gear you dont need on the Alone show.

[amongst]

the sleeping bag, axe, saw, cookpot, gillnet, paracord, belt knife, ferrorod,  regular bow.  Do  you now how to replace those items with more versatile gear, or make substitures in the field? Take the 12x12 tarp as half reflective and half clear material. Take the Cold steel shovel, modified to have 8" of saw edge. Take the modified Crunch multitool, the 3 lb block of salt, the 2 lb ration of pemmican (as bait, like the salt) Take the fishing kit (as one bent sewing needle and 24 of the biggest hooks allowed). Cut them in half, reforge the ends. and have  48 smaller hooks. Take the 2 person rope hammock and out  of it, make 5x as much cordage and netting as you're allowed to take. Take the big roll of duct tape, so you can seal up the tarp shelter, with double layers of tarp, and dry debris stuffed between those layers. You can use the tape to help start fires, make debris-stuffed pontoons for the outrigger-raft, make sealed dry bags for tinder, stored food. Take the snarewire , a  bit of it as copper electrical wire. then you can start fires with the battery from the head lamp. Take a slingbow, and take down arrows, so your projectile weapon can always be on your person, and so you can use baked clay balls as "ammo" for small stuff and not waste an arrow on such shots.

 

The reason you dont need the sleeping bag is y ou can dry out debris under the 20x20 tarp, using hot rocks and then that debris becomes your insulation.  Keep the shelter small and sealed, so you dont lose your body heat. you'll get a little condensation, but the debris will soak it up. While you sleep, you open a couple of tiny vents, as in 1/4" holes, opposite sides of the shelter, That deals with the condensation.
