I'm behind in my caps of "Naked & Afraid". Stay tuned for more recaps this week.
Episode 13: Mayan Misery
Shannon and Cass are in the rainforest in Belize. For their survival tools Cass brought fire starter and Shannon brought a survival knife.
There is lots of rain. Shannon says everything is either too fast or too high in the trees to catch. They spend a lot of time in the caves (which had rabid bats). They dont have anything to eat for 10 days.
They find some free standing water and drink it. I was worried about what would happen but thank goodness there are no issues.
Cass finally kills a "Belize Jungle Worm" (ie a big ass boa). They cook it up and it keeps them from starving. There are also ticks (which I really HATE).
I really like how this couple worked well together to make it till the end.
Beginning PSR (primitive survival rating):
Cass: 7.2
Shannon: 6.9
Ending PSR:
Cass: 7.4
Shannon: 7.1
Episode 14: The Pain Forest
Fernando and Samantha are in the Malaysian rainforest. For their survival tools Fernano brought a machete and Samantha brought a fire starter.
Dangers to beware of in their environment are: coral snakes, tigers and giant monitor lizards.
They both end up with leaches in their private areas. Eekk. The good news is they dont have to look for fresh water with all the raining. The bad water is all the rain brings down their body temperature and Sam has the early stages of hypothermia.
Fernando kills a "100 step snake" but then cant start a fire so the snake meat rots. What a shame. And yes the snake gets it's name because that's how many steps you take before you die.
Fernando eats a mushroom. Dude you should NEVER eat mushrooms in the wild unless you're 100% sure of what they are. And not surprisingly he gets very sick. He has a high temperature and the medical team is called in. He is almost forced to quit but hangs in there. Samantha, who had relied on him heavily, steps up and builds a raft that they need for the 3 mile river journey to the extraction point. They are able to avoid the monitor lizards on the way (which is a good thing since they apparently are very territorial and will kill and eat humans).
I also liked the way that Fernando and Samantha worked together. He got her to do jumping jacks when she was freezing. She picked up the slack after he ate the mushroom.
Beginning PSR (primitive survival rating):
Fernando: 7.1
Samantha: 6.8
Ending PSR:
Fernando: 6.9
Samantha: 7.0
Grade: No grade is assigned since this is a reality show.

Seriously that Samantha and Fernando had no business being out there. They had no experience both of them are liers. Watching them try to start a fire was rediculous. They had no pryer skills. You two are sad sorry ass human beings. Stay home camp in your back yard. Leave the survival Shit alone. You posers..
ReplyDeleteThere's sheep and there are lions. I'm a lion Samantha and Fernando are the meat. I'll see you two sheep when the apocalypse comes with a fork and knife. Sleep tight
ReplyDeleteI hear ya. I tried to start a fire this weekend with some drenched logs in 15 degree weather. Good thing i had my fire logs. Those suckers work wonders. I thought while I was trying to start the fire how ill equipped I would be on "Naked & Afraid".
