Naked and Afraid....show

[Enigma]

Bump:

I would like to see 2 very skilled survivalist take on this challenge just once.
I mean extremely skilled. Love to see if they would not only survive but thrive.

of course they would, but the show (from what I have read) is to entertain millions of couch potatoes, who never set foot in the outdoors, by showing ordinary people, with a few outdoor skills fail dismally. You also have to remember, in some countries, local laws prohibit killing certain things, so there go's 90% of your possible protein sources for a TV show. Imagine seeing an Aussie 'naked and afraid' where wallabies are killed and eaten, or snakes or goannas etc. You'd get a jail term for that, unless you had black skin.(Abo)

yet that is the sort of easy pickings a person with half a brain could be eating in a REAL survival situation. Down this way, we are not even allowed to interfere with native roadkill, even if you see a Kangaroo freshly hit by a car. Fortunatly, most bushies realise what happens out bush, stays out bush, but it certainly could never be filmed for public TV.

The one that was on at 9pm must have been a repeat. Had a very attractive blonde( Honora Bowden)with a rocking body that got really sick and had to leave. She did some serious biothing at the guy. Was a desert with fresh water ponds here and there. Palm tree and not much more. The Everglades episode was on at 10.

Barring some accident or immediate illness (like appendicitis) anyone should be able to survive a week. Even if they had bad water to drink. After that week things might get a bit dicey but none of us will starve to death in a week.

A week is BS if I have water,,, uh,,, Next fall, anybody wanna go? November or so?

You, uh....You're inviting guys to go camping naked? It's gotta be a Florida thing. On the list!

I can't figure out where they were. Water lettuce and armored cats aren't usual around the glades cypress that look like that. Some of the shots were definitely major canals. But, the big cypress buttresses with shallow water has to be a private spot.

I just can't watch that show.

Buncha woosies. If I'm not afraid of Sam naked, There's really no reason to be afraid of me...
