How pissed would the chick they matched me with be that my one 'survival item' that I brought along was a can of Copenhagen?
So I've been watching 'Naked and Afraid' reruns
- Thread starter TheGerman
- Start date
The only good episode was the guy who was setting dead fall traps and eating the rats. IIRC he was matched with some vegan or something and he probably gained six pounds during the three weeks.
I love the look on their faces when you're fiddling with their happy button and have fresh grains stuck to your fingers.
No, that's sisters and they would only be naked but not afraidTasmania?
One of my guilty pleasures is this show--I like the ones that are not 'jungle' based like Himalayas or Alaska. Learned some cool stuff on the show. Like having a good knife.
As far as @TheGerman and his can--one episode guy went out while trying to quit smoking. Lasted like 4 days. BRING YOUR COPENHAGEN lol (IIRC his item was duct tape which worked suprisingly well).

one of them lost the firestarter...idiot. That's one thing that actually IS important. 1 fire starter, 1 knife - a real knife too, not this cheap shit these people call knives.
One of the good ones was the twins from Australia.
. I love the ones who drink then get sick because they "thought it was clean."
The guy that went into the camera crew camp and stole their food.
They didn't show how they got caught but...... Were they sitting around their camp drinking beer and eating chips and the camera crew is like, WTF?

That show is pretty much garbage.
It's about people trying to starve as slowly as possible to run out the clock.
The XL version is only mildly better.
In a real emergency, most of the contestants would be "volunteered" to help fill the protein banks.

I prefer "Alone" much more than this. A lot show up BSing their way in but you always get a handful that know some shit.
I was toying with entering my wife, figured the weight loss would do us both good.
Guilty pleasure of mindless tv for sure. Ive seen them all. Its who can starve the best for 21 days. Making them naked does add an element of fucked up to the situation.
I agree with FUNCTIONAL. Alone is the better show.
The one reality check is that most likely none of the flashy, showy, overly paid, "survival gurus" would be able to put on a backpack and hike out into the wilderness and live well for even a full year without any help / assistance / re-supply / help from society.
MOST of what these "survival shows" seem to teach folks, would be great ways to make sure you wind up dead rather quickly.

I despise 99.9% of television.
And 100% of "reality TV".
I'd rather read a book.

The recruiter for that show actually called me one day, and I was a bit drunk and whenever she found out my age it was like... "uh, you don't really fit our demographic." Bye! Nobody wants to see a nekkid old guy, even me.
I've taught & demonstrated primitive skills for years. I'd probably starve to death because I never ever actually had to use any of that stuff other than in my yard. I always tell people, "Knowing how to flintknap or make a bow & arrow won't do you much good when guys with machineguns are chasing ya through the woods!"
On the other hand, I know lots of guys who use homemade Osage Orange bows and rivercane arrows with stone points to kill deer every year. Then they braintan the skin, etc.

Only one real survival "like" show has ever been on the TV: Les Stroud. Sure, he had a crew within radio range; but nobody was there with him. He didn't do stupid shit either like peeing into a dead snake's skin and drinking his piss later on as he cross the desert...eh hmmm Bear. He couldn't have filmed had he gone through a US production company due to rules or something (IIRC).
Les kind of blew it with his Bigfoot shtuff.

If i recall, all they did was bicker, there was no teamwork, no one took charge and they didn't even seek the basics like water and shelter.
I like the competitors who state, “I can start a fire in less than 3 mins, every time.” Then it comes down to the nut cuttin time and they’re freezing their asses off for a week. lmao
Screw that.
I wonder if you still got paid if you banged the snot out of your partner the first couple of days and then tapped out?
Asking for a friend.

There’s an episode with a guy and a lesbian. The lady was a total psycho. I felt sorry for him. She ended up tapping out because he wouldn’t mind her well enough when she told him where or how to stand.

N&A episode when the chick was some Ginger from AK, dropped into Hondo or wherever SA after a hurricane hit. She got roasted in the sun, and eaten by the bugs....DAMN.....They made it but she was wrecked.
I watched the “ashes to ashes” episode. I think I could stay out a few nights with Army Barbie!
