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

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 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.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

None of the past contestants ever even suggest anything is staged, it is one of the few shows I watch assuming it was not

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

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

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

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!! 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!

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.

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