I'm glad it ended the way it did. I hope the second-place guy got enough money to make it worth his while, he certainly deserved it.

I don't hunt, but enjoy shooting targets with some old (1960s) rifles my dad gave me years ago, specifically a .22 and a .308, both of which were a lot of fun once fitted with new scopes. I stocked up on some old Argentinian bulk military surplus .308 ammo years ago so that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I also occasionally fire a Ruger Old Army revolver. It must be because I like the BOOM and smoke from black powder, since I rarely hit what I'm aiming at with it. It had to be repaired about 20 years ago and on a whim, the gunsmith decided to set gold into the engravings without asking and at no charge. I guess some purists might have objected, but I thought it was a pretty cool thing for him to do.

What I find a bit weird is that there is a list of banned items. If you can only take items from the list of 40 items you're allowed, than a list of banned items is rather superfluous... I mean, those items would not be on the list of allowed items, would they.

I suspect the list of banned items is there because they never published the original list of forty items like they said they would. This way, viewers aren't wondering why nobody brought a lighter or rifle. The items that "no one their right mind would have chosen" must have been really embarrassing (?) for the original list to be such a secret. :shock:

In several (if not all) of the episodes so far, a text saying something like "go to history.com for a full list of the 40 items the contestants could choose from" is displayed. Has anyone been able to find this list?

The complete list wasn't published, and the contestants aren't allowed to discuss what was on the list. This article has more details, including a list of banned items.

Also,I would keep food and "kitchen" quite far away from camp,so that food would not attract wildlife.I would hang food in bags on very high branches.And if animals would still reach food...well...they better eat my food than me. :lol: :lol:

After seeing the mountain lion footage I'd try to devise a way to sleep with ME in a bag on very high branches. There is such a thing, it's called a Tentsile.

Just watched all four episodes - I'll definitely keep up with this series. Thanks for telling us about it !

Independence. And the second thing is sandbox play with three difficulty modes to choose from.
