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.

Surprised you didn't touch upon Japanese Knotweed used for treating Lyme disease. The plant is invasive in some of the worst areas for Lyme disease. Lyme disease or at least the main Lyme bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi, is a spirochete very much like syphilis and is used as one of the main herbs in herbalist Stephen Harrod Buhner's lyme treatment protocol. Buhner just died recently but had cured himself of hepatis C with herbs in the past and survived significantly after. His books are awesome. His science is strong. There is also a website for the lyme if it's still up.

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.

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.
