This makes total sense, but the show frequently portrays the men in this situation as just weak, rather than just victims of the consequence of doing all the lifting and cutting on Day 1. The show does seem to revel in filming them crying and being weak rather then explaining.

None of the people who go on the show can handle walking without shoes, which I find insane because they know they're going on the damn show. Why aren't they just walking barefoot for months and months before going on? They also get sun burned a lot, so why aren't they tanning?

I used to make fun of how they can't start a fire for shit, then a last week I had to start a fire in a fire place with paper, matches, dry wood, and a fire starter. It took me almost an hour and I'm experienced at starting fires, so now I have mad respect if anyone can do it.

I'm serious, I couldn't start a fire for shit. Used up all the matches, had to use a pound of paper towels, then the only time I got it to work was when I used one of the tricks from Naked and Afraid to help start the fire. FIRE IS FUCKING HARD.

But, the dumbest thing is they can bring any fire starter they want, so some people bring a nice magnesium alloy starter they can scratch and spark. Other morons bring a fucking bow and stick starter along with a giant bag of ultra fail that comes with it.

The only time I saw someone nail that thing was a woman in an Australian episode. I saw her bust out the bow and I'm laughing, "Ahahaha the bow! She's toast." Then she puts a bone on the top of the stick which helps keep it stable and turn faster and BAM she had one going in 10

The people who go on this show do not watch this show. It is totally fucking obvious they do not do their research. You can watch for 10 seasons and take notes on all the common things that fail miserably, but these are all kind of meat head fit douches and military idiots.

For example, every fucking show some idiot makes a figure 4 dead fall trap in the middle of nowhere with zero bait. TRAPS NEED BAIT FUCK FACE. They also don't eat all of animals they get, so they could use leftovers as bait. Nope, just a rock in a field and it never works.
