The HISTORY Channel's hit survival series "Alone" is back like never before and taking place in the most dangerous location yet. In Season 8, 10 contestants fight to survive in the Canadian wilderness on the shores of Chilko Lake, British Columbia. Equipped with just 10 items and a camera kit, each participant must survive in total isolation, with the hopes of lasting the longest and winning the $500,000 prize. Not only must they endure hunger, loneliness and the elements, but this season, they also face the deadliest predator in North America: the grizzly bear. No camera crews. No gimmicks. It is the ultimate test of human will.

What a great shelter she has!
She was my favorite. I like how she focused on food procurement. There just wasn't enough there to catch. I'd love to see more of her. Imagine a Teaneck with an English accent! 💘
I've been utterly u impressed with 90% of the contestants. Their inability to procure food has been disappointing to say the least.
I can't stand her phony accent. She was almost 30 when she moved to England and always speaks in a higher tone when imitating British people. I hate her lol
They had some quite severe hunting & fishing restrictions they had to work around - eg no bear, no squirrel, barbless hooks only, & some date related restriction on using gill net. Deer only above 4 pointer & no moose….
*don’t knock it till you try it.
except her accent was sooooo fake and she was only doing it for attention lmao. it would change mid sentence, whenever she was under any stress it was an american accent, when she was doing voiceovers she had a posh british accent which doesn't even make sense for where she lives in the uk lmao
@@0311Duce absolutely fake! She even said many sentences in almost a New Zealand and Irish accent as well. Cringe pure cringe
I could watch just Theresa for the entire show! Make a show or a RUclips channel and I'm there all day
You are kidding right? She was immensely boring and just talked nonsense for hours...
@@lucydog3376 her fake accent drove me crazy ! Pretentious coming off the lips at all times ..
@@joecola6487 I'm just watching so I can see what Mary Poppins would sound like while being eaten by a bear
Theresa seems to be off to a sensible start. Good Luck to her! A good bit of the adventure for us is to watch how useful each participant's selections prove to be in meeting the particular challenges each of them faces.
Theresa you are so very charming, I was a specially impressed with how you kept your self clean out there. I will miss you .
This young lady surprised me. I genuinely enjoyed watching her in her cabin building and foraging. She was definitely one of my all time favs.
She’s so pretentious and fake. Otherwise, yes, her skills were certainly solid.
I like how she goes and I have of course my handmade bow and my arrows like everyone has a handmade bow of course.
Clay Hayes one of the other season 8 contestants brought his self-bow. Has a RUclips channel where he shows how to make them
@Dan Jett ultimate keyboard warrior👆🏻
@Dan Jett, Northern latitude heading into late fall and you don’t want to take a sleeping bag. May they find you after the spring thaw.
@Dan Jett that 3ft of debris will turn into 2ft and then 1. Constant maintenance, fire hazard, bugs nesting in it and lack of comfort make a sleeping bag a lot better. A modern sleeping bag will keep you a lot warmer then debris...
That location is full of fish. If i would be there i would focus 90% of my protein and fat sourcing efforts on sustainable and easy fishing. Hunting with a bow and arrow would be a waste anyway. The effort in preserving a large amount of meat with so little resources and then protecting it from predators is huge. Very few people have the skill to successfully hunt, slaughter and preserve large animals in the wild using only a bow and arrow and 9 other items
Theresa, you had me rooting for you in the end.. you're one tough gal😊
Don’t fall for it.
@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied did you?
Wish this would have come out before the season started. Will you be posting the others soon?
Beautiful job Teresa, Thanks for this posting
Man that bow looks like a it will perform well. No string fallow and those tips are narrow and won’t bend at all. Must get some crazy arrow speed.
Made a few bows in my time but that bow is perfection.
Curious to see how she will chop a hole through a foot or more of ice.
An Ax should be on everyone's equipment list.
Exactly what the second place winner of alone season 6 found out the hard way.
She did her research. It doesn’t freeze over.
harry maboff man you people sure like your cold Steel shovels. You are the second shovel wielding know it all to hate on me. I just like axes ok just wanted to talk about how axes a cool but no some big man gotta come and ruin the fun.
harry maboff and by the way I may not have chopped though 50 feet of ice like you but in most cases 3 to 4 feet is more than enough. Also I lived in the country my whole life buddy so I know a thing or two. But apparently you are the ice chopping expert I will give you that
Dan Jett oh buddy you just don’t have any friends do you? Also sounds like you do have some knowledge for sure but you come off as that know it all kid in school that no one likes. Seriously it’s great to be taught knew things but not by someone like you acting all high and mighty.
Theresa is awesome, I was so happy for her when she found all that beached fish!!
ME TOO
Great choice on your 10 items. You should do very well, I hope you win & I'll be rooting for you!
Best of luck!
What about an axe 🪓?
Best wishes Theresa! I love watching the women and their amazing skills. I will be rooting for you.
Their amazing skills that they learned from grandpa's, or dad.....🤔
@@p_campbell Or maybe their mom? I'm sure that the kids of the women on this show could learn an incredible amount from their moms.
She should have won it. Her attitude never faltered. She is so capable.
If she had come into it with 30 extra pounds she would have won it. Everyone who goes should put on 50 pounds before they go
@@faithpappano6451 I was just thinking the same thing last night. Given her final weight (I think it was 94) it sounds like she was at a normal weight and not carrying much in the way of extra pounds when she went into it. If she had some extra energy, maybe she could have gotten that deer who walked by her camp just before they pulled her. That would have helped her to stay a lot longer. I really loved her house.
Keep it up! Stay as long as you feel the need to but do not lose yourself! Maximum respect to your courage!
The switching between her American accent, fake British, and fake Irish is infuriating to listen to. I’m almost embarrassed for her. I’m on episode two and I don’t know if I can make it through the season because it’s so cringeworthy.
Super cringe, I hated her parts.
Anyone...man or woman...who does this is very brave. I would be terrified to be alone in the wilderness...especially after the sun goes down!
The best of luck I hope you had a great time, fantastic selection of goodies and I totally love your bow
Why does her accent go from British to Wyoming from minute to minute?
Because her English accent is fake. It's her 60 year old English woman's storybook accent.
She made the bow.thats hard core!
Simp much?
Her British accent is fading in and out lol
Just like immigrants lose their accent over time after moving here, so do Westerners pick up accents when living elsewhere.
She also mentioned in one of the first two episodes that she is originally from the United States.
She's from Wyoming and the accent is fake. It switches between like five accents per sentence which makes no sense linguistically. Not sure why she does it, may be a bit off upstairs but it sure is painful to listen to
She grew up in Wyoming as a child but moved to England, so her accent is a mix, a little confusing but I’ve met her in person, it’s not fake
@@benbonin9393 I agree wholeheartedly with you Ben. It's painful to listen to
I'm legit curious how long do the emergency rations last on this show? Every contestant is when showing their 10 items is smart enough to bring at least one bag of emergency rations, but the show never shows them eating it. I'm wondering if some contestants can stretch them out to a month or if they run dry in the first week since everyone is using a lot of energy in that first week trying to build a establishment and at least half of them has trouble catching and foraging for food in that first week.
i heard they'll soon be releasing an entire episode where the contestants are shown eating the emergency rations - if it proves to be popular they'll release a further episode
you should take a saw-edged shovel anyway, but ESPECIALLY so if your plan for a shelter is to dig a pit. Look, folks you dont want to have to have a fire inside of your shelter. I'ts a hazard and a waste of 2 hours per day, spent on processing firewood. It's waste of a precious week of fishing season, too. All you want or need for the first 4-6 weeks is a tent made out of the 20x20 tarp. You can toss it up in a couple of hours. Make it 8 ft long, 14 ft wide at the bottom, A frame, with the 6 ft of each end folded in, so that it's completely enclosed. This lets you protect the debris as you pile it up for the later conversion to the triangular 4x4x7 ft sleeping shelter. Once it's cold enough, say 20F, for rain to no longer be a threat, you spend the 2 hours actually converting the shelters. In the money or so between, you'll have gathered the poles to make the 8x5 ft, 4 ft deep frame for your bedding, as well as the pole frame for the shelter and assembled them into their needed shapes. All that will remain is to fold the 20x20 in half, stuff it with 6" of debris and drape it over the triangular pole frame, stake it down and cover it with a 2 ft thick layer of debris.
Beautiful bow!
Totally awesome that Theresa is using an elm mollegabet style self bow!
Agreed, love the lever tips
Does anyone know what brand of pot that is?
Just started watching season 8. There's something about an outdoorsy woman who is also feminine and beautiful that does it for me. Got a huge crush on Theresa. Deal with it. Lol
Imagine all the naughty bits that never get washed out there in the wilderness. Yuck.
@@Shskfjekdnf38587 weird that you would mention that. Pretty sure everyone leaves outta there stinking. And fairly sure she would shower once outta there. 🤔
I feel pretty insecure as a city boy who never hunted or grown food watching this woman get prepared like it's nothing as I'm putting together my amazon chinese knockoff survival bag.
I feel you, brother. No shame.
@@jamiehess4211 That's all she's going to do, too (most likely) play around for a month or less.
I feel blessed living in the forest of dean
@Average Joe oh lush bet that is nice place to live I’d love to visit.the Forest of Dean is nice but no rain forest 🌳.I glad I checked my spelling at first I put forest of dead lol
You can do a lot with your knockoff survival bag as long as you have knowledge.
Is Theresa the first Alone contestant to have been on a previous Survival show? Because back in the UK, she did a survival show called 'Surviving the Stone Age'. Heard another one of her Surviving the Stone Age costars tried to get on Alone too.
Best shelter!
That accent comes and goes lol
Sounds like a mixture of an Exeter accent and a Midlands accent.
She was raised in the us, but has been living in the uk for 10 years.
It’s a Wyoming/Exeter mix, I’m from the midlands, we don’t sound like that
@@pyropeter_2731 I've got family in the midlands... "midlands" is not just one spot 😜
Agreed. When you hear her "live" on-camera voice, it's pretty much just regular US accent. But when she does the "voice-overs", it seems she's embellishing a bit with the UK accent. Not calling her out, but I think a lot of her "UK" accent is manufactured. You don't live somewhere for 30 years (US) and then get that kind of accent living abroad.
no axe is a bad move. We saw what happened to Woneya when the lake freezes over.
You’re not wrong.
@@ericd9853 yes, he is. It's not going below 10F at the new location, 40 F degrees warmer than Great Slave Lake. So the ice will not be nearly as thick. I'd not choose an axe, but your "reasoning' is not correct for where they are now.
@@waynenewsome4780 Not sure if any of the contestants stayed through the January and February months while filming, but it hit down to -45°C this February an hour north where I live and at slightly lower elevation than Chilko Lake. The year before? Around -50°C for nearly a week and the coldest on local thermometers was -55°C. Don’t let the dry and arid look of the location fool you, the Chilcotin might as well be in the NWT with how cold the air temperature gets, and that’s not even including the wind chill. Not bringing an axe is an absolutely fatal mistake for this country.
@@wituikbws you know they didn't. They wuss out long before they have to deal with such temps. I hear that about GSL, too, but the actual temps for the show never got below -20F, and if you know anything, you just hole up in your shelter once the lake freezes over. You're not going to catch enough fish thru the ice to be worth the calories you burn trying to do so. Fish only offer 350 calories per lb of live weight. If you're active all day out in the cold, youj'll burn 2000 calories, on top of the 2500 calories you'd burn in your shelter, laying around.. Can you average catching 6+ lbs of fish per day? If not, then stay in your shelter.
@@waynenewsome4780 Ahh, okay. I see what you are saying. I thought you were implying the area itself doesn’t get any colder than 10°F which for the poor souls that live here, it unfortunately does. I complete agree with your points though. I’d still bring an axe if it were my 10 items just out of preference, but that won’t be a concern for me anyhow. I’ve passed on being contacted for the show twice now. Starving just isn’t my thing 😆
the cotton rope hammock is made of 900 ft of rope. Each bit of rope is made of 3 twisted strands. You lose up to 40% of your strand length when you twist it into rope. So there's actually 3600 ft of the strands and each strand is made of 44 cotton threads. Cotton gets stronger when it's wet ,so you can create 7 strands of the cotton threads, strong enough to net fish with. 7x 3600 ft is 25,000 ft of such small OD cordage, and you need 16 sq ft of cordage in order to make one sq ft of 4" mesh netting. 25,000 ft of cordage, divided by 16 is less than 1600 sq ft of netting. You'll need some rope and strands for camping purposes, to make the raft, etc, too. So you end up with 1400 sq ft of 4" mesh netting or a bit less. or 700 sq ft of 2" mesh netting. That's not a lot. Set 250 sq ft of netting as net traps on the shoreline and use 90x5 ft of seine to force fish into the net traps. Kill the fish in the traps with the 6 ft long handle in the Cold Steel shovel. The result will be a lot of blood and guts in the fish traps, but that's not baiting. It's a natural by-product of how you harvest your fish-catch. That constant scent/taste of food inside of your net traps is going to make all of the difference in the WORLD, folks.
Thersa! You're wonderful =) I was rooting for you! But man! Stiff competition and the harsh environment! Too bad they pulled you! But Clay did snag that deer? If you hadda? You would have won hands down!! Hope your're well girl! Props for sure!
I loved watching you in Alone. Great personality all the way to the final seconds. You were an awesome “contestant”. You were so light framed from the beginning that I started to wonder how you kept going. Here’s to those 30 year old horses that looked better than you. So funny. Congratulations.
She's a champ. I hate that she didn't make it because of lack of food therefore weight loss.
Her attitude was absolutely beautiful. She inspired me. I'd like to send her money. If everyone did that she could get what she needs for her living quarters back home.
How do you get in touch with her?
Are we doing that for the other contestants that lasted just as long but was pulled out or just her?
Interested as to why her accent keeps changing from British to American and then back again.
Exactly, she's obviously putting it on. I'm embarrassed for her
@@EDWARDKILE USA born and raised, PhD from Exeter;UK , Of course her accent changes.
@@Hammocks_Rulecertain things you say might have influence from your new country, but a human's accent doesn't change after adolescence (it might get weaker) unless they consciously want it to, "another words faking It." Having two distinct accents simultaneously in one person is akin to multiple personality disorder. She has a regular American accent, and then she has the storyteller 60-year-old English lady accent. The other thing is it's not even an Exeter accent.
@@EDWARDKILE Dear Edward-Kile, Please try and move away from your keyboard and do a bit of traveling, living, working, meeting people. You may find that, unlike living in your tiny mind, you would take in, absorb, learn, adapt, rethink some of the things you do and, particularly in this case, say. I ask this of politely because, sometimes, people such as yourself who think their single cell brain knows everything get upset when told they are talking out of their A&*&E.
@@Hammocks_Rule Listen, you don't have to be rude or insultive. Your behaviour is exhibiting exactly what you are trying to accuse me of.
She is a wonderfully primitively skilled woman, however, I do question her sanity level due to the fact that she is manufacturing a 60-year-old English woman's accent. She started doing this accent not long after she arrived in the UK, "that's impossible!"
Also, it is impossible to have two distinct accents simultaneously, it is akin to multiple personality disorder.
I believe your affinity for her has led you to believe the lie in which she is perpetrating.
I will not discuss this any further nor participate in any more comments with you.
If you choose to continue to insult me I will report you.
Please leave me alone
The 12x12 reflective tarp, the reflective bivy, the duct tape and the cotton rope hammock have to go along, so that you can make the pontoon outrigger raft and the netting. That's 8 non-optional items, counting the 2 rations, the fishing kit and the salt. That leaves room only for the saw-edged Cold steel shovel and the modified Crunch multitool.
What are the backpacks they were given for this season?
I have a serious question - how much did the bow actually contribute towards the total food provision? Also, if it did, what kind of game was bagged? How much of each?
I ask because very little is said about how important having a bow was. [Note: I have done some shooting with bows and I have a pretty good idea of the challenges a bowhunter has to face and overcome.]
Her accent shifted more often than the weather. Pretty much just a pretentious act.
WHAT!!!??? Only just discovered this show, flicking through the vids and come across someone who's not just a Brit, but from a place near me!??? I did not expect that lol
She’s not a brit, she’s lived there for nine years but lived in the US until she was in her 30s, I’m just trying to figure out why she does a weird fake British accent.
Completely fake
This video got me thinking if anyone sneaks gear beyond their 10 items like extra laces, earrings( for hook) there’s a lot of little things you can tinker with once your out there and take apart so why wouldn’t they sneak a few items you wouldn’t ever see
You badly need to devote a day to making the pontoon outrigger raft and a day to making the streamer lures for fish out of the reflective tarp, along with the 16 treblehook trotlines. Put a pole across each end of your raft and attach 4 of the weighted, floated trotlines to each pole Then the movement of the raft will cause the reflective streamers to attract fish. You can also make little sailboats that will suffice to move the lures around, since baiting is not allowed. Without movement of the streamers, it's unlikely that you'll take fish. You've GOT to catch more fish than you can with just one pole, tho. That much is obvious. Get busy making LOTS of netting out of the cotton rope hammock. You wont believe how many more fish you can catch with 2500 sq ft of 4" mesh netting vs 50 sq ft of 1.5" mesh netting that you're allowed to take as one of your items.
They really did her dirty by pulling her. She was one of the most mentally stable person out there, really held it together. should have at least given her another 24hrs to at least try. That's a hard call to make. I really wish shed woulda won. Man 500 grand on the line, its hard not to risk it all, when you have nothing to go back to. Dang. Sorry, We were rooting for ya. :(
What a tiny knife to bring.
on launch day, gather a big pile of debris to sleep upon and dig a pit for stone-boiling water, and get a fire going by fire-rolling a strip of your shemagh. If you have enough daylight left, , cut some poles and convert the 20x20 tarp into a tent. If you launch late in the day, you'll have to wait until Day One to make the tent, Stone boil 3 gallons of water that first night and store them in the sleeves of your outer shell jacket. Then you dont have to mess with that 2 qt cookpot 6x, half an hour per time. Day one, gather some dead wood for your fire.gather more debris and get it protected inside of the tent.
Get busy making the pontoon outrigger raft, cause doing so will take 2 days, to include the oars, oarlocks, tripods for mounting the oarlocks, 8 small log frame-work and the structure of logs that gets you up out of the water, the camera-case "seat", You also need to make the log apparatus that lets you tow 9 of the treblehook trotlines without the possibility of their becoming entangled. 2 of the 11 trotlines can be trolled from the sides of the raft.
You'll have to make the 'streamer" lures out of ribbons of the reflective 12x12 tarp and little wooden spoons that make the ribbons spin, reflecting light and attracting fish to hit the lures. This can be done by firelight, as can the weaving of netting and the making of the pontoons. By day 5, you should be fishing with the raft and the trotlines. give it an entire day, trying different spots on the lake and marking them with stakes as to their depth. Determine where the bottom is snag-free (or make it so) for the use of the seine you'll be making/using. By day 7, you should know if you're going to keep on fishing, or if the effort is wasted and you should just hole-up in the shelter and make the netting, conserving your calories.
Be aware that about 1 month in, you'll have to devote most of 2 days to making the debris/ice quonset hut and that you'll have to show the producers a bowel-movement once a week. That means you have to ration-out the pemmican, chocolate and cambium to let you eat 2000 calories all in one day, 1 day per week.
But of course, I dont know anything. Just ask anyone on these channels.
She was my favorite. I love the home she made!
I wish you luck
Any leads on the brand of that pot?
Does anyone know the name and / or brand of her pot ?
the only thing that' I'd take that everyone else takes is the fishing kit and I'd want that as 2 large single hooks, to be made into sewing needles and 11 treblehooks. You can now have 35 hooks, not just 25 and a treblehook counts as 3 of the 35 allowed.
I wonder how much game has been acquired using a bow during the making of alone. I haven't seen many of the episodes, but it seems a little unlikely to me.
A wolverines also.....
@harry maboff it might count as extra items
Quite a bit, big game: 2 deer, an ox and a moose i believe. Also some squirrels, 2 grouss (pheasants), porcupine i believe or it was with a spear and even a fking wolverine. Still fish seems to be the bigger part on the menu.
If you're out on that lake, in a field-made watercraft, you are out of your MIND if you're wearing your clothes or dont have a fire, hot rocks, dry clothing, dry debris, coals buried in the ashes near where you're fishing. Wear the reflective bivy and the tarp-based clothing, including booties, and layers of dry debris under those items. Then, if you get wet, you can simply row the raft to shore, shed the tarp/bivy, dump the wet debris, shake the water off of the clothing, dry off with dry debfis, get into the bivy with hot rocks, don dry clothing if need be, sit by the fire. In 10 minutes, you'll be ready to again don the reflective clothing, add more dry debris and go back to work. Getting wet should be merely a 20-minute delay, not a challenge-ending disaster. If you prep for it properly that's all it will be.
Møllegabet bow, best selfbow since 4500 B.C.
So glad she didn’t win. Everyone else had a good story or reason for doing this challenge. Hers was so she could buy land a sweden. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
love all the women participation!
How can someone apply to participate?
knife instead of multitool is the only notable thing in her 10. and maybe choosing the big boy over the katana
No axe
Hope she never has too pull out her knife & use it for Protection!!.. 🤪
"Should have went with the pocket knife!"
I understand why you would wanna bring emergency rations but I think it's a mistake. There's no way I'd use that as one of my items. The emergency will happen sooner than later because its going in with a fear of not having food. What you fear will manifest itself quickly.
Actually I think it’s the only reason people last as long as they do. Because if you watch most people get nothing but they still make it past a mouth of so. So really it’s like giving yourself extra time.
Normally I would agree, but with the extreme limitations (regulations) on hunting and fishing @ this site it may be a valid choice.
Thumbs up if you, like me, totally underestimated Theresa at the start of this season.
The lady who can’t decide on her own accent. Her UK accent is “bloody rubbish.” She grew up in Wyoming.
Lol
They've all lacked the self discipline to just lay inside of a sleeping shelter, as Carleigh did for her 84 days in Patagonia. They think that they've got to have more space, a fire to cheer them up, etc. So they waste 2 hours and 700 calories per day on a warming fire. Over say, a 60 day period, that totals a waste of 40,000 calories, which is all that a large deer carcass provides in the way of food.
That 40,000 calories is the ability to stay another 2 weeks just by knowing how to build an efficient shelter. By that, I mean one that needs no external heat source. Each one inch of compacted dry debris you add to your shelter adds 1 R-value of insulation. An R-value of 7 is considered a very warm sleeping pad, folks. With 4 ft of debris under you, 6 layers of clothing, a layer of dry grass between each layer of clothing, 4 layers of tarp and a 3 ft thick layer of debris around/above you, there's no need of a warming fire inside of your shelter, as long as you have bodyfat to be metabolized as heat.
Once you get too skinny for such metabolic heating to suffice, use the Siberian fire lay for half an hour to heat 4 head-sized stones and put them into holes under your bedding, surrounded by 2-3" of wood ashes. That way, the stones warm you for 4-5 hours. Snuff the Alternative Swedish fire torch and the Siberian with ashes, so that they can be easily re-ignited. Put the coals in the special ashes-pit, under the little primitive A frame shelter, (dampened vs burning). Have a trench around the ashes/pit, vs snow-melt-rain. If you're not going to be gaining lots of calories by trotline and net-fishing, you should be conserving what calories you have, in a debris-shelter, by just laying there inside of an adequately insulative shelter (perhaps with hot stones).
Why such a small knife?
I agree that the knife is underpowered. But, she obviously feels it's capable enough, and she doesn't have large, powerful hands.
I carry a 6" ESEE as my edc. I use it around 20+ times a day. Bigger is always better. 🤔😜
the debris needed for insulation IS present, so why not use 2 sets of clothing and the backpack as pontoons for the outriggger raft? By making a set of clothing out of the reflective 12x12 tarp, and wearing the 2Go Systems bivy as a poncho, with layers of dry grass between the remaining layers of clothing, you'll be WARMER than you would be while just wearing the clothing, to include the 2 sets used as pontoons. Debris being present also means that you dont have to waste a pick on a sleeping bag. You can't leave a 1.2 mile radius of your drop off location .Half of your " 5 sq miles" of allotted area is on the LAKE, so you dont have much land at all upon which to forage. Netfishing is your only realistic way of obtaining sufficient calories to sustain yourself.
Where do you find a negative 60 degree sleeping bag?
I didn't see a tarp
Axe?
Good luck! 😘
what's with this title? "10 items to live NOT survive" does that mean they were terrible items? is this you telling us she dies?
They had metal pots in the Stone Age? Interesting.
I'd say that the least a 6 ft tall man can weigh (and win reliably) is 190 lbs, and for a woman, 5' 5" 140 lbs. IF you have to wait that 45 days to use netting. If you can use netting right from the start, you can weigh 10 lbs less. A 6 ft, 190 lbs man, unless he's on steroids and is a serious body builder, is overweight but not obese.
Forget thriving. Looks like she won't even have enough to survive.
You mean you don't think she could actually get game with that Alibaba bow? LOL! This stuff is stupid. If anything really bad happens, you need clean water to drink, not cooking pots. No water filter was the first wrong move.
@@eubenhadd462 you overestimate the water filter thing, as most do. in reality, literally 95% of all water sources in north america are fit to drink without purification needed.
@@eubenhadd462 Water filter is not allowed...
@@themittonmethod1243 so you'd bet half a million $, instead of having brains enough to boil all water before drinking it?
Seems a pretty legit setup. Impressed by the hand-made bow.
@Dan Jett Do hush, child. Your attention seeking behaviour speaks poorly of you.
That's not the same knife and fire steel she used in the show. Matt's was also different than the one he showed. I wonder why...
Fishing the lake with the 2000 sq ft of netting possible to make from the cotton rope hammock, , shooting fish from the shore, and trolling treblehook trotlines as you row the raft, those are the keys to reliably feeding yourself. Depending upon how well your guts process diced, boiled, fried cambium, you can mix in 10-20% cambium to live weight fish. Bring the 3 lb block of sea salt, cause you're going to need the electrolytes and the help it'll be at choking down 8 lbs of fish (live weight) per day mixed with 1-2 lbs of cambium, so can have the average of 3000 calories per day needed to keep from losing weight as a big man. This is IF you know to mostly stay holed-up in a debris-pile, conserving your calories. If you;re out in the cold wind all day, maybe getting wet, and aint warm enough inside of your shelter, you can easily need 5000 calories per day, 3000 calories of short-fall will cause you to lose a lb of bodyweight. If you are 6 ft and 180 lbs, you can only spare about 30 lbs of bodyweight. If you have to wait 45 days before you can use the netting, you can lose 50 lbs if you're not careful. and productive.
That 50 pound bow will be hard to draw when she loses a ton of weight.
A lot of poor assumptions in one statement
@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 It's a factual statement, weight loss is inevitable.
That's easily remedied. She could lie down, place the bow beneath her feet, and use both hands to draw. It will not only provide maximum power, but also increased stability and accuracy. The bow is an asset for sure.
@@Jona7Fer Weight and strength/technique are independent variables. Also If she drops one large animal she is good for weeks.
It’s a great point. We’ve seen in season Patagonia somebody unable to restring a bow due to weight loss. Never a bad idea to assume the worst.
Sounds bad, but I find a bow is rarely if ever used.
Hunting big game is unreliable depending on the season, and you need the skills to know how to smoke and store and process all of that meat.
I'd probably swap the bow for a good axe, and make my own bow in the field.
It would be capable of killing birds and and small game in a pinch.
No axe to cut ice ? I think last season a participant quit because of this
Keep your bow in the top of your shelter you want it dry.
That's not a knife!
This is a knoife! 🔪
Watching this show I noticed that her British accent comes and goes then found out that she is from Wyoming. Very strange.
She doesn't have a british accent, it's fake. You hear glimmers of her true American accent when she slips up.
@@EDWARDKILE I hear that. She lives in Exeter England and my girlfriend was born and raised in Copplestone in Devon.
@@peasantsrevolt4780uh, no, she’s actually just really trying to impress you, if this kind of childishness happens to impress you, which I imagine it doesn’t. She’s full of it.
the bow has been a help for 2 out of 77 entrants. and it was by pure luck that an animal was on their 2.5 miles of land, not run off by their campfire smoke. Taking of more than one deer, or ANY ox, moose, caribou is forbidden at Chilko lake. So the bow is not worth taking there, and neither is the snarewire.
no axe, no multi tool. 😬
I can’t think how she will cut the snare wire without wire cutters am I just dumb any one have an answer ?
its a big mistake to put so much time and calories into a shelter that still needs a fire inside of it. One day will let you gather the van-full of soft, small debris that you need, as well as make the pole tent out of the 20x20 tarp. That's all you need until sub freezing weather lets you make an ice-debris quonset hut in one day. Neither shelter needs a fire in it. This tactic saves you 3 weeks of time and calories. That saved time lets you make the 2000 sq ft of 3" mesh netting (10 days) the pontoon outrigger raft (2 days) the baked clay pots and the towed array of poles and 11 treblehooks and lures (2 days) You also need to establish where you can use the seine clearing/marking the snags on the lake floor near the shoreline. Another thing needed is to drive stakes and mark water depth, and hopefully, also mark the most and least productive fishing areas. The netting can of course be made as you're holed-up in the debris pile, awaiting day 45, when you can legally use the netting. So there's really just a week of making things, and 2-3 days of checking/marking the lake. If you're not averaging a catch of at least 5 lbs of fish, per day, so that you can mix in a lb or more of diced, boiled and fried cambium and have 2000+ calories per day, then you should just hole up in the debis pile, conserve your calories and live on your body fat until you can utilize the netting. Once you can use the nets, your loss of bodyweight should stop, cause you should be catching 10+ lbs of fish per day.
Nice work 🎆
Theresa was awesome. Her area didn’t appear to have much wild game. That would hav3 made the difference. Clay was lucky to kill a deer which sustained him.
Theresa was such an amazing survivor. I would love to watch her return
No one ever takes loo roll and a good book?!
The bow is 6 lbs at 26 inches, did I hear that right?.
50 lbs
@@eoglander Thanks Eric, I thought I must have misheard that somehow?.
She brought her nose...
Would love to see one a the contestants rock up with a black hunter recurve bow be more real
Or a bear Kodiak.....🤔
I agree a fiberglass bow would be more reliable but love the traditional archers repping their passion. There's something to be said about using a bow you made yourself
Why does this woman sound like Bane lmao
If Theresa had been in the Patagonia or Mongolia seasons she probably would have won
um. she cant handle the bigger silky saw... but she can handle a 50lb bow... riiiiight
I thought that was odd as well. A longer handle means more leverage, if anything the longer saw would be easier to handle
Ive never seen anyone bring emergency rations before.
I think some people did in the first couple seasons iirc
I thought they all got some emergency rations.
@@RadagastBrown420 it's an option of their 10 items. No one gets them automatically.
Joe robinet
Not that unusual especially in early seasons, as Dallas commented. I believe season 2 winner Dave McIntyre took pemmican food rations.
her fake accent ruined the show for me. clearly dealing with insecurity issues.
