Oh, I agree and plz don’t take my comment wrong. I just feel now (and last season) being permitted to “bring” weapons along (bow) takes away from showing their true survival skills. And tho I’ll give them some hooks and line I’m kind of even against bringing a gill-net. With these things it is more just opportunity than skill, imho. I really appreciated the ingenuity of some in the first few seasons.

So you’re saying you think they should be relying only on stuff they find and create on location rather than fancy equipment that they bring? I see your point, but I also think using the tools they have as effectively as they can is interesting to see. Most of the contestants in season 1/2 relied on fishing with hooks or gill nets anyways. I think hunting takes more skill than fishing. I would rather see people out looking for ways to hunt than sitting around in their hut waiting to starve.

The less interesting trend imo is seeing people bulking up before the contest just so they can starve themselves longer. Sam from last season won without catching a single fish or hunting anything (besides mice).
