I love the show as well. Don’t know how they do it. The bugs would cause me to tap after one night. That old dog EJ is a beast! Guy almost gets his nuts torn off and just gets patched up and carries on his merry way. [Reply]

Apparently pretty uncomfortable for the crew too.
I have heard that this is real, yes a couple of hours by car,plane or chopper.
SO right outside the city sure, but that's not like outside Kansas city. No lions there. [Reply]

They brought her back on one of those XL seasons where she had a larger group and, predictably, she melted down again. This time, on her way to tapping out, she grabbed some of their supplies and tossed them in a nearby body of water lol
Just a total ****ing nutjob. I couldn't believe how crazy and spiteful she was.
Cue the women vs. men survival video where the women would have died within a week but the dudes all fell into line and worked towards survival.

ok, I am going to start watching this.
I am learning a lot about hunting, firing making, traps. Some really cools shit.
I live in a wooded area and when they do something on tv, I give it a shot and see if I can do it.
So far, I have been able to start a fire with wood, I have made a working bird trap, not had a chance to try the fish trap. Too far from water. [Reply]
Watched quite a bit of it, several xl challenges and loads of regular episodes. Generally enjoy it, however, lately it seems more scripted than real though [Reply]
