Alone "Australia". What the actual fark? Season one was in a place that was unrepresentative of 99.999% of Australia and now season 2 is in NZ. I kid you not...

I actually like that it’s in New Zealand - Means they can actually kill something and survive and make it interesting - You can’t put them in the heat cause water and death so to create adversity that means the cold - and the cold has nothing you can legally kill in Aus that’s easy to find.

Its a country that has the most bitey things EVER, sea, land, air... a lot of things can fuck you up. Though shooting a marmot, squirrel, Beaver etc is all good in the original Alone. Even Bears, Deer, Moose, Musk Ox, Cougars etc...
Here, faark... Imagine shooting a Billby, Possum or Platypus here. You'd be strung up, fined and jailed.

I think they could have found an outback location with enough rabbits and goats to keep it interesting. Maybe even along some river for some fishing too.
The friend of a friend did the location scouting for season 1 and apparently it was a big pain to find anywhere suitable but if it's not representative of Australia then why bother? There's got to be some big properties up north that have a river through them and plenty of feral animals.
I've got no problem with NZ but call it Alone NZ.

Ok own up, how many badgers, foxes and hares did you blast in Ireland?

I'll bet he inflates how many of all these categories he has blasted and boasts that they were all on tap in the BillyBoy rave dayz.

Canberra has lots of rabbits and carp, quite a few abandos that have asbestos in them as they are historic/waiting for tradies. New patches of rabbits everywhere at the moment as they aren't allowed to bait certain areas so means a run home on a motorbike at night or late arvo is waiting for trouble.

Decided to give hte bike a once over before a ride this weekend.
Checked and topped up pressures on tyres and shocks. Mixed up pressure for the fork because pikes run pretty low pressure apparently. Anyways it was obviously over pressurised and I noticed on the trail. Too scared to depressurise it trailside because it's smll volume and i might accidently go from 95psi to 40 with one press (it's happened before). Teeth chattering all the way down. I think in an attempt to fix it, I reached all new low pressures on the tyre and thankfully it didn't roll off.

They were different times Poods, people used to hunt for food because they would otherwise starve.

I don't disagree I personally said the same thing as soon as we started this season WTF why in NZ - But Australia is just not practical - they only want to create the illusion you might die not actually have you die - the "Outback" or even fringe outback will fuck you up so quick you are dead before they get to you. That's not even allowing for Drop Bears.
One thing I hated about the first season was the attrition created by the inability to get sustainable food - Even a battle of wills and mind don't count as they yank you on medical.

They should get Spanian to scout locations. I'd like to see some of them survive in those dangerous wastelands.

It just validates the often overlooked fact that NZ is the 7th state of Australia. Even Wikipedia acknowledges it...

Well there you go...apparently the solution to knife crime is tougher knife laws, which it seems just means bigger fines if you are caught with a knife. The last time I purchased plastic knives from Woolworth or Coles I had to have an attendant approve that i was old enough to buy a knife. Well actually with the end of plastic cutlery this may not be a problem anymore.
I'm glad people aren't just wandering around with knives and I am glad that you need to have a pretty darn good reason to have one with you if you are. Fines aren't much use if you don't get caught.
I once rode through one of the meth head slums here en route to the forest to clear some lantana. I had my knee+shin pads on, gloves, helmet, and my khukri strapped to my chest. A police car drove along next to me for a little while then rather than ask me "what's up with knife?" They just drove away. Having been pulled over in the area plenty of times for no reason, in this instance I was a little disappointed they didn't just make sure I wasn't on my way to a rival dealers house.
