>>1819530No, you're the retard. You bulk up before the show. 20 lbs of fat and muscle is better than 2 rations. There's a reason why the already thin people tap out and Fowler was STILL overweight at the end.
Instead of 1 ration you bring a bow and arrows or a slingshot if you know how to use them. There were ducks, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and coyotes at the participants locations. The bow also serves as self-defense against predators if you get unlucky.
Instead of your 2nd ration you bring a gill net, a 2nd set of fishing line and hooks to make trot/snag lines, or paracord to make your own gill net, a crap pot, some snares, some deadfall traps, a 2nd shelter for drying wood and cooking (and have left over paracord to use for other shit).
2 rations ain't gonna stop you from starving. The right items and more importantly, the skills to use them can.
My loadout:
1. Sleeping Bag
2. Ferro Rod
3. Knife
4. Axe
5. Saw
6. Mixed Fishing Line + Hooks
7. Paracord
8. Stainless Steel Pot w/ Lid
9. Bow + 9 Arrows
10. Either more fishing line + hooks or more paracord, would depend on the location
Everyone already gets 1 or 2 tarps which aren't included in their 10 items.
