@MrWalkSoftly: ok

Alrighty then .....

There was a guy from my neck of the woods on last night's two part episode. Here's a few excerpts from an article about his experience....

""Copperhead meat tastes clean, but water moccasin, or cottonmouth, has a muddy, fishy flavor. Jeremy McCaa , of Monroe, Louisiana, said it could use some Tony Chachere's or NuNu's. Grubs taste a little like wood when raw and taste vaguely like burned bacon when cooked. He said he ate worms "for cinematic effect." It's all about the slurp.
Jeremy spent part of September and October in the Atchafalaya Basin while filming "Naked and Afraid" for the Discovery Channel.

"I was getting in just pure hell being thrown in the swamp, and I knew it. My partner did not know it," he said.
He said every few steps, they killed a venomous snake. They also dined on frogs, crawfish and grasses. Jeremy tried to hunt wild boar, which he never caught. His best kill was when he snared a deer. They smoked it and made jerky.
"All restitution has been paid because that was an illegal kill," he said. "Well, in Louisiana, you were not supposed to snare a deer, whether you are in a survival situation and being filmed on TV or not."
He said he honestly set the snare for a hog but caught a deer instead. He was ready to eat anything at that point. The game wardens came up in a big boat shortly after show producer reported the kill. Sitting there naked with two game wardens walking up on him was awkward. He said he remained cooperative, the tickets weren't too bad, and he paid all the fines and restitution required.

In Louisiana, the snakes were problematic, but edible. The mosquitoes almost killed him.
"I had blood running down my body, all the way down, dripping off my ankles from mosquitoes. It was literally thousands of them," Jeremy said. He joked he went airborne a few times.
He said lore that mud and smoke will keep the winged predators away is a lie. The gumbo drying in his body hair was immensely painful. "I don't know how you women do waxes."

At night, he said, only a few stationary cameras are rolling, and Jeremy said they caught footage of weird things at night that can't be explained. He cited the legend of Jean Lafitte's ghost searching for his treasure.
"So you watch whatever it is I caught on camera, and then you can make up your own mind by it," he grinned.

What did he miss most about modern society?
"Pickles," he laughed. He and Melanie both included pickles as part of their dream meals once they were pulled out of the swamp. Jeremy spent two hours in the shower to get clean, and he lost 32 pounds.
"You wouldn't've wanted to come around me with a pickle. I would have come at you like a puma," he said.""

Oh wow. I don't watch that show. But I know in the swamps of Louisiana, like my mountains in Arkansas. **** goes on that will freak you out.

Referring to the ghost

@xlace1975x: I don't know what would be worse to be naked in for 21 days....the cold in the mountains, or the skeeters in the swamp.

Btw, the girl doing the challenge saw a big ass water moccasin and said, "I almost shlt my invisible panties!"

I could not...#1 I am not comfortable being out in that much nature. Lol
#2 I'm not confident enough in my body to do that. So, nooooooo.

Never saw the show but does killin somethin and makin clothes count

Dude caught a fawn in a snare last night....and they make clothes out of vegetation sometimes
