Can you imagine the rage from the mountaineering community if someone just *stepped* off of a hot air balloon onto the summit, planted the flag, and hosed off?

A guy did that with a helicopter a decade or two ago; minus the flag-planting...or the stepping out. But the skids did touch the summit.

Over here we have This dude who may be "only" a measly 5k tall, but recently has been throwing up a bunch of ash as if to remind everyone it's very alive and well. Someone earlier in the thread posted 'First X to dive into the summit' and I was reminded of its recent activity, I was gonna look for a drone video the army took recently to show the inside of the crater, but found this instead. It dovetails into the topics of the thread nicely: Yeah imagine climbing an active VOLCANO, no biggie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIq_xUmuqSk

Was that Outlast? I found that unpleasant to watch. I spoiled it for myself so I didn't have to finish it. I hated the team of 2 women and one guy who stole the sleeping bags and acted like arseholes. I mean they were technically right, there were no rules, but gently caress them for that move. I'm glad they lost.

I'm glad they lost. They just pulled an audible and started wrecking poo poo while most of the crew was off scouting a location for a challenge. The production had to go along with it. The damage was done. I’m not putting this in spoiler tags because no one should watch this show.

Nothing will top the episode of Naked and Afraid where the lady feels sick, poops in their primary water supply over her partner's objections, then all the fish and other critters in the water DIE, to her utter bafflement.

On one hand it was an interesting variation on the genre, but yeah it immediately transformed the incentives, and like why wouldn't you just smash everybody else's poo poo at that point?

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Production shut down everything for a day to discuss the incident. We all had to stay in our camps and there was no filming that day. I think after Jill and Amber caused everyone to get detention... They realized that they were being a little too insane for TV. 😐

I don't think she pooped in the spring. She had diarrhea and then washed her rear end in the spring. Still insane, but not quite as insane as pooping directly in the water. Yeah, I found a reddit video, but I don't know how to repost those so https://www.reddit.com/r/nakedandafraid/comments/mkv90y/when_your_survival_item_should_have_been_a_diaper/

I think the fish died because she kicked up a bunch of sediment while washing her diarrhea rear end and the fish couldn't handle that.

Have any of you watched Alone Australia? I loved it. There’s a dude who’s all “IM AN ALPHA MALE” who taps out on day 2. There is a super badass woman who brought a possum coat and a salt block and has an amazing incredibly tragic story, and I’m going to one of her workshops in two weeks. Can’t wait.

Coat made of possums, or for possums?

A block made of salt, or lotion you rub on your skin that protects you from salt?

A coat made of possums (better than a sleeping bag), and a block of salt (for eating). I’d never seen someone chose salt as one of their items on Alone, but I think it was one of the best items anyone had.

Thanks for the tip! Watching now. That land looks so *deeply* unfriendly. Mud and moss and cold water. e: Aww that one lady is freaking herself out so efficiently. At least she's honest about it though. HopperUK fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jun 18, 2023 |

Worst season of Alone so far, I reckon. Not really much in the way of construction or positivity, just a bunch of whinging about coldness, the austerity of the environment, and a squeaky Dave Hughes analogue talking about his PTSD. I've always wanted to see a season set here, but in the hot outback - set it apart a bit, and give the rest of the world a chance to see something different (people flopped spread-eagled in dugouts drinking water during the day, collecting water, chasing Eastern Browns with sticks).
