There whole idea is wrong, with real experts you don't get drama or very little. They should have thrown in couch potatoes if they wanted drama.
I enjoyed the show thoroughly but as Broch said, I'm reserving judgement to a certain degree. I'm giving the participants the benefit of the doubt for now because I believe that issues on the show may relate to interference from the production crew. Having heard the nonsense the Dual Survival crew got up to and knowing someone who appeared on the abomination that is Towie I know what goes on. Pretty sure they were trying to manufacture some tension when the guy stayed out hunting on his own. That's what ruins these shows.
It would be interesting to see when this was filmed because I remember Theresa was making water skins for a TV show at the last Bushmoot. @John Fenna was there at the time
100%agreed on all of thisAt least we did not have to watch 3 days of "how do I light a fire" ?
Think it would have been a different 1st episode if the team had a week to scout the area, pick up local knowledge and such beforehand.
This is made for TV, not the nit picking bunch we are !!!!!!
I may have missed it but I didn't notice them bait the fish traps?
I'm sure every person in there can make a perfect shelter.
Is there a specific period they are simulating? Clearly not European Mesolithic, so early to mid Neolithic?
I’d say it’s not that specific/general Stone Age. As they are using predominantly stone tools (no metal jewellery) and there’s been no mention of farming I would imagine late Mesolithic, but Europe would have been saturated by many travellers already by then.
That’s a fair point! I didn’t realise that. I guess they could have been carried up from the Middle East or traded? lol.There was no pottery in Europe in the Mesolithic as far as I'm aware; certainly of the quality that they are using (happy to be corrected).
