So many here are foragers and #Livinghistorians and #woodsmen and I applaud you all, you are inspirations to so many up and coming kids and young adults out there.
And for that reason I am so proud to announce that I am one of 10 contestants to be picked for Season Tens ALONE SHOW on the #HistoryChannel. A Contest of survival with just 10 items, no help, just us and the Arctic elements.
Living History is important: From Stone Age to Viking, Norman, Celt to F & I, Rev War, Mountain Man, Civil war and World War 11, Each and every one of you teaches by Living the history you are passionate about. ...and I can guarantee that you have all inspired and taught some of what you know to others around you during your events. Living History is AMAZING for that and it's a very powerful tool to have in your survival pack.
First episode is June 8th and I invite you ALL to follow along on the journey! aloneonhistory @Alone @HISTORY

@Melanie Sawyer-Living Historian & Forager of food. I think it's the rawness of it, I've been a big fan for a long time now. Ultimate survival challenge and watching it right now down at me moms house, I don't have TV so I highjacked hers lol.

Didn’t seem right of the producers to play your candid moments. But I do have to say it didn’t show weakness. Quite the contrary. Incredible strength to carry on is what I saw.

Thank you for that. I appreciate it!

if I could have only one item for survival, it would be a two-person, cotton rope hammock. I can contrive a cutting edge from stones, make a container, make fire, make a cover element, and do so quickly, IF I have lots of cordage that I dont have to tediously make. I can make enough netting to feed myself, too. I can swiftly stuff enough debris into the hammock to make an adequate cover element vs rain, wind and cold an often, that is the primary need.

I'm just now watching season 10 and I'm terribly sorry that they used your secret SD card that was pretty low of the producers

Im grinning, thank you for your kind words, I appreciate your empathy!! , its one of those dilemas I guess, I wanted to not show weakenss, to be catagorised as such but at the same time, the experience really does push your bounderies. Ultimately I undersatand that even emotion is part of the show and as much as it was tough to watch that being shown, it WAS part of the journey and I still thank the producers and History Channel for giving me such an incredible opportunity to put my skills to the test.

@@MelanieSawyerForager thank you for explaining how you feel about emotion being part of the show. That, that video was part of your alone journey and how amazing even painful that journey was. I now have a better understanding of why the producers used your video.

you start to lose strength within ONE day of not eating, if you're highly stressed, as in when you're working hard, in cold, wind, dampness. In some areas, at least, the hammock can be employed as as seine in shallow pools, letting you swiftly catch al of the fish in that pool. The net can be set over a den mouth for rabbits, woodchucks, even wart hogs, while you plug all but one other entrance/exit. Then you make a spear and club/digging sticke and dig your way into the remaining entrance The animal will try to flee out of the entranceway that is covered with the net, become entangled and you can then club/spear it. The hammock gets you up off of cold, wet, hard ground, thorns, rocks, bugs. You can unravel the hammock, unravel the resulting rope, and strands and then make many thousands of feet of string out of the resulting threads, and make 1400 sq ft of 2" mesh netting from the string. yes, that takes time, but no, you dont need 1400 sq ft and each days net production can become a baited net weir for fish.
