    I carry my water inside my clothes next to my skin. I have a water bottle similar to a "bota".

    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Well, I signed up for it. Not sure how serious I am about it. Be interesting to see if there is any response.

    If it actually came down to it - not sure who I could get to come with me. Maybe my brother. He retired last year and is living in Tanzania, but he's always up for an adventure.

    Not sure - maybe. Best would be someone you already know. First thing would be someone you could get along with. Not interested in being with a bunch of type A personalities - butting heads. Second would be someone who could work hard for long hours and enjoy it (in my experience, that would be almost everyone I met in Alaska - and damn few where I live now).

    Got a charge out of one of the captains on the Deadliest Catch show on the Discovery channel. He said something like, "I like working at a job where I can work just as hard as I like and there's no one telling me to stop."

    Best for me would be my brothers. All of our head butting was over years ago. We all have areas of expertise, and none of us trying to tell the others how to get it done.

    I'm with RBB Klkak, you want someone you know, hard to tell who is talk here and who knows what to do in the wilds. And having someone you don't know who thinks they know everything would suc bad and accomplish nothing but making your time hard and twice as much work for you instead of sharing the load. while there are some people on here I would take into the wilds, we have some who I personally would not as their posts make no sense or are non-workable in woods by what they say and still others just find their info on the net and post it here.
    Anyway good luck if you get it.

    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    Good points. Would be kinda like what we talked about in another thread. "Group dynamics"

    I doubt they will pick someone from Alaska to be in a show about surviving in Alaska.

    Truth is, doing a show on someone from Alaska - who really knew what they were doing - would be a lot more likely to be boring. They'd probably know just what was important - and how to go about it - and how to do it with the least fuss. They would recognize the dangers and do their best not to get involved in anything hazardous.

    Not that anyone couldn't get in trouble, it would just be less likely - and therefore - not good television.

    You are probably right.

    Tell them your visiting your dear grandpa or an old friend and that place is creepier than your roach infested apartment in New York City.
