Naked Survival

[welderguy]

Hahaha, I'm far from desperate. It's just something that is done up here.

Last time I went on a nude nature walk, it didnt turn out so well... Apperantly you have to wear cloths when your at the Zoo!!!!

Well, Bear's already done it a dozen times. The self-enema on the raft was just WWWWWWAAAAAAAYYYYY too much information!!!! I may have to hide my innocent little eyes until Hunter scopes it out and reports back

So why is it always a guy doing this kind of show,, Why couldnt it be Ruth, or shotgun girl from WT's video post!!!!!!

....or Penny from Big Bang Theory or Krystal from American Hoggers? Any other suggestions?

Pfft surviving nekkid on fiji, try getting nekkid with the wife! now that's a challenge. But I vote Elizabeth hurley, if no rule then Young elizabeth hurley or Catherine Zeta Jones. Heck they can even have Bear grylls along as a guide making urine cosmos every show and I'd still watch it.

It seemed like a pretty good show, though I've not watched all of the episode yet. You can't accuse him of cheating anyways. 60 days, by himself, filming himself like Les Stroud, and taking nothing with him, not even a knife.

I auditioned for it but found out pretty quickly you can get sand in places you don't want to have sand in. I quite.

I have looked up info on Naked Survival and have seen film clips about Naked Survival on a small island in Fiji. It seems that the man is learning to do things that any villager in Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tahiti and similar places can do on a daily basis, and he is learning as an adult what the Pacific Islanders know when they are ten years old.

As a Peace Corps volunteer in Western Samoa, I lived and worked with a Samoan family that knew how to survive in the tropical island environment. Any of them could have survived well in the locality shown, without the drama of making mistakes and not knowing what foods to eat or how to husk a coconut. The show seems interesting but a little inappropriate. No Samoan would be caught without a bush knife or would be unable to improvise a substitute; no Samoan would have difficulty making fire under the conditions shown or would be unable to obtain seafood.

The biggest similarity I saw to Bear was his propensity to drink unboiled water (yes, I saw it coming out of the rock) and eat raw critters. No wonder he got sick! Wonder why he didn't follow those goats to more water? And...was it foul for him to take a camera lens and use it to start a fire or he had to do it with "natural" materials? At least he made himself a hong!!!

I think the naked part is just to increase viewer numbers. For some reason when people hear naked, they think it is automatically going to be interesting. Well we all know that isn't true, because it always depends on who's naked!

Just imagine, Susan Boyle naked

Now imagine Hunter naked

Now imagine Megan Fox naked, now that gets me excited!

Amazing that the "Bare" essentials shows that one CAN make their way, if (this is a BIG "IF") they have the needed knowledge to sustain one's life with nothing but your bare ***! Thank you for the post.

.................
Now imagine Hunter naked ..............

What you been peeking?........
I generally save that to scare the bears....get it?............ bares, or beers.....

Anyway, I thinking it just to show you don't need all the gear,....start for scratch....Get it?..... scratch.....?
Haven't caught the last episode yet.....

[crashdive123]

Last night they ran all of the episodes (3?). It was an entertaining show. Seems that after water, his biggest challenge was psychological.

[Sarge47]

I tuned out after a minute, I mean it's about a naked GUY Where's the interest in that? Now if it were Karen Hood or Ruth Hawke, well then they got a show, right? This guy appears on here like Bear Grylls father! He's got the requisite UK accent complete with military history...apparently they never gave him a uniform though. He said he was going to survive for 60 days. Without even the clothes on his back! What's up with that? We don't get to wear clothes now? And hows he going to market survival clothes like Bear does? I'd love to say more but I couldn't take it.....

Would somebody 'splain to me why he never set a snare for one of those goats? Or why he didn't set up rain collection systems a long time ago? Or WHY he left the cave for a hooch? I do give him credit for staying out of shark infested waters, though.

Here's my take...
1. Initially food wasn't his priority and until he had fire he did not want to catch a goat.
2. I think it rained very little initially IIRC. He may have been over confident initially with the green coconuts and the wick that he set up.
3. I think the shelter he built had a lot to do with a psychological boost. He wanted to see if he could thrive on the island, so the construction seemed like sort of a morale booster.

[Wildthang]

The cave was in the wind and he said it was cold in there when it rained. I sure would have been after one of those goats a lot sooner! He just got lucky when he finally did get the goat!
