Enter the History channel's latest brainless attempt at a survival show: Alone. 10 guys who are isolated from each other and dropped off at different places at Vancouver Island, completely isolated from each other and are considered very experienced outdoor experts. they get to keep their clothes and judging from how cold it gets they're going to need them. They get to pick 10 items and the idea is that the last man standing will get the grand prize of $500,000! I went to the History channel website and read the items list and bio for each person, At least half of them took a bow with 6 arrows as one of their items. They all took a ferro rod but hardly any of them could actually start a fire given the extreme wet conditions of Vancouver Island. I don't know if these guys have been vetted or not to see if they actually have done what they claim but I suspect the youngest one, Sam Larson, lied to get on the show. He's very immature and if it were up to me I'd slice him up for fish bait! Anyway there are predators roaming the Island; bears, Cougars, and wolves, and these guys are completely alone, filming themselves. After only the 1st night one of them, Josh, tapped out because two bears were coming right up to his lean-to and he feared for his life. And, you guessed it, none of these guys thought to bring bear spray as one of their items. Josh had a bow and six arrows but didn't nock a one. I wonder if the producers are really watching these guys from hiding because, if not, and one of the contestants gets hurt or killed...well, all's I can say is that I do hope the producers liability insurance is paid up!....
