Do we have any trappers involved this year. A couple have said that they were "experienced" trappers. There are certainly no fishermen this year.

Saw that guy last night ate muskrat, got sick and tapped. Never ate muskrat, r they poison? Agree fishing is not the thing on this series.

Maybe it was just my TV but the pelvic bones of the muskrat that the guy showed after he was through eating looked like they were pretty rare. I don't think he cooked it very well.
Don't know if any are trappers. Most of them seam to be doing a lot of laying around for being in that far north and late in the year. I would think they would need to be getting with it making a good place with a fireplace and laying in some wood / food if they wanted to win.
Do they have to stay right where they are dropped of?
Just passin through

For being 8 or 9 days into it, some of their shelters looked pretty sketchy. Not much protection from the cold. One person did have some snares set out. Not sure if he was a trapper.

Is there a way to watch it online? I like the buckskin lady because she makes her own clothes out of animal skins.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I was watching that gal using her knife . And I said I bet she cuts herself and she did.
Several real trappers have applied but so far they have been turned down. Both of them told me that the production company was looking for those that would fail It's all about the drama. Who would watch If there were 10 hard core outdoors people making It all look easy.
Back when It first started I was contacted but I was way to old to even attempt such an outing.

Have you stopped trying? Maybe that other person might reconsider know that the payback has increased. I'll have to ask him.

I'm pretty sure the guy over cooked the muskrat and then after not eating anything for several days, I think that is why he got sick, Just a thought.

I was asked last month to audition for that show but I couldn't get the pardon from my full-time job to leave for 2 months. They do give you a weekly compensation though. I would love for a REAL trapper to be on one of those shows and not just that person who picks up some survival book last year and now they say they are a "homesteader".

It aint legal to use primitive traps in most of the US, so how could they be "experienced" at it? they dont get to take commercial snares or steel traps. These people are all too ignorant-lazy to weave the netting that would win the challenge for them. The two person rope hammock can be unraveled and the rope unraveled, the inner threads spun and woven into 1700 sq ft of 3" mesh netting. They are stuck in a 1.2 mile radius of their drop off points and half of that radius is out on the lake. It's extremely uncommon to catch or arrow a big animal on that small an area. So they just starve. That is a huge lake, with millions of lbs of big fish. To not make a watercraft, netting and chumlines to catch 600 lbs of fish in 50 days, is just stupid.
