But I don’t get the naked.
Give them shoes at least.
Some of those bug bite scars must last forever.

But survivalists adapt & overcome by using their skill of crafting their own shoes. And clothing, ..for protection.

You start with nothing but a blade & a cooking pot & a map.

Senior survivalists know how to survive in the elements. Cuz they're stiil here! 🙂

Or the jungle with fire ants & snakes.

My psr rating would start at 0.
Lol

I'm no survivalist but I do appreciate those who live such a lifestyle.

We're all beautiful considering how far we've travelled to get where we stand in the moment & still inching forward.

..dragging myself across the dirt, gasping for a drop of water, covered in ant bites, clinging to my little empty pot & a map.
"How does my make-up look now?" 😫

Haa..

I do wonder how much is staged.

Are they actually naked? Is it popular because they are naked or because they are doing a survival thing?

I have watched Alone and kinda like that show but the last thing I want to see is them doing it naked. I guess I just don't understand the premise. They are either showing naked people or just almost showing naked people and people watch to catch a glimpse?

Alone is cool this season with the 100 day challenge.
It's a lot more authentic than N&A, which is more staged reality, i think.

Unless you hunt a wildebeast & tan the hide & make pants or something.
I'd make foot coverings 1st. Then a covering for my body.
And a hat too.

I'm sure not eating any grubs!
