I watch this show in the hope of learning something
but other than what NOT to do, I've never seen anything. They dont even know to use alternative Swedish torch fire lays to ignite Siberian fire lays and heat rocks to put under their bedding They dont know what items to take, much less what to do or in what order to get them done. They need to each take a 2 person hammock. One needs to be a solid material hammock, waterproof sprayed while still at home and the other hammock needs to be a 2 person cotton-rope type. Of the items offered by the producers, they should take the machete. The sheet hammock becomes your tent, breech clout, shoulder cape (if needed vs the sun) water container, liner for your stone-boiling pit, The cotton rope hammock gets unraveled, as does the rope and the rope strands. The 44 threads are then re-spun into 6 thread string, used to make netting. The netting can be stuffed with dry debris to form blankets, cover the ends of the hammock-tent. The sheet hammocks are all pretty much 10x6 ft in size. So you can cut a 3.5 x6 ft hunk off of one end, to make all of the other needed items. If you have dry conditions and soft, non coniferous wood, , it's very easy to start a fire with the fire-saw. If youre not that lucky, you'll have to devote 2-3 hours to making a big pump drill. Then you can easily make fire, with any sort of wood, no matter how wet it is. Almost none of them have known to even bury their coals in the ashes, of a foot deep pit, with a small, movable primitive shelter to put over the ashes pit and a trench around it to lead rain-water away from the pit. Kid stuff, man.
