As soon as I saw Cubby get that arrow in his inner thigh I was saying in my head "Tourniquet, tourniquet, tourniquet". I was surprised that he didn't put one on and not strap it down tight but just be ready. Especially before pulling that arrow out. I really felt for him. You's got all the months of preparing to go and dreaming about it, but also all the money that has to be put into buying the gear you'll need. I'm planning to apply to Alone Australia next year, so yeah looking at the cost of things.
The Alone podcast that they started this season is so rad because they interviewed Cubby and he was able to explain what happened. Such a scary moment! Love the season 11 folks they all seem so interesting!!
Great summary Jordan, pretty good analysis! (at least when you were talking about me). I'll keep watching. I hope you drop a few more of these vids, Dub
Haha 👊🏽…. Right on I should have taken notes but I just winged it while I was out doing something in a whim - Next video will be all about Dub - it’s what the people want!😆
Seems like there are more dangerous predators this time around than in most of the previous seasons. Lots of grizzlies and wolves. Definitely an interesting season already!
Yo completely unrelated, no one makes a good wide eye titanium axe, would be pretty cool, because you could make the blade/cutting edge wider and longer, for the same weight + durability/corrosion resistance bonus
WHY do they keep throwing away 1-3 weeks of staying power on a shelter of a type that also needs 2 weeks worth of calories and time to heat with a fire? it's all unnecessary if you know anything. Ditto the week that they waste on boiling a lousy 2 qts of water at a time, 3x per day. 30 days has been the difference between 4th place and the win is 30 days or less, on a normal season. if you dont do anything else but take the tarp, tape, and rope hammock, you can gain that 30 days of staying power. If you know to make a pontoon outrigger raft in a day and 200 sq ft of netting out of the (un-raveled) rope hammock, you'll gain at least another month, cause you'll be able to catch 400 lbs of fish, which is 120,000 calories, That's enough food for 30 days, being active out in the cold, dampness and wind, without losing any weight.
What do you think about the amount contestants need to overcome that have n9 experience in the North ? Like Isaiah from NC . He obviously is so out of place. Like putting me in a hot desert. I'd tap sooner, than later Like being in a Northern spot.
I think with the right mindset and skill set adaptability can rise to the occasion of the unknown. But a place being completely unfamiliar does definitely make it more difficult… But I don’t think impossible.
What are your thoughts on michella not bringing fishing line and hooks? I was curious to hear your thoughts on that. Thanks for the video's and good luck out there
Well, in lieu of hunting since fishing is one of the most productive ways of getting calories, I would definitely bring hooks. I think that could definitely be an issue no doubt. it’s also a great way to pass time when you’re bored productively
@@hobojordo That's what I thought as well. We will see how she does. I'm really curious and exited for this season. I keep hearing great things about the contestants so let's go!
Probably, I would be interested in hearing what the deal was though.. they would have to make it worth the opportunity cost of stepping away from the business I have going now and all that.
@@hobojordo Mr hobo, do people use caribou to survive in the north like the Ivenki do reindeer in the old world? Or is that just an old world lifestyle 🤔
Yeah, that sucks. I just recorded this on a whim and thought I was forgetting somebody ha ha sorry, Isaiah. But yeah, that’s a pretty crazy feeling when you’re left alone and it’s only yourself to rely on for every future meal going forward.. and everything else for that matter. Definitely sounds like it could be an issue with him unless he is able to readjust his focus and recognize that the value of his time out there and opportunity at the $ worth the time away from his family. If life hasn’t forced him to spend time away from his family prior to this experience, that might be a lot to process. I had spent enough time overseas away from loved ones that I was able to put into perspective the few months I would be away and understand that the value I would gain from the win or just from the experience, you are sharing with the wider world is worthwhile in the long run. A few months is just a blink of the eye when you’re looking back on it.
This season’s contestants could not be any more annoying. Every five minutes paying homage to the bullshit spirit world, it was so bad I had to turn it off.
Great video man!! Thanks for the kind words my friend!! It was a great experience!!!
Hi Jordan! Great to see you reviewing this episode👍😊
Jordan! You won it all! Not trying to puff you up, just wanted to mention how cool it was to watch you outlast them all. Well done!

Great to hear your opinion of episode 1. Hope to hear a few more! Thanks.
Cool, thanks. Always enjoy your commentary 🙂

Dude, that arrow to the... wait... WAIT!
This comment was referring to two things. The show and a video game. Sorry.
🤣
I used to be a survivalist like you...
Great summary Jordan, pretty good analysis! (at least when you were talking about me). I'll keep watching. I hope you drop a few more of these vids, Dub

@@hobojordo haha! 🍻
Oh dang! I didn't realize a new season was coming out. Looking forward to the commentary as always.
Thanks for the video sir, love getting your take on the new season!

Jordan! Great video man!
Great to hear from you and congratulations on the axe! The show’s location looks full of fauna… looking forward to the rest of it

Yeah man don’t be self conscious about the videos you’re the best.. do more videos you’re awesome bro
haven't really watched Alone since most seasons are starving competitions. You changed that, in a massive way though.
Thanks Jordan
So are you self sustaining when you are up in the mountains? It would be great to see some of the stuff you do while your surrounded by mother nature.
It varies - I take people up on courses and wilderness expeditions some are more “self sufficient “ than others

I'm routing for William Larkham. Let's go buddy

Coming into the show "heavy" is a strategy. Do you see it as a detriment or advantageous?
As long as you’re not so heavy you’re having health and mobility issues it’s an advantage
Man great group of folks on this season.
I’m sucking it up 100% a couple days and that cut would have sealed up decent. He got lucky that it went up his skin instead of penetrating inward.

Found you at Lex's Place👍 - 👍
Everyone looks so tough this season!

@@hobojordo That's what I thought as well. We will see how she does. I'm really curious and exited for this season. I keep hearing great things about the contestants so let's go!
@@hobojordo Do you think she will use bone from game to create a hook like the ancestors did?
@@3na400 maybe, but it’s hard to replicate the effectiveness of modern hooks
I hope it is a good season. The muddy creek seems disheartening but I'll give it time
CUBBY!! omg... what a horrible way to go. glad he'll be okay, but geesh! the very skilled contestants are going to push the norm in this season.
Hey Jordan- If there was a past winner show would you participate in it?
Probably, I would be interested in hearing what the deal was though.. they would have to make it worth the opportunity cost of stepping away from the business I have going now and all that.
The cast seems pretty solid so far. Curious to learn more about the others but so far I’m gonna go with Dub to take it.
Hey man, I listened to you on JRE and it motivated me to head bush for 3 days, it’s the middle of Winter here in New Zealand, you’re a bad mofo 👊🏻
Did I just learn that a caribou and a reindeer are the same animal?
Haha caribou live in North America and reindeer in the old world.. very similar other than that (with some minor genetic divergence)
@@hobojordo Mr hobo, do people use caribou to survive in the north like the Ivenki do reindeer in the old world? Or is that just an old world lifestyle 🤔
@@ericcomp7032 no, just old world.. though in the early 1900s some were brought to Alaska and some natives there have them
Good stuff, but you didn’t mention the guy from West Virginia, what do you think about his drop shock?
Yeah, that sucks. I just recorded this on a whim and thought I was forgetting somebody ha ha sorry, Isaiah. But yeah, that’s a pretty crazy feeling when you’re left alone and it’s only yourself to rely on for every future meal going forward.. and everything else for that matter.

interesting what the editors choose to occupy the air time
The duck decoys she made were actually quite impressive. I have woke fatigue as well but I want to see what other wild ideas she has.
1st reply,Hey Jordan😃.Totally feel for Cuibby👍🙏
Legend!
