As a angler, it angers me they get one fish and stop fishing. If you catch one, you have a good chance to get another in that small time window.

[@MarlinRoth]

I think about that too, but I wonder if it becomes challenging to store fish safely and keep it edible

[@ered203]

Right? If you are smoking one, you might as well smoke 5, and kick back for a week or two.

[@zanderdev57]

well what are you going to do with the fish? if you catch a small one then definitely catch two but if you get a good sized trout then getting another will make it rot or attract something that wants to eat it. with perishables like fish (and smelly ones at that) it has to be done quick. storing meat is a luxury when he should try to store edible plants by drying instead

[@dranelittle7726]

it's a complete waste of a week of calories and time, since you still need to waste 2 hours and 700 calories per day hauling and processing firewood. In one day, you can make a debris/ice quonset hut, stuffed with debris, that needs no fire, not even a sleeping bag, if you know to keep on your 6 layers of clothing, with debris between each layer. Until temps are consistently sub-freezing, all you need is a debris-pile inside of a tent made out of poles and the 20x20 tarp.

[@escapetherace1943]

@Kevin Hart yeah you've been in solitary for 5 months "multiple times." not something to brag about, like... at all. Unless they gain more calories than they lose I wouldn't even call it "surviving." It's just staving off eventual starvation. But shoving yourself in a debris pile is stupid, you will mentally break down eventually. The show's time-frame doesn't matter. None of it matters unless it can indefinitely sustain you.

This guy built a whole log cabin!! Im impressed

[@dranelittle7726]

so what? doing so always causes them to starve out, so it's a mistake that the dummies keep on repeating. If they'd just make a tarp-tent and get busy fishing and stripping cambium, they'd have the strength needed, when temps are sub frreezing to make a much stronger, warmer shelter out of debris and ice. It's air tight, so you dont need a fire inside of it. Stuffed with debris, it doesn't even require a sleeping bag, unless you're dumb enough to remove your clothing when inside of it, have debris between each layer of clothing, too, in order to increase the insulative effect of that clothing.

that's right, and all he needed was a tarp tent built in one half of a day, until it got too cold to rain, then he could have winterized it in half a day and not needed a fire. Save that 3 weeks and you'll win. Or you can have a pretty cabin and lose. Which would you rather?

[@angelamartin2811]

Jordan made the best cabin ever on this survival show! When he had to tap out I’m like oh no that cabin. I felt so connected to Jordan I feel he had what it took to win but I understood why he had to get back to his wife and son. He was so open about his personal life I felt so much empathy and yes no amount of money can replace family and love!

[@angelamartin2811]

I cried when he opened up about losing his little girl, it was heart breaking and to have a man that can actually open up and share his feelings like that is rare. I've been through horrible grieving, luckily not my kid, but every word he said is true. It comes in waves and it takes forever to move on. I truly think he thought doing this challenge would help him with the grieving process. But it was too soon and he realized it. He needed his family more than the money. It took a lot of courage for him to walk away (and admit that on TV). I wish him and his family only the best.

Loneliness, homesick, whatever you want to call it. Being in nature alone for long times at a time does strange things to a man. Clay was basically the same, he said he could do 90 days, but he would have to figure out how to get past that. So if it would come to the wire, Clay might also have pulled out somewhere in the 90 to 100 days limit. It's all determination. That fisher that was walking Clay's traps and eating his dinner might as well have been the final straw for Clay.

[@dranelittle7726]

@@patrickd9551 baloney. They quit cause they are starving. Roland lost 44 lbs. Jordan lost 25 lbs. Everyone else has lost 1 lb per day, on average, cause they not only dont know how to feed themselves, they dont even know how to conserve their calories, even though Carleigh showed them how, on season 3. She made it 84 days on 10,000 calories, without a fire in her debris shelter. She lost 50 lbs.

[@patrickd9551]

@@dranelittle7726 Aren't you romanticizing the situation a bit? First of all, he did shoot a dear, providing him with 50 lbs of food. Allowing him to conserve energy in the first place. Weight loss? As if Clay didn't loose weigh himself. He was rationing snow rabbits in the end, his deer meat was gone. Lastly if that fisher stayed around, grabbing the rabbits before clay did, he needed to find a new resource of food. Securing enough calories is just one thing, survival is about a mental state too. And yes, Clay was strong minded, but he has his breaking point too. And that was the main point in my argument. It takes a special kind of man to survive alone for extended periods of time.

[@johnogrady2418]

No, this log cabin is one of the worst choices possible. These dumbasses are building log cabins when they NEED to be building the most basic shelter possible. His body energy would have been better spent on finding food but he wasted it all on this monstrocity. I have not seen this guy's story arc but I predict he will go the same way as the other log-cabin builder with the heart trouble.

[@danjett7719]

@@johnogrady2418 it's not just the shelter. The cabins are so ineffective that every day after they are built, you have to waste 2 hours every day, on hauling and processing firewood for them. Why can't these fools understand that? Its a waste of 60.000 calories, enough food for for 20 days. then they waste another 20,000 calories boiling 2 qts of water at a time, twice per day, instead of boiling 3 gallons at a time, once every 3 days. That saved month would have changed the name of the winner in 7 of the 8 seasons. and nobody's got brains enough to see that is the truth of the matter.

pile up firewood, brush and small debris, cover it with the 20x20 tarp, pile on small debris, sprinkle with water, let it freeze repeat 2-3x. Light work, can do other things will waiting on the freezing. Can form the doorway with split logs, build wall around them. saves having to cut thru 6" of ice and debris when hut is finished. Use heated shovel to thaw/free-up the tarp from the ice/debris. Make a crawlway entrance in the same manner. Make a woven bough or withe/reed door, 2" thick and pack debris around it, Airtight shelter. Ice light-"glasses", 3" ID, easily made, too.

when you waste 3 weeks and 40,000 calories on a silly cabin and hauling and processing firewood (over an 80 day span) it should not shock you to find that you dont have the time to make the netting, treblehook trotlines, the pontoon outrigger raft and feed yourself with same.

[@dranelittle7726]

you can make a ring of stakes around your 'food trees" that wont let any animal climb it. You can also have a small, smoky fire that deters animals. With a horizontal line between a couple of trees, set out by themselves, you can toss a line over that line and use it to pull some tarp/tape food storage bags up in-between the trees. Once the weather is sub freezing, you can make an ice-debris igloo and store your food inside of it. Then nothing can access your goodies.

The one hack to aid you in winning this is if you get say 100 grams of meat instead of inhaling it make a soup it will fill you up and cooking with the lid on meats all the nutrients are dripping back down into the soup and it’s better flavour haha be seriously make soups out of any meat or veggies, Also to make one of your 10 items emergency rations or lentils or outs or powdered rice then use it a little each day to bolster your soups up and keep your body from freaking out and eating away at its fat reserves

I never understood why most of these people didn’t build their shelters OFF the ground. That would have been one of my first and biggest goals. All of these locations were in areas where the ground is cold and wet. A shelter with a raised floor would have made it easier to stay warm and dry.

[@ironfae]

People have stupidly latched-onto this idea that it's the shelter that saves you. and they dont know how to make the debris/ice quonset hut in one day. So they are scared that they can't feed themselves. So they waste a week on building a cabin, and then waste 2 hours and 700 calories per day hauling and processing firewood. If they knew how to make a proper shelter in a day, they could skip all that and get busy catching the 400 lbs of fish that a 6 ft, 180 lb man needs to catch in order to win while losing only 30 lbs. Every 10 lbs more that you weigh than that is 80 lbs of fish that you dont have to catch and 20 lbs of cambium that you dont have to peel. . This assumes that 80 days suffices to win, which it has in all cases but one.

[@stanzanossi]

Drane! You hit the nail on the head! As somebody who has camped out in the wilderness of Canada a lot, building a log cabin of some kind is a huge waste of time and energy! And that is even if you can find the wood and carry the tools with which to build it! A better idea is to simply build a rough structure of tree branches and leaves underneath a big coniferous tree, which you can do in a few hours! It helps to make this structure more rainproof if you carry a tarpaulin with you to put over the top of this shelter!!!😊

it only takes one day to refine workable clay out of shoreline mud and another day to make the 4 one-gallon each baked clay pots with lids, as well as the 50 clay balls for use vs small game via the slingbow. So dont waste a pick on a cookpot. You can stone boil 3 gallons of water at a time, in tarp lined pit, and store it in the sleeves of your outer shell's jacket. You need to drink a gallon per day and boiling it in that pathetic 2 qt pot is a royal pita. another stone boiling pit should be used for cooking, since it's got food poisoning potential and need not be nearly as big.

you dont need or want a cabin, saw, or ax. What you want is a Cold Steel shovel, modified to have 8" of real deal saw teeth on one side, and to remove and replace the various lengths and configuations of handles that you'll make for it on site. The awl/drill blade of the modified Crunch multitool lets you quickly make the mounting holes in the various handles. The 2 file blades let you sharpen the saw, shovel, replacement carbon steel regular knife blade

[@dranelittle7726]

a 230 lb, 6 ft tall man doesn't need to procure any food at all in 80 days, other than to harvest, dice, boil and fry the 17 lbs, 10,000 calories of cambium needed to mix with the 10,000 calories of rations that you take. If such a man knows to stay holed-up in a debris-pile, he'll lose less than 1 lb per day. 6 ft tall 140 lb marathoners are commonplace, so dropping your weight to 150 lbs is not a disqualification under the Alone rules. Every 10 lbs less than 230 lbs you weigh, you need to catch 80 lbs of fish.and you'll still win, as long as you mix it with the cambium and mostly stay holed-up, conserving your calories. This is IF you know to make your two shelters in 1 day each, make the four Baked clay pots, the pontoon outrigger raft, the pole array and hook/streamer-lure for trolling the 11 treblehook lines, all in 4 days and know how to not need a warming fire. If you weigh 180 lbs, you have to catch 400 lbs of fish and mix in 30-50 lbs of cambium (depending upon what your guts can tolerate) and you' lose only 30 lbs in 80 days, IF you know how to conserve your calories.

Parts of two days gone to make the baked clay cookpots. then either trolling the hooks, from the raftm bowfishing from shore peeling and cooking cambium, or making netting. Most of this inside of the tarp-tent or the debris-hut, in a pile of debris, conserving your calories.

A wattle and daub house would be less work as compared to the log and notch construction.

[@hp3493]

Not remotely true, otherwise they'd be commonly used on the American fronter instead of log cabins. When you have an abundance of timber wattle and daup is pointless.

[@albrownmd]

@@hp3493 i should have said wattle and daub “shelter” instead of “house”. I agree that a log cabin is a better house to be lived in permanently but in the setting of this show the wattle and daub structure makes a lot of sense in terms of energy expended to create a temporary shelter. If i was on the show, I personally wouldn’t go the log cabin route because of the large initial energy output that would be required to build the log structure. I guess we will see if the log structures or the more primitive structures win out this season.

[@hp3493]

@@albrownmd except wattle and ideally uses livestock dung and straw, so you're already going to be compromising. Also sourcing, digging and transporting mud is still labor intensive. What if your location is sandy? Wattle and daub historically was used in places lacking large quantities of timber.

both are wastes. The 20x20 tarp tent is all you need for the first 4-6 weeks. Then it's easily converted into the triangular 4x4x7 ft debris shelter, which needs no fire inside of it, in one day.

you are NOT going there to homestead. The day that you leave, all things you've created will be destroyed and the site will be returned as it was when you got there. 100 days at most will be all you're staying. Every minute and calorie are precious. So dont waste a week on a shelter, especially when a much better shelter (needing no fire) can be made in a day. Keeping a fire going for warmth costs you 2 hours and 700 calories per day. Now, that's a stupid waste of 2-3 weeks of your stay, assuming that you last 80 days or so and you didn't need the warming fire much, if any of the first 20 days. All you want or need, down to 0F, is a tent made out of poles and the 20x20 tarp, a debris bed, clothing you brought, the bivy and the 10x10 tarp that they give you. Lying on a 3 ft thick layer of dry debris, with clothing that keeps you warm at 0F, (outside in the wind) inside of a tent, where the wind is no issue, just how much of a "sleeping bag would you need at 0F, hmm? none, right. IF you have brains enough to leave your clothes on as you lseep. The 2GO Systems bivy is good for 20F degrees of warmth, too. Now, fold the 10x10 tarp in half, stuff it with a foot-thick layer of dry debris and pull the resulting 5x10 ft "blanket" over you, Now we're sleeping OK at below 0F, eh? While home, size your clothing to let you wear it all at once, WITH layers of dry grass between each layer of clothing. You get to take SIX pairs of wool socks. OUT of the reflective 12x12 tarp that you should bring, youll make mittens, anorak, leggings, shorts and a pair of booties large enough to encompass all 6 pairs of socks at once. So are your feet going to get cold? :-) No, they are not, if you have a brain. Do you need a sleeping bag? NO, you do not, if you have a brain. See, every 1" thickness of compressed debris is worth an R-value of 1. An insulated, inflated sleeping pad is considered "arctic level" if it's got an R value of 8. You can be sleeping on a pile of compressed dry debris that is 4 ft deep/tall if you wish with just as much piled over/around you. So do you need a fire? absolutely not, IF you still have bodyfat to metabolize. Once you're too skinny, you'll need an external heat source but you dont have to be stupid about it. Dont cut logs into 2 ft lengths, split them, have holes in your shelter for venting, and risk dying of CO poisoning as you sleep., burning down your shelter, etc. OUTSIDE of your shelter, using logs no shorter than you can drag (one under each arm, on a sling over your shouders) Have a 3-log Siberian fire lay. the wood need not be dry or dead. It will dry itself out as it burns. Use the Siberian to heat up 4 head sized stones for half an hour. Using the shovel with the long handle you've made, sled the rocks into your debris shelter, one by one. Do NOT get the rocks hot enough to ignite grass or pine needles that you lay on the rock as a test! If it's that hot, pour some water or snow upon the stones. Under your debris/pole bed, have 4 1 cubic foot sized holes, Put the stones in the holes, surrounded by 3" of wood ashes. The ashes slow down the heat transfer from the stones and also prevent the debris from catching fire. The stones will warm a (SEALED, insulated, SMALL) shelter for 4-5 hours. Repeat as needed. Bury your coals in the ashes and they will remain re-ignitable for 12+ hours. Snuff the Siberian and the alternative Swedish torch with ashes, so that they can be easily re-ignited. Protect some of your ashes and the Swede with a chunk of tarp, vs rain or snow melt. You'll be very weak and mistake-prone once you have no body-fat, ,so think thru every thing you intend to do and try to forestall all hazards/errors. The first time you heat warming stones, warm them very gently, for many hours. Then any moisture that they contain can be harmlessly gassified and evaporate. If you heat them too quickly, they can explode and drive frags into your face. There's no need to take such risks the first time. So dont be stupid. Reduce all risks AMAP, When you sled the head sized rock on a 5 ft long handled shovel, you're probably out of range of its frags. and you COULD attach a rope, and drag it from an even safer distance, yes? :-)

I'm hoping I see someone in this video make a trap, I forget the name I think it's a wier. You stock poles in the water and make a little cave, a small entrance at the front let's them swim in. When you want fish, you go in through the fish entrance to keep them trapped next to the shore, then just spear or use something to push them onto shore. Or just block the barrier up 100% so none escape
