So I just have an observation I guess and want to see what everyone else thinks on it I've been watching and re watching all of the alone season and the first couple of season seem really easy with not much effort (save a few guys) put into shelters and really living in the wilderness instead it seems most are in the mindset of "good enough for survival" from what I'm seeing the winners are typically the people that really go out there to live indefinitely not just survive for a while not to mention it seems like there are a lot of really simple mistakes being made throughout all of the seasons like how they handle knives and saws misplacing key equipment like Ferro rods and using the axes/hatches in dangerous manner like holding the log while splitting it things that were absolutely drilled into me as a kid in boyscouts that you would imagine would be second nature for these "trained survival experts" I'm not saying it isn't hard or mentally exhausting but it seems like at least half the contestants in every season are just some Joe smo who's had some outdoor training/experience and I would like to see a season where maybe after they select the 10 people they spend even a month or two together with real survival experts in the environment they will eventually survive in learning and honing in skills for that specific environment and see how that might change things
