Hey man, nice! Get ffoooooood ha
Good tips too, especially on say the final interview
I should’ve just said just be yourself, but once you make the show, just copy Jordan Jonas… 😂
Ty for sharing your story. Hopefully you can get another shot.
Just wasted 39 minutes of my life. What a clickbait title. You weren't "KICKED OFF" the show. You never made it in the first place. That's like me making it to the semi finals before the Olympics, being eliminated, then making a video about how I got into the Olympics and they KICKED ME OUT. Lol like what? You never made it in the first place to be kicked out. 40 minutes of you never getting to the point and just saying "Be yourself" over and over. I'm seriously annoyed this video even exists
Thank you for saving my time
Thank you Natalie, your comment saved me from wasting 39 minutes of my life. May good karma come your way!
I made it about 12 seconds and seen the hat and gear....
You also saved me 39 minutes ❤️
I looked at the comments too late 🤦♂️
If you're as scattered, redundant, wandering, unfocused, unprepared and self-contradicting as this monologue, you didn't get kicked out...
So basically you were not chosen. Why is the title has KICKED OUT in all caps. What a waste of time. It would not have been so bad if it was a short video. But this guy love the sound of his voice so much. I'm pretty sure this is the actual reason he was not chosen. I'm sure the people at boot camp were just sick of hearing his voice.
6 minutes in and still I'm waiting for him to stop reiterating
10 seconds of quiet talking then 10 seconds of loud music then 10 seconds of quiet talking then 10 seconds of loud music. I think I've adjusted the volume enough
Annoying indeed. I made it to the 2 minute mark, then i had enough and lost interest to find out if it gets any better later on. Also most other comments here sound anything but promising.
"Be yourself" is great advice no matter what you're doing in life.
Yes 👍🏻! Thanks for watching!!!
Not if you are an undercover cop...
I'm glad I read the comments before waisting my time watching this video.
A man that never made a mistake has probably never made anything.
The title is a bit misleading; it doesn’t sound like you were “kicked out”, you just weren’t selected from a larger group of equally qualified applicants. The fact that you made it to the boot camp should be considered an achievement in itself.
I agree… I was going to name it something different, but I reached out to Fowler… he thought it would get better traction with this title😜! I mentioned right at the beginning that it wasn’t so much getting kicked out as it was me disqualifying myself… I don’t normally do videos like this… but Several people told me that I should do this video, that it would help to increase my audience. So far it really has!!! I mainly do outdoor/survival/adventure stuff. I just like bringing people along on my crazy adventures! Thanks for watching.
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures that’s called clickbait and yes you will get a short term bump but long term will turn people off.
@@markaustin5895 maybe, maybe not, this example doesn’t bother me. UA-cam statistics doesn’t care.
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures ..who is Fowler?
This was really good 👍
I feel honored they have reached out to me a couple of times without even applying. I did a video last year on my reasons why I didn't pursue it and some people were very angry with me.
Someday I might pursue it but my family means more right now and adventures with them than by myself I guess.
You would definitely would be a great contestant. 👍
That’s awesome man… You have to do what is right for you! Usually people do this sort of thing to try to find what you’re looking for… The truth is, most of the time it’s right at home :-) Thanks for watching!
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures Amen 🙏
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures Thank You for your authenticity in that reply to RLO. Respect.
@@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors I was wondering if the show searched out for contestants like that. I kind of figured they might. After looking through your channel I can see why they would want you!
I will ALWAYS remember that one "Tough military guy" that tapped out on the FIRST day because he found some black bear sign... Not exactly everyone on Alone is the sharpest tool in the shed.
Edit: For those asking, Desmond White from Season 2. Even his pictures look incredibly pretentious and him trying too hard 😂😂
That was funny! They showed all his smack talk too.
Wich Season?
@@sioux3639 Season 6
@@Bowfella thx
@@sioux3639 it was season 1
I absolutely LOVE Alone! I hope you get another opportunity to be on the show. Enjoyed this video very much. I could never be on the show but I am enjoying watching it every season!!!
Great points Justin! Loved hearing your method to your madness and mistakes you made along the way for your application to Alone! Definitely didn't skip any of the video even tho you thought we would🤪
Thanks so much!
These videos have interesting content, but the presenters need to learn how to tighten it up. It took him seven minutes for him to get started. Then another twenty minutes before he even started talking about boot camp... and we STILL hadn't heard what he did wrong... as the title suggested.
Agreed. 6:40 and I'm out.
It was clickbait. I watched until 39:41 and all he ended up saying was he made it to boot camp and they cut him before the finals because he didn't have a good story. The title implies he MADE IT onto the show and was then kicked off. In reality he was just in the semi finals and didn't make it to the last round
@@thatweirdanimalcrossingchick Thank you for saving me to try to get an answer out of this guy. I made it to 13 minutes on fast forward and the guy still hasn't said crap so decided to check the comments.
Way to many haters in these comments! Thanks for the video brother man, I took a lot from the information you gave here! Good looking out and hopefully we see you in season 10 or 11, who knows we could be going against each other lol
In addition to having the necessary survival skills, talent scouts look for people who are likable, and that the audience can connect to in order to have better ratings. Some people just don't have the personailty, no matter if they have better skills.
You're a winner in my book brother. Thank you for sharing. Bless.
Appreciate the encouragement! Yeah it was a fun process to be a part of, and taught me a lot about myself. I feel honored to have been part of the process.
30 minutes and still you haven't said anything. Never heard someone say so little of relevance in so long.
I appreciate your feedback!
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures No hard feeling. You seem like a cool guy. Only criticism!
I don’t take it that way. No worries. Your honest feedback will help me make better videos for people in the future. I don’t typically make videos like this, but it was just an idea I had when they announced casting for this season. Typically I just like making adventure videos and bringing people along on the journey.
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures Keep doing it, watched some other videos, great content. Subsribed
Much appreciated… I welcome any feedback! Let me know what I can be doing better!
Stick to story not all extra b.s. Your story talks about how you got boot but half way through had not even started talking about what happened. Got bored clicked off. Stop click bait and grow your channel.
I watched for 2 full minutes.....you were still in your intro......I gave up. Respect your viewers time.
Thanks for your feedback! Just trying to have fun with UA-cam and create good content. I really appreciate your comment. I would love your honest feedback on more of my videos if you would be willing. I’m not a full-time youtuber, and that’s not really my goal… But I do love sharing my experiences with others. I would gladly welcome any feedback you might have! Thanks again!
Greg, just curious as to why you'd even bother leaving this comment? I mean, where's your free UA-cam content? Maybe go create something of your own instead of spreading negativity.
A whole 2 minutes, wow, he really wasted so much of your time, get over yourself and quit complaining, you know you probably wasted 5 minutes coming up with what you said
You could have done without the clickbait title.
Yeah… i’ve got a whole bunch of other videos with no click bait title and nobody watches them :-)
Brother, great post man!! Amazing information and many can def learn a thing or two from your experience
you touched on the reason you got kicked out before it even started. 10:47 this is the real reason you were not chosen. the HisStory channel is not interested in finding the people who can survive alone the longest. if they were, season one would still be going on. the HisStory channel is only interested in finding people who will tap out sooner rather than later. they only choose people with chains attached to themselves going in. Families, wives, careers, are chains. they want soft people who will fit in to their season long show with a nice little bow.
I actually think that's why Roland won, he had no attachments. He didn't even leave boot camp for his moms funeral.
@@crazycatlady8285 that's terrible wow...yeah no attachments so they can control them... basically...
Though the tragedy does sell on tell a vision
Hey man this is a great video I wanna do a team one like season 4 this video is very helpful thank you for making this
Really interesting but I think this should have been 2 videos, one on how to apply (I am never going to use this info) and two, how you were almost on alone 6 which is why I am here. Just saying to help your future videos, I subscribed because I think you will have a fun channel and obviously know your stuff!
Awesome… Thanks so much for the tip! I usually don’t do videos like this, just thought it would be fun thing to do when they announced season eight. But I will definitely keep that in mind if I ever do something like this again! I had no idea this video would takeoff like it has… LOL
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures Haha I am glad it did take off because it let me find your channel. I am part way through watching your 7 day series, Its really good! I especially like how honest you are about it all
Look forward to watching more of your stuff. It would be great to see you point out interesting skills/ideas/techniques that come up in the new Alone show too if thats something you decide to do
Hopefully this video gets you more subs so you can do more adventures!
Umm, how do I get 41 minutes and 35 seconds of my life back wasting my time watching this?!
If you watched past the first couple minutes then it became your fault, not his.
Could have just fast foward.
My reply to weird animal crossing and anyone else who feels the title is misleading. If you are upset then you don’t understand Good copy. Good copy gets you to click by telling part of the story in such a way that baits you like you would bait a fox into a trap.
If you’re pissed that the producers didn’t kick him off but that he was eliminated through his own shortcomings then you prejudged and shame on you.
I would say that You seem like one of those folks who can find fault with anything.
Was the title somewhat misleading? Depends on your perspective. He said he was kicked off and you were upset because what got him kicked off was his own ineptitude. But the fact is that he was eliminated so therefore was kicked off.
I found this video very informative as far as how to prepare for being on the show. Maybe you were hoping to watch a tale of woe and despair and therefore were left disappointed. I was initially intrigued and my curiosity led me to a place of more knowledge. Too bad you had bad expectations and too bad you led so many others astray with your negativity. That’s my opinion.
Skip to 25:00 to hear where he messed up
Thanks John! I should’ve added chapter markers. When I get a chance later on this evening I will do that. I had no idea this video would become so popular… LOL I typically don’t do videos like this, I like just going on adventures and filming myself doing what I love to do :-)
👍🏻
DISCLAIMER - DO NOT BOTHER WATCHING. This video is click bait bullshit. He was not clicked off the show. Feel free to drop a thumbs down on his video before you go though. Also feel free to use the reporting option for false/misleading text.
Video way too long 🤦♂️. Lost interest 8 - 9 minutes in. If you can’t say it in under 5 to 10 minutes, you’re just talking to hear yourself talk.
I know a good drinking game. Everytime someone says "oh my god" in Alone take a drink. Everyone playing will pass out before episode 1 ends. 🤦
Why I got KICKED OUT before it even Started......... anyone can share the timeline of him actually explain the reason?
Love The Vidio Justin 💞 Where Their's A Will Their's A Way... Better Luck Next Time Catch Ya Soon 😘 Much Luv & God Bless My Friend.
Thanks 👍
Dude admit you used click bait to get us to watch this...YOU WERE NOT KICKED OUT...you can't be kicked out of something you didn't make it onto in the first place. I liked your application vid tho and watched the whole thing. cheers!
Good to see you again Justin! Hope you're doing great Man.
Good info / talk . Thanks. I just don't see why you were not selected (?).
The Co. called me , long before the show was ready and asked if this old SERE - POW Inst. sailor, " Mtn Mel " could survive a year in the wilderness ?! A YEAR ?! NOPE. I explained what my 15 yrs experience in SERE / JEST was .
We taught the " 7 Enemies Of Survival " , the mental aspects- to pilots, aircrewmen , riverboat crews , SEALS and more going to VN , etc. ALONE --- isolation, loneliness & boredom are the worse " enemies " in survival . Second is the " give- up - it's " disease . I suggested the Co. ask any ex - POW ( my Cdr was a POW for 7 yrs ). He said , " Mel you can't die , you may want to , but there's a spark within you that flickers . See that bug on the ground- pick him up, he may be your friend or your next meal ! "
Those are the people I worked with and learned from about SURVIVAL skills and the mental factors . ( Yes, I was applying the " water board " in 1967, ha.) AND the simple, basic people like our Negrito P.I. Troopers at JEST taught my Indian wife & son so much . My career , 1959 - 82 , even my VN vacation was all yrs of experience. ALONE ? I was the alone / solo American Advisor in that VN village ! This season 8 has me wondering- Hmmm, a person turns down a " fire ferro rod " for a bow & drill. NOT smart ! And another selects a tarp over the ferro rod . BAD ! And no axe ? WRONG. As a selection person - I sure would wonder about THOSE people's thoughts. I hope the tarp is a " milky, clouded, yellow, white , allowing light in as for " mental aspects " . I believe they have a good Shrink Doc in that Co. ( I would not take a photo of family, etc . Surely it will add to sadness, depression at times . A weak point. ) . Our interagation rooms were " flat back with bright lights, red Commie stars , etc. The Shrink change them to a light, soft blue , a nice couch = WE got more confessions sign , Ha.
Well, I could mumble on - but I watch the show, the people, skills. I evaluate them all, what they use and could do. Interesting . It's an addiction for me - still learning, teaching , sharing in my tipi camp here in Colo. I am not a normal senior at #79 , ha. Never did goofy golf nor foolish football tv . I do practice " 30 ways to make fire without matches ! Yes , the Japanese Fire Wire " for WW- II and my P.I. Negrito " Fire Piston " I traded for in 1965. I still fly my Powered Para- Glider ( and crash ) . You should attend the Utah " Rabbit Stick " Gathering in Sept. I am about the only original Inst from hirst one in 1978. Went for 20 yrs . Just slid out , back to my canyon now . Stop and visit us Buddy ---
Mel & Aussie Blue Heeler - Deweese, Ret. USN 59-82 , SERE / JEST / DEST Inst - Para Rigger , PJ .
( W. Colo.) Few yrs ago I was requested to train 17 countries in a Inst. Conference for the King of Sweden. It was great Comradeship by all. ( and I got called back a second time !)
Thanks for your honesty!
Lol people in the comment section mad because they sat through a long winded video when nobody was forcing them and they made the choice on their own… And actually have the option AND choice to fast forward it to approximately 26 to 29 minute mark of the video where he actually gets to the point LOL you people have no one to be mad but your self.
Edit: he said kicked out BEFORE it started in the title. That’s NOT a lie or clickbait 🙄 how some of you even made it in the gene pool is actually a miracle in itself.
i listened for 5 mins and then read the comments...so much fun!
Don’t watch this video. It’s a click bait. He never actually made it into the snow.
hope they reconsider you for a future season because you handled it with class. and you seem entertaining. some people on the show are all skill, no gab.
Thanks man! Definitely appreciate your encouragement :-)
Thanks for sharing your story. Hopefully you'll get another shot at it.
Unlike most of the comments here, I actually enjoyed the "long" approach to this. You had a lot to say, but more than that a story to tell. I enjoyed this video immensely and subscribed.
Thank you so much for this information. I've applied numerous times for Alone. However I have never received a call back yet. I always wondered if they even saw my email. And I wondered if I could send a video or not.
The crazy thing is I'm actually friends with quite a few of the people on Alone. And Naked and Afraid. I've never asked them how to get on the shows, I always figured if it was meant to be they would find me.
I'm going to apply this strategy for the next casting auditions. Thank you again for the help!
Your going to be big. Great job. 👍
🤞 Thanks so much!!! If I could only figure out the Social media side of things and how to get my videos out there more.
Amen. I wish I could be Dick Proenneke. Just out in the middle of nowhere by myself.
@bali song ouch and a little rude. I guess I should have said by myself with my family.
I do donate plasma. I work 2 jobs. Unfortunately, my wife and kids will not live in a mini van. We are saving up for land currently and have been working on our credit score. The rules for buying land is difficult. Have to have at least half down and a 720 credit score. Just got the credit where I need it. And almost have the money. We set the goal and are working on meeting it now.
u seem like an awesome dude! Wish we could've seen u compete.
You like to hear you talk about yourself and you say much of the stuff twice or more often so the vid is getting to long ....and the almost-story gets more boring with each turn.
One does only have a chance if he fits in the show, you can be a halfgod, but if they dont want to much halfgods, there is no chance for you . .. and remember it is 1:20.000 and if only every tenth is ok for the show (not only for the wild) then it is 1:2.000 still and for this quota you can spring up & down, it is still a lottery. It is not about fitting in the community, it is about fitting in a show named "Alone". And they did not want a version of you, no question with what hints of whoever.
Best shelter, fastest fire ..."i should have been chose". You still dont understand that they always can chose to take the other guy ... for the show? Maybe the dramaqueen of divorce and "I wanted to go to Alaska (but didnt go)" would ave helped ... for the show? Maybe not? So it is next almost ... almost chosen ... I could almost have been interesting enough....
And always in the vids about Alone the same bullshit as "I will not go in depth .. you would specifically prepare" .. What the heck will one prepare for alone? Guess? Will it be singing and dancing? Or shelterbuilding, firemaking, water processing, food gathering and so on?
Appreciate the critique and feedback! I’ll try to work on that in future videos. I don’t use a script and I have a tendency to ramble even when I’m having personal conversations… LOL
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures That is; I'm certain, the reason you were not chosen. I mean you took 40 min to explain to us that you lied in your title. The show is looking for integrity and entertainment. Not self centered liar.
Damn frank you took longer than dude in the video to get to your point 😵💫😭
Great video interesting to hear about your experience
It takes a big man to admit mistakes. Nice job man
Thanks for the encouragement… And thank you so much for watching!
Interesting perspective on why you were not chosen. Thanks for sharing.
To thine own self be true
I enjoyed the video thoroughly!
I agree… You have to stand out and be different. There’s a lot of good information in your video… I have never applied for the show, but I am looking to do so the next time they start excepting emails. My question is do you know about when they normally start excepting applications?
There is a Chanel called epically Indian. The guy talks about his application process. Made it to boot camp but was passed up. He said it was a great experience
i feel like i would win simply because im sick and fucking tired of being broke and working my fingers to the bone for scraps..... i could probably last 80 days on my fat reserves alone. i can hunt and build. and im used to being secluded.. so honestly.. i think id nail it lol.
Thank’s for all your komments. Now idon’t have to see this video! 👍🥇
Now i will go and do someting else instead of wasting time on this content.
Damn I’ve been only getting into the show recently and I’m mid season 3 and you said the winner of it!
Bummer… Sorry dude!
Great vid, I'm over here in SE Michigan
good video, I only ever did the phone interview for season 6 so it was cool to hear your experience. honest question when you did your first phone interview did you feel the person had a strong knowledge of bushcraft/survival? I felt that the person knew what she was looking for but didn't really understand what she was asking. like she didn't realize my "trapping experience" was furbearers not "fish and birds".
I’m happy you made it so far, but honestly I can see why you didn’t make it. Your title is misleading. You weren’t kicked out, you just weren’t selected. That’s a basic misunderstanding of what it takes to make a good UA-cam video. However I think you definitely could have won if you had been selected.
Yeah… It's definitely Clickbait. I obviously know I didn't get kicked off, but thanks so much for watching :-)
Thank you for making this video :)
I mean honestly, season 6 would have been tough to win. I personally think Jordan is the best contestant alone has ever had.
KICKED OUT? Glad you clarified that you weren't really 'KICKED OUT' at all. It saved me from watching click baited 28 mins of bs... sheesh
I want to get on the show so bad. I love survival stuff. And I don't have a wife, girlfriend or any kids. For 500,000 i would do whatever it took to win.
Drat. So close. Perhaps next time
I'll save you time, he didn't get kicked off, he simply didn't get accepted. He didn't apply the way he was supposed to and lied to get a response from history channel. When he went to the boot camp he put on a persona and tried to be just like previous winners of the show. Him being fake and dishonest ultimately lead to them not putting him on the show. But wait! He leaves you with advice you've never heard before... Be yourself! Bravo History Channel! A hacky guy that's not very self-aware trying to be someone else woulda ruined season 6.
Good summary, but disagree with your tone or conclusion. And so would the actual contestants of season 6. Thanks for watching. God bless!
Absolute Dunning-Kreuger Cinema.
Sorry I lost ya in all this nonsense!
FOUND YA AGAIN THOUGH!
Can't wait to see Waypoint Adventures again!
That Hobo fishing reel hooked me!
Lol!
Did Greg ever see it?
Alone is NOT the "chance of a lifetime." The show is a joke! I was contacted to be on Season 1. During the phone "interview" I asked them 2 basic questions. By their answers I knew that they (the production crew) were a joke and complete idiots, and I wanted no part of it. And most of the contestants on the show are complete idiots. There are a few - very few - exceptions to that, but for the most part, complete idiots, and the "boot camp" is another complete joke. Their instructors are morons!
The sole premise of 99.999% of the people who participate on that show is to garner their 15 minutes of fame, and the "fans" give them just that.
"Alone is not fake" Um, yes it is. It's not actual survival as in an actual survival scenario you wouldn't be following stupid hunting laws. The are no laws when it comes to survival.
Also, you literally admit yourself that there a chance you won't be selected and it has nothing to do with knowledge of survival and more to do with your ability to film, act and be entertainment, not a survivalist.
This has all been proven by so called survivalists who claim to teach this exact stuff but can't last a week or start crying about being alone on a show called "alone"
Nearly every person that has went on this show has not even remotely done what needed to be done to survive. There is an order of doing things which is build your shelter, not a temporary shelter and go seek out food which can wait. Next is find a water source and know how to use it (how many idiots on this show who were nearby an ocean used the vapor distilled method to obtain fresh water and leftover needed sodium)? Not a single one and finally, find food. How many built a livewell? None did. How many built a dam to divert, trap and store fish? None.
I don't believe I seen anyone use a bird/squirrel snare lining a branch until the redemption series where dude used it completely wrong.
How many used the stupidity of seagulls to their benefit? A seagull will literally chase anything you throw in the air thereby making them another form of fishing.
How many went out at night when its the best time to go crabbing?
How many who actually brought a bow took the time to scout the area and hunt for one major source of meat that would supply them till the end by smoking it? None did, but there were some who walked directly on a game trail.
It seems the only way to get onto this show is to be a complete emotional moron and that was shown starting in season 2 when they began showing that they had to train these people and only one was actually able to make a friction fire.
You realize that some of the contestants have successfully taken big game, lots of fish, snared hares and squirrels etc?
I’m sure you’re some expert though you would make it 10,000 days and never fail in any way cause you know it all perfectly
Do your own. Only problem is support. Make a video and call it “Alone…by myself”
I know I can do everything that they all could do and more and I could probably get as on the show if I got chosen for the test but I know why you didn't get on the show you repeat things too many times there's a couple of things you said over four times. I know you said you could talk to a camera but buddy can you. There's only one reason why they wouldn't choose me and that's because I'm 71 years old and I've had a stroke. I've been doing Bushcraft and survival since I was 12 years old you do the math. Thanks for your video though I certainly appreciate you sharing that that's pretty interesting yeah I'm sure I could get on there and I'm sure that I could survive but like I said they wouldn't take me because I was so old. See there I go repeating myself. Thanks for the video it was very interesting. Keep your powder dry
Thanks for watching… You might actually have a better chance. Being a middle-aged white male, there’s a lot of competition in that category. However, I bet there would be Some interest in the oldest one ever on the alone show :-)
Alone show producers want you to save the same thing five different ways. They cut down and only use less than 1% of everything you film. It’s much easier to edit when you repeat yourself. They actually instructed us to do that in Boot Camp.
I hate the aspect of shows like this to make it all about riveting people's background stories. I want to watch skills, ability, what the show claims to be. The show tries to not propel stereotypes, yet does just that. Sad we can't have a real survival show, vs soap opera entertainment.
Great video.
In the end Alone is entertainment not a documentary so they follow entertainment rules.
I got the invite for 1 and gave names to leftfield .they told us they were casting
Just get to the point, seven minutes in before getting to the subject.
Thankyou for all the awsm info you shared with us. I have a question Justin. Does Casting select some Contestants they think will quit early? They do need people to quit don't they..
This is a big debate even among contestants… after meeting people at boot camp… I do know that everyone was definitely competent in the woods… it’s hard to really gauge how someone will respond when rubber hits the road!
They’re definitely looking for a variety of personalities… I think that’s priority #1… The longer the show goes, the more it costs… but it’s popular, so they have plenty of $$… I don’t think that’s the biggest consideration!
so helpful thank you!!!!
Only 28 comments? Where are the rest?
This is a great video! It has been very helpful! I am trying to get on the show. I tried for season 8 and 9, but like you I had/have no idea when to apply. I'm still not really sure. Is march always a good time, like it was when you were putting out this video? I don't even know how to find out. I have tried looking it up in a few different ways, but can never seem to find it. My daughter found a thing on the internet, with a link to apply, but I don't think it was at the right time when I sent the emails. And I didn't even send a video. And I was just thinking about my ability to survive, and not really at all about my story. You made me start thinking of things I could say about myself and past experiences, and I think I've got some really good stuff that will make them want to pick me. I sure hope I get on the show! If I do, I'll win, and you will have really helped a lot! Thank you!
This is way too long and way too much bravado. Of course they want the story. If you ever watched one episode there is always a story of the peoples trials in life. Always.
First of all I hope you get another chance to get back on the show. Second I’m sorry that your take away was how you should have acted different to get on the show and not that you are a pastor and don’t know how to be yourself.
Good point… That’s what happens when we turn our attention away from Christ and on the earthly things! We’re all on a journey. That was my spiritual take away! Thanks so much for your comment!
@@WaypointOutdoorAdventures thanks for hearing it. I do hope you get on the show someday. And thanks for the video, tons of good info there.
crazy how many of those in bootcamp, for a TV show had their faces blurred ???
No… I blurred their faces for the thumbnail. They didn’t make it on the show and I did not get permission from them to post their photo.
Have you, and are you still applying?
Not this year... Too much going on the the Bippity-Boppity-Property... LOL
Love your honesty
I wonder how many of these contestants know that their hard earned shelter's are torn down? And I wonder why. There's nothing on or in that shelter that didn't come from the woods. Besides it would give wildlife some shelter and since ALONE takes animals from their habitat, it's only fair to Give Back.
do u get paid even if u don't win? If so, how much?
I have never understood why people want to teach you something and then they say don't try this at home. What is the point of teaching people if you don't want them to try it
No disrespect but I don't trust anyone that wears that clean of hat and thinks they can hang...
😂 The internet is undefeated! His clean hat is a factor huh? 😂
Never ever use gasoline to start a fire...ever the problem is that as laymen we don’t really under stand how fast that gas cloud has spread this is where most people get severe burn and die because the last 10 or 20 times didn’t explode in your face when you struck that match why did this time have a ten foot fire ball all of the sudden. Ask any fire fighter they will beg you not too
The staff of the program group! Please give me half a million after winning the show. Because of my participation in the show. You will still edit my clips. Because I will win 100%. Because I can make a trap. Both men and women can catch large animals. Excuse me, I'm open. Or tell future contestants. How can you continue to make your show? You will definitely edit it. So please give me 100% winning prizes. otherwise. I will make this method public. You won’t be able to edit anymore.
I just wanted to know why half the faced are blurred out and the other half are not but man! Blah blah blah blah guess I'll never know.
LOL… I wanted to protect the identity of the innocent… Ha ha! The ones with their face is not blurred are the contestants who made the show.
I don't want to be on the show. But wow.
Thanks!!!
Did u apply for season 9?
what's the name of the knot at the end? Irish bowlin?
You are right it is about getting food, as weve seen.
No shows or tv or popularity or getting noticed for me... cool stuff. I love life simple as possible... sounds like ya had a heck of an adventure my friend.🐸🍺🤙🔥
Yeah... It wasn't so much the popularity for me... I just wanted the opportunity to go out and see what I could do.
NOTHING with a television producer behind it is "legit". It's the business of selling drama and camping is rarely dramatic.
Dude you talk too much
Confused. Don’t understand how you were kicked off……. Seems like ego got in the way.
So.......you were kicked out? Still waiting to hear why........non-select is not kicked out...rewatching again...what did I miss?
