there's debris everywhere and if you know anything, you can dry out all of the debris that you need (for insulation) in one day.and then KEEP it dry with the 10x16 tarp that the produers give to everyone. You will launch at 50F degrees and it wont even freeze for a month. So you dont need the debris (as insulation) right-away anyway. All you need is the multiple layers of clothing that you get to take and the reflective tyvek bivy, maybe some hot rocks in your spare socks, in the foot box of the bivy, to get thru the first month of this challenge. You dont need more of a shelter than just the tarp and tape tent for that time period and you dont need a sleeping bag. The reflective tyvek bivy, XL size, is several times more useful than the sleeping bag, cause it's unaffected by its getting-wet. so you can wear it as a rain poncho, use it as a rain-canopy, and line the stone-boiling pit with it. After it freezes, you can always devote the few hours needed to add the external pole frame, the 6" thick layer of dry debris-insulation to the outside of the tent and cover the debris with the producer's tarp. this suffices until at least day 60, without any need of a heat source inside of the tent. when it' starts being even colder, remove the tarp from the debris/covering of the tent. Cover the loose dry debris with a 2' thick layer of WET debris, just at dusk. Let this debris freeze. Repeat for 2 more nights, for a 6" thick total layer of frozen debris on top of the loose debris. Because it's too cold for rain to be a threat, this layer of frozen debris suffices. Fold the 10x16 ft tarp in half, making a 10x8ft "bag". Stuff it with a 6" thick layer of dry debris. and fold it in half again. You'll lose some size to the stuffing/thickness, but youlll end up with a 4 by 8 ft sleeping bag, after you've tied the edges to secure the debris inside of your "bag". Use some pebbles, or whittled buttons of wood from one side of the tarp and slip knots from the other side, so you can tie the edges of the tarp shut, without puncturing the tarp. The Producers wont allow you to cut up, puncture or tape anything to their tarps. remove enough of the dry debris stuffings inside of your tent to let you move the debris-bag to your raised pole-bed. Replace as much of the tent-stuffings as possible. and youll be sleeping ok at 0F, without any heat-source. being needed, at 0F. You'll never see 0F, cause youll starve out before it gets that cold (ie, mid December)

if your assigned part of the lake has few or no fish, there's a way to FIX that. get 400m of string, made from the cotton rope hammock /Every 20m along this 'chum-line' attach a wooden float and a little tarp and tape bag, with maggots, grubs, insect, rotted wood, moldy ground, fish parts, etc, in the bag. Poke a few little holes in the bags, so that the "goody" drips out a bit at a time. Use the pontoon outrigger raft (made in one day) to take one end of the chumline out into the lake and and anchor it out there. The scent/taste of the baits will bring in minnows and big fish will come for the minnows.

people are quite ignorant about how many calories per day you need to eat if you spend long, hard days outside of your shelter. If you stay "holed-up", you'll need 3000 calories per day, as a big man, to lose no body weight. If you're out in the cold, wind, dampness all day, moving a lot, you'll need 4000-5000 calories per day. That will mean that you lose 1.3 lbs of bodyweight per day instead of "only" .80 lb per day. That "extra' 1/2 lb of weight lost per day means a lot by the end of 80 days, guys! Sitting under the pavilion, weaving netting, with the two Siberian fire lays projecting their one way heat from both sides of you, you wont be using up nearly as many calories and the fish that the 1200 sq ft of netting will catch for you, mixed with cambium, will make a huge difference in how long you can stay. That diet wont be pleasant and you cant choke down enough of it to stop your weight loss, but it WILL cut those losses in HALF. This buys you time and gives you the bait necessary to arrow a bear.

each weir needs to be at most 200 sq ft of netting. It's not feasible to move more than 600 sq ft of seine by yourself, in cold water. You can make 1400 sq ft of 2" mesh netting out of the two person cotton rope hammock. 400 sq ft of that netting can be used as gillnets, and that gillnet can be 4" mesh , so you can have 800 sq ft of gillnet, plus the seine usually set as a gillnet.. You can make at least 100 sq ft of 2" mesh netting per day, or twice that much 4" mesh, so you''ll soon be catching a LOT of fish, Use 50 lbs of whole fish and 50 lbs of heads/guts (fat boiled out of them) as bait for a bear. Set up this bait in a stake and log box, so that only a bear can tear it open. create this bait-box 10m from your tree blind, 20 ft up. Fish and cambium can't keep you from losing body weight. Eat as much of it as you can and you can cut your loss of weight in half. Eating bear fat and meat CAN not only prevent weight loss, it can help you GAIN weight, replacing the 15+ lbs that you lost before you could arrow a bear.

nobody's even known to bring a slingbow and 3-piece take-down arrows, so that they can always have their projectile weapon on their person. ALL shoreline mud has workable clay in it and it's easy to refine-out that clay from the other materials in that mud. Then you make the five 1-gallon each baked clay pots, their close-fitting, gasketed lids and the 100 clay balls you can use in the slingbow. No more lost or damaged arrows shot at small game or birds, no hours or calories wasted looking for arrows.

it takes half an hour to boil 2 qts of water, if you've let your fire die-down. This includes waiting for the cup to cool off enough to let you drink from it. You have to do this 3x per day. That's 10.5 hours per week. Well, if you stoneboil 5 gallons of water in a pit, twice a week, that takes 1.5 hours. .make a basket on-site, line it with a hunk of tarp, and store your boiiled water in this basket. Save 9 hours per week, PLUS the time needed to gather and process all of that firewood, and do this for 11 weeks. 75 hours, lets say. You dont burn as many calories while sitting around waiting for water to boil in a little pot s you do hauling and processing wood, but you burn SOME and you can't leave the area as you do this, either. so there's another weeks time and calories just thrown away by taking the cookpot.

1 day will make your tarp and tape pole tent, the stone boiling pit and the basket that you'll line with a hunk of tarp and use to store your 5 gallons of boiled water. 1 day will make your pontoon outrigger raft. You dont need food for your first 2 days, due to your normal life Then the cambium mixed with gorp and pemmican will give you 2000 calories per day for a week. and you can go one more day on nothing. So that's 10 days You can be making over 120 sq ft of 2" mesh netting per day out of the cotton rope hammock, for 8 days, Each day's net production should go into the water as a baited net weir. After you've got say, 500 sq ft of netting on top of two weirs, you can make a seine out of the 500 sq ft and use it to force fish from 4 ft deep water into the 18" deep water where the weirs are., So, before you're starving, you'll be catching plenty of fish to eat. Fish and cambium cannot stop your weight loss, but they can slow it down drastically and keep you going as you wait to arrow a bear from your tree blind, fish heads and guts and some whole fish can pile up enough to FORCE bears to come to the bait. Bears MUST "fatten up" all that they can before hibernating, so they wont be just ignoring a 100 lb pile of whole fish and fish parts. Only half of an animal's live weight is edible flesh If you eat 6 lbs of live weight fish per day (1800 calories) half of it goes inside of the stake and log bait-box for bears. In 2 weeks, you'll certainly have 40 lbs of fish parts and 60 more lbs of whole fish to put into the bait box.

there's a way to gain 30 days more, for anyone, than what they are capable of without my training. When you know to make a 3.5x.3.5 x 8 ft tarp and tape tent in 3 hours, that suffices for the first month and down to nearly freezing temps. This saves 1-3 weeks, depending upon how ignorant you were with the shelter you would otherwise have wasted time and calories upon. At such temps, you need "winterize" the tent down to 20F, which takes about 4 hours, This involves adding an external pole frame, covering the tent with a 6" thick layer of dry debris and covering the debris with the 10x16 ft tarp that the producers give each contestant. Once it drops below about 20F degrees , you'll need considerably more insulation. It'll be too cold for net fishing from the pontoon outrigger raft. So youll remove the debris-stuffed coveralls and backpack from the raft and return them to their normal purpose. The pack can become your debris-stuffed pillow. The 3 coveralls will go on top of the 5 layers of clothing that you'll already be wearing, with dry, soft debris between each clothing-layer. Remove the tarp from the outside of the shelter and covering the dry debris with a 2" thick layer of DAMP debris, at dusk. Let this layer freeze overnight. You can manage this in 2 hours. Repeat 2x, for a total of 6" thickness of wet (frozen) debris, on top of the 6" thick layer of dry debris. Also, you need to fold the 10x16ft tarp in half, creating a 10x 8 ft tarp. Stuff this assembly with a 6" thick layer of dry debris, and fold it in half again, the result will be a 9x 3 ft ensemble, The size loss is due to the thickness of the stuffed "sleeping bag". Put the reflective tyvek bivy inside of this "bag', and stuff dry debris around the bivy, inside of the bag. Remove enough of the dry debris inside of your tent to let you move this bag into the tent and put it on the raised pole-bed. Replace as much of the debris-stuffing inside of the tent as you can. Then you'll be Ok at temps down to 0F, and you'll never see such temps. Because you know how to stay warm with insulation and by keeping your shelter SMALL, you dont need much in the way of firewood So that saves you another 2 weeks of time and calories that you'd otherwise have wasted upon finding, cutting, hauling and processing all of the wood necessary for a warming fire. You also dont risk dying of CO poisoning as you sleep, nor of burning-down your shelter, like a dummy. :-) As insurance vs being cold after you're too emaciated to make metabolic heat, you can have a row of 4 pits under your raised bed. Use a pair of Siberian fire lays to heat both sides of 4 head-sized rocks for about half an hour. Smother the flames with ashes or dry, loose dirt. Bury some coals and charcoal in your ashes-pit, so that you can use them to ignite one of your alternative Swedish fire torches. The torches will re-ignite the Siberians when you need to again heat-up the stones. Use the long handle that you've made for the modified Cold Steel shovel to sled each stone into the tend and put it into one of the pits Surround each stone with a 2" thick layer of wood ashes. The ashes will slow down the rate at which the stones cool off. This means that the stone will warm the reflecttve tarp-tent by 20F degrees for 4-5 hours. Repeat this rock-heating as need be. It will be necessary for at most 2 weeks and you'll use only about 1/4 as much firewood as you would have had to provide in order to keep a warming fire going 24-7. For the other 2 months of your stay, you wont need a heat source in your tent. None at all, because you'll be warm enough inside of your layers of clothing and the tent. So youll have saved 2 weeks of effort and time that you'd have wasted on firewood. for the first month, while rain is still an issue and you have to get things done, rain or no rain, use the 10x16 ft tarp as a membrane over a pole frame, forming a pavilion. Never leave the flimsy tarp on this frame when you wont be right there. If you do that, the wind will have it in a minute flat! Rig the tarp with loops and 'Marlin spike' hitches (short sticks) for fast assembly and take-down. This setup will let you have 1-2 Siberian fire lays warming you as you work in the pavilion. In the first month or so, you'll have done almost everything (productive) that youll do in your entire stay, with the exception of the final winterization step on the tent, and the hot stone trick (IF you need it. If you've used the raft and the 1200 sq ft of netting intelligently, youll have caught enough fish and (mixed with cambium) youll have enough bodyfat to not need the heat source inside of the tent. If your 100 lbs of whole fish and fish guts/heads have baited a bear into the log and stake box, youll have arrowed it from your tree blind, 10m away. The 200,000+ calories of fat, meat, marrow, brains and blood that the bear will provide you will see to it that you end up the season having lost no body weight at all. That will make you the "go-to" guy for survival info, bet your life on that

@@stevewright6632 of course. From a tree blind, probably at night, over a stake and log bait box. The issue is making enough netting out of the cotton rope hammock to have 100 lbs of fish and fish-remains to use as bait. Bears can smell such a fish-pile from MILES away. You have to have that, cause you're not allowed to move more than 2km, 1.2 miles, from where they dropped y ou at the lake shore. Your scent, smoke and activity have run the bears off by at least 1/2 mile. You have to stay at least 1/4 mile from your border, so the wounded animal can't get off of your area before it bleeds-out. So SOMETHING has to be done in order to make the bear come within 1/2 mile of your camp Bears, ready to hibernate, MUST fatten up all that they can. They simply CANNOT just ignore such a windfall of calories. So you WILL get multiple tries at shooting one A 200 lb bear fat for the winter is 25% bodyfat, so it offers 200,000 calories, IF you eat the blood, brain, organs and marrow. 200 lbs, fat for the winter, is a SMALL bear and 200,000 calories is enough to last 60 days, without losing a lb of your bodyweight, IF you just hole-up in your shelter.

if youre active all day out in the cold, wind dampness. you need to eat 4-5000 calories per day, or you'll lose weight. You need to eat 3000 calories per day just to hold up in your sleeping bag, under these stressful conditions. One lb of live weight fish only offers a bit over 300 calories and you cant choke down more than about 4 lbs of lean fish/meat per day, along with maybe half a lb of cambium. (600 calories per lb). Only half of a fish or animal's live weight is edible flesh. So 600 calories of fish, ready to eat, requires you to have caught 10 lbs of fish. If all you eat is fish, you'll crap yourself to death. So you mix in the cambium. you can't digest cambium if dont dice it, boil it and then fry it. You have to have fat to mix with the cambium or the cellulose wont move thru your guts. So about all you can do is slow down how much weight you lose. Still, losing 1/2 per day beats hell out of losing 1.2 lbs per day, which is what happens to those who are ignorant of the facts. Losing 40 lbs in 11 weeks is lot better than losing 80 lbs in 11 weeks. The former means you win, the latter means that you lose. Take your pick. By making the pontoon outrigger raft in one day and making 1200 sq ft of 2" mesh netting in 10 days, and deploying it intelligently, you CAN catch 400 lbs of fish in 60 days, no problem, mixed with cambium, that' 150,000 calories, almost 4x as many calories as the deer gave Clay Hayes. Those lakes are well-proven to be full of big fish.

one lb of live weight animal or fish provides just 300 lousy calories, folks. So youll need to catch and eat 10 lbs of fish or game per DAY in order to not lose weight Eating 4000 calories per day is possible with fat animals, like seals waterfowl (right before migration) and bears, but not with fish or lean meat . Only about half of a fish or animals' live weight is edible flesh. Fish or lean meat, ready to eat, offers about 600 calories per lb. FAT from a bear, offers 3000+ calories per lb. By mixing in the blood, marrow, meat and fat of the bear with the cambium and fish, you CAN choke-down enough calories to actually GAIN BACK the 10-15 lbs that you'll have lost before you got all of the netting into service and then keep from losing any more of your body-weight, for the sub 80 days that you'll be out there.

fish and cambium CAN cut your weight loss to 1/2 lb per day, instead of 1.3 lbs per day, if you know how to make and use netting, as vs silly bow hunting for small game and birds. Losing 40 lbs in 80 days beats HELL out of losing 110 lbs in that same time, yes? Catching lots of fish gives you the OPTION of baiting in a fat bear to a stake and log box full of whole fish and fish parts, 10m from the tree blind that you've built, 30 ft up. You can GAIN weight by eating lots of bear fat and its fatty meat. That IS what you need to do, cause you LOST 15-20 lbs as you made the netting and caught the 100 lbs of fish necessary to bring bears in from miles away. They CAN detect the stench of 100 lbs of rotting fish from that far away and they CAN tell how much food is present, too. They wont bother to walk very far for 10 lbs of fish.. Your scent, activity nd smoke will have driven the bears far from your camp, so you'll have to have such a bait and you'll have to set up your blind at least 1/2 mile from your camp, Cross-WIND of said camp.

They had no other game plan, so if they had not gotten lucky, they would be just two more losers whose names you could not remember. it's obvious that the lakes are full of big fish. You can make a pontoon outrigger raft in one day. It only takes 8 small logs and 4 debris stuffed pontoons, made of the coveralls and the back pack Anyone who knows anything knows that the 1200 sq ft of 2" mesh that you can make out of a rope hammock is going to catch 100x as many fish as you can catch with non organic bait and barbless hooks. Within a week, you'll be catching more fish than you can eat so start piling up the surplus fish (and the heads and guts of the ones that you DO eat) in a stake and log box that only a bear can access. Situate this bait box within 10m of your tree blind. Arrowig a fat for hibernatio bear gives you the win. Even a very small 150 lb bear, is 25% bodyfay, meaning it offers you 140,000 calories , enough food for you to lose no weight for 45+ days.

when you move a seine thru several thousand cubic feet of heavily-baited water per day, forcing fish into a couple of baited net weirs, 3x per day, of course you're going to average catching more than 7 lbs of fish per day. That's just a bit over 2 l lbs per "sweep". 2 small fish, in THAt much (baited) water? of course youll catch that much, iN fact, the odds are very high that you'll averate catching 3x that much and have to preserve a lot of fish and use the surplus to bait a bear into withing 10m of your tree blind.

you burn 100 calories per mile walked, on level pavement, unburdened, at room temps. Fighting hills, brush, mud, snow, carrying 30 lbs of camera gear, figure on burning 150 calories per mile. processing wood and hauling it burns a LOT more calories than simply walking with a 30 lb backpack, folks! You can easily walk 3 mph, folks. So figure on burning 400 calories per hour when hauling and processing firewood All of the contestants have said that they averaged spending 2 hours per day on firewood, after the first couple of weeks, as the temps dropped., They've never lasted 11 weeks under the current rules. So figure on 60 day x 800 calories per day wasted on wood for a warming fire., 48,000 calories. Clay's deer only gave him 40,000 calories, and you 'think" that the deer made the difference? :-) Well, then, WHY wouldn't this savings of firewood/effort make the same difference, hmm? It takes the consumption of about 3000 calories per day to not lose any bodyweight, when you are holed up in your sleeping-gear. So the debris-insulation trick DOES save you 2 week's worth of time and calories.

if you need the sleeping bag or the ferrorod, you dont belong on this show. There's 5 ways to make fire that are easier than the bow drill and once you get one fire, you can just bury some coals and charcoal in the ashes, keeping the fire alive for 12+ hours. It's bs that you need to be constantly starting a fire "from scratch" wth does that ignorant crud? There's debris everywhere and if it's wet, one day's time will dry out enough of it to fill up your tarp and tape tent. That and the reflective tyvek bivy, your many layers of clothing, a raised pole-bedand debris betwee those layers is all you need down to freezing temps and I can prove it any time you want to bet a year's pay on it. You are not allowed to move more than 1.2 miles from where they drop you off, so the sleeping bag's portability means nothing. You need MUCH less debris when you stuff it between a couple of layers of tarp. Trapped AIR is what insulates you from the cold, rain and wind, Exposed debris just gets soaked, heavy and might collapse on you . These people dont know diddly about proper shelter construction in reference to this challenge. After about day 30, you can winterize the tent in half a day, not needing any heat source inside of it. Knowing how to do this saves you 3 weeks+ of time and calories, cause you dont have to cut, haul and process wood for a warming fire, nor waste a week or more on building a nearly-worthless shelter. Then you can save another week by stone-boiling 5 gallons of water at a time, in a pit lined with the reflective tyvek bivy, twice per week, instead of 2 qts at a time, 3x per day. Duh. A month has separated the winner from 4th place, many times already. If you know what to do with even half of tbat month, you can win easily.

It is not my fault that you can't pick a high ground spot for your camp and your ashes-pit. cant make a little primitive, movable a frame shelter for your ashes-pit and trench around it to drain-away rain and snow-melt. If you go at it intelligently, it's quite simple to keep a fire "alive" in the ashes for 12+ hours at a time. YOu dont really need the shemagh very much, and it measures 36x36". That means that you can make 72 strips out of it, 2"x9". So that's once per day you can fire-roll a strip of cotton cloth and ashes.. If you know how to make charred punk wood with your first fire and no metal container, and bust open a rock, you can start fires with flint and steel. It's not my fault that you're damned dumb to take the tarp and the tape, so you can make air and water-tight containers, keeping your fire-kit, ashes and char dry. Then it doesn't matter if you've got 100% humidity, you can still get a fire going. If you know to keep-dry some wood shavings, charcoal and wood scrapings, you can easily get an altnerative Swedish fire torch going. Once that fire lay is burning well, rain cannot put it out. The Swede can always ignite a Siberian fire lay (in the rain) and the rain can't extinguish a Siberian either. The Siberian projects all of its heat in one direction, twice as far as a normal fire. So the siberian can be out in the rain, while drying out clothing and warming you, under the edge of your tarp. If you can't figure out such things, that's not a valid critique of ME

100 lbs of live weight fish is just 30,000 calories. Only enough food for 10 days. If you fillet the fish and then boil the organs, skins and heads, you'll get almost all of the calories out of the remaining parts. So, no, you AINT wasting much in the way of calories in order to bait in a bear. If you go at it intelligently, you'll harvest 400 lbs of fish by day 60. That's still just 120, 000 calories, enough only for 40 days of not losing weight, holded up in your shelter. However, if you mix that with losing "only' 40 lbs of body weight, you can go 80 days, starting at 6 ft and 180lbs. Note that's a healthy weight, not some obese slob.
