As this is the official gbs alone thread, I need to offer up my opinions on what I’ve seen of season 1 so far. I totally would have quit the moment I heard a bear growl on the other side of a thin tarp in the middle of the night . That’s freaking terrifying. Great show though. I love the guy that starts thinking mice are good eats and spends all that time making traps for them. When he first showed up on the show I thought he was going out instantly, he looks like he spent his whole life on a couch playing video games. I felt a goon connection with him while watching his scenes. But he’s lasting way longer than I ever would have.

With how much they mention that small game trapping will protein starve you it really seems like the best bet is to get to fishing and stock up as much as you can.

I think I’d do a pretty good on alone since I’m a geology major. I have a pretty good idea which rocks to eat in order to kill myself when I see a bear

Yeah at first my wife and I were like "lol another redneck who can't handle not having a gun" but as the season went on, that contestant (Alan) is seriously impressive as a person. He is clearly an intelligent, learned man with a lot going on upstairs. How many people do you know who can recite a poem- any poem- line for line, stanza for stanza, with not having seen the poem in writing for minimum like a month? Not capable of remembering a poem, actually knows one in their head right now. I'd love to eat a meal with that guy.

One of the big takeaways of Alone imo is that you really need to be able to entertain yourself. I was super glad he won. He hosted one or two of the reunion shows -- I thought that was great, and I'm mad they got some doofus in a flannel shirt to take over that job e: I googled him and he's a truther, whoops Anne Whateley fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Feb 21, 2021 |

Id like to see a season where it's a bunch of mooks who know nothing about survival. But they have a radio that links them to a survival expert/special forces/bear grills etc who have to keep their guy surviving the longest and keep them from freaking out and calling for a trip home.

Season 8 Alone is at Everest base camp and the contestants can win the half million immediately by summiting with no oxygen or they can try and win by lasting the longest drinking melted pee snow at base camp.

I always wonder how real those shows with survival experts are. I'd like to see a 'celeberity' version of Alone with people like Bear Grylls and Ed stafford and see if they can actually do what they claim.

Survivorman was just him starving himself for 7 days a lot of the time and Bear Grylls is fake down to not even sleeping outside a lot of the time. Theres a slot canyon episode that's just him doing popular hikes in Zion and pretending he's in some desolate area.

I noticed on Season Six that some people really lose the luck of the position draw. Sorry you got endangered Fox problems lady, welp. Edit: I'm surprised they're allowed to continue trapping after an endangered species pops up near the camp.

I’ve just watched season one (thanks for the peer pressure, Goons) and I feel there is so much luck based on starting location. Do you get a beach or a swamp? Do you get a nice big fish filled river, or just a brackish inlet? The guys that did well also seemed to have no encounters with bears/cougars/wolves. Maybe they were unphased and didn't film it?

The lottery of starting location seems to play a large part. I hope the later seasons correct for this. No ones gonna have a good time landing right in the middle of a mama bear with two cubs territory. Edit: to be fair it also looked like the people who had encounters with bears and cougars also didn’t know you aren’t supposed to clean your catch, cook it, and eat it all at your campsite Lord Decimus Barnacle fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Feb 21, 2021 |

Platystemon posted:Season 3 was depressing because the last several episodes are just people complaining about starving and inching toward medical disqualification. Yeah, I just finished that season and it seems like it was the most random of all the results because they were all hurdling toward having to be pulled out and the winner just happened to get there slower also he started a lot bigger and probably had a huge advantage because of it. Everyone that season pushed themselves really really hard.
