65 days without even seeing a woman...can I say that on here?
Not sure if it's PC to say, but you ain't the first among us to think it.
Yeah, I get it 65 days with no women, bet thy all seem sensuous.
Yeah, That's the ticket.......Use "Sensuous" in a sentence......... "Sensuous up, grab me a beer, Sweetie"

IIRC, one of the medical team was female and they get checked every week, weather permitting of course
He probably only has $250,000 after taxes.
David is a smart guy. I hope he is smart with the money. Generally speaking, when people who are not used to money suddenly get a lot, they generally have a hard time keeping it. They don't know what to do with it.
I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

It might just be the editing...but does anyone else notice that after the first and maybe second episode, we don't see anyone really have any problems with bears?Of all the experiences the contestants had, I think blending in with the environment would have been my favorite as well. That has to be a very powerful feeling, to know the fauna now considers you one of them.

Bears probably thought....These things are a PITA, tromping around, hollering "Hey Bear"...... and after a week or two, kinda stinky (didn't see much bathing going on).
I find when hunting.....that it takes about 15 to 20 minutes for the woods to turn back to "normal" birds and animals doing their thing.... especially if you are in complete camo w/head net,....and sit still.....I call it "My Zone".
If something else is going on it may stay quite.....you need to be aware what is and isn't normal.

It's not that the bears weren't still there. It's just that those that were freaked out by them were gone after a couple of episodes.
I live in the NW corner of New Jersey which has a pretty heavy black bear population. Even though visual encounters are somewhat frequent, problems have not been. For the most part they're just too lazy and want nothing to do with you. Being omnivores means you aren't their main diet, which is always comforting (on Vancouver Island my predator fear would have been cougars first, then wolves and lastly the bears). I've been followed a few times out on my treks, but except for one instance it was all for short durations and by a bruin that seemed mostly disinterested in anything other than just checking out the new creature in the neighborhood. I do make a lot of noise as I walk though, because it's better to be safe than sorry, but overall I haven't really had any issues.
You mentioned wolves, I remember in the previews they showed a wolf charging a camera but that never made it to any of the episodes, what happened??
Still not bad for a little over two months' work.
Now he can push for his own reality show, start a survival school, etc. to supplement it. Look how many "expert survivalists" he outlasted.
What would be really cool is to get 5+ seasons done, and have an "all-star show" with the winners from each season in a special setting.
I wondered the same thing. I also thought "where are his friends?". Wolves are pack animals, and where there's one you will frequently find others. I recall seeing a cougar or two in season 1, but no wolves in either season. Guess they're pretty scarce on that island. If it were me I would actually welcome the sight of bears; I already have some experience around them, and where they are cougars and wolves are not likely to be. That would suit me just fine.
How did he manage the tiny USB plug without opposable thumbs?
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Perhaps he coerced a raccoon into doing that part for him...
