This woman was chopping little bits of firewood using an axe and steadying it with her hand which is stupid under any circumstances, and right as I was thinking that very thought, WHAMMO she slips and damn near chops her thumb off. I think I yelled out loud, you could see the pain this girl was in, and because they're in the middle of nowhere it takes a good minute for the rescue boat guys to get there. All the participants have a panic button thing they can use to call for help or to tap out.
@Lovechild they're on Vancouver Island separated by about four or five miles each. It's been decades since I was up there but isn't there a bunch of undeveloped land and a wildlife refuge?
Here's a clip of the location:
@Aussie the kick is that every one of them is a self-described expert at primitive skills. In the two seasons I have been watching there has really been no puff people or eye candy like you'd see on Survivor or similar. And some of them are interesting as hell as they adapt to their surroundings, I've said this before, I spent the better part of a year parked next to a river in the wilderness basically surviving on the land, nowhere near that isolated and not alone, but one thing I do know is you let nature dictate the rhythms of the daily routine. Every person who gets run out of the woods tail between legs is one who goes in thinking they got mother nature beat. I think the prize is something like a half million, but most of them just seem to be in it for the rush. Adventure junkies.
@Duchess the urban commandos are the funniest because there's always a couple who start by saying "I'm military trained" or law enforcement or somesuch, and they're the first ones to shit themselves when an owl hoots too close to camp the first night. LOL hard niggas don't like no bears and eating slugs.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
