Alone: Britt’s Smokehouse (Season 5, Episode 6) | History

[@joannasarcamedes8191]

I am completely impressed by this person's strength of character and of all the alone participants I've watched this person was the most calm cool ,collected and at peace with the environment......amazing.

[@whoalookout8578]

I remember when I first watched that beginning part, I was in tears laughing so hard.

[@panogrows]

he has the best house, I think he can win easily if he does not have problems with his emotions

[@Collennecoll]

Gian Spano agree

[@officialspock]

No, its too big to heat up the whole place

[@tashadeleon8721]

@@officialspock that's right. the food need not be nearly as warm as your shelter should be (at night) You can make a fine smoker with just evergreen boughs, don't waste your tarp on it, unless rain is an issue.

[@lucymiller6616]

This dude had his head in the game. He was set to win.... And then he decided he had everything he needed in life. He didn't need the money. And he went home. Always amazes me how the mind defeats people. Anyway Sam got the money. He needed it more. Hope they got a decent vehicle. Do they even make good cars anymore?

[@djpoolservice]

Would love to meet this guy one day! He seems like an all around great person!

[@Boneclappers]

Thanks, guys. Maybe our paths will cross one day.

[@hosenmo1727]

Brrit you are funny and awesome guy. Best wishes for you and family and you parents 👍

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Britt has really surprised me on how well he's doing. He's been doing decent fishing, although as others have said, he shouldn't just raise the fish out of the water while flopping around and then trying to put a hand on it.

[@pawsNparachutes]

He has my sense of humor lol :)

[@got2kittys]

Reading the comments about this show, is really a waste of time. If these people were really good at this, there wouldn't be any dramatic show. To all the commenters, the first fail will be your bright ideas, and plans learned from the internet.

[@jerrybates9839]

not everyone is as ignorant as you are, bro.

[@BLAZENYCBLACKOPS]

Every idea Britt comes up with is like Wile E Coyote trying to catch the roadrunner.

[@cantbringmedowntoday]

That intro made me laugh out loud haha

[@tashadeleon8721]

I see that he has also not learned to not lift fish by the hook and line. Pull them to you in the water, grab them by the gills, put them on a stringer or bash their head. Then remove the hook.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

tasha deleon yes, that's not a good way to land a fish. Many are lost that way. They start wiggling, flopping around more, or you risk getting a hook in your finger or hand more this way. Try to bring towards you in the water and either lip land ( depending on type of fish), or by the gills. If for some reason they can't, it would be better just to back up and drag it onto the bank instead of lifting straight up out of the water.

[@shadowglitch2048]

I love this series, it reminds me of where you really are. like minecraft and other kinds

[@ligleriana3393]

That had me rolling.. Just think, MASSIVE close up!,,, hahahahahahaha

[@tashadeleon8721]

They are burning 2 cords of wood per week out there. A cord is 4x4x8 ft, a small pickup truck load. You do NOT want to have to waste all of the time and calories needed to process and haul all of that wood. An outside fire, projecting its heat thru the clear, vertical side of a tarp lean-to, does not have to have the logs split or cut to length. A Siberian fire lay is its own shelter from the rain or snow and it's easily re-ingnited once it's gone out, due to the charring of the underside of the up-raised, projecting logs. So, even if you DO need to use a fire, you don't need to process much wood. Another trick is to use an alternative Swedish torch to heat a big stone and then the stone can warm your shelter. The swede will warm a pair of stones, 6" thick and a foot in diameter. You can make a swede in 10 minutes. You can make an igloo or primitive shelter, good enough to protect your firewood, in half a day.

Britt's return impressed me a lot. His first season was kind of weak. You could see the fire in him the 2nd time around. He really threw everything he had into it. I really thought he was going to take it.

[@lucymiller6616]

He ended up being one of those people who pressed the button, because they "accomplished everything they set out to do." Isn't that the same as admitting you never intended to win?

[@shellbacksclub]

hooe he knows to usethe fish guts as bait.

[@tashadeleon8721]

people need to get OVER this idea that you want or need a big shelter, super strong, etc. You are NOT homesteading. All of that material is going to be taken down and scattered again, as soon as you leave. All you want or need is a tarp-lean to and then an igloo. Don't waste time and calories on more of a shelter than those two types, or on having to heat it with a fire. Keep it small and well-insulated, and you wont need a fire for warmth. The Innuit had no warming fires inside of their igloos. They just had small fat or oil lamps, for light and cooking. obviously, the temps inside of an igloo can't be warmer than 32F degrees at the surface of the snow.

[@jamesfishfish9099]

Britt i enjoy wstvhing you on youtube i wish i was there with you to help you cstch more fish im an old tackle maker and One good fisherman

[@theroguetrapper9524]

Good job with the fish. Now kill a deer and make some jerky.

[@backtothebush6629]

Smoking fish in the shelter after hearing and seeing bear sign around camp. This is the type that brings food in the tent in Alaska. What does it say in the beginning of the show? "These are trained professionals" HE, HE, HEEEE

[@treerat6959]

Back to the Bush buddy I been preaching this b.s about the trained professionals for years now, where are they lol. Just having a Utube channel doesn't make one a professional anything maybe knowledgeable but not a professional.

[@Foxkitten86]

'Smoke' being the operative word here... predators are wary of smoke, and even so, if they come visiting, then it isn't necessary to go out and FIND them. Wait for them to come to you.

[@jerrybates9839]

i want all the animals possible coming to my shelter, so I can arrow and eat them.

[@tashadeleon8721]

if they knew to take the 3 lbs of salt, they could make a brine, for dipping the strips of fish or meat and that would help preserve the food until it can be smoked/dried/frozen. If they knew to make a 4x4x7 ft Kochanski super shelter lean-to out of the 12z12 tarp (half of it reflectorized, half of it clear material). Add a 2x2x2 ft pit just inside of the door flap, for the cold air to sink into, get yourself up a foot off the ground with a raised wooden bed, and have two layers of tarp, with dry debris between them and the edges sealed with tape. and it'll be 30F degrees warmer inside of your super shelter than outside because of your body heat's being trapped inside of the shelter. . Wind chill will not be a factor and you can build such a shelter in one hour. Thus, no warming fire is needed until it's 0F or a bit colder. By then, you'll have the two inches of snow needed to make an igloo. The igloo raises temps by 50F degrees, using just your body heat. So, not only do you save the week it takes to make a shelter, you also save the 2-3 weeks of cutting, hauling and processing wood. If need be, the super shelter can be heated with big rocks under your bet, and/or with a Siberian fire lay outside, "aiming" its one way projected heat at the vertical, clear side of the super shelter. This at least does not require splitting of the wood, or cutting it to length, which is still a huge savings. given the -30F, $300, synthetic sleeping bag, such shelters are all you need. Saving 3 weeks' worth of calories and time (to be fishing) would have put a clear 200k in both of the season 7 gal's pockets. Sheer ignorance cost them a lot, eh?

[@Ricky_Spanishh]

You can make an igloo with 2 inches of snow? Really 🙄

[@bigbird4481]

This feels like armchair advice

[@허졔-n5q]

올ㅋ

[@jerrybates9839]

you've got to get some baited net weirs going for you, set for both waterfowl and fish. Try using a seine, too. Make a pontoon outrigger raft. It only takes a day, very few, small logs and they dont even have to float. Most of the work can be done in camp, by firelight, being warmed by the one way projected heat, sitting in your shelter, on the raised wooden bed, with a head-sized hot rock under you, your bedding over your legs and around you.

[@tempgirl00711]

He had best house, but didn't any of these people watch reruns? Most everyone uses their families as an excuse to quit. It's either the kids or the wife, or the boy friend, or god knows who else. Seriously, it's hard, and u can't hack it, but stop using the people u love as the enemy and easy excuse to give up on urself. Jus sayin. Keep it real. Ur kids and wife don't want ur weak azz home, they want u to fight harder, and hang in there. It's hard and the previous shows have shown us that, but if u quit, just announce u're quitting, not I miss this or miss them or whatever b.s. own ur failure. I love my fam too, but it's not as if I'm gone for years? Seriously. They'd appreciate it if I fought hard as heck, not that Im quitting cuz of them? Many father's n mother's r gone longer than that for business trips. I was rooting for this guy!!! Dam!!! And the women, please, stop the nonsense and make us proud. Stop all the silly fires, and whining, and clumsy stabbing urself!!! Focus u can do it!!!!

[@tashadeleon8721]

They just dont have people who are in it to win it, man. They tap out like it's nothing. Not having that clear 1/4 million $ to invest can easily be DISASTROUS for your life, man. It's not a lark, it's not a whim, or at least, if it is such to you, then you dont belong on this show.

[@tashadeleon8721]

They can easily catch many hundreds more lbs of fish if they make lots of netting out of the 2-person rope hammock and the 34 of the 20x20 tarp that you don't need for anything else. But they are too ignorant/lazy to do so. When you use the netting as a duck weir, 3" mesh suffices. Once the fowl have all migrated, you can convert the 3" mesh weirs to 1.5" mesh by weaving in splits of local vegetation. The seine, however, requires 1.5" mesh to be made from the synthetic cordage, cause the way you use a seine puts much more stress upon the netting. You can make at LEAST. 100 Sq ft of 1.5" mesh netting per day. and the seine need not be more than 600 sq ft. In fact, 300 sq ft will probably catch all of the fish that you can pull ashore.

[@tashadeleon8721]

should read 3/4ths of the 20x20, my bad.

[@alph8654]

I think you should sign up and go on Alone. You are bound to win with all of your knowledge.

[@tashadeleon8721]

oops, should read 3 lb block of salt, not fish, my bad

[@taylormorrison3825]

First can you pin?

[@tashadeleon8721]

that is a very small river. it would be very easy to stretch a seine across it, then move downriver with another seine, say 100m from the first net, with driven poles helping you move the net. In half a day, you'll have caught 10+ lbs of fish. Then rig the nets as a couple of baited weirs, and go do all of the other things that need to be done, on top of eating the 6 lbs of prepped fish. The weirs will have as much for you the next day. You can hold those fish in a net "pen" in the river as you seine it again. This way, you can build up bodyfat as well as build up a store of salted/smoked/dried fish, and have the guts/heads to use as bait. Fishing with pole and hook is a waste of precious nice weather.

[@seanb6986]

Why don’t you make a video demonstrating your extraordinary survival skills?

[@tashadeleon8721]

there's no place here to do it. It's all desert and either Indian land or military base.

[@tashadeleon8721]

top swimmers eat 10,000 calories PER DAY when in training. They do so by eating a lot of fat that you can't get in the wild, but they still take in LARGE amounts of food. So you CAN learn to ingest 5000 calories of fish, greens, lean meat, tubers every day, which will perhaps increase your weight by 1/2 lb per day. Be the first person to GAIN say, 30 lbs in 2 months of this show, and you'll clear yet ANOTHER 1/4 million $ in the next 2-3 years after you win, cause everyone will seek you out as a survival instructor.

[@tashadeleon8721]

the 20x20 tarp can be made into 4000 sq ft of 4" mesh netting, which can be folded over and tied into being 2" mesh, or you can weave local vegetation into it, making it 2" mesh. Or you can just weave it as 2" mesh, of course. It makes fine seines and baited net weirs. They need to be catching at least 20 lbs of fish per day, using the heads and guts to catch mammals, more fish, birds, crawdads.

[@tashadeleon8721]

EVERY last survival manual says, when it comes to foraging food "fish first", cause fish are by far the most likely thing to give you back more calories than you spend getting them. That's IF you know how to get them. It wont happen, in most areas, by trying to catch them with your bare hands. It's QUITE easy to do so, however, if you have enough netting and use it properly.

[@tashadeleon8721]

you can learn to eat up to 8 lbs of fish per day, which is what you get if if catch 15 lb of live weight fish. Nobody's caught that much. If you knew to bring the 3 lb block of fish, you'd be able to store fish for months. by then, temps will be below freezing

[@jerrybates9839]

should read 3 lb block of salt.
