Truly being alone

[Lightspeed]

I Watched the series on Youtube.

Very interesting seeing how various events and errors took these guys down.

Psychologically these guys knew that a comfortable life /help was just a sat-phone call away. Also the prize money was a high level motivator for some of them.

I think the right guy won. He got his life in the wilderness sorted very quickly and made choices that were either right, or ones he could stick with for the duration. He was also no stranger to the danger of predation.. setting up separate food prep, and cooking areas away from his main camp was a good call. Likewise eating on the tide line kept his presence hidden. I liked his way of having a daily ritual of activities synced to the tides. Likewise his strategy of inertia between periods of hunting/gathering/essential activity. Smart moves all of them. His food prep and utensil cleaning routines were plainly well tried and tested.

A good series. I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
