I've watched this show quite a few times when I'm able and one thing is very clear- Unless you have your shit together, you're not going to make it very long in the wilderness just by fishing and trapping. There is such a thing called Rabbit starvation. UNLESS you have a hunting rifle, or you're an off the grid, badass Alaskan that's done that shit for a long time, etc. Even the winners of that show attest to how difficult it truly is getting enough calories to do even the littlest chores around camp. I've seen many who do not get enough fats in their diet, etc. Almost all of them have lost a ton of weight from lack of food.
OR You're not too far from a town and can take supplies back to camp. I've spent the past 2 months out in the woods and It's been really amazing, but fucking HARD.
Even Dick Proenneke had supplies flown in to his remote cabin. The super hardy are few and far between. It's a very rewarding, but tough life.
