Re: Deadliest Catch

have u ever watched the alaskan experiement? I am really hooked on that one as well. Descrition below...(and by the way no million dollar prize at the end, u get nothing)


Would you volunteer to be abandoned deep in the Alaskan interior on the brink of winter with eight strangers and attempt to find civilization with nothing more than the clothes and gear on your back? This April, during Discovery Channel’s popular “Alaska Week,” viewers will meet the nine daring people who abandoned the comforts of home to test their ability to survive in one of the most physically and mentally demanding environments in the world.

That sounds really cool. There's no way these individuals don't have some kind of survival training in the wild though, not with only having 2 pairs of clothes, they would all die. One or or more of them has to have specific alaskan winter survival training.

But if they don't it still makes for good TV.

actually they do give them some basic training in the beginning. some hunting tips, how to cross rivers, and a few other neccessary survival tips.....they also are provided with some items like sleeping bags, tarps, a nife, eventually they find a riffle ect...

also at the beginning there was one guy who was an experianced outdoorsman but he bailed after the third episode.

of the 5 who are left, i dont see them lasting too much longer. winter has hit and they are pretty much starving themselves to death because there is not much wild life around anymore.

i just like how they go through all that torture and win absolutly nothing excpet to be able to say they survived the alaskian wilderness

yeah they seemed all upset that they were losing all this money but they still made over 50k per deckhand....one of the highest in the fleet.

then they made it seem like the hillstrand boat did the best but they only got 30k each....i guess because they have a smaller vessel.

i would make sure to got on a bigger boat that is for sure...20k is alot considering what they have to endure.


i guess they are brand new episodes next week...i think they continue the show now starting the appilio crab season (which is much more interesting bcuz they are out in the middle of winter)

Re: Deadliest Catch

Re: Deadliest Catch

We knew it was comin though. I hope they drop more dread on the episode with something bad about Jakes Dad. Rough season.
