Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire what 10 items would you take for the Alone tv show?

Welcome to the Fire lonee.
Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?

I have seen the promos, but I never sat and watched a single episode.

Heard Donnie Baker taking about it. That’s all I know.

Who?

Hang on i’ll post a pic

lol

alone and NA are not the same at all. Alone pays 1 mill to the person who can last 100 days and you get to take a lot of clothing and gear, but it's done where it's cold. No guns, steel traps, cable snares, no lures, no rods or reels. A very small gillnet, 25 fishooks only. YOu have to video yourself at least 8 hours a day and while doing anything of import. That means you have to lug around 30 lbs of camera gear all the time. They are stuck in a 1.2 mile radius of their drop off points.

My background is that I was raised on a farm with no electricity or running water. I served in the Army for a couple of years in the early 70's. I've CCW'd since I was 16, have shot hundreds of critters with ccw guns and loads. i"ve placed in the top 10% of in about 150 IPSC matches, to include US Nationals and World shoots. I"ve been a gunsmith, machinist, truck driver, loan officer, welder, manual laborer, carpenter's helper, I gave up on shotguns in 1978, on revolvers in the 80's. Ive owned a few DA autos, a few double stack mag autopistols, but never would again buy either. i"m a cocked and locked SA autopistol guy. Ive shot about 1/4 million rds, 90% of it thru SA autopistols, about half of that .22lr, nearly all the rest of it being cast lead .45 ACP's.

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! :-)

But unlike you, Wabigoon's a kind, intelligent, decent gentleman.

Aaah, may want to check your quote function, bish...

Edit, much?

Bic lighter

Polartec Jacket

Wool Blanket

Bottle of Whiskey

A good knife

A 44 magnum to kill any animals that want to eat me before I die of hypothermia

almost none of that is allowed I posted the gear list for a reason. Maybe, if you weren't so lazy, you could look at it and not look so ignorant with your next post? It's worth a try, anyway.

that's too bad, he' wont last long here, that being the case.
