... the design of the knife is very good it seems practical, but I have my pocket knife, It doesn't really work to survive in jeans... you should use special clothes! ... and I don't do survival exercises anymore... just diet!

[@GAPTCHANNEL7]

*_Thank you, Mrs. Lilly, your material always has educational value for me,_*

[@Christian-Prepper]

Dang Lilly you have impressed me more by saying you prepared two months in advanced to walk bare foot. Full dedication that paid off. Good for you. I have a few questions - Now you have experienced N&A would you change you items for survival on future trips out into the wilderness. Do you have a more focus on certain area or items that you want with you. One thing I noticed on survival shows is people making temporary shelters then try to build better shelters later on when they are calorie depleted. Does this experience give you more direction on prioritizing what you do when setting up a camp. Example getting as much wood asap. I noticed your partner was very worn out to get more wood towards the end

Just watched it last night and you and Sam both rocked that challenge. I am so glad Sam talked you out of quitting cause you would have regretted that for the rest of your life. Well done Lilly!!!

[@lpgirl]

Thank you for clearing up so many questions, Lilly. I watch that show every week. You did great, and I'm glad you've kept in touch with Sam. He was a gem.

[@freedomfighter1861]

Yeah sam was awesome and really helped boost her morale and kept her going!

My 93-year-old mother is a fan of the show and really enjoyed your episode, especially after I told her that I had been following you on KZbin for years. Thanks for answering these questions. I'll pass them along to Mom!

[@danielcuffe2542]

It was awesome seeing you complete the challenge. You overcame so many personal obstacles ❤️🇺🇸

[@250sabre]

Proud of you Lilly !! You did a great job and you were very strong !!

[@chrisyravenconlin]

Thanks for the wonderful background insights and your thoughtful answers to the questions. I have a ton of respect for you doing the challenge. My thyroid is messed up as well and I get cold so easy. As much as I’d love to see you out on the show again one day, you have to make the decisions that are safest for your body. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing what else is to come from you! 🖤

[@thedriftingspore]

To complete the naked and afraid challenge is a huge accomplishment. I'll look forward to more videos of you refining your skills. Thank you Lilly!

[@chrislonsberry1974]

Thanks for taking the time to go through what makes the show what it is. You answered a lot of my questions. Congratulations to you for surviving the 3 weeks! You doing so adds so much credibility to your videos and the survival skills you share with us.

[@brianlee6849]

I think you made a really great point about setting priorities when you were talking about making shoe wear. In a survival situation priorities are everything and if you set the wrong priority it could cost you your life. Knowing what the real priority is is how you survive. Thank you 👍

[@thedolt9215]

It is nice to see you’ve done so well on KZbin Lily… You deserve it!

[@Gman1024]

Love the behind the scene q&a. Thank you to all those commenters who put in questions. And Thank you Lily for the updates, can't wait to see upcoming challenges you give yourself. I was curious what Amy saw in the background there, almost like she was trying to get your attention without making noise, haha, so cute.

[@dawnoftherock]

Thankyou Lily for your honest assessment of the show. You hear so many things and it's so good to get the truth as this is my favorite show. Thanks for allbof the good things you do!

[@coolcanoechic]

You should be very proud! So glad the two of you worked out so well together. Also very very happy that you got your rabit! All that practice paid off!

[@ve6hdh992]

You did a fantastic job on the show. You were able to endure the night time temperatures when you cannot tolerate cold. I admire your personal strength and not quitting.

[@tombaynes71]

Hi Lily. Finally caught the episode and you were great. Sam was the perfect partner and appreciated the team aspect you two had

[@Kurtdog63]

A church I used to attend did a 21 day fast. Some of the members had high blood pressure issues. Others had diabetic problems. Some reported that when you fast, it is almost like your body resets itself and some of them where able to go off some of the medications they were previously taking for those issues. Not recommending this without consulting your doctor, but that is what some where able to achieve with the fasting. They also stated you could not just immediately start going back to eating solid food. They started out by sipping small amounts of chicken soup broth and slowly added solid foods back in over a period of days or weeks.

[@stanfordholman5301]

Lilly, your episode with Sam was one of my favorite of the series!! I really felt your emotions, good and bad!! Thanks so much!

[@oldguyplayin5828]

glad you are recovering Lilly. you look much healthier. looking forward to maybe seeing you on Survivor! a little more food, and clothes!

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

I don't think I ever seen a better couple on Naked and Afraid like Lilly and Sam. If there has been there wasn't many with such amazing chemistry. The shows choice to feature their challenge in America. Brilliant cheers Lilly❤

[@TheGlobalTravelr]

I am super proud of you Lilly for challenging yourself! This made you so much stronger.

[@larrylezon1590]

You did a fantastic job on N&A! Even with all your skills, we could see how difficult the challenge was. You are truly an inspiration to all of us. I'm glad you are recovering nicely. Thanks for both appearing on the show and for answering the questions afterwards.

[@kele1264]

I never thought the show was any kind of fake. I always believed that you wouldn't have anything to do with fake. And that's why your episode was the first and only one I've seen. Thanks for verifying! You and your survival partner were great on the show!

[@AlphaFoxAdam]

​@Winston Smith also, there are a few AMA posts floating around with former contestants acknowledging the more "creative liberty" aspects of the show. Also, I've read (can't confirm, but would have been a good question) that the contestants are paid. And fair enough...they earned it, but it seeems that the show doesn't discuss that portion.

[@jreverie7018]

Guys I get you've read this and that article and blogpost or whatever but I'd recommend taking into account more someone who actually went onto the show lol

[@AlphaFoxAdam]

@@jreverie7018 I took that into account, as well as the fact that she qualified it with that she couldn't speak for everyone else's experience.

[@feybrah]

I just encourage you to watch other episodes. Namely, my first episode seen was S7, E9 curse of the swamp. Great!!!

[@feybrah]

Referring to relationship building as a tool, equivalent or greater to equipment they have. My absolute favorite quote, "You're my jungle husband and I'm your jungle wife". Their dynamic was almost as powerful as S15 E1.

[@livewire4495]

Very Proud Of You Lilly. Great Job! 😎

[@richardfranz5733]

My absolute respect and admiration to you Lilly. This is why you are one of my favorite channels. Thank you for all you do and all the great videos.

[@maxwell9734]

You did great Lilly! I never had any doubt that you wouldn't finish the show.

[@paulalindell49]

Lilly, I understand why you wouldn't do another challenge. Our health is important. BUT WOW, I was amazed how you and Sam got through this. I never watched the show before because I thought it was stupid. I'm glad I watched you and Sam. I thought you complemented each other. Honestly, Sam was so lucky to get you as a partner, and he recognized you right off the bat from youtube. I know I couldn't do this challenge. My hats off to you. Way to go

[@SurvivalLilly]

I was also glad to have a partner like Sam. He was a workhorse and had my back when I was cold

[@SandraHovind.]

@@SurvivalLilly great job Lilly. Your courage and willingness to confront your lows is amazing. Thank You for allowing us to see you as a real person.

I really appreciate your candid answers to your experiences on N&A.It was a fascinating episode, one of the best really, and your survival skills were demonstrated perfectly!

[@doug6189]

I just caught your episode. Look like you two did ok. I hear what you're saying about the shoes but I think that would have been one of my priorities being there were alot of cacti out there. Nice job!

[@TwistedSither]

There was never any doubt in my mind tat you would complete the Naked and Afraid challenge. After watching your KZbin channel for the last few years, you've more than proven your knowledge and skills are sufficient pretty much any challenge that comes your way. I don't blame you for not wanting to repeat the experience, though. Why take any risk that you don't need to take? As always, I look forward to more of your wilderness survival and prepping videos. Take care.

[@cyndeeh]

Yes,but she wanted to quit,her partner talked her out of it.

​@@cyndeeh But she didn't. With the help of her teammate. Whom she fed for the whole challenge, in exchange for his mental fortitude. It's called teamwork. What's your point?

Excellent, a challenge most men probably would not take on. The challenge for Canadian Prepper Nate is on lol 🤣🤣Great Q & A video. Happy to hear you made it to the end, I still want to catch the episode when I get a chance. ❤ From Alberta, Canada.

[@allobject]

Thank you Lilly for the insight from an European cultural point of view. Being myself a Western neighbor of yours with Alpine roots but living for quite some time now in the West of the US, it was great to not have to read between the lines. I also can very much follow and support your reasoning why not go right away into another such challenge. If there would be a way of exchanging some of my weight with some some of your health burden to balance out each other's challenges, we could have a deal... ;-) -I enjoyed this clip very much. Keep doing what you do, and" All the best in your endeavors and for your health.

[@hbrit92]

Hi Lilly been following you for years, built a little camp from your tutorial videos, one of my favourite programmes was always naked n afraid so I couldn't believe when you turned up on it.. congratulations for surviving especially with your coldness thing, ye were too far apart, body heats the best.. I would've been wrapped around you to keep you warmer..❤

[@panpiper]

I spent a summer once jogging every day barefoot on a gravel road. After two months of this, my feet were like shoe leather. Your feet can definitely acclimatize to a challenge like this.

[@eclipse369.]

Yelp. Kids dont go barefoot anymore? Personally if i were her and had her life id be barefoot all the time. Ive walked through the forest, creeks, etc for most of my life barefoot.

[@banditcalumbroc]

First time watching naked and afraid, i think you two absolutely rocked it. I was surprised at how thin you are, to take on that challenge. Thank you for your answers in this video. As a side note, an ex-partner of mine had thyriod problems that she cured using homeopathy, don't know if your willing to look at that, but it worked for her very well. Thank you for your videos, i always enjoy watching them when i can't get out doing myself. Keep uploading as long as you can,please.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for your honesty Lilly! Love you! 👍😁👍😁

[@feybrah]

Wow, you've nailed it for me about so many questions! Most of all, I have been wondering so much about how the contestants and crew interact. I imagine from my couch that the crew has 'it easy' with food, all the water they can drink and even electronics to keep in touch with loved ones and their entertainment at night when it is just your cameras. I wondered how knowing that psychologically impacts the contestants being filmed bc I forget about the crew for the most part during my viewing experience only to think about it much later. I will now share your respect. I remember the snake on day 1 and now your bravery in that moment is even more amazing, knowing you are terrified of them to begin with. Also, I apologize for my earlier post about my fantasy about you and Sam. Of course, we don't get all the info at home. Had no idea that you were each happily bonded to others at all. Again, applause 👏 . Just shows more maturity on your parts for rising to the ultimate challenge of surviving, making relationship building such a valuable tool equal to or better than choice of equipment. I can't wait to get into all your videos to be just your true fan. Much Grace to you ❤

[@garywatt4546]

Nice video Lilly. On Naked And Afraid I wondered where the contestants have their microphone. I thought it must be hidden in the cloth bag they have on them all the time. One of my favourite tv shows..

[@hnangell]

We loved the show (V&A). You were great, a real life changing event. I agree you are much lovelier and feminine at your normal weight. I was one who recommended you to N&A and was blown away by your show. I had never seen the program before, and have watched only your show (but several times). I hope you never try again because of your health conditions. (Im a biologist and geneticist) so I was very interested in the weight loss and any body changes you went through. I have three daughters your age and cant imagine them having the strength (both mental and physical) to do anything like this. They are having babies, so they have their 'hill to climb'. Congrats Lilly!

[@allenwurl6245]

I appreciate your honesty about being nervous the first day. We can practice all we want but until the day we are forced to perform or suffer we don’t know what obstacles are own brain will put in our way 👍👍 Second Naked and afraid has provided me with a new appreciation for my first layer of shelter (my clothing choices) I now consider my clothes I choose each day as part of my EDC. I always ask myself is this what you want to be wearing if you had to sleep next to a tree tonight 😁 it’s not a perfect process but a question I ask nonetheless.
