Dangit. Your posts always make me wish we had a laugh react like Facebook lol.

I remember one guy, don't remember the season, who caught fish like crazy, smoked and dried them then was removed from the show for starvation reasons with 30 or so fish still waiting to be eaten, he was rationing his supply of fish too stringently.

You must have a lot of fat in your diet. Just meat or fish won't do.

Absolutely. I remember an elderly couple was deemed no longer competent to care for themselves because they would not heat their farmhouse during a bitterly cold winter. The sheriff found them wearing all their clothing and in bed under all their blankets. He paid for a tank of propane, lit their furnace and said he'd be back again soon to check on them. The next day he went back and they were bundled up in bed again. They'd SHUT OFF THE FURNACE! When pressed to explain, they said they were saving the propane "for an emergency".....it was -35F!!! Being thrifty with your resources are inportant, but they cannot be your only deciding factor. And especially more so in the situation where there is a finite amount of time for the game and you always have a tap out option like the contestants do.
And you are right, WF. Fat intake on Alone is often a deciding factor. In Season 11 the lucky ones were catching sheefish/inconnu along with the northern pike. Pike have a fat content of 0.9%, but the sheefish have 2.9%! Sheefish are 115 calories per 100 grams, pike has 88 calories per 100 grams.

Pretty good so far, I was surprised to hear the gal that killed the warthog say she couldn't shoot at the waterbuck because she only had a 50# bow and it was too low poundage, she said it took 60# to kill the buck, nonsense. She seemed a little disjointed but she did get the hog. The other gal seems to have it more together. Only one of the guys shown so far seems to have the right skills, I can never remember names.
