Any of you watch Alone on the History channel? 

They select 10 people and put them in the wilderness to survive and whoever lasts the longest wins $500k.  A friend mentioned it to me and I watched most of season 2.  It was pretty interesting and entertaining, while also showing the realities of survival in a desolate place.

Each contestant is allowed to choose ten from the following list of approved items.  Along with a set amount of other approved items.  What would you choose? 

In the case of Seasons 1 and 2, the location was Vancouver Island, BC in what looks like starting in the fall.  For this conversation, let's assume the island of Molokai, without any people.   

See the link below for the list of approved and prohibited items.

For the TRACKING/SAFETY, eliminate the striken/crossed out items:

That stuff was so they could film themselves and when the contestant "taps out" or needed an emergency pickup.

Since this is a 2a site, I'll add a choice of ONE (1) of the following combination:

Leather gloves already provided under gloves

Can you bring a mosquito net? From watching naked and afraid it seems like bugs more than hunger really messes you up psychologically.

This is fun.. I actually watch another show called "Naked and Afraid" which I think is more extreme than "Alone".  No food, no water, no clothing.

SNIP

The show nekkid and afraid is 1 man and 1 woman.  Sometimes the woman is a looker and sometimes, not so much. 

There was one episode where this woman was paired with a good looking guy but turned out he was gay.  She seemed kinda disappointed.
