Hi Mitch, I am so happy to know that the knife I built for you fulfilled it's duties. I realise the importance of a knife in such a situation.. I often wonder what sort of lives my creations live. They are all over the globe now and in remote places. I will never get to see these places for myself, but to know my work has been there is very warming indeed.. Thankyou for choosing to take the knife. Sandy
NativeSurvival Brother I been following you for over 5 years. I just hope you know what a Blessing you are to my wife and I. I would love to ask for one bit off help. Would you be willing to show us how to sharpen a blade using a stone. I have the most trouble with this. Thanks and God Bless
I have so much respect for all 10 of you guys who did this show's first season. Those weather conditions are TOUGH. Nothing is ever truly dry. Especially tinder or firewood. Long nights, the tide running is a constant clock, ohh and here's 45 extra pounds of stuff for you to lug around that doesn't do anything to improve your day to day situation. And when seconds count in an encounter with a large predator, the people coming to help you might be 4 hours away. I don't have those skills. I don't have the practiced mindfulness to read that environment and discover the things that will be a help to me. Kudos to you all.
Stan Sambey I could kill those bears with my sling shot with a broad head in it. The guy that had the mother and her cubs though, he should of just moved camp.
I would much rather be in the Australian bush where we have many of the worlds deadliest snakes and spiders rather than having bears, Cougars and wolves as potential threats. Though if you are up North we also have sharks and crocodiles which are highly intelligent and seriously dangerous.
Darryl Machtmes Respect for all 10? Hardly. Of the 10 men out there, 5 were whiny little babies, who had no business being there. One got sick .. but due to his own stupidity and should not have been their either. SIX of those ten people didn't even make it a week. On the show, "Naked and Afraid," after one of the two people was removed, due to illness, a WOMAN, naked, alone, with MUCH LESS survival equipment then those 6 wannabes had, made it 11 days! The last 4 men on, "Alone," they lasted nearly 2 months and EARNED respect. The man in this video is one of those men, worthy of respect. Let us consider: the whiny little bitch who taps out, after 3 days, because he lost his flint; or to a lying pussy who taps out after 4, because of an imaginary a bear attack; or to a, self-proclaimed "tough guy," who can't even make it 24 hours, leaving in tears. To liken this man, placing him under the same caliber as those, who didn't make it a week, is a disgrace to all he accomplished.
Alleycat 27 I'm not even convinced that guy lost his fire steel. My favorite part was where a Cop can't even last a day, I guess he realized that Mother Nature and it's inhabitants didn't give a damn about his badge.
Watching the show religiously every Thursday night! Love the show and really respect the fact that Mitch is holding up. As the show goes on I can realize how being completely "alone" can break you down. Hoping and praying you make it all the way! But in my books you've already proved that you are the man!
Mitch, I wanted to congratulate you on a job well done. First show in a very long time where the good guys won. I loved most of the guys out there, especially the final four. You made us all proud and I cannot thank you enough for representing yourself the way you did. Hope your mom is well and you got a chance to kiss your lovely wife and that beautiful daughter. Nothing but pride in having been a multi-year subscriber. You did great brother!!
The show was beautiful and really affected me. I am very grateful that you went on that show and shared what you did. It was incredible and powerful and made me question myself. Thank you, and all the other contestants. Every one of you made that show incredible.
Thanks Mitch. Love your passion for the equipment that your took. You can really tell how much they meant to you. Probably even more now. I remember when you said you were leaving to do the show. I am very happy you returned safe.
Mitch, first and foremost, Thank you for sharing your faith and letting us see you love your family and miss your daughter and wife. I want to tell you that you are my favorite to win. I am totally impressed with your abilities and enjoy watching you in this series. I sense a little annoyance in your voice. Dont let it eat your lunch, you are a talented survivalist and even though it was ridiculous to count these items separately, you still are alive. I think I could do this, but till I am on the shore and watch the boat pull away, it means nothing. I will always respect you because you stepped out and took the challenge. We love you Mitch and this show is just a passing thing. You have made a name for yourself before this ever came along. Win, lose, or draw, you are still a total badass.
No matter who takes the gold, every Olympian stands tall. Survivalists train to get out of a survival situation, you 10 went the opposite, prolonging it as long as possible, pushing your skills to the limit. You sir, are an Olympian. I have learned a lot from your videos over the years, and of the 10 on the island you were my favorite. Your mindset and spirituality seems to best match my own. I look forward to more great videos from you!
Thank you for sharing your choices Mitch. Very interesting to get your insight on how your thought process worked when planning for this adventure. I am anxiously awaiting this weeks episode to see what goes down with the cougar that came into your camp at the end of last weeks show! Peace, Shane
Not usually a fan of too many "TV shows" but this is real stuff right here...You guys filming yourself out there sharing what your really feeling and goin through putting your skills to the test, tryin to live, for different reasons, I feel it! Lot of respect for ya Mitch, since the beginning of this I have a feeling its gonna come down to you and Lucas out there like 60-90 days and if you can survive that long in those conditions and that craziness, that will be somethin...anyway, thanks man, Ive watched a lot of your videos and have learned a lot from them, your a good dude! Peace
Mitch, you're such a wonderful presence on this show - one that has quickly become one of my favourite TV shows in a long time, I don't watch much of it - Starting to watch your RUclips videos now and they're great! Excellent job out there on the island so far, and wishing you luck in all your future explorations!
Mitch, just started watching Alone & know this video is a few yrs old, just want to say God bless you brother!! A few moments ago I watched Chris' video on his PM101 channel & heard all of what he said from start to finish. Much respect to ya!! 👍👍
i got respect for all the cast to even try it. Mitch your a warrior dude. you made the best decision in the world and kudos for gutting it out so long!
Well said Mitch. I completely understand your choices. Your skill set dictated the level of importance in your selection. Most of the gear choices were the same across the board but each persons strengths and weaknesses changed 2 or 3 items. Very intriguing! I have to say I got very excited to see that jacklore close up on episode 4. I had just finished watching one of Sandy's shop construction videos prior to the show. I thought how proud it must have made Sandy to see his work on a big internationally renowned show :) So cool man! Wanted to attend your class on the 24th but had some unexpected expenses arise. Maybe I'll be able to head down 95 for the next one! Take care -Chris
I subbed a few months before Alone was even made and I respected your videos but after seeing your tapout episode words can't say it man. I wish you and your family well. Thoughts and prayers go out to your mom. You won that hands down considering your mother's situation drifting around in your head the whole time.
Randal Flagg It was her decision i go, she made me promise she wouldnt be the reason id not go. That was a promise i couldnt keep when i realized my last christmas with her i was gonna miss in a few weeks and a host of other moments. i was terrified id come home to a gravestone, no more hugs, no more smiles. its still gonna happen but i have a little time with her now. i was told to not reply to these types of comments and i havnt until yours. take care Mitch
I'll give it to you Mitch, you actually made it further than we thought. As my wife and I watched we felt like you were struggling but once you got the salmon we realised you'd done a 180 mentally and physically. Congratulations on making it so far mate :)
I'm glad you made it out okay. I can't wait until you can openly talk about everything you went through to survive that excursion. And I can't wait until you can talk about any changes you would have made, if you had to do it again, or any regrets you might have had. Thanks for all you've taught us.
Watching the show you come to realize how being really alone works on your mind and breaks down your spirit to continue. I could see it in all the guys and was some out amazed how quickly this happens. Fearing for you personal safety every day is draining and makes you question your decision to participate in the show..
Thanks for the vid Mitch. Easily my favorite show on TV. It's killing me to have to wait a week between shows. Hope you won but either way I'm glad you got home safe to your family.
You were the contestant I voted for Mitch and happy to see you are still there in Episode 8! I really like the calm you have shown...from what I have seen your calmness was the best out of all 10 and speaks very highly of your comfort level in the bush. I also liked Alan's thoughts on dealing with inner demons while alone for extended periods...they just surface and it's just you to deal with them...deal with regrets and the past...I have found that to be so true on my own expeditions. Just a friendly word on the bears and cougars and wolves and this is not directed at you Mitch but the countless people who speak in fear about them.........has anyone else noticed how the remaining 4 contestants don't really speak about these critters anymore? There is a reason for that and I don't think anyone would understand unless they have spent enough time in the bush. Anyway cheers Mitch and thank you for your most excellent youtube channel!
You did good Mitch, us massholes are hard workers and tough people, me and my family were rooting for one of our own, we are all glad to see your doing well and alive (instead of alone) keep up the good work! From westfield ma.
The masshole thing caught my attention. If you're that guy that cut me off I didn't mean it, I was just mad. when it comes down to it we're pulling for Mitch up here in Maine as well.
Mitch leaving what would be a huge achievement for his life just to see his mother who was rushed in to the hospital is totally one of the most manliest acts i've ever seen in a reality show. Kudos to you Mitch. Totally love watchin' you in the Alone show and i learned alot from the 10 of you.
Hey Mitch, that mental aspect of the adventure was a big load, right? Goes to show we are social creators and need each other. Love the show. I am excited about tonight's show.
Been watching Alone up till episode 5. I was rooting for Mitch since i've been watching his youtube channel since before the show and knew he had awesome survival skills. My personal opinion is that Mitch has shown tremendous skills from the get go. Mitch had fire in impossible conditions, built a boat out of nothing which blew me away. I was actually clapping! I have never seen that type of flotation device in any other survival show. Impressive! To top it off had found a fresh water stream then caught & roasted 5lbs of fish meat while others were eating slugs!!! My worries started when in episode 4 the MT lion was in area. I know Mitch has great survival skills but i've seen nothing on his channel about how to handle dangerous wildlife. Wasn't sure if that was going to cause him to hit that button. Then I watched episode 5. I predict Mitch is 500k richer unless dangerous wildlife makes it too hazardous. As far as surviving based on pure skill..... food, water, shelter Mitch definable has my vote! I would like to see more youtube vids that might cover things like dangerous wildlife and other areas that might be of interest based on your experience on the show Alone. Maybe a new take on essential gear or other concerns based on these new experiences.
Thanks for sharing Mitch. I've never been in a place that was so wet that it would mold my boots over night. Amazing stuff. Learning a lot from this show and all the kit info. Looks like you have picked some really good items but not a lot of kit for a long term stay. You have my respect man.
Brother you have my respect. You achieved something very very few would even be willing to test themselves with. I can tell you with great reserve that with my physical challenges that the cold alone would have been my undoing. I would love an opportunity to test my knowledge experience and my current handicaps to see if I could still survive and for how long. My fatherly responsibilities won't offer up the time. I love my boy very much. Any ways with God anything is possible. God's speed.
Mitch just want to start off with you did amazingly on alone, and that I was really rooting foe you. I was berry sorry to here that ur mom has cancer and that I hope for the best with you and her thru your hard times. Keep ur head up. You have a fan here sending you good thoughts.
Hey Mr. Mitchell, I'm really pleased to see you still in the last 4. My hopes are pinned on you for the win sir. You do a great job out there. Of all the 10 ppl you are miles ahead in terms of composure and strategy. I imagine the biggest hardship for you would be missing your family. Without that burden I imagine you would still be out there. Bless ya buddy. I hope to come to the native survival school for a few lessons when I make it back to the northern hemisphere. In the mean time if you feel like coming to New Zealand I'm happy to put you up in my house. Cheers Robert
That extreme cold weather army bag is the exact same one I have. Had it over 20 years (since the military, of course) and it's hands' down the warmest bag I've ever had. When I was in Korea, we used that for cold weather training. 10 degrees below zero and you had to sleep overnight with just that and your pad. Works like a charm. So good, in fact, that often I'd bring it with me on long guard duty in the middle of the winter and drape it over me to keep warm.
Hey Mitch, good going so far on the show. I love your choice of items because they are different from mine and your justification on some made me change my mind. Good stuff!
Hi Mitch, I've been following the show and love it. I was wondering if the bivy would be an extra item, thanks for covering that. Your pot lid if polished could make a tremendous parabolic mirror for lighting fires. I've polished several aluminum lids and they work great to light some of last nights charcoal. Stainless steel would be tough to polish but it can be done. Thanks for all you share.
A great selection of items. I just wanted to add some comments: Survival is about adaptation and you not only adapted to the environment and demonstrated some serious bushcraft/survival skill sets; you adapted to the limits of a TV show as well!! I thought you were going to tap out when the cougar dropped by while you were enjoying some salmon. You didn't, which speaks to your mental fortitude. Simply amazing. I'm learning a lot from watching your channel. Props to all the guys that took the risk to venture out there and put themselves out there. Not easy at all. That being said, IMO, the show did illuminate the more "advanced" survivalists from the "beginners". This isn't meant as a negative but simply an observation. Anyway, great job and good channel.
You're a good dude Mitch. I'm really liking Alone, which I haven't been able to say for a survival show for a while now. You put out a lot of good information, so thanks. I live in the Ozarks in southwest Missouri, so our environments are a little different, but if you're ever out this way you'll love our forests. Enjoy the outdoors my friend.
Hey Mitch, been busy with life lately so waay behind on following your channel but just wanted to say congratulations for the awesome effort on Alone and the decision of character to return and spend some precious time with your sick mother. That sure brought some tears to my eyes seeing your reunion with her. One of the biggest "untold" stories of this series. And leaving behind your wife and daughter must have been a like supreme sacrifice. Great effort man, you'll have tales to tell for a lifetime!
+Canesser As Lucas said in his return home, "life is better shared, that's really just the reality." Amen, although it is equally important to find that time alone with the Lord and His awesome Creation.
A very well thought out kit. I wouldn't expect any less from you. It's interesting hearing about all the crazy restrictions they put on what you could bring. That definitely makes planning a kit even more difficult than it should be. I'm rooting for you. I can't wait for the next episode.
Hello Mitch, I'm a very big fan of your videos. I'm also from MA and I'm out north Winchendon. Anyways I just wanted to say that I really admire your knowledge of primative native survival... I have learned and gained some great things. Please keep up the good work and God bless you and your family.
You and the rest of the season one guys were at what will come to be a disadvantage from anyone on future seasons of Alone. If they've seen the show, they'll know more of what to expect or what to be prepared for than you guys did. Nevertheless, you guys showed real ingenuity and I admire, not only your skill, but also your passion.
oh Mitch. i am so sorry about illness in your family. i havent been able to watch episode but there are spoiler comments on facebook. praying for blessings, healing and peace.
Ive been watching your channel for a while now and when i saw the show Alone, it took me 3 episodes to say "hey i know of him from youtube" lol but, so far really enjoying your method of self reliance in the vancouver island wilderness and ive watched 4 episodes so far. Its easy for people to sit at their computer and say should of done this and that but you never really know until your out there. Great job and keep it up.
Fourteen Days & Four Remaining - If I understand correctly, at 14 days, those remaining didn't have any idea of how many others were also remaining. In most competitions, the competitors know exactly (or very close to it) where they stand in regards to each other. That knowledge can be a light at the end of the tunnel to some degree. Not knowing how many remain, seems to remove that light, so to speak. If most remain, this could go on for months...... If most already gone, each day could be the last day of the challenge. An interesting twist to facing the unknown without any way to gauge how much longer before crossing the theoretical finish line. Definitely a challenge when compared to knowing when a competition will end.
when it's for real, you dont now when it will be over, either. Poor lil wusses that can't even last 2 weeks, dont belong anywhere, being nothing but snowflakes, much less on a survival show.
I enjoyed the show a great deal. All you in the final four impressed me a great deal and I knew it was going to come down to mental endurance with all of you because your survival skills were sound. You did extremely well.
Hey Mitch! Just watched episode 6 and was glad to see you were still hanging in there. I completely agree with your opinion on clam chowder, the red stuff ain't chowder, it's tomato soup with clams in it!
Huge props Mitch. I'm an island girl and know all too well the conditions you faced. I do have a big beef with the show's producers for not having rescue/ first aid closer by, or at least hire some locals with guns just in case. It's a tragic accident waiting to happen imo. Newly subbed.
Not letting you have the cover for your sleeping bag was HARSH. How many sleeping bags come with a waterproof covering fully attached? Also surprised you couldn't have bankline. I thought charring that material was brilliant. I've seen you and others use this method, but I never would've thought of it in that situation. For some reason I associate it with bowdrills, steel and flint rock
Thanks Mitch. Thanks for doing the show, thanks for all your videos. No idea how the show will turn out, who will win, etc. Not important really. I am pulling for you but more importantly, I appreciate your sharing the experience. I have learned a lot from you.
I wasn't not a subscriber to your channel but I recognised you from youtube when I saw you on the show. it's been great watching you out there. cool to see you doing videos on the show, it's great to hear you explain why you'd pick certain items it gives a lot of insight. thanks.
Mitch - much respect. I wouldn't have lasted a night out there. Especially with the bears and all. Good to see that there are still people who practice the things our ancestors knew how to do. Every human should know how to do this stuff. Been a subscriber for a while and enjoy your videos. God bless you and your family. Hope you win bro!
Im not going to bombard you with a bunch of questions here...I'll just watch your videos and listen to your responses to others questions. Just want you to know I have never enjoyed watching a show as much as this one....I thought you did a great job! Would love to sit down for a cup of coffee with you sometimes. I bet you have some great stories!! ps......I thought I was a pretty good outdoors guy but all you guys impressed the hell out of me!
i was really impressed at the shows start, first one to get a fire started, first one to catch a fish..still pulling for you to win..hell of an outdoorsman either way
Hello, I wanted to express the same as Bordercollie did - I have been getting a lot from your videos, getting ready to do some small scale outings and discovered your adventure on ALONE just yesterday. I am not through the episodes yet so as of typing this I don't know the official winner is but as far as I'm concerned I've learned the most from you. My wife came up with names for everyone and your's is "The smart guy" - I agree. Don't know if I could endure that much time out there. Maybe one day I'll find out. Just got to the part where the net was missing.. Anyway - Just wanted to say hello and thanks for all the great videos!!
Great choices Mitch. I think you did great out there! I totally get why you left when you did, I would have done the same thing. In the end, you were a winner too! All the best, Dawn
Never knew that was you on Alone... Was just watching a few of your videos as I stumbled on to your channel 43 days... much respect there. That show looked brutal. Vancouver Island also looked WET. Just rotten with a cold, humid, constant rain. Interesting video. Great show and tell. I agree with your choices. Can always store water in your pot. Solid tools, solid sleep system. When I was in the Yukon traveling by canoe [in the fall] I kept my sleeping bag in its own dry bag attached to me at all times - because if the canoe flipped - the sleeping bag would have saved my life after I swam to shore. Keep up the good videos.
Great choices bud. I'm no Good with a net so that was the one I wasn't sure about but you put that right to work for you. Looking forward to the next show.
DannoCrutch thanks Danno, indeed things feel different in life now after living in the woods, including the items that shared the time with me, they and the memories are one.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and Items,good tip on the Nagura,thanks.The Bivi had to be one with the Sleepingbag like the Bow with the Arrows,anyway you did a great job so far.Take care and rock on. Falko
I love the repeat.. my knife... my knife. Props on the sharpening stone. Its like having an ice axe with out crampons. It just doesn't sense to have one with out the other.
Hi, Mitch Congratulations on being part of such an awesome show, looking forward to when you can a more in depth conversation on your experiences... also you mentioned you made mods to your bow.. how about a video of why you chose the montana longbow and how you made it better... Thank You for sharing your skills.
I don't usually frequent the comment section but I'm so enthralled with this show and everyone's experiences, I wanted to check your feelings a little if I may. First of all, major respect to you and every other participant for landing out there and even more for what you've endured; I can't begin to imagine it and your skills and spirit are both humbling (that's an understatement). That said, I was wondering if you're watching the show as it goes on - I can absolutely see it being an experience you aren't ready to see in a third person. If you are, I'm curious how your feelings on some of your experiences have been affected compared to the moment you were in them; did they mostly stay the same or did you feel differently upon seeing what everyone else was experiencing at the time? I know that it's already done and we're all just waiting to see it, but I'm cheering you on nonetheless!
I am glad I watched this, it took some big ones to do this. I have to watch this now, the crazy thing is last weekend I bought a mother ship from a yard sale for $5.00 I could not leave fast enough. I think it is older and maybe just down but it is really nice and heavy. Glad you made it man. I am subbing thnx
Hi Mitch.... I was so touched by this weeks show, to bad you missed your little ones birthday but I bet you made up for it in a big way when you got home, Sooooo proud of you, great selection of gear and thanks for sharing the reasons behind it too, you guys are teaching us so much!!!!! good to here you put your faith in our heavenly father as well..Blessings and Take Care
karenchakey Ditto Karen! I am amazed at your candidness Mitch and i was glad to see your heartfelt prayers to God before you ate your fish even though I know you were starving. Kudos! Also glad to see you explain your reasoning on the items you chose.
Hi Mitch, I've only been aware of the Alone series just recently. Been watching Season 1. You were one of the few that I knew on the show. Thanks for sharing your experience. Kudos to all you guys and what you experienced. Thanks for sharing Cheers ShazBoo
Mitch I have been a long time sub to your channel.. I never even considered watching the show till I seen a commercial and seen you were there, That's when I knew they had picked some real experts for this adventure. I went back and watched every episode from start. That being said I'm from Ga. so i had picked my 2 favorites very fast and which ever one of the 2 it would be I was going to be happy. A little more in to the show ALL of you guys took on a challenge that was unbelievable. Respect for all on the show but bud with what you were carrying no amount of money can buy time. If I had a million dollars rite now I would give it for 1 day with my dad that is gone now. I respect everything you done on the show, Really you were the only one that didn't tap so far because of a animal and you had a cat wanting you!!! You showed you could handle everything that place had and like I said I was a fan before but man I see you in a new lite. I hope you and yours the best in your future adventures and always remember your a champ to me.... Peace brother
Congrats man. That is one damp, shady, north facing spot. The producers did a good job of showing how much it rains here on the outer coast. Awachalto reserve on forward inlet has a lot of clams and not much else to eat in November. Glad to see that you managed to harvest salmon from the aptly named Bear Creek.The little island out front that you may have been able to reach on a low tide is covered in crab apple trees. Some of them might not have rotted yet. Of the final four of you, your reserve was definitely the poorest in food potential. Again congrats for toughing it out for so long.
Hey Mitch, I was rooting for you the whole time. Great Pot. I like the raccoon! Seems like you guys get a lot of slack from people and a lot of questions. Stay positive. I've learned from your videos.
Hey Mitch, I've read through every comment so far and did not see these asked yet: In retrospect, would you opt for the exact same knife in stainless vs the carbon you had? All that salt water... Also wondering what was provided for first aid training and/or gear. My other questions were already answered: fishing line weight, headlamps, and of course the tarps. lol Big fan of your channel; great work on the show; best wishes! I'm heading to Port Hardy for a salmon fishing trip next month. Your Coho catch got me pretty excited for the trip! :-)

Hi Mitch,
I am so happy to know that the knife I built for you fulfilled it's duties. I realise the importance of a knife in such a situation.. I often wonder what sort of lives my creations live. They are all over the globe now and in remote places. I will never get to see these places for myself, but to know my work has been there is very warming indeed..
Thankyou for choosing to take the knife.
Sandy
Jackloreknives Was very glad indeed to have it with me my friend ; )
Thank you again for such a gift. Your blade was shown closeup in episode 4.
Sandy, love your work Mate! It's top shelf. Love to place an order once your workshop is done and your knives are up. Cheers
NativeSurvival Brother I been following you for over 5 years. I just hope you know what a Blessing you are to my wife and I. I would love to ask for one bit off help. Would you be willing to show us how to sharpen a blade using a stone. I have the most trouble with this. Thanks and God Bless
i made a few vids on sharpening man ; )
Jackloreknives Why won't you get to see those places yourself?
I wanted you to win, but I understand why you left, and I respect your decision.
I have so much respect for all 10 of you guys who did this show's first season. Those weather conditions are TOUGH. Nothing is ever truly dry. Especially tinder or firewood. Long nights, the tide running is a constant clock, ohh and here's 45 extra pounds of stuff for you to lug around that doesn't do anything to improve your day to day situation. And when seconds count in an encounter with a large predator, the people coming to help you might be 4 hours away. I don't have those skills. I don't have the practiced mindfulness to read that environment and discover the things that will be a help to me. Kudos to you all.
Stan Sambey I could kill those bears with my sling shot with a broad head in it. The guy that had the mother and her cubs though, he should of just moved camp.
Practice, practice, and practice some more. In all seasons, in all weather.
I would much rather be in the Australian bush where we have many of the worlds deadliest snakes and spiders rather than having bears, Cougars and wolves as potential threats. Though if you are up North we also have sharks and crocodiles which are highly intelligent and seriously dangerous.
Darryl Machtmes Respect for all 10? Hardly. Of the 10 men out there, 5 were whiny little babies, who had no business being there. One got sick .. but due to his own stupidity and should not have been their either. SIX of those ten people didn't even make it a week. On the show, "Naked and Afraid," after one of the two people was removed, due to illness, a WOMAN, naked, alone, with MUCH LESS survival equipment then those 6 wannabes had, made it 11 days!
The last 4 men on, "Alone," they lasted nearly 2 months and EARNED respect. The man in this video is one of those men, worthy of respect. Let us consider: the whiny little bitch who taps out, after 3 days, because he lost his flint; or to a lying pussy who taps out after 4, because of an imaginary a bear attack; or to a, self-proclaimed "tough guy," who can't even make it 24 hours, leaving in tears. To liken this man, placing him under the same caliber as those, who didn't make it a week, is a disgrace to all he accomplished.
Alleycat 27 I'm not even convinced that guy lost his fire steel. My favorite part was where a Cop can't even last a day, I guess he realized that Mother Nature and it's inhabitants didn't give a damn about his badge.
Watching the show religiously every Thursday night!
Love the show and really respect the fact that Mitch is holding up. As the show goes on
I can realize how being completely "alone" can break you down.
Hoping and praying you make it all the way! But in my books you've already proved that you are the man!
Mitch, I wanted to congratulate you on a job well done. First show in a very long time where the good guys won. I loved most of the guys out there, especially the final four. You made us all proud and I cannot thank you enough for representing yourself the way you did. Hope your mom is well and you got a chance to kiss your lovely wife and that beautiful daughter. Nothing but pride in having been a multi-year subscriber. You did great brother!!
+onebadboy2 Mom passed away recently.
Win or lose, so far you have been the most impressive member of the show. Respect to everyone of yall who attempted this.
cwddockens thanks appreciate it
The show was beautiful and really affected me. I am very grateful that you went on that show and shared what you did. It was incredible and powerful and made me question myself. Thank you, and all the other contestants. Every one of you made that show incredible.
Thanks Mitch. Love your passion for the equipment that your took. You can really tell how much they meant to you. Probably even more now. I remember when you said you were leaving to do the show. I am very happy you returned safe.
Nature Calls ; )
Mitch, first and foremost, Thank you for sharing your faith and letting us see you love your family and miss your daughter and wife. I want to tell you that you are my favorite to win. I am totally impressed with your abilities and enjoy watching you in this series. I sense a little annoyance in your voice. Dont let it eat your lunch, you are a talented survivalist and even though it was ridiculous to count these items separately, you still are alive. I think I could do this, but till I am on the shore and watch the boat pull away, it means nothing. I will always respect you because you stepped out and took the challenge. We love you Mitch and this show is just a passing thing. You have made a name for yourself before this ever came along. Win, lose, or draw, you are still a total badass.
No matter who takes the gold, every Olympian stands tall. Survivalists train to get out of a survival situation, you 10 went the opposite, prolonging it as long as possible, pushing your skills to the limit. You sir, are an Olympian. I have learned a lot from your videos over the years, and of the 10 on the island you were my favorite. Your mindset and spirituality seems to best match my own. I look forward to more great videos from you!
Thank you for sharing your choices Mitch. Very interesting to get your insight on how your thought process worked when planning for this adventure. I am anxiously awaiting this weeks episode to see what goes down with the cougar that came into your camp at the end of last weeks show!
Peace,
Shane
Not usually a fan of too many "TV shows" but this is real stuff right here...You guys filming yourself out there sharing what your really feeling and goin through putting your skills to the test, tryin to live, for different reasons, I feel it! Lot of respect for ya Mitch, since the beginning of this I have a feeling its gonna come down to you and Lucas out there like 60-90 days and if you can survive that long in those conditions and that craziness, that will be somethin...anyway, thanks man, Ive watched a lot of your videos and have learned a lot from them, your a good dude!
Peace
Mitch, you're such a wonderful presence on this show - one that has quickly become one of my favourite TV shows in a long time, I don't watch much of it - Starting to watch your RUclips videos now and they're great! Excellent job out there on the island so far, and wishing you luck in all your future explorations!
Mitch, just started watching Alone & know this video is a few yrs old, just want to say God bless you brother!! A few moments ago I watched Chris' video on his PM101 channel & heard all of what he said from start to finish. Much respect to ya!! 👍👍
i got respect for all the cast to even try it. Mitch your a warrior dude. you made the best decision in the world and kudos for gutting it out so long!
Mitch, Glad to hear about your adventure. Like so many others I drink in the show. Thanks for sharing.
Well said Mitch. I completely understand your choices. Your skill set dictated the level of importance in your selection. Most of the gear choices were the same across the board but each persons strengths and weaknesses changed 2 or 3 items. Very intriguing!
I have to say I got very excited to see that jacklore close up on episode 4. I had just finished watching one of Sandy's shop construction videos prior to the show. I thought how proud it must have made Sandy to see his work on a big internationally renowned show :)
So cool man! Wanted to attend your class on the 24th but had some unexpected expenses arise. Maybe I'll be able to head down 95 for the next one! Take care -Chris
Windham Woodcraft Right on Chris, i hope Sandy saw his blade; theres always other dates on the calendar, ill see you when i see you ; )
later man
I subbed a few months before Alone was even made and I respected your videos but after seeing your tapout episode words can't say it man. I wish you and your family well. Thoughts and prayers go out to your mom. You won that hands down considering your mother's situation drifting around in your head the whole time.
Randal Flagg It was her decision i go, she made me promise she wouldnt be the reason id not go. That was a promise i couldnt keep when i realized my last christmas with her i was gonna miss in a few weeks and a host of other moments. i was terrified id come home to a gravestone, no more hugs, no more smiles. its still gonna happen but i have a little time with her now. i was told to not reply to these types of comments and i havnt until yours. take care
Mitch
+Precious Roy Mom passed away recently., im glad i left.
I'll give it to you Mitch, you actually made it further than we thought. As my wife and I watched we felt like you were struggling but once you got the salmon we realised you'd done a 180 mentally and physically. Congratulations on making it so far mate :)
Very good video Mitch, glad to see you back safe and sound. Thanks for sharing.
you really did amazing on the show. loved the way you thought and processed things. you were a true gift.
I'm glad you made it out okay. I can't wait until you can openly talk about everything you went through to survive that excursion. And I can't wait until you can talk about any changes you would have made, if you had to do it again, or any regrets you might have had.
Thanks for all you've taught us.
Watching the show you come to realize how being really alone works on your mind and breaks down your spirit to continue. I could see it in all the guys and was some out amazed how quickly this happens. Fearing for you personal safety every day is draining and makes you question your decision to participate in the show..
Thanks for the vid Mitch. Easily my favorite show on TV. It's killing me to have to wait a week between shows. Hope you won but either way I'm glad you got home safe to your family.
You were the contestant I voted for Mitch and happy to see you are still there in Episode 8! I really like the calm you have shown...from what I have seen your calmness was the best out of all 10 and speaks very highly of your comfort level in the bush. I also liked Alan's thoughts on dealing with inner demons while alone for extended periods...they just surface and it's just you to deal with them...deal with regrets and the past...I have found that to be so true on my own expeditions. Just a friendly word on the bears and cougars and wolves and this is not directed at you Mitch but the countless people who speak in fear about them.........has anyone else noticed how the remaining 4 contestants don't really speak about these critters anymore? There is a reason for that and I don't think anyone would understand unless they have spent enough time in the bush. Anyway cheers Mitch and thank you for your most excellent youtube channel!
You did really good on the show. Thank for going through all that. It was really good TV. The best outdoor show I've seen all year!
You did good Mitch, us massholes are hard workers and tough people, me and my family were rooting for one of our own, we are all glad to see your doing well and alive (instead of alone) keep up the good work! From westfield ma.
The masshole thing caught my attention. If you're that guy that cut me off I didn't mean it, I was just mad. when it comes down to it we're pulling for Mitch up here in Maine as well.
Thanks for coming on here and showing some of the equipment you used. Keep on surviving brother. Have a great day.
Mitch leaving what would be a huge achievement for his life just to see his mother who was rushed in to the hospital is totally one of the most manliest acts i've ever seen in a reality show. Kudos to you Mitch. Totally love watchin' you in the Alone show and i learned alot from the 10 of you.
+Courièr Rob She passed away recently, glad i left.
Hey Mitch, that mental aspect of the adventure was a big load, right? Goes to show we are social creators and need each other. Love the show. I am excited about tonight's show.
Been watching Alone up till episode 5. I was rooting for Mitch since i've been watching his youtube channel since before the show and knew he had awesome survival skills. My personal opinion is that Mitch has shown tremendous skills from the get go. Mitch had fire in impossible conditions, built a boat out of nothing which blew me away. I was actually clapping! I have never seen that type of flotation device in any other survival show. Impressive! To top it off had found a fresh water stream then caught & roasted 5lbs of fish meat while others were eating slugs!!! My worries started when in episode 4 the MT lion was in area. I know Mitch has great survival skills but i've seen nothing on his channel about how to handle dangerous wildlife. Wasn't sure if that was going to cause him to hit that button. Then I watched episode 5. I predict Mitch is 500k richer unless dangerous wildlife makes it too hazardous. As far as surviving based on pure skill..... food, water, shelter Mitch definable has my vote!
I would like to see more youtube vids that might cover things like dangerous wildlife and other areas that might be of interest based on your experience on the show Alone. Maybe a new take on essential gear or other concerns based on these new experiences.
Thanks for sharing Mitch. I've never been in a place that was so wet that it would mold my boots over night. Amazing stuff. Learning a lot from this show and all the kit info. Looks like you have picked some really good items but not a lot of kit for a long term stay. You have my respect man.
Def praying for you on the show. Everyone seems like descent people but def was pulling for you and joe. Keep up the great work on the show.
Brother you have my respect. You achieved something very very few would even be willing to test themselves with. I can tell you with great reserve that with my physical challenges that the cold alone would have been my undoing. I would love an opportunity to test my knowledge experience and my current handicaps to see if I could still survive and for how long. My fatherly responsibilities won't offer up the time. I love my boy very much. Any ways with God anything is possible. God's speed.
Mitch just want to start off with you did amazingly on alone, and that I was really rooting foe you. I was berry sorry to here that ur mom has cancer and that I hope for the best with you and her thru your hard times. Keep ur head up. You have a fan here sending you good thoughts.
+Derek Spencer Thanks Derek, Mom passed away recently., im glad i left.
Greetings from British Columbia! Thanks for sharing Mitch. this was an interesting review of your kit. I'm rooting for you in the show!
Hey Mr. Mitchell,
I'm really pleased to see you still in the last 4. My hopes are pinned on you for the win sir. You do a great job out there. Of all the 10 ppl you are miles ahead in terms of composure and strategy. I imagine the biggest hardship for you would be missing your family. Without that burden I imagine you would still be out there. Bless ya buddy. I hope to come to the native survival school for a few lessons when I make it back to the northern hemisphere. In the mean time if you feel like coming to New Zealand I'm happy to put you up in my house.
Cheers
Robert
That extreme cold weather army bag is the exact same one I have. Had it over 20 years (since the military, of course) and it's hands' down the warmest bag I've ever had. When I was in Korea, we used that for cold weather training. 10 degrees below zero and you had to sleep overnight with just that and your pad. Works like a charm. So good, in fact, that often I'd bring it with me on long guard duty in the middle of the winter and drape it over me to keep warm.
Hey Mitch, good going so far on the show. I love your choice of items because they are different from mine and your justification on some made me change my mind. Good stuff!
Hi Mitch, I've been following the show and love it. I was wondering if the bivy would be an extra item, thanks for covering that. Your pot lid if polished could make a tremendous parabolic mirror for lighting fires. I've polished several aluminum lids and they work great to light some of last nights charcoal. Stainless steel would be tough to polish but it can be done. Thanks for all you share.
A great selection of items. I just wanted to add some comments:
Survival is about adaptation and you not only adapted to the environment and demonstrated some serious bushcraft/survival skill sets; you adapted to the limits of a TV show as well!! I thought you were going to tap out when the cougar dropped by while you were enjoying some salmon. You didn't, which speaks to your mental fortitude. Simply amazing. I'm learning a lot from watching your channel.
Props to all the guys that took the risk to venture out there and put themselves out there. Not easy at all. That being said, IMO, the show did illuminate the more "advanced" survivalists from the "beginners". This isn't meant as a negative but simply an observation. Anyway, great job and good channel.
You're a good dude Mitch. I'm really liking Alone, which I haven't been able to say for a survival show for a while now. You put out a lot of good information, so thanks. I live in the Ozarks in southwest Missouri, so our environments are a little different, but if you're ever out this way you'll love our forests. Enjoy the outdoors my friend.
NativeSurvival Mitch, thanks for no spoilers! You're my #1 , Lucas #2! Hope it goes well for you and glad you are safe!
-Jesse
Hey Mitch, been busy with life lately so waay behind on following your channel but just wanted to say congratulations for the awesome effort on Alone and the decision of character to return and spend some precious time with your sick mother. That sure brought some tears to my eyes seeing your reunion with her. One of the biggest "untold" stories of this series. And leaving behind your wife and daughter must have been a like supreme sacrifice. Great effort man, you'll have tales to tell for a lifetime!
+Canesser As Lucas said in his return home, "life is better shared, that's really just the reality." Amen, although it is equally important to find that time alone with the Lord and His awesome Creation.
Canesser right on man, your right on.
Excellent choice in items, I'm rooting for you dude, whether you've won or not I think you have the best mindset for long term survival.
Great show Mitch thanks for sharing the items you choose to take with you.
'Alone" wonderful show, we are all respectful for the time each of you sacrificed to be there ...Gd vid THX.
A very well thought out kit. I wouldn't expect any less from you. It's interesting hearing about all the crazy restrictions they put on what you could bring. That definitely makes planning a kit even more difficult than it should be. I'm rooting for you. I can't wait for the next episode.
Hello Mitch, I'm a very big fan of your videos. I'm also from MA and I'm out north Winchendon. Anyways I just wanted to say that I really admire your knowledge of primative native survival... I have learned and gained some great things. Please keep up the good work and God bless you and your family.
You and the rest of the season one guys were at what will come to be a disadvantage from anyone on future seasons of Alone. If they've seen the show, they'll know more of what to expect or what to be prepared for than you guys did. Nevertheless, you guys showed real ingenuity and I admire, not only your skill, but also your passion.
Thanks for sharing Mitch..pulling for you on the show..
oh Mitch. i am so sorry about illness in your family. i havent been able to watch episode but there are spoiler comments on facebook. praying for blessings, healing and peace.
Ive been watching your channel for a while now and when i saw the show Alone, it took me 3 episodes to say "hey i know of him from youtube" lol but, so far really enjoying your method of self reliance in the vancouver island wilderness and ive watched 4 episodes so far. Its easy for people to sit at their computer and say should of done this and that but you never really know until your out there. Great job and keep it up.
Fourteen Days & Four Remaining - If I understand correctly, at 14 days, those remaining didn't have any idea of how many others were also remaining. In most competitions, the competitors know exactly (or very close to it) where they stand in regards to each other. That knowledge can be a light at the end of the tunnel to some degree. Not knowing how many remain, seems to remove that light, so to speak. If most remain, this could go on for months...... If most already gone, each day could be the last day of the challenge. An interesting twist to facing the unknown without any way to gauge how much longer before crossing the theoretical finish line. Definitely a challenge when compared to knowing when a competition will end.
when it's for real, you dont now when it will be over, either. Poor lil wusses that can't even last 2 weeks, dont belong anywhere, being nothing but snowflakes, much less on a survival show.
I enjoyed the show a great deal. All you in the final four impressed me a great deal and I knew it was going to come down to mental endurance with all of you because your survival skills were sound. You did extremely well.
+3640timm thanks, fyi i was Top 3.
Haha, big difference between third and fourth place, I hear you. I'm giving credit to all of you.
+3640timm except the cop who wussied out after the first night... What an embarrassment....
Ninja 87 I was referring to the final four. Over fifty days in solitude, cold and hungry that's impressive.
+NativeSurvival You did a great job Mitch! You definitely stood out and proved yourself.
Hey Mitch! Just watched episode 6 and was glad to see you were still hanging in there. I completely agree with your opinion on clam chowder, the red stuff ain't chowder, it's tomato soup with clams in it!
Huge props Mitch. I'm an island girl and know all too well the conditions you faced. I do have a big beef with the show's producers for not having rescue/ first aid closer by, or at least hire some locals with guns just in case. It's a tragic accident waiting to happen imo. Newly subbed.
We are all rooting for Mitch on Alone. Fellow Massachusetts man!
bloodyeyeful Right on ; )
Not letting you have the cover for your sleeping bag was HARSH. How many sleeping bags come with a waterproof covering fully attached? Also surprised you couldn't have bankline. I thought charring that material was brilliant. I've seen you and others use this method, but I never would've thought of it in that situation. For some reason I associate it with bowdrills, steel and flint rock
Thanks Mitch. Thanks for doing the show, thanks for all your videos. No idea how the show will turn out, who will win, etc. Not important really. I am pulling for you but more importantly, I appreciate your sharing the experience. I have learned a lot from you.
Were hoping you won Mitch.. All the best..
Thanks for sharing. The suspense is killing me. You totally rock.
I wasn't not a subscriber to your channel but I recognised you from youtube when I saw you on the show. it's been great watching you out there. cool to see you doing videos on the show, it's great to hear you explain why you'd pick certain items it gives a lot of insight. thanks.
Mitch - much respect. I wouldn't have lasted a night out there. Especially with the bears and all. Good to see that there are still people who practice the things our ancestors knew how to do. Every human should know how to do this stuff. Been a subscriber for a while and enjoy your videos. God bless you and your family. Hope you win bro!
Been watching you on here for long time, and I'm pulling for you still on the show. Good gear selection
Im not going to bombard you with a bunch of questions here...I'll just watch your videos and listen to your responses to others questions. Just want you to know I have never enjoyed watching a show as much as this one....I thought you did a great job! Would love to sit down for a cup of coffee with you sometimes. I bet you have some great stories!! ps......I thought I was a pretty good outdoors guy but all you guys impressed the hell out of me!
+SNS Pro Audio Visual right on ; )
i was really impressed at the shows start, first one to get a fire started, first one to catch a fish..still pulling for you to win..hell of an outdoorsman either way
I have had the same U.S. Army extreme cold weather sleeping bag for 35 years and love it. If I could pick only one piece of gear, it would be that.
Thanks for all your videos you are awesome always learning
Hello, I wanted to express the same as Bordercollie did - I have been getting a lot from your videos, getting ready to do some small scale outings and discovered your adventure on ALONE just yesterday. I am not through the episodes yet so as of typing this I don't know the official winner is but as far as I'm concerned I've learned the most from you. My wife came up with names for everyone and your's is "The smart guy" - I agree. Don't know if I could endure that much time out there. Maybe one day I'll find out. Just got to the part where the net was missing.. Anyway - Just wanted to say hello and thanks for all the great videos!!
Awesome kit! Great compromise of functionality and what you actually needed vs what some of the others took.
Thanks for sharing. The show is great and I'm really enjoying watching you and all the guys deal with the challenges of primitive living.
Great choices Mitch. I think you did great out there! I totally get why you left when you did, I would have done the same thing. In the end, you were a winner too! All the best, Dawn
+SouthPaw Bushcraft Thanks Dawn, take care and thanks for all the comments you always leave, their appreciated.
thanks for posting this Mitch. loving the show so far
Never knew that was you on Alone... Was just watching a few of your videos as I stumbled on to your channel
43 days... much respect there. That show looked brutal. Vancouver Island also looked WET. Just rotten with a cold, humid, constant rain.
Interesting video. Great show and tell. I agree with your choices. Can always store water in your pot. Solid tools, solid sleep system. When I was in the Yukon traveling by canoe [in the fall] I kept my sleeping bag in its own dry bag attached to me at all times - because if the canoe flipped - the sleeping bag would have saved my life after I swam to shore.
Keep up the good videos.
Great job Mitch, you were awesome man.
my hats off to you, win lose or draw
Great choices bud. I'm no Good with a net so that was the one I wasn't sure about but you put that right to work for you. Looking forward to the next show.
Great video. I think I sensed a reverence you had for some of these items. They served you well.
DannoCrutch thanks Danno, indeed things feel different in life now after living in the woods, including the items that shared the time with me, they and the memories are one.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and Items,good tip on the Nagura,thanks.The Bivi had to be one with the Sleepingbag like the Bow with the Arrows,anyway you did a great job so far.Take care and rock on. Falko
bushfalke thanks Falko
I love the repeat.. my knife... my knife. Props on the sharpening stone. Its like having an ice axe with out crampons. It just doesn't sense to have one with out the other.
I was pulling for you after watching the first episode. I love this show!!
Hi, Mitch Congratulations on being part of such an awesome show, looking forward to when you can a more in depth conversation on your experiences... also you mentioned you made mods to your bow.. how about a video of why you chose the montana longbow and how you made it better... Thank You for sharing your skills.
TBOR101 made that vid already ; )
I don't usually frequent the comment section but I'm so enthralled with this show and everyone's experiences, I wanted to check your feelings a little if I may.
First of all, major respect to you and every other participant for landing out there and even more for what you've endured; I can't begin to imagine it and your skills and spirit are both humbling (that's an understatement). That said, I was wondering if you're watching the show as it goes on - I can absolutely see it being an experience you aren't ready to see in a third person. If you are, I'm curious how your feelings on some of your experiences have been affected compared to the moment you were in them; did they mostly stay the same or did you feel differently upon seeing what everyone else was experiencing at the time?
I know that it's already done and we're all just waiting to see it, but I'm cheering you on nonetheless!
I am glad I watched this, it took some big ones to do this. I have to watch this now, the crazy thing is last weekend I bought a mother ship from a yard sale for $5.00 I could not leave fast enough. I think it is older and maybe just down but it is really nice and heavy. Glad you made it man. I am subbing thnx
Just caught this show on Prime. You are a legend.
yupper the knife and stone are important and the sleeping bag is a huge bonus as well so far great show ant wait till the end to see the out come
Hi Mitch.... I was so touched by this weeks show, to bad you missed your little ones birthday but I bet you made up for it in a big way when you got home, Sooooo proud of you, great selection of gear and thanks for sharing the reasons behind it too, you guys are teaching us so much!!!!! good to here you put your faith in our heavenly father as well..Blessings and Take Care
karenchakey Thanks Karen ; )
God Bless
karenchakey Ditto Karen! I am amazed at your candidness Mitch and i was glad to see your heartfelt prayers to God before you ate your fish even though I know you were starving. Kudos! Also glad to see you explain your reasoning on the items you chose.
Great vid Mitch. Explained a few things to me that I wasn't aware of.
Great job man . You guys all did great
Hi Mitch,
I've only been aware of the Alone series just recently. Been watching Season 1.
You were one of the few that I knew on the show.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Kudos to all you guys and what you experienced.
Thanks for sharing
Cheers
ShazBoo
Mitch
I have been a long time sub to your channel.. I never even considered watching the show till I seen a commercial and seen you were there, That's when I knew they had picked some real experts for this adventure. I went back and watched every episode from start. That being said I'm from Ga. so i had picked my 2 favorites very fast and which ever one of the 2 it would be I was going to be happy. A little more in to the show ALL of you guys took on a challenge that was unbelievable. Respect for all on the show but bud with what you were carrying no amount of money can buy time. If I had a million dollars rite now I would give it for 1 day with my dad that is gone now. I respect everything you done on the show, Really you were the only one that didn't tap so far because of a animal and you had a cat wanting you!!! You showed you could handle everything that place had and like I said I was a fan before but man I see you in a new lite. I hope you and yours the best in your future adventures and always remember your a champ to me.... Peace brother
+Danny Harrison Thanks Danny
I love the show! I thought you were done after that cougar encounter. Way to stick in there! I hope you were the last one standing!
all kinds of crap washes to shore.. All of you were winners..Tks for the video
Congrats man. That is one damp, shady, north facing spot. The producers did a good job of showing how much it rains here on the outer coast.
Awachalto reserve on forward inlet has a lot of clams and not much else to eat in November. Glad to see that you managed to harvest salmon from the aptly named Bear Creek.The little island out front that you may have been able to reach on a low tide is covered in crab apple trees. Some of them might not have rotted yet. Of the final four of you, your reserve was definitely the poorest in food potential.
Again congrats for toughing it out for so long.
Island Boy Yeah, tough spot.
Hey Mitch,
I was rooting for you the whole time. Great Pot. I like the raccoon! Seems like you guys get a lot of slack from people and a lot of questions. Stay positive. I've learned from your videos.
That coracle you made was brilliant.
bloodgout thanks
Good job on the show Mitch..I learned a lot..Thank's so much.. Can you talk more about the clothing and boots you chose?
Do you mind me asking what other items you were aloud Mitch that wasn't on the 10 items list, noticed you had headtorches etc?
Hey Mitch, I've read through every comment so far and did not see these asked yet: In retrospect, would you opt for the exact same knife in stainless vs the carbon you had? All that salt water... Also wondering what was provided for first aid training and/or gear.
My other questions were already answered: fishing line weight, headlamps, and of course the tarps. lol
Big fan of your channel; great work on the show; best wishes! I'm heading to Port Hardy for a salmon fishing trip next month. Your Coho catch got me pretty excited for the trip! :-)
