiosity peaked. Wondering where exactly they are and when they get dropped off. If it's on the sea ice I'd be sitting by a blow hole.

Where can I see "Alone"? I tried Googling it but came up with naked people and they weren't in a survival situation. ::)
