That is the stuff of nightmares...

Anyway the first episode did show a lot of what is to come and I agree with Aloha - might have been a bit too much

The second episode had a few interesting parts. The most disappointing thing thus far is that Discovery hasn't put out the gear videos yet

Second episode was interesting.  That hike is pretty tough.  I'm alway a little surprised at how clumsy people are.  I'm not saying I'm particularly nimble but I tend to be quite deliberate in my actions.

Holding a camera and filming might make the difference

Yes I very much agree and thought about that.  I could have swore I saw GoPro attachments.   I guess as I've gotten older I've become very deliberate in my actions.  I know a fall these day would probably be a hip needing replacement  :whistle:

Still they could have put 'em out  :rofl: :rofl:

Since I watch it online in that gray area, I got no idea which channel is which

I haven't watched any of this season's episodes yet. Is it worth watching?

To me it has been interesting.  The team aspect, with them starting at different points, truly highlights the terrain differences of Vancouver Island's northern local as compared to the settings used for season 1 & 2. 

Already down to 5 teams, I would speculate that if you started watching with episode 3, they will catch you up and then decide If ep 1 & 2 are worth your time.

As Loops said. Or go back to back with episodes 1 and 2 as they can get a bit lackluster

Agreed, the hikers have a bad deal, yet the tap outs are camp setters. 
1st was an hour for drop point looking for a flat spot. 
2nd was not prepare for near proximity of bears. 

Mental prep is all important and young-ins were not.

The younger guys on the show are generally only a few years younger than I am (few exceptions though) and I don't understand get it. You know it won't be easy hiking, you know there are wild animals around (hell I don't trust most domestic animals since it really depends on the owner) so how does all of that overwhelm you if you have the experience you claim to have

The campers that tapped kinda surprised me too.  The bear situation was scary but get thru the night and move your camp in the morning.  He might have made camp right in the middle of a well used bear path is all. 

The sprained ankle is a bummer but he also seemed to be a bit overwhelmed. 

Those hikers certainly are slogging thru some stuff. 

I have to say I'm enjoying this season so far.

The big difference is that with this hiking part it seems slower. But I'm guessing it will pick up fast when the teams are reunited.

Also, how awesome is that woman? Few days in and she has a fireplace. Give her 2 weeks and she'd probably go nuts over choosing drapes for her 2 story house with a basement gym, 2 car garage and outdoor hot tub

Yes, she does appeared to be the most settled
However, she has fire, but I have seen her drinking water from the stream and again just drinking from her coffee pot without video of her boiling.
Also, have not seen her eat much other than some fungus she gathered day one or two.  If she did eat?
If edited out then bad on producers from showing the complete experience.

She certainly seems to be settled in.  I would think they ( Alone ) would show her sterilizing her water.  She has had 2 encounters with a wolf.  I would hope she hasn't set up camp in their immediate area.  I was a little worried she went to investigate after seeing it as she laid in the sun. 

I always wondered if anyone on Alone peed around their campsite to "mark" their territory?  Of if it would even matter?

Yes, that woman is great. Her husband is a lucky man.

Eat those wolves, easier to kill than a bear.

Do we know if it works in general? With all the rain, maybe it would work better or maybe it wouldn't stay long

I haven't heard about it working as a deterrent.

I have heard about "man hunt" stories and tracking a fugitive. The area was well covered with scent due to the amount of time the fugitive spent in bush that tracking hounds wouldn't work.

I really like her fireplace.  Well thought out construction with mud as an insulator.
