True point. I doubt the show cares though. There was a line in the email that stated, must have legitimate primitive survival skills. Maybe they would take a kid depending on knowledge and competency.

Just received a call back from Alanna. Gave a short interview and said they would let me know if my application was selected.

Good luck to you Scott, you gonna get naked like Billy? I was emailing them on the last one and backed off when you couldn't kill and eat everything you saw. I'm not into bugs when I could eat a monkey.

Hope you get in Scott and inject some real bow savvy into the proceedings.... if I was a bit younger... and over there... and had some survival skills I'd be all over it like a rash ::)

You are a braver man than I. I think I would resort to eating monkeys only after the bugs were gone.

Anybody ever walk out in the woods and live for two days with nothing? Ever start a hand drill fire? A bow drill fire? Built a brush shelter that actually kept you warm enough to survive? I think sometimes primitive skills and survival skills are mixed together. The two may intermingle, but survival is altogether different.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Not in about 20 years. When I was a High school kid I did all the time, not since.

Just asking man. I'm a bit of a survival enthusiast, maybe more than a bit. I've never walked out with zero in my pockets. I have done a few very minimalistic ventures. Its tough, fun and humbling. Friction fire is a bit**!!! Earlier this winter I grabbed a bow drill kit I had proven many times over. Rolled out a big ember on the basement floor and headed for the woods. That tiny change in humidity stopped the train. I couldn't make an ember to save my butt. I've done the same with a hand drill.
