Well if you chopped for 6 hours a day, every day for a month, I'd wager you'd be fine

I agree^^

You will be an expert axe swinger after a short while. Safety first....And as demonstrated this season always walk with it in its scabbard/sheath.

As for the bow, I am in beginner lessons and you will be shooting in minutes, relatively confident in close range shots landing in the "neighbourhood" of where you are aiming within hours....and besides, when will you ever have so much time to practice other than when on this show?

Sign me up for a location without poisonous animals....Or ticks.

Doesn't New Zealand have herds of wild cattle and feral goats?

Considering everything, I'd be willing to take on a lion with a few dozen ticks on for $50 at this point

As for axe use, have you seen the cord wood axe challenge?

So where can I sign up to get a vacation from the idiots around me? Those cougars and bears on the show somehow seem more agreeable

Did you have a tough day at work?

I want to be hired by the State of Texas to hunt the Wild Hog professionally.

I don't fully understand the hog problem though. Why wouldn't all of the ranchers that are having problems get organized and begin a eradication program to reduce the population on their range?

Yup, tough day at work. And then found out that someone cost me 30k, so the day got a bit tougher

I have watched a few Hog hunting videos. It looks like a great time. An outfitter that I know baits bears with popcorn. He has a large popper like at a movie theater and takes garbage bags full of it out to the bush. It smells great and the bears hang around to eat it and it takes a long time to eat. Hogs would likely love it too. You could have a nibble too if you get peckish.

It's my local currency but still a lot. If it were in US dollars, someone's head would go missing as the exchange rate is over 6 (so it would be over 180k)

In US$ that would be just short of 2 years' salary.

If I can win Alone I can retire wastefully   :cheers:

All questions on that front would be answered if you knew where you were going, but I kinda doubt a multitool would be on my list [ducks&runs]  :rofl:

I'm hesitant about my abilities in a cold environment, I've never seen snow, except maybe from a distance on a mountain top, and that would've been on a visit to South Africa.

I walk through or roll in poison ivy without even knowing.

I would be more at home in a dry environment, but I wouldn't want to go if water was an issue  :rofl:

Simple fact is if they don't pay some kind of salary from the beginning I couldn't afford to even try.

lol, if they pay a salary while you are out that is nice. You wouldn't want to be dropped off somewhere ridiculous in a "bad" season. Ie mosquito season, hurricane season, monsoon season, deep freeze, extreme heat, drought etc.

if it can't kill you or cause serious harm, it ain't worth doing. that's why we drink a few bottles of whiskey and bet that we can jump over a car, chase after women that would stab us for one wrong look and do pretty much everything else.

Actually, tonight, Thursday 6/08, at 10P, is the selection show after the season premiere of Mountain Men.

Loved ones, I thought it would be more interesting with strangers like the last season of Amazing Race.
