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.

Thanks, all. I'd say No.

I mean, I guess it's saltwater. But, I think they're in a rainforest? They said this place gets 12+ feet of rain every year.

But, they're seemingly all drinking collected water without boiling or treating it. These folks are not gonna last long.

How am I going to get across all this water to find water?

I know this sounds like a joke, but that is literally what is happening here.

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.

@danhugo indeed, there have been tons of state actions and I’m watching them with interest! Massachusetts looks like it’s gearing up to ban some Kalshi markets: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/01/20/massachusetts-judge-poised-to-tell-kalshi-to-stop-taking-sports-bets-in-state
