Yeah there is some impressive stuff. People making legit log cabins and whatnot always blew me away. I'm a pretty handy guy, put put me in the woods with just an axe and I can't make something like that.

yeah for sure. It was crazy how things just came crashing down for some of them, like they're feeling fine and they've adapted and acclimated and everything is going well but suddenly they get a med check and they're too underweight or blood pressure shit and they have to get pulled... or their shelter burns down completely and they have to wait all through the night for the extraction team to show up and just like huddle by the fire to stay warm and have to hope bears don't fuck with them. Then there was one episode I remember where a woman was chopping wood with a hatchet and got careless while she was narrating to the camera and fucking chopped her hand and severed a tendon. Any sort of cut in a situation like that can fuck you with infection but that's a serious injury in any situation even when medical care is good and accessible. In the most recent season I watched, a dude tapped out in the first or second episode because he had chest pains and had previously had a heart attack, so he was like legit scared for his life. Iirc it wasn't a heart attack and he ended up being okay but imagine being stuck out there in the wilderness and even after making the call, you know help is a few hours away and you don't know what's going on so it's fucking literally life and death.

I would never even consider going on a show like that but I respect the fuck out of anyone who even tries.
