yep, as I mentioned earlier, I have drank out of 100's of water sources all around that area, but even I wouldn't touch something that had a stank to it in a marshy area! Definitely would have been a keep on walking situation for me.The ex-soldier guy disappointed me. I thought this tough guy would win. What dummy. Drinking water from a creek with dead chum and stinky water. He drank 10 quarts of it? No wonder he got sick. I think the guy they don't show very much is probably not crying enough or misses his mommy enough. Seriously 5 days and they cry for their family. It does make good footage.
Deewar,
From what I understand they have not yet called for a second season and are waiting to see how viewership is come episode 5. The casting call is to speed up the process if History does order another season, they will have people ready to go.
It sounds to me through my contacts that they will be filming up here again if it is a go. Fingers crossed they do as it was a ton of fun.
Only hope we get to be involved again.
Looking forward to this weeks show, think the boys battle a hell of a storm.
It's just so amazing how some people can't stand being alone......
It's not like they've been out there for six months straight....
Isolation, loneliness and fear seem to be the biggest factors..........
I thought it was a bit of a stretch saying the cougars grow over 200lbs and that humans are part of their diet.
Island cougars are generally smaller than mainland cougars... .......you aren't going to find many that hit 200lbs on the island. The bigger cats are on the mainland.
And while there have been cases of cougars attacking humans (often cougars that are malnourished or have some other issue like being unable to compete with other cougars).....I can't remember the last time I read where anyone was killed and consumed by a cougar on Vancouver Island as prey.
Generally they avoid interaction with humans.......If you've spent any amount of time in the woods on the island in certain areas I guarantee you that a cougar has seen you..but you never saw the cougar.
