My family and I recently started watching a show called Alone on Netflix. It is all about surviving on your own in the wilderness of British Columbia. It’s shocking to me that people are actually willing to go on this show- fighting starvation, grizzly bears (and other wildlife), hypothermia, etc.. just for a small chance of being the longest lasting contestant and winning $500,000.
It’s entertaining to hear my daughters thoughts on this show- she talks about how she would help catch fish and forage for mushrooms to help feed us if we were ever in this position. She talks about the shelter she would build in the forest to keep us safe. Such a sweet, innocent view of this experience.
I know for a fact that I would be crying and begging to go home within the first hour. I can’t even handle a night of camping in a safe place with a tent, water, food, air mattress, etc.. I don’t even like going outside of my own home when it is dark enough, I can’t imagine being outside in the middle of the night with deadly wildlife.
Anyway, this is how we spent most of our day today- avoiding the snow/cold and binge watching shows on Netflix. I’m thankful for Sundays without plans to have time to rest and relax before the craziness of Monday hits.
