Found it! Right there on top of the entertaiment center. Now, the remote .......

Mmmmm. Porcupine.

Looks like you found the remote.

Nope. My son found the remote.

They should learn how to set a hook .......

The power of suggestion.....

No fresh salmon in the fridge. The back-up? A can of Bumble Bee Red (Sockeye) Salmon. About 770 calories. I'll walk an extra mile tomorrow.

Toss it in a frying pan with a little butter, some chopped onions, a bit of garlic.... OH YEAH! I'm opening the can in 10 seconds.

*Uuuuuurp* That was good. I've always wondered how they can say there are 7 servings in that tiny 14 oz. can. I'm still hungry.

I think the show is interesting. It's nice to see them working well together, and they all appear to get along. I agree with Ken, that the girls who were fishing don't know how to set the hook. But, at least they perservered. Glad the salmon was good, Ken.

Thanks. When you're hungry and it's late at night..........

Well, it looks as though 4 of the 9 made it. I'll bet the one that quit with just one mile left (they did not know they only had a mile) is going to be upset.

Sayonara....

To quote you, it must be Karma.

Still, 27 days in the wilderness of Alaska is a pretty good accomplishment for some city folks. I know Hopeak spends that long in the out house but hey, they aren't that tough...yet.

I enjoyed the show. For having no experience, I thought they did a good job. One thing that really stood out (and I know that many of you already know this) is the need for food. Rule of 3's states that you can survive 3 weeks without food. That number is quickly reduced if you are hiking your way out through rough terrain.

You knew they were getting acclimated when the one gal started to take a bite and stopped.

"Are those fish eggs?" she asked looking at her spoon.
"Yeah. Protein." One of the guys responded.
(Shrug) she takes a bite.

Caspian Star - Osetra Malossol
Medium to dark brown in color, golden in cast, these firm medium size caviar beads present full rich nutty character. This full flavored caviar has a richness that can only be described as complex…the nutty overtones are perfectly complemented by its subtle brininess. A classic choice among chefs.
1 oz (28.3 g)

Price $ 230.00

The Little Pearl - Yukon Gold Salmon Caviar
Yukon Gold Salmon caviar from Alaska's mighty Yukon River. Transport yourself to the wide, swift Yukon and Tanana rivers that flow through Alaska’s majestic interior beneath Denali, North America’s largest mountain.
Large eggs for caviar yet small for salmon, Yukon Gold bursts with intense flavor. To prepare for this 1800-mile run these fish stockpile essential omega-3 fatty acids. Taste the rich burst of salmon and feel the exceptional texture and egg definition. Each orb glows with radiant orange offers a little taste of the Yukon valley’s rich minerals and brine from Bering Sea Krill.

Price $ 14.00

I watched the entire series, I thought this show was well done.

I did not think so favorably of the "experienced" people. I got the sense that they were all talk, but weak on the followthrough. I thought they quit early because they had the mindset that it was going to be a campout.

Amazingly the least experienced members were willing to rough it, stick it out, and see it to the long run. I would rather be with those people, than the "experienced" people. The most important aspect to survival is a strong mind and the will to survive. An expert is no good if they are a pansy when TSHTF.

I look forward to the next one.
