Ah, hell, his name is Joe. But, dude, you had a fire going when you lost the fire starter. Just keep it going forever. Where else you gotta be that you can't put a log on the fire every couple hours? Night time is a challenge, but if you keep it reasonably dry, you can stoke it back to life again in the morning.
Maybe they've saved the competent folks for later. Two guys have boiled water in episode 2, including the "better float across this water on a rickety tarp raft".
This guy eating a banana slug, a notorious carrier of rat lung worm, seems like an avoidable risk? At least he thoroughly cooked it.
OK, Alone is fantastic. The cop talking tough while leaving after the first day because of bears is hilarious. Oh, there are bears in the woods? Better go home, tough guy.
Next one to leave is because he's afraid of dogs.
And, look, bears are scary as shit. But, these guys act like serious outdoorsmen, and they've never run into wildlife? Without a firearm they're terrified? I'm a casual but regular hiker, and I've been sniffing distance from bears, a bobcat, a lynx, and wolves.
@VeroniqueB99 Within a month of the 2024 election, I checked in the attic space in my townhome to see if it could be made livable (it couldn’t). So yeah, things are progressing as I expected. 😑
