Did anyone watch History's Alone?

Am I the only one here that watched the History Channel's series "Alone"? I really loved season 1 and season 2. If you have not seen them, i recommend you download and watch. Extremely interesting TV.

Season 1 was better than 2 because of Alan Kay being absolutely hilarious and tough as nails. Season 2 was cool because of the additional survival techniques that the participants brought to the show. I don't think they can get away with doing it in the same place three seasons and keep wondering if they will go to a warmer environment where hunting will be the food source rather than fishing.

The winner this year was somewhat of a boring guy but he deserved to win since he continually figured out how to eat out there. I was hoping the woman would win but changed my mind after she let a huge fish go because she thought she had enough food at the time.

Season 1 was much better I thought also. Seems the conditions or weather wasn't as tough in season two. Alone 3 will be in a different location for season 3.

Btw, the first guy to cap out who served in the military, must have been dropped off in the most populated Bear territory. Every where he looked to set up was fresh Bear Scant, then he said a Bear charged him and he ran to the shore pushing the cap out button. He didn't even make a day, but if a Bear charged me I'd probably do the same.

I was going to watch but then forgot about it. I don't flip through the History Channel much anymore when it became the Pawn Stars and American Pickers Channel.

I highly encourage watching season one. The guy who eventually wins it is what I think Shmuley must be like in real life.

I watched most of it but missed the episode where the woman tapped out. What was her reason for calling it quits? She seemed to be cruising to the final 2.

So you noticed that too. I just checked and today they're the Mountain Men Channel. So they canned History II and add Viceland ... and there's not a good show on that one at all. I liked History and History II when they had Ancient Aliens and UFO Hunters on all the time .... They've definitely taken some giant steps backward.

I get that history isn't very entertaining but some of those shows are not even relevant. The documentarys they've done over the years are great. I just hate that they got away from it. Vietnam and WW2 In Color and many others were incredible.

I think that Spanish guy pussed out. So, he "falls" in his canoe after he removed his outriggers after making a big deal about having and testing them a few episodes before, happened to have his tap-out beacon in his jacket while everyone else on the show keeps it in their pack, and waited waist deep water for the rescue team....yeah, that guy knew he was going the minute he woke up that morning.

I feel for the runner up guy, but the winner deserved it.

this season was much more bushcraft oriented.

also, that man-woman person that was a cop, was that a dude that "transitioned" to a female? Not sure what was going on there and the Bears scared it away before I got answers.

Her resources for food took a big hit when frost got the plants she was eating and her fish in the gill net she was catching dried up as well. I think the biggest thing was her missing her kids.
