Chris is awesome. As a retired MH clinician in Tassie thank you Chris for telling your story. As a really small close community what you did is huge. The ripple effect is real. You just rippled big time.

Rooting for you Mike and loving the recaps, The loss of the Eel must have been such a hit to morale.

that must have been so devastating to watch it slip away. good to hear you've come up with a game plan for next time. you're so good at learning from experience and tweaking things to make it better.

Just watched ep 8 and don’t want to spoil for anyone but do want to say, bloody good on you mate. You got it sorted out now

"EEL Gate"...watching that scene broke my heart. All freshwater fish species require a landing net because they are slimy, particularly eels. None-the-less, your journey is excellent TV. I'd love for you to do a Q & A. Thanks for putting up this recap.

I’ve been learning a lot off you Mike so thanks heaps. I was hoping to be on season 2 but didn’t get passed the interview stage 😢. Never mind I’ll keep refining my skills and learning as much as I can. I love this stuff anyway.

I’m hoping you get some decent protein soon Mike. You’ve certainly had more close calls with food than anyone else and you’re employing so many great methods. Reminding me of Comsurv solo phase. 😉

So frustrating! 5:01 … makes sense why you spent the most time talking about that damn eel.

Great recap Mike, how do you measure anything you're cooking in the kitchen if your scales are out by 200g? 🤪 PS buy some digital scales.😁

When you lost that eel, the suspense was high and I was like, "WHYY MIKE!!" should have got him straight in your hands and ripped his head off!! Didn't see the slope though :) Loving the show, great to see you are having some more success this week. I wonder why you haven't set up a number of snare traps (as many as pos) and also why you aren't running more fishing lines around the clock? Also, did you consider putting out food and just waiting with a spear for possums?

Continue what you're doing precise we all love your aura continue what you're doing that's why we love your aura your precise with the natives have fun that's great you cannot be precise with the natives LOL with your canoe it they need a driver's LOL I'm happy you enjoying life that's all we love you continue amen you're awesome continue more

I wonder if you'll bait fish for trout from the kayak. I did a lot of eel fishing as a kid, and wrestled with them. They're difficult to kill or stop from moving. Trick I learned myself is to wack them from head to tail.

Missus said you should have used your hat for the eel.

Eels never spit the hook they swallow it to the point were you can't retrieve them .

I’m really curious to hear more about the 10 items. How that all worked. Did you have to pay for it all? Could you bring stuff from home? It can’t be modified can it?

Thank you Mike for telling the story of our white history. Palawa allies are important. I learn more all the time. I'm in awe of palawa continual resilience to continue conversation.

Dude your Eel adventures have been hilarious, hope to see more of that. Your smoker was something I had not seen before, nice solution. Eels dude, I'm kind of curious why it took you so long to figure out, I would have thought with your experience, the Kiss principle would have been the card you played from the get go. I'm also curious what were the 40 items on the list, I don't trust what's been posted on the web cause salt isn't included in those lists, are you able to talk about that? So far Iv called all the departees, though my estimate on how long they would stay, I over estimated by a long shot. My money is on Michael next to go, "Faith" in its true context means "without doubt," and I've yet to meet a Christian or any believer for that matter that isn't full of doubt and fear. My money is still on Gena to be last person standing, her language and manner are grounded in the now and not focused in fears. Mike your body type, mindset and language seems to say your playing a losing hand, but as Hayfor pointed out "the editing," paints a Picasso.

Would sliding the eel just out of the water and then smacking it over the head a few times in quick succession kill it and make it safe to move from the waters edge? NGL I screamed when that eel got away, looking forward to seeing the rest of your adventure!

Thought you were going to say kill the eel with the knife at the waters edge and then work out getting up the slope with it while things are calmer. But yeah the net would have been ace right then.

Hey Mike, I thought everyone would target yabbies as an easy food source, speaking to others and they thought the same thing. I googled and found that fishing yabbies is illegal in tas, might be worth touching on that topic if this was they case. Cheers.

I'm booked with my family continue what you're doing I love it I love your GPS upgraded I wish I was on that boat 2 let's stay in touch I've done the Caribbean islands St Lucia pitons France Netherlands Amsterdam I love the way you talk and your movement and body we're on the same boat together planet Earth yes your angel 😇😇😇😇❤️

Don't sweat it Mike, I doubt all the eXpErTs would do anywhere near as well as you when it came down to it.

What do you do for toileting? Do you get toilet paper?

Please don’t feel the need to have an excuse or reason for every fail. We all have them. In a way it takes away from the other contestants by not just saying they are doing better than you at getting food. It’s almost a form of toxic positivity to act as though you have an answer for everything. Inspire others by saying you are doing your best and failing but preserving. Hope to see you have success this week.

The softest alone season ever ... im sorry for my poor choice of word i did not want to upset anyone brave enough to go on the show. I feel the producers put mostly people that have no chance of winning. They are being used and this is un ethical. The top 2 are so far ahead its just a joke.

Finally Chris is out I am tired every time they show him they have to bring up what he is going thru like i mix tape We have hear you so move on. Thank god he is out now I dont need to forward everytime he is on.
