I have been studying survival for a long time and I came to the realization some time ago that it is not good enough. Survival itself just postpones death for a little while while your quality of life plummets. On Less's show he basically go some where and starves for a week. Bear's show is a little better but still not there yet. There should be a show about and called thriving!It would blow these other shows out of the water. Much more info is need then what they are providing!Our predecessors thrived (not survived) although some were robber barons about it

I never understood why programs like this are so popular. I've watched a few and saw nothing that would keep me watching them. A show about thriving in the wild would be much better.

There isn't as much wild as there is urban and I think that I only seen one survival show that just touched on survival there. Anyone could be caught as an outcast in a situation there.

Hmm, why are you studying survival Snap? I admit to being curious. I did for a long time (not so much now). So much has been denied me for so long that there isn't as much need of it anymore. It has a lot to do with being independent. The more independent you are the better off you are

I have been a fan of Survior for awhile now and I find it interesting the way people tick so to speak in that kind of setting. I also love the countries they goto and I have noticed as a rule they have to pick the dumbest people to play this game.
If I was to play this game(I can't due to a list of things) I would first go on the internet after being told of where we are going and look it up. What are the plants you can't or can eat, animals that are able to be eaten, nothing endangered? Bugs to fish with or eat.

Probably. I can't inlist anyhow due to health problems, being away from Kim for a month as well as nana. Also I'm not one to keep my mouth shut so I'd probably the first voted out because I told someone they were an idoit. I tend to not play politics well which is why I am trapped in the spot I'm in at work and they let the pretty blond that fluttered her eyes and flirts with the boss get the promotion I should've gotten. Oh well it happens and it will probably go on happening even with the new boss as I got a great review however there's no funds for a raise and there's no opening to move up.......great.
