Pretty sure they all receive an "income" while they're out.  As far as children and such  :think:.

Sweet. That would be great.

I'm guessing they get something for being on the show even if they don't finish, but I'm not certain it would be enough to allow one to quit their day job.

David was lucky he didn't smurf his knees bad. Given a bit more time I think the lack of food would have made him do something bad enough to take him out. He'd already gone half way in the water once.

The one thing I thought could take down Jose did it. He was really reefing on that gill net, and the tippy kayak just wasn't up for it. Had he had Mike's Barge I reckon he'd have been fine. Given his location he did remarkably well. I was wondering why with such small floats on his outriggers that he put them so close to the hull. Longer outriggers would have given a bit more stability, but would have cut down maneuverability. Also he'd left himself no contingency if he went in by wearing all of his warm clothing. Did he have a fire going back at camp? My guess is probably not. He was so quick to hit the button once he got out. Must have really shocked him, that water would have been bitterly cold.

Never did see that wolf on the beach from the opening or closing segment, did anyone else?

Larry really rode the roller coaster, I thought he was going to tap earlier but gritted it out for a bit longer.

Mary Kate cut through one of the tendons and only has limited use of the thumb now, man that is such a cringe worthy bit of footage every time I see it. Really serves as a reminder to not put bits of yourself in the line of fire.

Change of location is going to be very interesting for season 3!

Never did see the wolf either. Kind of annoyed that they would tease us with something like that and then not show it.

Callie North is off to a good start. While I was watching she caught two Rainbow Trout.

So,

They have Trout to catch and Wild Boar to hunt. Tasty options.

And Puma aka Mountain Lion aka Cougar aka Panther aka trouble to contend with.

We have Mountain Lions in our mountains as well.  They are pretty amazing animals and impressive in size as well.  Being ambush hunters they'll certainly not know they were being stalked until it pounced on them.  I'd be like the guy who wore the "eyes" on the back of his hat.  I don't know how effective that is but it seemed like a good idea.     

I'd also be trying to figure out how to trap and kill one of those hogs.

How to kill a hog with the given resources? Spear. Big spear. Or dart from an atlatl, maybe a few arrows too.
How to trap a hog securely enough to kill it is the issue I wouldn't want to be solving in that situation. Maybe if one were to focus on smaller hogs rather than the large ones...

I wasn't aware how big they can get.  I wouldn't want a pissed off hog in a "trap" while I was trying to kill it getting loose.

depends on the subspecies. 600lbs is big.

had a similar talk about deer recently too. locally we have one species of deer that is about as big as a goat and your run of the mill red deer. but due to some words being used incorrectly most people think that the goat sized female is the proper term for a red deer doe

I've been enjoying this new season. Patagonia seems legit. I love seeing  the different strategies each person takes. One of the most interesting aspects for me, is seeing the 10 items each person chooses and how they adapt to the surroundings to use them.

Watching the last episode I saw Fowler using what looked like a Vic Spirit. And I really like his little shovel/ax combo tool. I think it's a cold steel.
Interesting enough he is the only one that opted for not having fixed blade knife but rather a multitool.  No one else this reason carried a multitool at all.
So I guess if he does well that could bode well for the use of multitool in survival situations.

Me and names...... :facepalm:

I find this third season very interesting so far because it seems the contestants have learned from the previous seasons and there's more strategy involved.

One of the early departures really made me wonder why he went in the first place......

The big guy's take-it-easy approach is interesting, for me personally because that would be the best strategy for me as well, and I want to see how it works out for him.

Looks like they might stay out a bit longer this time round, and if I had to place a bet at this stage it would be on the hippie chick  8)

Wouldn't need to, but if I was going on Alone, I would study and practice primitive and hand-line fishing methods  :whistle:

I was wondering where are their nets?  We saw last season many had gill nets and were very successful early on.  I'm not surprised anymore when someone leave "early".  I also feel these contestants have learned a lot from previous seasons.

I'm just now looking at the videos of each constestants 10 items.

Interesting that Fowler didnt bring a fixed blade.  He did bring a Swisstool Spirit tho.

Zach seems to have made a fat wood handle for his ferro rod.  Not sure if that made it out with him.  Good idea tho.

Dave made a neat ferro rod holder which looks like fat wood.  I am really wondering if this made it out with him.

I am digging this season too. Really like the herbalist lady so far but we will see what happens with her health. I too am surprised at their fishing techniques. why don't they each have 20 lines set and smoke the fillets and get by on organs and fish head soup? Getting a boar would be awesome too..... Again since it is TV, there is likely much left out.

As I am putting my stuff on eBay I was thinking why wouldn't they take a Victorinox Swisschamp and an axe? Think of everything you could do with the Parcel Hook!!

I'm wondering the same thing, and some of their techniques...... :think:

The battle to trap the fox was quite entertaining  :rofl:

I watch it every week. And go to the web site occasionally. Some of the tools they took, I wouldn't even consider taking.

And some brands return every season because they really work

It's been an interesting season yet again.  The big guy ( Dan ) leaving was a bit of a shock, mostly because he seemed to be quite certain just a day before on his strategy.  I get it tho as he hadn't thought about his family as intensely. 

Greg sure did have a battle with that fox  :rofl:.  I was routing for him but I guess they don't call the fox "sly" for nothing. 

Carleigh and Callie are some persistent ladies.  Callie's spider bites really don't look too good. 

Its been another really good season.

I am snuggling up into bed and getting ready to watch Alone. Just ate the last 5 Christmas cookies too. Will the contestants have any meals this week?
