Thread: Alone Australia 2

I'm an Aussie import, never hunted in fiordland but I've visited milford, been blessed with plentiful rains and also spent wet weeks hunting in Haast.
Gotta say even in on a rainy day back home most aussies with a bit of experience should be able to figure out a fire, we're pretty spoilt in that regard. But getting one going and keeping it going in the west coast bush when everything has been wet for days can be a real struggle even when cheating with modern technology. I reckon the first several days straight of rain making everything constantly wet being an instant tap out for most of the contestants, even the aboriginal Sheila complained within the first episode. The bearded ex SAS fella was pretty sharp finding a dry hollow tree to stash tinder inside with a hot stone, but it doesn't really look like anyone has made much of an effort to sort out firewood and keeping it dry yet, in my limited experience that should have been step one.

All pitched the tarp as an A frame, great for ventilation on a warm day to dry things out but useless for sideways rain and wind... Nobody has gone for a storm proof tarp pitch? Odd. Lets the sand flies come and go freely though! Poor bastards didn't know what they were in for there hahaha.

Looks like most of them are wearing those neoprene topped bumboots. Once those get wet they'll never dry out, I'd rather hunt barefoot with cold feet!

Bit of talk of getting a pig for food, wouldn't have thought that would be very likely though?
