Default Alaska Out of the Wild

Did anybody see this show? It was on Discovery channel and it was really good. I am not sure when It came on I watched it on Netflix. It was 10 people when they started out trying to survive the Alaskan wilderness pretty neat!

There's something about Alaska that just appeals to me. It always has. Maybe it's all the wide, open spaces, or the night that last, what, 6 months?

I've seen it. It was pretty good. Not sure if I've seen all episodes or not though. I would love to try it.

I caught this on Netflix too and we have watched it a couple of times when we couldn't find anything else to watch. I love the concept but I don't know that I would want to try it in Alaska.

I would love to try something like that in Alaska. It sounds both challenging and fun at the same time. And the cold? well, you just layer up.

Alaska is truly the last frontier. I also would like to have this challenge but I'm afraid of the bears. I do hope that the participants of this show are safe from the bears.

I have been to Alaska three times during the summer months. it's absolutely amazing. I could easily spend my summers up there. Not too sure about the winters though. Not much of a snow person myslef. Think I'd head off to Panama for the winter.
