Alone Australia Recap Episode 1 

Oath. Burning a lot of needless energy.

without the camera gear you wouldn't be watching Alone. Nor would SBS accept the footage from a single GoPro from each contestant. How did you think they had enough batteries etc for a month or more of filming?

@@steviefordranger198 I'd watch something else. Doubt they carry batteries to last a month. More likely when the boat comes around doing health checks, batteries, sd cards (so editing can start) are swapped out. Still, in these times of light weight tech, not sure the gear they require needs to weigh as much as an adult.

I wonder if part of the reason they give them so much is to make it harder for people to move their camp to a different site

@@steviefordranger198 Yeah, but is carrying 70kg or film equipment to be able to film it really part of an authentic survival situation? I think that's the point Lana is making. The average male is going to be able to carry a massive case easier than the average female.

Thanks Duncan. Yeah the Kiwi’s do a good job.

And curious about the items that you weren't allowed to pack either. You could take survival stuff but what items were banned? Obviously bows but other stuff too?

I’ll cover that very soon.

As for the 10 items. If it wasn’t on his list we couldn’t take it; weareexplorers.co/alone-australia-approved-gear-items/

There was a clothing list too but it hasn’t been released publicly yet.

Yeah he talks to the land as the first thing he does, then when he realises tasmania is cold he quits! Absolute soft-cock

yep

The whole thing was a woke disaster

@@HEATSEEKER00Pretty horrible, I’m in Canada, been watching Alone since the beginning. I didn’t even know there was an Australian version. This is awful, survival experts my Aunt Fanny but even having admitted that, what the bloody hell? Home in a day? After a nice free site seeing excursion to Tasmania?, because this lot are pathetic. The first tap needs to never be looking at himself in the mirror again if he went for any other reason. I thought the guy who ran screaming home from Alone before the sun set on the first day was bad but at least he had something legitimate to be afraid of, these people aren’t going to get eaten by a really radical wallaby. Maybe its me, I don’t have any issues with my own company but REALLY, it makes me nuts when these contestants start wailing about “missing my family” before the first week is out. Aaargh, what, are you six, whiny for your Mum at your first Summer camp? Queer lady and her useless self, if your life is so perfect, why the devil did you go in the first place? “Queen for a day” has been replaced with “Whine for a day”.

@@jill7759 its been down hill since the first few seasons .... but this Australian one was REALLY bad ... there should be a male show and a female show ....

@@HEATSEEKER00 I don’t know if you noticed but there is a new one, Alone UK. Bloody hell, the producers of this travesty must all be from London. I have no idea what they were thinking but who in the name of sense plunks a bunch of absolute ninnies up in the Canadian North West Territories? Fashion designers and Ad Executives and one little boy who lives in London and everything he knows about outdoor survival he got from A BOOK? And then there’s the autistic young man who admits to having NO sense of direction and closed out episode 2 completely lost in the bush. A bush in an area heavily populated with some of the most dangerous and aggressive predators on the planet. One contestant is gone halfway through the first day after planting his axe in his leg. Pffft, what could go wrong? After two episodes I’m torn between laughter and a sneaky wish for one of them to get eaten by a bear, if only for being so lunatic as to be there in the first place.

They suck compared to Us and Canada

It’s not necessarily related to a percentage of Aboriginal blood. It’s more about the value system you are raised within. From what I have seen the traditional Aboriginal mindset and their connection to Country is much stronger than ours. I’m not being touchy feely about it. For them it’s intertwined with and inseparable from all aspects of their life including spirituality, customs and values. For us it’s more at arms length. I don’t lack confidence in my ability to connect. I’ve just got to know some Elders who I think are more connected than I am.

Connect ? Superstitious nonsense … the ‘aboriginals’ are just lost Indians … they don’t own the land

@@OutbackMike Then why did all the people who identified as indigenous fuck out of the show? One guy tapped out in 1 day hahaha

Ya but, that girl has a mouth on her.

@@garygagnon5057 What girl?

@@brontewcat Beck.

@@garygagnon5057 Beck is not a girl, she is a grandmother and a woman. You may find swearing offensive, but a lot of women Beck’s age find being referred to as a girl equally offensive.

@@brontewcat And she kisses her grand-child with that month? And she`s a teacher also? To you that maybe normal, to me, not so much.

Agreed. I was quite shocked that several contestants had very little bushcraft knowledge

have a sook

They didn't even start building a shelter till a few days in and everyone dropping out so fast

Know someone that knocked it back when they were told the rules, I've heard of atleast one other knocking it back too.

What does "knocked it back" mean?

They certainly work😊

Nice try😂

Ever been hiking in Tassie? I walked 94 km in 6 days through the snow, mud, mud and more mud, flowing streams and got sorta lost. Camped every night in a tent with my -14 bag. From the Walls of Jerusalem it was knee deep snow until we got to Lake Petrarch in the arvo where it was hot enough to have a swim. I can see you last 5 seconds in the Western Arthurs.

@@steviefordranger198 Walls of Jerusalem is fucked tbf
