I've studied survival intensely all of my life, practicing whatever seemed practical. I've yet to see anyone on this show who knows more than Boy Scouts knew when I was a kid The producers must pick them carefully for their ignorance. They all "think" that they want/need a fire in their shelters and half a dozen have burned their shelters as a result, one gal did so twice! :-) Almost all of waste way too much time on their shelters and never have one that's worth a hoot. Because they "think" that they want a fire, they have to leave lots of vent holes, choke on smoke and of course, freeze their butts off cause all the heat goes out the vents.The people who follow the show intently are of course even more igooant. with 2 exceptions, out of 70 guys, they've all just starved, and I mean losing 50 lbs in 60 days type starved. They make exxusses like "lonlienes and tap out. The onnly 2 who've managed to eat adequately had no such problems! :-)
