Could you survive?

Love that show !
Watched it with the man in the house and it's pretty handy as he knows how to do everything they are doing. Knew how make fire, dress a wound, kill a crocodile! So if he ever get stuck he's sorted!
Me, jaybus, I'd be eaten by the crocodile the minute I hopped off the boat.

What's the name of this show? My feminist housemate said while watching this earlier "pffft, women would be so much better on that island than men" then shíted on about patriarchy for a while (I'll be honest I tuned out a little bit).

Anyway, to cut a long story short - when I asked her why this would be the case, she made excuses and left the room as she wasn't able to give a reason. I would love to get her to sit down and watch it.

Thanks.

Now just to learn Dutch.

And convince her to learn Dutch too. This may be more effort than its worth...

I left the sitting room for a bit tonight purely because they had trapped a crocodile and I knew what was happening next. I'm wondering will this show get some backlash from animal rights groups for showing what these men are doing though?

oh I didn't see the second one yet. It possibly will, I don't like shows that are just an excuse to kill animals, it's not like they're filming someone that is in a life or death scenario without choice and they're doing it for necessity, it's just purely for entertainment

I wouldn't have a hope I am too use to instant electricity and supermarkets. What is interesting is my mother who is now dead grew up on a farm where they grew most of the veg they ate and they keep pigs which they killed themselves for meat, they cut turf for fuel and had cows for milk and butter the only food they got in the shops was flour and porridge...now I am sure if my mother was alive she and her generation would have a much better chance of surviving than I ever would.

That's the thing with some people though. Some people couldn't live without their creature comforts. During the bad weather with the blackouts I couldn't believe how much I took for granted.

I felt uneasy watching it tonight I have to say. I know they have to eat but it's not like they're fighting for survival really. Maybe reality t.v. and it's voyeuristic nature is becoming a bit much at times I don't know.

I just saw it now and it was sickening to say the least, they were so disrespectful leaving it tied up so long and taunting it. Then after they kill it they try to convince themselves, it was 'humane', 'quick and painless'. But their actual reaction, sadness, was very telling. And that's the contradiction of eating meat.

No way I turn into the biggest bitch during. Mild hunger

If it's a tropical area I'd survive easily (I was born in the Amazon Basin) but in a temperate/cold environment I wouldn't rate my chances very highly.

I actually forgot that I can't swim!

So I think I might be screwed...
