Anyone just watch that little girl pull an old Newhouse #6 bear trap out of the brush?? If that wasn’t staged it was the find of the whole series.

I saw it! Did not look staged.

Moosetrot

A trap in the woods and not even anchored down that seems odd as chicken lips.

I found an old pile of Newhouse 4’s along a creek once, like someone just walked off and left them a long time ago. That one she found was in good enough shape you could read the pan though.

I agree 100% about it being staged. I said the same thing to my wife when it happened.

And on the Mountain Men show just before, Tom had 3 beaver which was $1500 worth of fur. I need to sell to his market!

From all I have seen and heard of the Alone show I don't think it "stages" anything. But I admit it was surprising to see what great condition that trap was in. My question is since you can use anything you find....will she start trapping with it?

One further comment on this year's show: On the point of pure best use of your resources, wouldn't the guy that got the deer have been better served to have eaten those brains than smear them all over a deer skin? Lots of fat/calories in brain tissue.

I wonder what the collector value of a trap like that is?

I haven’t watched this episode yet. Sents she found a bear trap! And she try’s to trap with it and catches a bear! What well she do? This might get interesting!!

Hint:
100% of what's on all "survival" shows, including Alone, is staged.
100% staged drama just like any movie or tv show.

Ever hear of a "nondisclosure" clause in a contract? They can't say certain things or they'll be sued into homelessness.

If reality was a plain cupcake the producers will add the sprinkles would be my take on it.

BP,when times get tough you can eat a brain tanned hide.Some fur traders and natives in the north resorted to eating their moccassins on occasion..

If she can set that trap, she don't need it to get a bear. She can just wring his neck.

Saw it. They say the contestants can utilize any items they find from their site (that they didn't bring with them), but they didn't mention if they can keep it!

B.S. and sprinkles aside, I'm still addicted to the show!

I do like to watch the show too. I have to record it and watch it later. Like most of y’all. All these types of shows, I like to see how much b.s. is in them.

I'm sure that is true but will he get the same caloric value as when the brains were fresh?

Maybe he was worried about CWD.

Good question-is there less caloric value in smoked fish as compared to fresh? I dont know.
