Amazon offers a 5 qt skillet with lid, so why would you take a mere 2 qt pot, ferchrissakes? but only one person has realized that, so far. 20 possible entrants receive a boot camp about what to do, mostly about how to use the cameras, and 10 are chosen. this guy was one of the alternates. notice all the custommade gear.

Fowler says that the wood in Patagonia wouldn't float, but they give them lots of stuff that will serve as pontoons, for a small outrigger raft. According to larry roberts, of Season one, they are allowed a 5 mile radius in which to roam. The terrain is so bad, that the only sensible way to explore the shoreline is to have a stable craft to paddle. They are forbidden to cut live trees larger than 6" OD on the island, but a few such logs would make a pontoon raft, and whether the wood floated well would not matter. Stuff the camera case, some tarp-tubes, the backpack, the legs of the rainsuit. one set of clothes with dried debris, and they will float really well. So will the life preserver, the airhorn, Cut up a bit of tarp, make chaps and a poncho to tie around yourself, cause y you need to use the sleeves of the rainsuit as water carrier-holders. The sleeves can be tied off in a couple of minutes and will hold 2 gallons. as vs the one pint wooden canteen that Fowler worked an entire day to make. :)

here's what to take, not a bow.

then you have the option of using baked clay balls at targets that aren't worthy of an arrow. Rocks dont fly straight, so dont waste your time and energy stalking anything to shoot a rock at! Take 4 arrows with 4-tined fishing heads, and 2 broadheads. Given a modified Crunch multitool, you can convert 3 of those arrowheads into 24 fishhooks in a couple of hours. You'll then have 3 blunt arrows, which can be fitted with wooden barbed heads if you wish. Be nice if you could take Dave Canterbury's 3 pc takedown arrows, but the producers say that your arrows have to be made of wood. Keep one fishing headed arrow, and have slip on rubber fletching on all 6 shafts, due to the moisture problem on the island. This way, you dont need to waste a pick on the hooks and line.
Dont waste your time and bait on trotlines for fish. You'll just lose the bait or catch minnows. Instead, set the hooks, baited with fish guts and shredded, roasted cambium, on small log rafts for the 3 lb ducks and gulls. A drowning rock, tied about a foot from the hook, will end the fracas in one second flat. There's 30,000 bunny and tree huggers permanently living on the island, so dont set the hooks for coons or magpies! The fowl offer some fat, which you need desperately. Catch them asap, cause they will soon be migrating. You also have to very soon use the fishheads and guts to bait in a bear, and arrow it from your tree blind. THAT means 100 lbs of meat or more, and a lot of fat. But you'll have to extract the salt from a lot of water to adequate preseve that fatty meat.

you can stone boil large amounts of water with A big hunk of tarp. Dig a big hole, line the hole with the tarp, line the tarp with gravel and/or sand. Start with LOTs of seawater at hand, along with lots of firewood. Figure on doing nothing else an entire day and you can have several lbs of salt at the end of the day. But you'll need a canvas and duct tape dry bag in which to keep it. Salt really absorbs moisture from the air and then it' makes a corrosive mess.

So why build a shelter? That's your shelter.

A fire is a necessity, even if for nothing but morale. I've been out in the wilderness, and the difference between having a fire and not having a fire is immeasurable.

First, no idea why I was mentioned in this thread.

But, I can't help but smile thinking about the time we went up to my friends uncles land in Wisconsin. About 100 acres.

Uncle Kenny was as redneck as they come. We called his homemade peppermint schnapps the candy cane moonshine.

We were up there for 3 nights. When we pulled up, Kenny was there and lead us to our 'campsite. In the middle of the clearing there was a pile of logs, mind you NOT TREE BRANCHES, BUT LOGS, about 6 feet high.

He doused it with a gallon of gasoline, tossed in a road flare, and said 'this is the one and only fire I light for you. Don't leave any garbage on my land.' And walked away.

a friend of mine was a force recon and CIA assassin in Laos. I paid him for a weekend of sneaky pete training, back in 1978, after having met him at one of Bill wilsons' matches in Jonesboro, Ark. I had driven down there from the midwest, and was spending the weekend with Bill. I got to harry's place in Joplin Mo about midnight and we spent most of the night bsing. then we went up to his pasture, and i waited to be shown some fancy firelighting. He tossed some diesel fuel on the wood and said "I dont believe in effing around, especially when it's cold".

Harry was a big proponent of the Atchisson (now Ciener) .22lr conversion unit for the shorty AR15. So it's been around for 40 years and not even 10% of shooters know about it and not 1% have any experience with it, but it's a very superior tool for training and foraging. Weighs just 3/4 lb, stows easily in your thigh pocket, costs $250, $50 more for the 30 rd box mag variant) the caliber swap takes just 10 seconds, the accuracy runs 2" or better at 50m, and POI is within 2" of 223 ammo at 50m. There's a way to correct for that, too.

I realize that i've led a very unusual life. :) When I shot with Jim Cirillo, the NYPD stakeout cop, who personally killed a dozen armed robbers and double-teamed another half dozen with his partner, he told me "I'd have loved to have had you with me on my stakeouts". Jeff Cooper told me "you surely do get around". :)

when I stayed with Mike Dalton for the 1978 IPSC national combat pistol shoot, Mickey Fowler shot a bit of practice with me and told me "You're the fastet gunhandler I've ever seen". Mickey was champion of the SW combat pistol league at the time, near LA.
