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.

I have eaten muskrat,no different than rabbit.

I've eaten lots of muskrats over the years and never got sick. I like to take the hind quarters and marinade them over night in the fridge with Italian salad dressing and grill them the next day.

That one lady cut herself then a whole lot of drama broke out! LOL

and it was a little cut to boot and barely bled. Dang drama queen.

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?

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.

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.

You could buy the season for a buck on Amazon. Not sure if you still can or not.

I know one trapper that turned them down because of insufficient perdiam during production. The buggers turned me down after signing a stack of contracts, I think because I had a history of nine months of isolation with no meltdown.

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

Still trying

Maybe you would have a better chance on Naked and Afraid. LOL

Doesn't pay enough for the wife to agree to it. Not really my idea of fun either. Now being in the Arctic alone would be a dream come true;

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".

Naked & afraid or Alone. LOL

Hey Beav, don't knock Naked and Afraid until you tryed it.
