Which season are you watching, boss? If I remember correctly, participants were allowed 2 items in the latest season. The show is staged though, emphasizing so much about drama, with very survival lesson value. Discovery used to have something worth watching. Nowadays, it is following the reality train wreck. Real shame.I feel like the show when it started wasn't scripted, it was decent. Now it is absoloute dog smurf how bad it's got. I always thought the idea was crazy enough to work. And I thought they either all got a knife and one additional item or something to that effect. Seems to be the way it worked out.
Back to the question, for two people in a jungles with water source, I feel mosquito nest is a useful item to have. Other is a blade by default.
One first aid kit please.Show contentContents would be two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.Show content:facepalm:

We are just a few episodes into Season 2.Sounds like a true expert :tu:
We just watched the episode with the guy who grabbed the super poisonous snake with his bare hands then ate a toxic mushroom. ::)

I watched an episode today where the woman claimed to be a witch, and rather than do anything useful she spent her time weaving pentagrams and headbands while complaining that the guy wasn't doing enough. :facepalm:

Most people on that shows are rather survival enthusiasts instead of experts :P I have a theory that some were picked because the possibility of them failing is high, like that witch, or another model-wannabe spoiled chic. Some were picked for the negativity they will bring to the team, like that Alana woman.
Not having seen it, what knife to they give them?
I probably would choose a book on edible plants.
Probably the only goal of shows like these is to up the ratings (why else the "naked" element?).
If you need information, go see Ray Mears.
PS to survive 21 days, the best thing to take with you might well be a giant pizza. :D

:rofl:
Now that sounds like a fun episode. Maybe I quit it too early.

I think the contestants pick the knives they bring. Most bring a good sized knife- or a small machete, although I have seen a couple of people bring axes too.
One woman pulled out a Tom Brown Tracker that was fairly well used already from the looks of it.
Def
Not a bad idea. :tu: Being a vegetarian who eats, roots shoots and leaves I could bring that and a box of condoms...

Yeah, I was a bit surprised at how useless she was. She kept saying things like "If my husband was here we'd have meat on the table long before now."Or they hunted in groups, trapping animals in a corner.
She sounded totally self sufficient.... ::)
I have a bit of a laugh at many of the guys that go on the show that are hunters. They always have this great history of hunting, and their photo at the beginning is often them posing with a wild boar they have killed or something similar.... which is great, but they forget one key item that they have always had while hunting and don't have now- their guns.
I don't care how many times you have successfully hunted in life with a rifle or shotgun, you can't count on those skills when you no longer have the ability to take down large prey at a distance. The game changes greatly when you don't have a gun... or crossbow, compound bow or even a recurve. When you don't have the ability to strike a target at a distance, hunting is very difficult, if not impossible. Before distance weapons, humans used to hunt by running prey down until they were exhausted, then finishing them off, but we, as a species, don't have that level of endurance anymore.
We often wonder while watching the show why more people aren't trapping and snaring animals, and the few that do are only setting one or two traps when they really need to set at least ten to twelve. :facepalm: :facepalm:
