--- Quote from: Buckskinner on August 12, 2022, 12:43:11 pm ---Juan had the best plan and most determination to will and that's how it turned out.  Instead of burning through massive amounts of calories chopping firewood and hunting tiny little tree rats and such, he went dormant.  Karie did lots of stuff that wasted calories like having a snowball fight with herself and cutting saplings for making skis for hunting even though she couldn't draw her bow, etc.

--- End quote ---

Juan's gamble paid off handsomely. I doubt there have been more than 2 or 3 chat could have pulled it off due to soft living except for a weekend here or there. When I saw he did a 30 day stint in the Canadian winter, I had a sense that he had an edge few others had....that this was familiar ground for him.

Maybe it was the editing and the choice to focus showing her goofiness, but Kari never seemed to be taking a serious approach to the risks and her main task. To my mind, she was focused on the camera and being a running advertisement for her "brand". That and the airy-fairy cultural appropriation of other peoples didn't sit well with me.

I was surprised with the absolute lack of bigger game. That sure threw a spanner in the works for a great number of people that gambled on putting up a big jackpot larder.

My opinion, for what little weight it may carry.

Eric Krewson:
I just checked Kari Lees go fund me account for her wilderness school, she was shooting for $250K and has raised $42K and is still getting donations.

I donated a few bucks when she started the account, then again, I like eccentric nut cases, they kinda' remind me of me.

GlisGlis:
First episode
It seems prime bears land
I will not wait to see the other participants and put my money on Lee Ray DeWilde

bjrogg:
First episode looks like some decent hunting and fishing.

Looks like some pretty good archers, Bush crafters and just plain interesting contestants. I’m not putting money on anyone yet. Thinking this one might take awhile if the weather doesn’t get to terrible, which it most likely will.

Pappy:
Yep watched the first and looking forward to seeing what happens,seems the fishing and hunting should be better on this one.  :)
