Not a plug but an FYI as there are some of our members that are "over there, as well"....

Pict, (Mac/Dave) has a current:"Ask me anything" .....thread going on 'That other site..... that will not be named"

is "over there" a bad thing?

Nope, didn't say that.........It is what it is.......

Been a member there for quite a while, as well as a few other forums.....
But don't advertise for any of them.

I like their site too.

[theJman]

OK, I'm game; what is 'that other site' being alluded? I'd actually love to read Dave's thread and get his insight. If you're uncomfortable posting it in the open forum them just PM me.

[hunter63]

PM sent.......(Pict) Dave is/was a member here also, but hasn't posted for a while.....

Much appreciated.

Yep, he's got a good Q&A thread going on over there. Has answered most of the questions asked here.

One extra question too. Someone asked him what his 11th item would have been, knowing what he does now.

His answer was a multi-tool of some kind with scissors for personal grooming.

LOL...saw that....I suppose carrying a SAK counts as "an item" even though I carry one every day.....

And as a warning, if you are upset by being preached at you need to stay away from that thread "over there". Dave is a pastor and speaks his mind about what he "thought about" while on dead time in the woods.

His experience on Vancouver Island was an addition to his spiritual journey through life.

Preached at? How did you come to that conclusion? People asked and he responded, thats NOT preaching

[theJman]

I didn't sense anything in the thread that would be described as preached "at", but there has seemingly been an awful lot of religious comments interjected into a thread about a reality TV show. Two things people should always approached with extreme caution; politics and religion. Far too many variations and differences attached to deep-seated opinions, and that almost invariably leads to some type of conflict. I personally don't care one way or another what anyone believes in either area - to each his own - but I'm not a really big fan of being taken along for the ride.

That was the way I saw it myself Grizz.

For some folks any mention of spiritual or religious belief is considered overwhelming and insulting. As soon as you mention it you get a caution. My comment was simply a warning to those that might object.

That is "over there", this is "over here" and we have two separate and different systems to operate within.

IIRC, one of the medical team was female and they get checked every week, weather permitting of course

Oh.. that's interesting. I didn't know they got medical checks every week. I always wonder how they could be surprised by winning if the only "medical check" seen from last season was when Allen was proclaimed winner. It's also interesting in that they are not as isolated as the show indicates. Not that once a week is a normal amount of interaction, it's still more than being completely alone for 60 days... But I wouldn't hold that against them for sure. I do wonder how much the participants try to talk with the med team out of desperation though

The med team does not "sit and chat" with the contestants. It is a quick check for overall physical and mental health and is over by the time the camera crew picks up old filming and batteries and deposits new. Then they were gone. Very stoic and professional from what I could gather. No information passed about the outside world or other contestants.

[crashdive123]

And David has said that it was tough having them there but not allowed to interact with them at all and them just going about their business very quickly and leaving.

[DSJohnson]

Okay....so someone send me a PM with the password and handshake please I have no idea where you guys are talking about and i would like to read Dave's thoughts. Thank you. I promise to try to not fall into the rabbit hole. I will only look down into it....really...no ...really...scouts Honor.....

[hunter63]

PM sent........enjoy.

[DSJohnson]
