they are not allowed to roam more than 2km from their drop off locations. Half of their "5 sq miles" of allotted area is on the LAKE. Not much game to be taken on the water, eh? They should be given a 5 mile radius from a point 4 miles from the lake. Then they'd have about 70 sq miles in which to roam, while moving only 5 miles (at most) from their camp. It's very easy to move 5 miles to and from a hunting area in 2 hours, giving you 4 hours in which to hunt and 1 hour in which to butcher a big animal and an extra hour to move a lot of meat back to camp. If you keep your shelter portable, as in my tent idea, you dont have to make lots of trips hauling meat to camp. Instead, you move camp to the kill-site. You can't choke down enough fish and cambium to do more than at most cut your weight loss in half (as compared to fasting). Losing 40 lbs in 80 days is a lot better than losing 100 lbs in that same time, tho, eh? And having 100 lbs of fish and guts/heads as stink-bait is highly likely to give you multiple shots at bears. In the late fall, bears MUST fatten up for hibernation, so a 200 lb bear is a small one. However, that bear will have 180,000 calories, cause it's 25% bodyfat. If you just hole up and conserve your calories. that small bear is enough food for you to lose NO weight for 60 days, Thus, it assures you the win. HOW will you know how much netting i made or what size mesh I made, or how I deployed the netting? How will you know wha I did with the fish? How will you know if I baited in a bear, or just stumbled across one?

I'd take the Pemmican, a Cold steel shovel, modified to have 8" of saw teeth, a modified Crunch multitool, the block of salt, the cotton rope hammock, the XL size reflective tyvek bivy, the reflective 12x12 tarp, the snarewire, the big roll of duct tape, and a slingbow, with 3 piece take down arrows. 3 of the arrows to be broadheads, 6 of them to feature flu-flu fletching, with Zwickey judohead blunt tips. Cut the crosswires of f of some of the judoheads and use them to make fishhooiks. Unravel the hammock to make netting, fishline, camp cordage. Within 2 weeks, make a bunch of pottery, ALL shoreline mud contains workable clay, you just have to know an easy way to refine out the loam, debris, sand and gravel.

what the locals need to get thru 5 more months of winter, and what you need to win this challenge are very different things. You dont want to waste 1=2 weeks on a shelter and then 2 more weeks of time and caloreis on firewood. they waste 1.5 hours per day, boiling a lousy 2 qts of water at a time. What they should do is line a pit with the reflective tyvek bivy, and stone boil 5 gallons of water at a time. That's 3 day's worth of drinking cooking and washing your hands and face water. Make a bowl with a dipper handle out of duct tape, Gather a hunk of the 12x12 ft reflective tarp inside of a made-on-site basket, so you can store your boiled water. The cookpot is a wasted/inferior gear pick. So are the ferrorod, axe, saw, paracord, sleeping bag, gillnet, fishing kit, bow, belt knife

season 3, Carleigh lasted 84 days, lost 50 lbs. These guys lost 80+ lbs in 65 days. Does anyone see something wrong with that picture?
