Much respect to Jordan
Clay and Jordan knew more than all of the other competitors put-together, but it totaled very little. Anyone who "needs" to take the ferrorod, cookpot, axe, saw, paracord, gillnet, fishing kid., belt knife, sleeping bag is a cheechako.
Men have taken elephant, bears, tiger, lions with bows. A wolverine is nothing by comparison. Most black bears are 200 lbs or less. A drunken biker, even without a belt knife, is more dangerous by far than a black bear.
he got lucky, that's all. He had no other game plan. If there''d been no moose in the area, he'd just just another loser whose name you could not remember. Those lakes are well-proven to be full of big fish. In one day, you can make a pontoon outrigger raft, with 8 small logs as a frame.and 4 pontoons made out of the backpack and your coveralls. Stuff these items with dry debris, stitch and tape the seams and lash one to each corner of the pontoons, on top of the logs. Each of these pontoons will float a man, and the logs weigh at most 80 lbs. So you'll have at least twice the flotation that you need.
The cotton rope hammock can be unraveled, and the resulting rope can be unraveled, too. Then you unravel the 3 strands into their 44 threads and spin 6 threads at a time into string, out of which you make netting. You can easily make over 100 sq ft of 2" mesh netting per day. They only let you take 60 sq ft of gillnet as one of your 10 gear picks. You can make 1200 sq ft of this netting, while still having strands and rope for camp-needs.
You cant choke down enough cambium and fish to keep from losing weight, but you can reduce that weight loss from over 1 lb per day to less than 1/2 lb per day. Far better to lose 40 lbs in 75 days than to lost 80 lbs, yes? This lets you win at 190 lbs, instead of needing to be a very unhealthy 230 lbs.
Also, youll catch a lot more fish than you can eat, so you can use some of those whole fish and all of your fish heads and offal in a stake and log bait box for bears. Set up this box 10m from your tree blind. You CAN eat enough bear fat and meat to lose no weight. Bears MUST eat all they can before hibernating. They can detect the stench of 100 lbs of rotting fish flesh from miles away, which is where your smoke will have driven them. They cannot just ignore that smell. The log box prevents anything but a bear from accessing the bait and you will have the means of replacing that bait if you are not present when the bear eats some of it.
You start with nothing…..were he get the cans from?
