This week's girl seems delightful. Whether she is a good survivalist, she seems like she would be nice to hang out with for 3 weeks.

Not bringing a fire starter is such a big fuck up. The primitive fire making techniques are all terrible. I guess this blows my theory about the items being standard this year though.

primative firemaking techniques are a pain in the ass in the best of situations with a good supply of dry tinder. Trying to use those in the settings most of these people are in becomes nearly impossible and lacking fire makes drinking water a serious issue. I guarantee if I ever went on a show like this a firestarter kit would always be my first choice. You can get by without a lot of things but lacking fire can be very dangerous.

The problem I have with these people is that when they tend to do the fire, they both stand by each other. One person needs to constantly keep on working the shelter.

usually it's after 1 or 2 days of no fire, which means no water, so i'm suspecting they're thinking "WE FUCKING NEED FIRE NOW", and usually since it's mostly the bow technique, 1 person holds the top that lets the stick spin while the other uses the bow.

The bow drill looks so exhausting. Flint all the way, baby. But, one person should still focus on the shelter while the other works on the fire.

so now the fire starter comes standard. this chick looks like a scrub.
SHE MALFUNCTIONED, YO

She was cute but that damn mouth would get old right damn quick. Wasn't too impressed by the dude either. Also, I call bullshit that he lost his water at the beginning of his trek and made it out without assistance. No way you could go a day and half walking miles in 110+ degree weather without water.

i think when the medic needs to be called in then you start getting food and water. no way that dude went from 102 fever bawling in the night to making a 4 mile trek the next day, in 100 degree weather with no water. either they abbreviated that extraction distance by a far margin or it was all bullshit. dude seemed perfectly fine when he was on the back of the truck.

You know, I'm wondering if there's something one can do about the mosquitoes. That has been the consistent bane of existence for every survivalist. Could one weave some type of blanket out of leaves or whatever and lie under it? Would that help at all?

My coworker was talking about that just the other day, and he insisted that if you just covered yourself with enough palm fronds or other leaves that you'd be fine. I told him I doubted it, and that they probably tried just about everything over the course of some of these shows. About the only thing I could see *maybe* possibly working is if you're in a place with sand (but no sand fleas/mites) and you could sort of lightly bury yourself each night, but you'd still have to cover your face somehow. And you couldn't move. So that isn't very feasible either.

I think if it takes you all day to walk 4 miles then you have to be very fucked up. 4 miles should be under 2 hours walking. He also went like 12-16 hours without water depending on when he spilled it. Not great for you in that weather but definitely not impossible especially considering that he probably tanked up before he left.

This girl was obviously picked for her nice ass rather than her survival skills. She is a perfect example of a hot chick that has been told how great she is all her life by people who want to fuck her and now has no idea that she is actually totally worthless. The fact that she was talking about them giving her another shot even though she was probably the worst contestant in the history of the show is a pretty good indicator of how self-aware she is.

My only beef with the dude was that he started out on his trek at like noon the first day and 9 AM the second day. With all the talk about how they couldn't sleep I couldn't figure out why there weren't doing shit early in the morning or late in the evening and napping in the shade during the heat of the day.

i don't get it, the best part is to see ppl fail at primitive fire for 10 days straight

I wonder if they take the area into consideration with the personal items. If you didn't have a way to get water for a week and it's 110 degrees out every day you are probably fucked.

I find it interesting that all of these women begin their menstrual cycle at the very start of the show. Do they not keep a calendar? Is it the intention of the producers? Do the women make it up and use it as an excuse as being a waste of human space? I'd totally do Naked and Afraid if I could guarantee a hot silver daddy as my partner. Ha ha.


Anyone else noticing that they're starting to get MORE survival items? Before it was just two items total. Then they give a fire starter AND two items. This is going the way of Survivor.

i hate that 90% of the time it's the guy doing everything and the chick is just laying down, putting a twig on the fire. Where the guy also has like a vast PSR (i know it's shit, but for now...) and the girl is always hovering around 6PSR.

Only time i really remember a girl stepping up is, cool basket weaving surfer girl when the retard got skin-burned like a lobster for 5 days.

I am pretty sure when you tap out and call the medics the camera team is allowed to give you water/food to get you extracted to medial attention.
