So sad to see her out early as She is truly tough and a great competitor! Much Respect to you Carleigh for how you tried everything to stay in the game.
Looks like Carleigh gets a bad infection because of an embedded hook in her right hand. She can't last long with her dominant hand messed up like that.
Poor Carleigh forgot the one thing she needed, something to remove one of these hooks from her hand. This girl deserves props no doubt. Who sleeps on the ground in Mongolia with nothing between them and the animals!! She is brave!! She deserves a third chance! She has skills!!!
if you take the 12x12 tarp as half clear material and half reflectorized material, you can make a double-walled Kochanski supershelter out of 100 sq ft of it in an hour. This includes the 50 sq ft that you'll have to cut out of the 20x20 tarp. If you can't cut up the 20x20 tarp, it has to be made into both the sleeping bag and the shelter, or it's wasted fabric. you want no more than 4x4x 7 ft of tarp shelter and when you get the 2 inches of snow needed to make an igloo, that's as big as the igloo should be, too. Both need a 2x2x2 ft pit, just inside of the door, so that the cold air can be displaced there and you can be up in the bubble of your trapped body heat, on a raised wooden bed, that you can make in 2 hours, tops, on a foot thick pile of soft debris that you can assemble in an hour, given some evergreen boughs, or 2 hours if you have to cut tall, dead grasses. If you know anything, you don't need that sleeping bag, but it's a good insurance policy. You don't have to heat with fire, either, folks. You don't want to waste all those calories and hours doing so, and if you have any brains you wont have to, either. The supershelter raises outside temps by 30F degrees,, so it works fine down to 0F or a bit colder, and the igloo raises temps by 50F degrees, with just your body heat. being trapped and reflected around so well. So it works adequately even at -40F, if you've got layers of dry debris between the layers of your clothing, between your clothing and the poncho and leggings made out of tarp, between the poncho and the supershelter (once you're in the igloo) and between the poncho and the 10x10 tarp. I'd take the sleeping bag, as insurance in case I didn't get any snow, but it's not necessary in order to not need fire for warmth.
Good luck! Interesting that she didn't bring snare wire (although she has paracord) or an axe, like many of the others. Shows the kinds of hard choices they're having to make.
My 10 items 1) Sleeping bag 2) The bungalow tarp 3) Cooking Pot 4) flint and steel fire lighter 5) Large Leatherman multi tool 6) paracord (fishing and trapping) 7) rations 8) rations 9) rations 10) rations ha ha ha At least I am safe from weather under huge tarp, warm in sleeping bag, can brew tea, cook food, light fires, and have a knife, saw on multitool. With lots of food I might improvise after setting down
You need a modified Crunch multitool, with all of the blades and the vise grip jaws altered. You can take the sleeping bag if you don't take the pemmican/gorp. Best take the snare wire. There will be places where it's too rocky, etc, to drive the stakes needed to mount the jungle whips, or you can't find enough springplles, and you'll have to braid 8 strands of the wire into a cable that will foot-snare a big animal to 150 lbs of drag log. You've only got 1000 sq ft of the 20 ga wire and a strand only has 20 lbs of breaking strength. When you twist wire or cordage into a cable, or rope, you lose 40% of your length. You'll need 200 ft of the wire for snaring small game. so you'll only have 60 ft of 8 strand cable, and you'll need at least 8 ft of the cable to make the snare and attach it to a drag log. So you'll only be making about 7 of the drag-log snares for big critters. You can make as many of the vertical jungle whips as you want. The springbok drives a stake into the brain or spine of the critter. you make.a U shaped brush pile, forcing him to position himself JUST as you want him in order to take the bait. For a couple of weeks, the trap parts are present, but not set. The animals get used to your scent and the benign changes in their environment. THEN you set the spring-poles and the triggers and THEN it will be worth running your trapline twice a day.
Glad to see her back. Wish Callie would have come back too. Toughest runner ups yet these two girls. Well three actually. I think Megan is in here too somewhere. Take my money already and start posting episodes on You Tube!
(possible spoiler, so please watch the 1st episode before reading any further) Anyone have an update on her hand? I hope there was no permanent damage. I got a little sick watching. Felt like my stomach was doing flip flops. So sad that she had to leave so soon, but I'm glad she called instead of taking chances with her hand.
(Nature channel narrator) The wild Carleigh has evolved a long necked saw which gives her access to the choicest branches in the canopy. The shorter necked saws that the other contestants have only allow access to the lower branches which they will burn through quickly and soon freeze to death. Isn’t evolution wonderful!
nothing says you can't take some of your snare wire as copper electrical wire. With the tape, a bit of such wire, a little lint shaved off your shemagh and the camera battery, and a nest of narrow strips of duct tape, you can have a fire in a couple of minutes. prepping those items might take 8 minutes. But then you bed your coals and a bit of charcoal in your ashes, with a little thatched-roof A frame, shelter over the coals vs rain or snow and you'll never again have to make a fire from scratch. You can also make fire with rust from the ferrule of your shovel, by fire-rolling a 2"x8" strip of your shemagh, using the rust as an accelerant. In half a day, you can make a big pump drill, and then friction fire will always be easy, no matter how damp the conditions, (IF you know how to use "drying cycles". )
by not wasting days to make the shelter and weeks to process fire wood, you'll have lots more time to make netting for fish and fowl , treble hooks for predators, and vertical jungle whips for big game. You can make about 400 sq ft of 3" mesh netting per day out of the rope hammock , but only a bit over half tbat much out of the 20x20 tarp. But in about 2 weeks, you'll have the 1000 sq ft of 1.5" mesh and the 500 sq ft of 3" mesh netting. A day makes the treblehooks, a day makes the pontoon outrigger raft. As soon as you get 300 sq ft of netting made, it goes into service as a baited net weir, First for ducks, cause they'll soon be migrated, and later, you'll weave some splits of local vegetation into the 3" mesh, making it into 1.5" mesh for use as a fish-weir.. The vegetative matter is not strong enough for use as a seine, so you'll have to use twice as much of your cordage making the 400-500 sq ft seine., However, with the raft, the seine is going to catch. 20-40 lbs of fish per day and the weirs are going to catch another 10 lbs of fish per day. At night you'll convert the seine into a big, baited weir.
I predict a top 4 finish for Carleigh with a chance to take it all. Water will be a concern before it's over though. Be interesting to see how she and the others chop through river ice.
Michael Hart watched it tonight she was first to call out. Day 3 for her she was fishing and got a hook in her hand. Waited 20 hours trying to work it out, called and tapped out. episode 2 on 6/14/2p18
So very sad, but Carleigh was the first to tap out in season 5. She was off to a roaring start having caught 3 fish by day 4, but then she got a fish hook stuck in her hand and couldn't get it out on her own. There are several techniques for removal of a barbed fish hook in the field including (1) the string yank, (2) the needle cover, and (3) the push-through and cut-it-off. She didn't have the equipment for the last two - an 18 gauge needle for the needle cover, and a multi tool or snipers for the push through and cut, so her only option was the string yank method. Perhaps if she would have been able to cool her hand with the cold water from the stream (snow or ice would be best) to help with the pain, she could have toughed it out and gave the hook a big yank. This technique does work for fish hooks that are deeply embedded, but doing it yourself with your left hand is difficult at best. This is probably how the hook was eventually removed, only with a local anesthetic followed by an antibiotic and tetanus shot. It was really, really sad to see Carleigh tap as she is such a nice lady.
I remembered reading Carleigh caught 6 fishes in whole of Season 3, perhaps the accident was partly contributed by lack of practice? Most clear the hooks with fish stablized on ground, before displaying the catch, however, accident do happen. Hope Carleigh has recovered fully and moved on to her next adventure!
Carleigh has never shown us that she can do anything, other than hang out in her shelter. Why are so many so convinced that she's got what's needed? I mean, come on, It wasn't all that cold in Patagonia. Any one of them could have caught hundreds of lbs of fish in that lake, simply by unraveling a rope hammock and then unraveling the rope into its smaller strands and making netting of it.
I believe that through the first 7 seasons of the show, she has the 4th longest time. Moreover, she didn't tap out in Season 3. She was pulled. As for her doing nothing but hanging out in her shelter, 86 days is basically 3 months. Imagine being dropped off somewhere on January 1st and having to make it on your own til March 27th. Everything that goes in your mouth, you have to find or catch. She had to do a lot more than chill in her hut. Also, and what all of the Alone champs talk about is that the physical challenge is only half of it. The mental endurance is just as important. The lure of being able to go home AND EAT, AND GET WARM was just a button push away. The toughness, when you're starving, to stay out there til they drag you out (which is what happened to Carleigh) says tons about her character. The Season 5 fish hook accident was a freak ending for her. Could happen to anyone. The fact that she endured the hook in her hand for over 20 hours before tapping is a testament that even on her Season 5 stint, she was no Barbie doll.
I'm looking forward to this season though really I think they should have brought Joe robinet back. As for that I'm very disappointed with History Channel.
Bill Randall hey that's your opinion and that's fine so there's no need to actually call the guy I twit. I see what you're saying and all the more reason why not having back for Redemption. I followed him through the years on his RUclips channel and I have to say that he is a very credible Woodsman. He definitely knows this stuff and he just had a bad run during that season some bad luck the things were falling into place. S*** happens as they say. But by all means does not mean that he's not fully capable I've actually surviving a long period of time in the wilderness. He does have the skills and knowledge to succeed in my opinion. I still think he would have made a great addition to the show.
you don't need firewood for warmth, if you know how to make a proper shelter. Wasting precious foraging time, early on, on a shelter and firewood is just ignorant, folks. Kid stuff. You won't BE there to need a winter shelter if you don't score, 200,000 calories and by FAR the most likely way to do that is with netting. You'll starve out before cold weather becomes an issue. You need to take the 3 lb block of salt, as a preservative for meant/fish and as bait for big critters. You need the 25 big single hooks, so you can cut them in half and make 16 small treble hooks and a sewing needle out of them. The sleeves of your outer shell jacket become your water containers. All you have to do is bend them at the wrists, tie them off and then tie them off again at the armpits. Volia a couple of 1 gallon containers. Learn to refine shoreline mud and extract the workable clay. then in 24 hours, you can make a couple of 1 gallon cook pots with lids, , the sieve-ladle and the 100 baked clay balls for the sling bow.
You don't need the rations, the sleeping bag, the cook pot, the saw, the rations, the big knife, the paracord, the canteen or the ferrorod. They went in mid-summer and it was over with 2 weeks after the first freeze, A sling bow is a much better choice than a longbow, cause you can bring take-down arrows for it and always have your projectile weapon in your belt. Also, you can make baked clay balls for use as ammo, for shots not worthy of an arrow. You want the Cold steel shovel and you'l make various types and lengths of handles for it. Create an 8" long saw-edge for it. You can lash a short saw to a pole and reach a lot high than you can with the katana boy. that's cubscout stuff. A 2 person rope hammock has 1500 ft of rope in it and you can unravel the rope into its 5 smaller strands. so would you rather have 265 ft of paracord, or 7500 ft of cordage from the rope hammock? :-) Even if you gut the paracord for its 7 smaller strands, you still only have 1800 ft of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aint 7500 4x as much as 1800? Not to mention that when you bring the 12x12 tarp and use. 100 sq ft of it to make a Kochanski super shelter (in one hour, double thickness) that leaves. 40 sq ft of the reflectorized tarp to use as a poncho, hood, leggings and breechclout. Stuff the area between your clothing and that tarp-stuff with debris. Wear that and the 10x10 "camera" tarp stuffed full of debris, wrapped around you and tied and you'll be plenty warm. inside the super shelter. Use about 50 sq ft of the 20x20 tarp as the outside layer of the back and sides of the Kochanski lean to. stuff debris between the tarp-layers, seal the edges with the big roll of duct tape. Make a raised wooden ben in an hour. Pile a foot thick layer of dry grass on it. If need be, you can heat big rocks and put them under the bed, covered with an Inch thick layer of dirt. Also, if need be, you can "aim" the one way projected heat of a Siberian fire lay at the vertical, clear side of your tarp lean-to. Keep it small, 7 ft long, 4x4t at one end, 3x3 at the other end. just inside of the door flap, have a 2x2x2 ft hole, which is the cold-air "sink". You'll be plenty warm enough to sleep ok at 0F, without any hot rocks or outside fire. Long before it's that cold, you'll have the two inches of snow needed to make an igloo, which never needs a fire., period, given all the clothing that they get to take.
none of them, all 7 seasons, have had a clue. A couple of them got lucky and that's all. We need a 200 day, 2 million $ season of alone. They could easily get insurance to cover the extra mill, since I'm the only one who could last the 200 days. The man who does that can truly say that he's a survival expert. No woman is going to manage it, for a fact. When you can get thru the winter, starting so late, of course you can get thru subsequent winters, by using the bounty of spring, summer and winter to get ready to do so. But all you really need to do is use those warmer seasons to move south about 1000 miles and you wont have to deal with that ice, cold, snow, plants all died back and snow covered, animals hibernating or migrated, etc. It's just stupid to stay in cold country, where you can't get salt, etc. You' ve got to at least move to the coastline, where you can score seals and salt.
I say that the mere fact that every last one of them has been unable to get by without a fire-starter of some sort is enough to disqualify them as being worth a hoot. There's 3 EASY ways to get fire, if you know what you're doing and you can always just bury your coals and some charcoal in the ashes, protect them from runoff, rain and snow and never again have to start a fire "from scratch" while on this challenge. There is no way you should have to waste a gear pick on a fire-starter. Even the most cursory search of youtube will show you several ways to ignite fires and no, I don't mean solar, bow drill etc.
You're basically trolling, sorry to say. Why go through the trouble of all the other methods of fire starting when they're willing to let you take a ferro rod? With a ferro rod and the proper plant material, you can have a fire in seconds. The other methods are NOT easy. If they were, you'd see half the participants not waste one of their 10 item picks on ferro rods. The fact that they ALL choose it shows how useful it is. Now, if you wanna argue that the show's producers should not allow ferro rods, that's a legitimate discussion. That's an arguable point. But if they're allowed, and they're so revered by the survivalists, don't expect anyone to say, "I'm a *real* man (or woman). I don't need no sissy ferro rod."
I always wondered why they never cast Natives in these kinds of show.....but then again maybe they're afraid A Native will make them look bad at survival.....Lol
Bill Randall was a joke. Plus No, we didn't lost our way where I come from, Canada.the cultures and languages are pretty much alive and strong...that's why its diverse and multicultural.
This show is becoming more stupider by the season. Why bring so call survival expertise back when they have already failed. There all plenty of other that would love the opportunity like me. Brad was on it once and lasted a day, now he lasts a week. All knew what is coming and he quit of hunger. Carleigh quit cause fish hook got caught on her hand, and Nicole quite cause of MS attack. This is just beyond stupid and boring now. Why bother being a participant if you knew you have some sort of health issue knowing that it might be the cause of you quitting. I hate it when they know what it is about and all they talk about is oh my family this family that blah blah blah. I'm not an expert but dam well I will outlast any one of these contestants.
Stop doing the shelter-building and firewood processing the HARD way, and you'll do much better. You should only need 3 cords of wood in 100 days, not 50 cords! Sheesh, that's a lot of calories and time wasted! I can't believe that anyone with any more knowledge than a Cub Scout can't figure that out! All of this simple survival stuff used to be done with stone tools. If you "think" that a Crunch multitool and a saw edged E-tool are not 10x more effective than stone hatchets and knives, you're nuts. When you are going to burn 17x less wood, you have no need of an axe or a saw. The shovel, without a handle, is a good prybar, uluk knife, and trowel. With a 2.5 ft long handle, it's an axe. Make that and the hatchet handle for it oval, not round, cause that helps you place your cuts with precision. With a 6-7 ft long handle, the shovel is a walking stick or a spear. With a 5 ft long handle, it's a stand-up shovel or a paddle. Alter it so as to let you switch handles without tools. do the Crunch tool the same way, so you can sharpen the knife blade with one of the file blades. The triangular file blade is for sharpening the saw edge on the shovel.
You can just feel the hopelessness and naivity that comes with having a christian mindset as a human, from this lady. You can see it in her eyes and her body language... it just pours out of this individual.
WRONG, in WW2, Korean, and Vietnamese wars, all studies point to POWs with any religious background had a much higher chance of surviving the ordeal compared to POWs with no religion.
She was very well prepared. What a tough lady. I find her spirit inspiring
Should have brought a multi-use tool to get that hook out of the hand instead of that water bottle.
So sad to see her out early as She is truly tough and a great competitor! Much Respect to you Carleigh for how you tried everything to stay in the game.
Carleigh is wonderful. I hope she gets another chance. She inspires me.
she is such a great role model, and so much courage
So glad to see this smart and tough lady get another chance! God speed girl!
That sucks she got the hook in her hand. I think she was one of the favorites to win it. She had a prime location and the will to do it
Nice saw. Sorry about the fish hook.
She had a shovel in episode one. Larry had one in his 10 items vid. They must have gifted each contestant a shovel
86 Days!!!!! AMAZING!! Great list of items too. Can't wait to see your progress!
Looks like Carleigh gets a bad infection because of an embedded hook in her right hand. She can't last long with her dominant hand messed up like that.
Carleigh has an infection, Larry has PTSD, Randy gets lonely, and the young guy only had one day of experience last season. Should be interesting.
in effect two pots is a mistake in my opinion
Poor Carleigh forgot the one thing she needed, something to remove one of these hooks from her hand. This girl deserves props no doubt. Who sleeps on the ground in Mongolia with nothing between them and the animals!! She is brave!! She deserves a third chance! She has skills!!!
Good Luck, Carleigh!

I was sorry to see her go. She was right, not to risk her life or use of her hand. Maybe she will get another chance, this time was just dumb luck
My 10 items
1) Sleeping bag
2) The bungalow tarp
3) Cooking Pot
4) flint and steel fire lighter
5) Large Leatherman multi tool
6) paracord (fishing and trapping)
7) rations
8) rations
9) rations
10) rations
ha ha ha
At least I am safe from weather under huge tarp, warm in sleeping bag, can brew tea, cook food, light fires, and have a knife, saw on multitool. With lots of food I might improvise after setting down
What no multitool? Your gonna end up regretting that . I’ve never seen a $500,000.00 fishing hook before ?

SPOILER. She's got the reserves to go longer this year. You watch and see. She's going to hard camp and buckled down.
Yeah, she has to be a favourite, if not the, considering how long she lasted the last time out, and that she came second to Fowler.
The Wooded Beardsman Ironic how she lasted 4 days because of a freak accident.
Logan Pike I think she had a good chance at winning had that not happened
Yep. Bet she wishes she had brought a multi tool. Sad to see her go. She was my winner.
Deemantos Yeah definitely. It's a little sad. I would've liked to see a good match between her and whoever had to last against her.
@1:48 😔
Great items. I should probably try out for alone.
Riverbendlongbows Outdoors id root for ya bud.
Bill Randall I don't believe I said those were the items I would take 😉
Bill Randall just being supportive and obviously didn’t work out. Have a great day
My all time favorite TV show has the coolest YT channel! :)
To bad she was forced to tap out. I was rooting for her!
Heart broken that she left due to an injury. I really thought she could win it. Now, I don't know who I'll pull for.
Who
Glad to see her back. Wish Callie would have come back too. Toughest runner ups yet these two girls. Well three actually. I think Megan is in here too somewhere.
Take my money already and start posting episodes on You Tube!
ya Megan lasted more then Callie. and was one of the few that didn't starve..
Your are my favorite!- Mike B.
Why is everyone trying to hunt in every season almost no hunting happens
Good Observation
She shoulda included some tin snips
She should have pushed the hook through instead of trying to pull it out.
I agree, when i was 3 years old i got a fish hook through my lip and that's what my father did to get it out.
(possible spoiler, so please watch the 1st episode before reading any further)
Anyone have an update on her hand? I hope there was no permanent damage. I got a little sick watching. Felt like my stomach was doing flip flops. So sad that she had to leave so soon, but I'm glad she called instead of taking chances with her hand.
Go Carleigh !!!!
Goodluck mate.
unfortunatly no hook remover :(

I read that with David Attenborough's accent in my head.

Drop the food for a more or less identical container lol
Wow!! When is it going to show?
Watch out guys! There is a huge SPOILER of her if you watch the online teaser trailer.
I predict a top 4 finish for Carleigh with a chance to take it all. Water will be a concern before it's over though. Be interesting to see how she and the others chop through river ice.
Michael Hart watched it tonight she was first to call out. Day 3 for her she was fishing and got a hook in her hand. Waited 20 hours trying to work it out, called and tapped out. episode 2 on 6/14/2p18
Josh Kent, that multitool would have been "hand"-y

This technique does work for fish hooks that are deeply embedded, but doing it yourself with your left hand is difficult at best. This is probably how the hook was eventually removed, only with a local anesthetic followed by an antibiotic and tetanus shot.
It was really, really sad to see Carleigh tap as she is such a nice lady.
No need axe?
This is a girl full of Grit.
Carleigh has put on weight, looks stronger, which will allow her to survive better !
She biiiiig! Hard to tell in some shots, but in the making the cast show, you could tell from the side that she was masssssive!
They know it's about who can start the heaviest.. no one wants to be pulled again
Fish hook
I remembered reading Carleigh caught 6 fishes in whole of Season 3, perhaps the accident was partly contributed by lack of practice? Most clear the hooks with fish stablized on ground, before displaying the catch, however, accident do happen. Hope Carleigh has recovered fully and moved on to her next adventure!
Yng Shiang Tan yeah she recovered. I just think at that point she hadn't hooked the fish deep enough and it came loose
What brand backpack is that
I think I would have ditched one pot and brought a 2-pound bag of salt
Too bad she didn't take a multi tool
What if i bring M4A1-S or AK47?
Yes. Give me a break. Bear country & you get bear spray & a boat horn. You have to have someone to have your back. 5.56 or 7.62 sound good.
How many different TV show's will she be on. Come on History.
What other shows was she on besides alone ?
Anyone know what kind of saw that is?
Silky Katanaboy. They're a fantastic saw
Carleigh has never shown us that she can do anything, other than hang out in her shelter. Why are so many so convinced that she's got what's needed? I mean, come on, It wasn't all that cold in Patagonia. Any one of them could have caught hundreds of lbs of fish in that lake, simply by unraveling a rope hammock and then unraveling the rope into its smaller strands and making netting of it.
I believe that through the first 7 seasons of the show, she has the 4th longest time. Moreover, she didn't tap out in Season 3. She was pulled. As for her doing nothing but hanging out in her shelter, 86 days is basically 3 months. Imagine being dropped off somewhere on January 1st and having to make it on your own til March 27th. Everything that goes in your mouth, you have to find or catch. She had to do a lot more than chill in her hut. Also, and what all of the Alone champs talk about is that the physical challenge is only half of it. The mental endurance is just as important. The lure of being able to go home AND EAT, AND GET WARM was just a button push away. The toughness, when you're starving, to stay out there til they drag you out (which is what happened to Carleigh) says tons about her character. The Season 5 fish hook accident was a freak ending for her. Could happen to anyone. The fact that she endured the hook in her hand for over 20 hours before tapping is a testament that even on her Season 5 stint, she was no Barbie doll.
Yeah. This Tasha needs to see a psychiatrist.
I'm looking forward to this season though really I think they should have brought Joe robinet back. As for that I'm very disappointed with History Channel.
Bill Randall hey that's your opinion and that's fine so there's no need to actually call the guy I twit. I see what you're saying and all the more reason why not having back for Redemption. I followed him through the years on his RUclips channel and I have to say that he is a very credible Woodsman. He definitely knows this stuff and he just had a bad run during that season some bad luck the things were falling into place. S*** happens as they say. But by all means does not mean that he's not fully capable I've actually surviving a long period of time in the wilderness. He does have the skills and knowledge to succeed in my opinion. I still think he would have made a great addition to the show.
Bill Randall why would we want you to go comment everywhere? Oh yeah, we don’t
why do people use arrows that are. 6" too long for their draw stroke? it's just extra, pointless weight that slows down the arrow.
you don't need firewood for warmth, if you know how to make a proper shelter. Wasting precious foraging time, early on, on a shelter and firewood is just ignorant, folks. Kid stuff. You won't BE there to need a winter shelter if you don't score, 200,000 calories and by FAR the most likely way to do that is with netting. You'll starve out before cold weather becomes an issue. You need to take the 3 lb block of salt, as a preservative for meant/fish and as bait for big critters. You need the 25 big single hooks, so you can cut them in half and make 16 small treble hooks and a sewing needle out of them. The sleeves of your outer shell jacket become your water containers. All you have to do is bend them at the wrists, tie them off and then tie them off again at the armpits. Volia a couple of 1 gallon containers. Learn to refine shoreline mud and extract the workable clay. then in 24 hours, you can make a couple of 1 gallon cook pots with lids, , the sieve-ladle and the 100 baked clay balls for the sling bow.
i wanted carleigh to win and finally give the ladys a score.....but.....anyway i think Randy's going to win
I'd have to bring more than 10 items.
Oh you would be looking for the show disney does.
No Ax?
Going to be tough to get water from the river after freeze up.
What is the knife model and brand?

She is well fed, the female body is specially adapted for energy preservation, contrary to male bodies.
Rations pogchamp
You don't need the rations, the sleeping bag, the cook pot, the saw, the rations, the big knife, the paracord, the canteen or the ferrorod. They went in mid-summer and it was over with 2 weeks after the first freeze, A sling bow is a much better choice than a longbow, cause you can bring take-down arrows for it and always have your projectile weapon in your belt. Also, you can make baked clay balls for use as ammo, for shots not worthy of an arrow. You want the Cold steel shovel and you'l make various types and lengths of handles for it. Create an 8" long saw-edge for it. You can lash a short saw to a pole and reach a lot high than you can with the katana boy. that's cubscout stuff. A 2 person rope hammock has 1500 ft of rope in it and you can unravel the rope into its 5 smaller strands. so would you rather have 265 ft of paracord, or 7500 ft of cordage from the rope hammock? :-) Even if you gut the paracord for its 7 smaller strands, you still only have 1800 ft of it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aint 7500 4x as much as 1800? Not to mention that when you bring the 12x12 tarp and use. 100 sq ft of it to make a Kochanski super shelter (in one hour, double thickness) that leaves. 40 sq ft of the reflectorized tarp to use as a poncho, hood, leggings and breechclout. Stuff the area between your clothing and that tarp-stuff with debris. Wear that and the 10x10 "camera" tarp stuffed full of debris, wrapped around you and tied and you'll be plenty warm. inside the super shelter. Use about 50 sq ft of the 20x20 tarp as the outside layer of the back and sides of the Kochanski lean to. stuff debris between the tarp-layers, seal the edges with the big roll of duct tape. Make a raised wooden ben in an hour. Pile a foot thick layer of dry grass on it. If need be, you can heat big rocks and put them under the bed, covered with an Inch thick layer of dirt. Also, if need be, you can "aim" the one way projected heat of a Siberian fire lay at the vertical, clear side of your tarp lean-to. Keep it small, 7 ft long, 4x4t at one end, 3x3 at the other end. just inside of the door flap, have a 2x2x2 ft hole, which is the cold-air "sink". You'll be plenty warm enough to sleep ok at 0F, without any hot rocks or outside fire. Long before it's that cold, you'll have the two inches of snow needed to make an igloo, which never needs a fire., period, given all the clothing that they get to take.
bad break....hated to see it...!!
Least favourite contestant, not surprising the was out early.
none of them, all 7 seasons, have had a clue. A couple of them got lucky and that's all. We need a 200 day, 2 million $ season of alone. They could easily get insurance to cover the extra mill, since I'm the only one who could last the 200 days. The man who does that can truly say that he's a survival expert. No woman is going to manage it, for a fact. When you can get thru the winter, starting so late, of course you can get thru subsequent winters, by using the bounty of spring, summer and winter to get ready to do so. But all you really need to do is use those warmer seasons to move south about 1000 miles and you wont have to deal with that ice, cold, snow, plants all died back and snow covered, animals hibernating or migrated, etc. It's just stupid to stay in cold country, where you can't get salt, etc. You' ve got to at least move to the coastline, where you can score seals and salt.
Ugh. You're annoying.
Are you married to Bill Randall?
I think they are dating....
She looked like she put some EXTRA weight on to avoid starvation
Two containers? Wasted item should have taken the cooking pot and chosen an axe or hatchet instead of the water bottle
agree
She did 86 days with 2 containers already. She knows what she's doing.
She should have traded that second container in for a multi tool. They’re good for things like.... pushing through barbed fish hooks.
I say that the mere fact that every last one of them has been unable to get by without a fire-starter of some sort is enough to disqualify them as being worth a hoot. There's 3 EASY ways to get fire, if you know what you're doing and you can always just bury your coals and some charcoal in the ashes, protect them from runoff, rain and snow and never again have to start a fire "from scratch" while on this challenge. There is no way you should have to waste a gear pick on a fire-starter. Even the most cursory search of youtube will show you several ways to ignite fires and no, I don't mean solar, bow drill etc.
You're basically trolling, sorry to say. Why go through the trouble of all the other methods of fire starting when they're willing to let you take a ferro rod? With a ferro rod and the proper plant material, you can have a fire in seconds. The other methods are NOT easy. If they were, you'd see half the participants not waste one of their 10 item picks on ferro rods. The fact that they ALL choose it shows how useful it is. Now, if you wanna argue that the show's producers should not allow ferro rods, that's a legitimate discussion. That's an arguable point. But if they're allowed, and they're so revered by the survivalists, don't expect anyone to say, "I'm a *real* man (or woman). I don't need no sissy ferro rod."
Yeah. Kookoo bananas
Shouldve taken a leatherman
I always wondered why they never cast Natives in these kinds of show.....but then again maybe they're afraid A Native will make them look bad at survival.....Lol
Dene Pride 😂
Bill Randall was a joke. Plus No, we didn't lost our way where I come from, Canada.the cultures and languages are pretty much alive and strong...that's why its diverse and multicultural.
The black dudes are always some of the first to go :)
Because they only cast people from the Us
Daniel Middleton as if there's any Natives in the US, especially Alaska lol
This show is becoming more stupider by the season. Why bring so call survival expertise back when they have already failed. There all plenty of other that would love the opportunity like me. Brad was on it once and lasted a day, now he lasts a week. All knew what is coming and he quit of hunger. Carleigh quit cause fish hook got caught on her hand, and Nicole quite cause of MS attack.
This is just beyond stupid and boring now. Why bother being a participant if you knew you have some sort of health issue knowing that it might be the cause of you quitting. I hate it when they know what it is about and all they talk about is oh my family this family that blah blah blah. I'm not an expert but dam well I will outlast any one of these contestants.
well said.......for a man who cant even change a diaper....✌
Stop doing the shelter-building and firewood processing the HARD way, and you'll do much better. You should only need 3 cords of wood in 100 days, not 50 cords! Sheesh, that's a lot of calories and time wasted! I can't believe that anyone with any more knowledge than a Cub Scout can't figure that out! All of this simple survival stuff used to be done with stone tools. If you "think" that a Crunch multitool and a saw edged E-tool are not 10x more effective than stone hatchets and knives, you're nuts. When you are going to burn 17x less wood, you have no need of an axe or a saw. The shovel, without a handle, is a good prybar, uluk knife, and trowel. With a 2.5 ft long handle, it's an axe. Make that and the hatchet handle for it oval, not round, cause that helps you place your cuts with precision. With a 6-7 ft long handle, the shovel is a walking stick or a spear. With a 5 ft long handle, it's a stand-up shovel or a paddle. Alter it so as to let you switch handles without tools. do the Crunch tool the same way, so you can sharpen the knife blade with one of the file blades. The triangular file blade is for sharpening the saw edge on the shovel.
She was so attractive when starvation mode had her weight under control
Here's a trophy for successfully posting something to get a rise out of people. Now go away and let the adults talk.
@@owlexS ah the truth. Gets them Everytime.
Little spoiled girl never survive in Mongolia its not a game.
Uninformed idiot
You can just feel the hopelessness and naivity that comes with having a christian mindset as a human, from this lady. You can see it in her eyes and her body language... it just pours out of this individual.
WRONG, in WW2, Korean, and Vietnamese wars, all studies point to POWs with any religious background had a much higher chance of surviving the ordeal compared to POWs with no religion.
