100%... I remember watching an episode of MvW where Bear Grylls or whatever his name is suggested the best way to traverse a skree slope was to move as quick as possible and... that's just, not great advice even if the physics are correct. Could never watch the show again knowing some idiot probably took that advice and ate shit and ended up with a mouth full of rocks. Less Strouds my survivor lol

You nailed it. So many of these guys have this great array of skills but they lack the creativity to apply them in situations they weren't trained for. Then there's always that "too fit" for survival issue.... some of these guys come in just all lean muscle, then of course they're passing out on day 5 because they didn't catch an antelope and their body has nothing stored to burn. 10-15 years ago I would've been all about taking a crack at it... now, no chance. And it's definitely not because I'm "too fit" hahaha

I thought exactly the same . My strategy would be to definitely carry in a fridge full of food on my midriff to burn at least the first week or so . I’d honestly love to have a crack at it if I was 10 years younger . I’ve been exposed a good degree of my life to the elements so I’d be hoping that’s an advantage and I’ve got reasonable adaptation skills . Not saying I’d last but I’d love to try .

Got a couple of those old trench warfare Enfields kicking around as well . We used to take them to sea as a shark suppressor . Very affective ? . Double tap to make sure

i think its called Trailer Park Boys

God save the QUEEN too...she is failing in health and Charles will usher in armageddon... !!!
The Crown will be quite different next round.

TV shows you say

Yellow stone is AWESOME
1883 is BETTER...WOW i love it. I am a Canadian and seeing what people went through in 1883...taking land that was not ours...etc....go through apache land and die..all of you die.

And its more real than what we have seen before..

And more than that too..in 1883 it was a rancher giving a steer to first nations people because they knew they would starve.

FANTASTIC TV

I watch a lot of TV when i am too baked to move.

Like the old saying goes, "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".

For me it was when he went down into a vertical walled canyon, into water, and (supposedly) dove under and through without knowing what was on the other side. Just fucking idiotic. That was the only time I ever watched that trash.

I spend 95%+ of my outdoors time alone. I can't be doing cowboy shit. A simple sprained ankle could be my end if it happens in the wrong time or place. When in the bush I move like I drive: like an old lady, slow and cautious. And so far I've always got where I was going. ?

ALONE... man i can not watch it.

I went deer hunting in the 80s ...with a big group and i had a 100% knack for getting lost in the woods.

So i carried 2 cans of stew...2 cans of soup and fire starters...they found me at night one time because i had a rager fire...and the smell of food cooking.

I am a survivor man but i go prepared... oh i was a boy scout...makes sense when i think about it

Since I'm a fisherman, I spend most of my time with a cheat code, IE there is a water body nearby for orientation. When I go hunting, I'm very aware that I don't have that, and how easy it is to get disoriented.

I'll always remember my father telling the story of a deer hunt in the 70's. He parked his truck and started working the bush, moving south. After an hour or so of southernly travel, he came into a clearing. There sat his truck. He said it blew his mind. He wasn't able to accept that it was his truck until he actually tried the key. He sat there for an unknown time trying to wrap his mind around the total failure of his sense of direction. Years later, when he told the story, you could still hear the bewilderment in his voice.

There are countless similar stories of traveling in circles or in the wrong direction shared by survivors and many, many more that were never shared

.
I don't carry a dedicated GPS, but I do carry a couple of compasses. There is a decent one in my pack or pocket and a little clip-on that is either on my shirt or pack strap for quick consultation.

Yep Tom Baker suited the role better than the rest in my opinion . He had that Zany almost eccentric thing happening with the grandmas knitted scarf and his bag of Jelly beans . Sarah was pretty hot too back in the day ?

I do like him and his scarf. I first saw Doctor Who when Chris was the Doctor, and then watched older stuff too.

Naked and Afraid always gets me wondering as well . Could I hack it ? Maybe …….. maybe not . I’m certainly under no illusions it’s a walk in the park . I do laugh though when I see the big ex marine rock up claiming he’s gonna kick the jungles ass only to see the chick last longer than him . Ahhhh mental fortitude is often in those you least expect

Lol I'm not running around a jungle naked; specially in the Amazon.... not without a steel condom.... Candiru, and Candiru Acu.... Catfish that go right up in you and one fully documented case of one swimming up a stream if piss, and into the willy.... they use pectoral fin barbs to "walk" in your pecker.... nope. The small Catfish and the big ones will take a Crack at you lol.

You must've seen me trying to find my ride when I hafta go to a mall! Kidding aside, it's serious business.

About the cheat code - this is what ruined Blair Witch Project for me. "You're standing next to a large stream/small river. Why would you ever leave it?"

I have a Red Tail Catfish and even though he's a baby he's crazy strong already. Some of those Catfish are risky beautiful and quite a few are down right scary lol.

American TV really sucks...I can't fuckin stand it because all of these SHITTY actors make their politics known and I cannot see past that and it is fucking boring. It's also just the same thing over and over....nothing new or interesting.
Background***"
I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese...Spanish because of where I have lived in my life (Palermo - Buenos Aires - Argentina) and who I married (Basque) "I do not speak or understand any of her Basque (Euskara) lingo...I think it is incomprehensible...ack ack ugh ugh errr errr...but also she speaks French and Spanish as local dialects...and Portuguese was my language I learned in the military as our theatre of operation was Latin and South America...so mostly at my house we speak either English or Spanish.
I am White as the driven snow by the bye...
I love Brazilian TV and sports...I used to play polo so I love to watch sports from SA...
The novellas are absolutely hilarious and violent...always crime oriented...as with all socialism it creates voids that black markets fill.( I love the fine art of politely insulting the shit out of someone that the women have)
I'm sure most can be found sub titled in English...which after watching Ertugral and Osman Kurulus which is in Turkish and sub titled in English...it's not so bad...still watching Kurulus as it comes out weekly in 1 to 2+ hour episodes. No I'm not Muslim but Bogdan ( producer) follows the Ottoman history very closely in these shows.(interesting) Amazing actors/actresses...Princessa Sophia a Byzantine...a rival of Osman Ghazi is my favorite...hot and angry, would slit your throat if you look at her sideways.
There is just so much more to TV then American TV.
Street Outlaws...liked it a little bit until this year...I find the format taken in the ruse of covid as bullshit and unwatchable...same as wicked tuna...unwatchable.
So here I am watching El Patron Del Mal...excellent show...a most pure Spanish language is spoken, very easy to follow.
Hope that didn't bore you, but it's how I feel about TV.
Honestly only watch about 6-8 hours tv a week...about an hour a day.

nice to meet a cultivator that is across the pond (US) agree - the less TV one watches is the best and that also goes for video games

Ghost Hunters is awesome in my opinion. I do watch some shows but TV is called programming for a reason.

Loved Survivorman! Best show ever and I too learned a lot. Always be prepared?

Me too. Even though he's from Ontario, his "home turf" is Northern Boreal forest, just like me.

Have you seen Survivorman:Bigfoot? The Alberta episodes were filmed about an hour's drive from where I grew up. There is also one shot in the Hoopa Valley in your state.
It's interesting, Stroud mentions that if you discuss the idea in the east people have a laugh, but if you bring up the subject with rural people or outdoorsmen from the western third of North America it isn't a joke anymore. Lots of interesting stories, and lots of very similar experiences.

I haven't but will look it up. We've got the movie Red on the tube, a/c on high - there's a hurricane about 250-300 miles South of us bringing high winds while raising the temp that's already too hot and I expect to lose an 8' section of fence or two while fighting off the beginnings of a cold kind of day.

Absolutley loved that show and vividly remember waiting for the next episode to air. So much knowledge on top of an interesting adventure all alone working cameras too while also caring for himself. Amazing. I grew up in a city SE of LA and was taken fishing and hunting from a young age and since have spent a lot of time in the woods but nothing like he or you continue to do. Done my share of backpacking and loved most every minute and will do a bit more even at my age.

I've never seen anything there and I've run across (a few?) animals. Almost walked up to a black bear at twilight at a dumpster, a young one getting into a trash can (I'm seeing a pattern here) that raised up and was a tall as me, several raccoons at night looking like something odd in the woods so who knows. I sure as hell no not want to see something like that in person, ever.
