Last night was the 7th season premier of the outdoor adventure series, "Alone", on the History Channel. This years cast includes our good friend Kielyn Marrone, who with her husband and partner Dave, own the winter adventure company, Lure of the North. Thursday nights, 9 pm Central on the History Channel. |

tg: "I couldn't convince my wife to name our second daughter Kielyn but I tried. I obviously think highly of Ki and will be rooting for her. Those dudes she's competing against would be fools to underestimate her! Yep, she's tough as nails. She's also gorgeous and very charismatic. |

I have nothing on theses people and admire their skill sets and toughness. I was disappointed a gal didn’t win the contest. I think the winner was extremely lucky to kill a musk ox. If the runner up or other gal had caught more fish I think there would have been more than one winner. Remember all they had to do was last 100 days so unless there was some rule we were unaware of they could have had multiple winners. |

One thing that bugged me is they never really explained the rules. What happened if no one made it to 100? Would the last one still get 500k? If 2 or more lasted past 100 days, would they all get paid? Would they keep going until only one was left? Did Roland get 1Mil for 100days AND 500k for being the last one standing? |

I was really happy for Ki - she did great. I’ve never met her, but after watching so many LOTN videos and with the strong connection to Wintertreking and the symposium, I felt like she was “our” team. If only she and/or Callie could have been into the Lakers much sooner (days 30-60) like some of those other guys, they might have held body weight much better and lasted the full time. Just can’t live on rabbits. I could not believe how positive Callie was all the time. Like MidwestFirecraft said, Roland was really in it for the win, and probably lived a life closer to their “survival” situation than anyone else. One tough SOB! Anyone else have fun watching the videos on 10 items and saying “hey, I’ve got that!”? |

On one of the little after shows when they were talking to Roland about the Musk Oz herd he mentioned not wanting to scare them into another contestants territory to help them out. From these two bits of information, is it safe to assume that 1. If no one made it to 100 days, no one gets the payout? 2. If multiple people made it to 100 days, the competition continues? Both of these seem pretty lame IMO. |

awbrown: "Kid told me that she is still recuperating from starving. She has gained back weight, but lost a lot of hair and it is growing back stiff and wire like." Wow, and holy crap. How long after she was out there did you talk to her? I remember noticing when they mentioned at one point that she had dropped 50 lbs. |
