50 days in the woods cold turkey is amazing. i think he did above and beyound to survive. i know i would have died in 3 days. learning skills and getting your mind right takes half a lifetime or more. its like taking a domesticated cat and putting it out in the jungle. it would die.
I don't get it... if they went through all the energy and expense for the show... why did they pick someone who needs human contact so much. I know it's not easy but there are people who are able to handle this and share their knowledge on how to survive this type of situation. Too much emotion and not enough focus on survival. Maybe that was their goal.
people seem to gloss over what he achieved...Ed had many challenges, the main one was a lack of human contact which was too much in the end....we all have different strengths and weaknesses, some might have done better, some worse...but this is a great story for Ed and how he tackled his situation, his strengths and weaknesses, and grew as a person....I give him 10 out of 10....
He did survive without getting killed lost or sick, indeed. What I don't understand is that he wasn't complaining much about rain or food or being in the wild, he wanted to talk to people, he wanted to hug someone. He could have gone through the same depression alone at home I guess. I'm no survival expert, but a show with someone who actually knew how to survive would be a little more interesting, maybe.
He should have done the show in Alaska---then maybe he would have been allowed to actually hunt big game. I may be wrong...but I have feeling that Canada may have more laws on hunting and such.
@ALB1937 If he had gone in season he could have had tags for a Moose, a white tail doe and buck as well as a Mule. That would have gotten him through winter. He would have also been allowed to build a small cabin on skids. Maybe better planning next time. I would love to see him go back and try again. It would be great to see him succeed with results that were beneficial to him. I get a sense he was left feeling defeated. Get back on that horse!
@Lean540 Good to know. Too bad Wardle didn't take advantage of a hunting season. I wish he would have specified that it was because of the hunting season and lack of tags...and not just "Canadian law". He made it sound like you're not allowed to hunt big game at all, in Canada.
@Lean540 That would be great if he went back and tried it again, especially if he had hunting-tags, etc. Although, I think lack of 'human contact' would get him again. Maybe if someone just stopped by every two weeks to (only) do a medical-check on him, that would be enough...not to mention, make sure he didn't die for a show.
@ALB1937 I'm with you, he should try again. I personally think he did great, considering he had not much of a background in it. There are many people that would have made that call long before two weeks. I think as long as you give anything your best shot thats all a man need do. He deserves credit for giving it a go.
@Lean540 Exactly. 50 days without getting hurt, sick, lost, killed, following the law (even when he could have got away with it), not committing suicide, etc, etc. Yes, I'd say he gave it a damn good shot. The crap-talkers on here wouldn't last a week, especially since their lives revolve around putting-down others.
Well done Sir! approx 23.000 people that probably have the same dream of trying what you have done. I know i fantasize about it a whole lot. Considering that you stayed lawabiding, i´d say this was a success. Great job :)! Now im hungry...
@MadMatt105 - he captured those emotional moments AFTER spending hours and hours, day after day, looking for food you jack wagon! I doubt you'd last an hour camping in your own back yard without your mommy.
@steve51704000 I went to air assault school, jungle operations training, and Sapper school in the Army and went overseas 3 times. When I canoe and camp down the rivers where I live I don't even take food. I do just fine even without my mommy.
@mariokra ive been at peace all my life, you sir are attempting to draw attention away from the stupid comments that you made. im not gonna entertain that. sorry not happening. your acting like a child. anyways man hope you enjoy life, G.O.A.L
@excanmil13 hahaha awesome dude i just noticed this, btw just for the hell of it, FROM: planet eartth, weighing in at186 pounds standing at 6'2 you have ShadowCompanySW:P
@mariokra well because of the mtv society that 80 percent of this world now lives in and thanks to the american "dream" most ppl dont have the mindset to do more then play video games and go to clubs. i dont see why everyone is bashing on this guy seeing as i see no proof that you have ever even attempted say a week in th ewild alone. it is not easy, and it will truely show you who you are. please keep that in mind. we live protected lives nowadays and ppl need to break through that barrior.
@Lean540 I've spent weeks of solitude in the wilds of the Yukon never seeing one person and feeling totally at home. Sorry, I didn't feel the need to film it since it I didn't consider it a challenge like the city slicker in this vid. If he was with me and started crying way back in the woods he would be on his own. Btw, I got my name because of my 20 inch biceps. I could pop your head like a grape and you couldn't do a thing about it. You know what I mean son?
@Meathead36 maybe you need to spend some more time out there contemplating how you treat your fellow man. I see you pretend to be a Christian, I wonder if Jesus would approve of your behaviour? Although I happen to be Atheist, I know your religion well enough to know that a real Christian would not approve, let alone behave that way. As far as popping my head, well, maybe you should have checked me out a little better before making that statement. ;)
@Meathead36 forgot to mention, you got your name because you are obviously a meat head, it has nothing to do with your arms. If your friends are telling you its because your arms are huge, and that big arms are somehow a measure of how you may be able to pop someones head, they are lying to you. But you knew that right? I was going to say, you have probably had your ass handed to you many times before talking like that but, we both know this is the only place you do that, right tough guy? ;)
@Lean540 I’d like to drop you and your boyfriend from this vid in the middle of the Yukon. I’d return a year later to see a skeleton bent over a log with another skeleton affixed to the ass bones by his pelvic his bones with a note stating “that terrible Meathead from Youtube abandon us”. The woods are for men, especially the Canadian woods. Don’t ever forget that boy.
@Meathead36 You get cuter by the minute, Meatstick. I am seriously considering making you my new chew toy. Oh what fun we will have................ :)
awesome video. the realities of living in the wild. this vid showed me what i have always known that it's not a good idea to go into the wilderness alone. i think you are crying because you desire freedom, love and happiness, but it's hard to achieve. i dream of being in the wilderness all of the time, but i know i can't go out on my own...
All of us want to do what he did. but not many of us would last as long. When you spend all day thinking about what you are going to eat and finding nothing you then reflect to happier times. Those happier times sometimes tend to seem so happy at the point of depression that all you can think of then is those happy times. It's all you wish for. It consumes you. The yearning for human contact if nothing else to whine to another person sometimes can become unbearable. I say Good Job My Man.
seems to me, like this guy spent too much time THINKING instead of DOING!.. he didnt keep busy so he slowly lost his mind.... also, this person seems to be deeply rooted and connected to every day life in "normal society".. perhaps someone who is less envolved in "society" would fare better in this situation? Overall; too much crying, and not enough focus on survival. this guy failed big time at the mind game... i didnt like this
I think, that one of the major reasons of him, feeling bad, was the camera - he couldn't change his way of thinking, way of perception, because of importance to stay at another dimention of conversations to a viewer.
What kinds of things do people discuss - their routine issues; and what else could he discuss, but lack of food. That gave him the negative mindset, which pushed him into whining, instead of constant attempts to search and preserve food, make his camp cozy and convenient.
You have taken an incredible journey my friend - one that many have not yet been able to sum-up the courage to experience. Remember, if the “whistle was blown” at 50 days 1hr 37 sec… you only have spend 50 days 1 hr 38 sec to break your personal best, allow your hear and sole to accept that and the world will be your oyster
good job ed... i enjoyed watching this... i would have been difficult for anyone.. not being allowed to use all the resources out there... and bear grylls would have filmed during the day and slept at a hotel at night
Bear Grills will eat him alive, Bear Grills will catch a salmon, Bear Grills will catch moose with bare hands, tear his horns off and eat them only boiled :)))))
all the cheese he ate, hell he won't shit for the next 50 days. The title of that flick will of course be "Alone in the shitter" and he'll fail at that and have to call in a rescue finger to get in there and dig it out for him, all the while, he'll be doing his boo hooing.
having expirenced something like it my self and telling him theirs food but you cant thch it that's a crock of shit yes he could of done more perporation and study / fild experance before he attempted it but that's not the point is it
Please tell why you take the challenge in the first place... are u living the high tech work ....enviroment life..... makes me wonder why...i wish to be in wild
this made me reailize that life can be hard, thanks ED, my hat is off to you, and it takes a real man to show the feelings that you did, you did a outstanding job on you video and your trip to the wild, best regards to you, now marry your girl firend,
Thank you for sharing your dream with us and don't pay any attention to the people who leave comments about you being emotional. They sit in their own little comfy rooms, from where they go to a supermarket to buy the food which has been killed and processed for them. Judging a guy who has the guts to live his dreams, from their little comfy zone is pretty naive.
Ed, you've done an extraordinary thing which only a few are courageous enough to actually do. Hunt a dream like this needs A LOT of bravery. Leaving everything behind and go out for 50 days.. I think no one in here actually realize how much 50 days in the wild are.
Ed is no Dick Proeneke, but still had a nice wild trip... I really enjoyed Ed adventure and feel sorry he didnt make till the end, but he can allways learn some more wilderness survival skills and try again in the future. i would!
i think id have faired better then this dude simply because i hate ppl .. . i have no friends, no girl, and my family is . .. well lets just say i could go a few months without them. plus, id have killed both moose and that deer thing he found. id have also eaten a lot more of the wild life. like a lot of other ppl have said, he missed more then a few of the goodies out there. other then that he did very well and maybe in some regards he did better then i could ever do.
What a pussy this guy is , if you can't handle it just phone someone to get you out but please stop whining and crying , i feel sorry for the 2 porcupines that had to die so this wretch can cash in . What a failure , i keep thinking about those prisoners i read about in Gulag Archipelago who survived years in north east siberia , wonder if they were crying all the time .
Bushcraft is more than learning to build shelters and finding food. It's also finding peace with yourself and the world around you. Mr. Wardle seems to have failed the mental aspect of his challenge. Not that many can but hopefully he has a better sense of self now.
@SquareGameplay Of course he stays in the wild for 3-4 days max... Why the fuck should he stay in wild any longer, you tell me. maybe like this guy that tried to prove he can survive longer? well he proved the opposite... he can`t...
btw. one click, this guy was out of danger... he had his crew also (and a lot of supplies)
Check out Lars Monsen. One year in the Wild mostly alone with his dog. Similar climate in Lapland (Norway, Sweden and Finland). And he's enjoying all of it :)
I think people don´t get this show isn´t about surviving in the wild. Alone in the wild is about being alone...without any living soul within a couple of hundred miles...without anyone to talk to....just being there with only your thoughts... and no one to share it with... I respect Ed for his tv show that shows the world what happens in total solitude and isolation....
He should really try it again, im sure he have learned alot. You can do as must research as you want, doing stuff is another thing, and its kinda cool taking this average guy from our world and going into the wilds. Just shows how much we take for granted.
Worst suvival series Ive seen todate, basically giving the impression that surviving in the wild is something few humans can do cos its so hard. Learn how to survive, then make a tvprogram where u test ur skills.
The only thing this show proves is that this guy didnt do enough research to survive in the Yukon, he cries like a baby, and he was physically and emotionally unprepared for this adventure. Why would you go live in a place full of bears if youre so terrified of them you cant even sleep...i cant imagine that even if he was able to shoot large game that he would have know what to do with it to make it last longer than a few days. What a waste of production money
Interesting documentary! I felt for the man, seeing that he misjudged the harshness of the land a bit. Something I wonder about, why choose pineforrests?? They are the worst kind of environment to live in. The soil type isn't that good (acidic) to find much food, and as a result not much animal life. Oh and about 'kill the Elk' people....tell me, what are you going to do with more then a hundred kilo of meat?? That makes the pork butchering childsplay. You'll ruin the meat before you can eat it
Docu proves that human can not survive in the nature.Eat only fish? sometimes catch no fish at all :DSo where the rabbits and other animals? nowhere! because there is nothing for human so? this kind Forrest is ONLY meant for animals to live.Only animals can survive in the nature, whitout nothing,and animals only know where to find food! And if u haven family , don't go to this kind of adventure , becouse you make you self only depressief and later you only cry all the time only! :D
I admire Ed's efforts and commend the right decision to SOS, but i would hope to God that in a REAL survival situation that you would drop the camera equipment and you shoot and eat the big game. I would hope that in a REAL survival situation that you, as a creature of Earth, respect the animals that sustain you and use the brain you have been given to survive.
“The wild doesn’t care if I’m here or not, doesn’t care if I have enough food or not, doesn’t care if I’m lonely, it doesn’t care if I’m so miserable I start going insane. The wild is just here, it’s the wild.” Ed Wardle.
I dont see how a young college student like Chris Mccandless could live in the wild for 113 days with only a 10 lb bag of rice while keeping his sanity....but this man who has climbed mount everest and has more tools than he can even carry only lasts 50 days and goes crazy
The great Norwegian LARS MONSEN made the journey canada across.....he spent 3 yrs !!! Yes he did meet people along the way...and did travel with some dogs...but still...He spent way more than 50 days in solitude at times...6 months at a time all by himself...! Thats being wild !!
@yogiAFC A true Norwegian seen his series and read his book on the alaska crossing all exelent but he grew upp in these kinds of testing enviroments had great planning and top skills and surveyed local knowledge etc+ the stamina for atleast 2 persons! this guy didnt realy have anny of these things + al that noice he makes on land and inn the water reduces his chanses of catching annything greatly he only managed to kill anything that couldnt escape aka the porcupines folloving the rules .
I don't think people gave this guy enough credit. I mean it wasn't as if he was on the verge of dying, he was just severely depressed and lonely. I think if he had a partner or just someone to talk to he would have made it just fine.
I think this documentary is much closer to the truth than other documentaries. Being an ordinary person without any special skills this is what you gonna get if you try to do the same.
he seriously should have just stayed in the spot he had first.....ahhhhh he had fish whenever he wanted it, squirrel, birds, porcupine, maybe some edible plants would have been way better than where he was =O
@00Avenger17 Yea he should have , but I have a strange feeling that it wasnt his idea to leave the first spot ... The production house maybe wanted him to leave , and explore , so it would be more interesting for the viewers ... O well , he did a good job .... And as I said in one of my previous posts on his videos , if i saw a moose , or a deer walking close to me , and i was hungry , and cold , and , i that i am not allowed to kill it, i would lost my mind , got my riffle , and shot it ...
Now i finally realized what the REAL surviving in the wild looks like. I was watching bear grylls he made it seem sooo easy but he has a 5 - 10 man crew. This is real surviving. Thank you soo much for this. I wouldn't make it even with 10 tons of food and 10 miniguns lol...
Les Stroud (Survivorman) always stressed psychological aspects of survival. He said that that sometimes it is more challenging than physical part. It was hard to believe for me until I saw this show. Thank you, Ed!
3 months was simply too much for him, i knew it since the beginning. It's not because he's a weak person, it's not for the heavy equipment or his continual crying; in my humble opinion it was his mental attitude and lack of knowledge for this specific environment. Also his building skills needs to be refined, that was a vertical wall not a shelter. It can keep you warm reflecting the fire heat but is useless against rain and wind. Much respect for him, alive 50 days in really hell conditions.
Awesome. Excellent shots all throughout. Would have liked more bushcraft lessons, however, the product he came up with, although different from what I expected, absolutley pulled me in. Outstanding.
Dick Proeneke is a different man than this man. What we watched here is the unfolding of bush fever that began as soon as he arrived. Bush people know this can happen in hrs when someone is lost. Ed was never lost & the challenge is not to Ed real as he is constrained by not being able to hunt large game or build cabin. This is unnatural in Yukon setting. I think he was in the high country & salmon don't run that high up. To me this is a good example as I always tell people about our bush.
@Tossdart I have all my life lived in a town, with cities close by, the computer, Internet there always being food, and until I was old enough to go out hiking and backpacking on my own I never felt out of place in the woods or mountains. I think this is because I have always loved the wilderness. There have been many people I met who live just like you who think I will be a total wuss because I come from civilization but they always have to apologize because they viewed me wrongly.
50 days in the woods cold turkey is amazing. i think he did above and beyound to survive. i know i would have died in 3 days. learning skills and getting your mind right takes half a lifetime or more. its like taking a domesticated cat and putting it out in the jungle. it would die.

Ed's inexperienced, but he's trying, and learning.

Les Stroud is a fellow Canadian and my second favorite. And he even admits that he gets training when he goes to an unfamiliar region. Smart idea.
Ray Mears is good. He taught some Amazonian indians how to start fire with a stick in one episode. I felt kind of embarrassed for the Indians.

Overall; too much crying, and not enough focus on survival. this guy failed big time at the mind game... i didnt like this

I think, that one of the major reasons of him, feeling bad, was the camera - he couldn't change his way of thinking, way of perception, because of importance to stay at another dimention of conversations to a viewer.
What kinds of things do people discuss - their routine issues; and what else could he discuss, but lack of food. That gave him the negative mindset, which pushed him into whining, instead of constant attempts to search and preserve food, make his camp cozy and convenient.

Thank you for sharing your dream with us and don't pay any attention to the people who leave comments about you being emotional. They sit in their own little comfy rooms, from where they go to a supermarket to buy the food which has been killed and processed for them. Judging a guy who has the guts to live his dreams, from their little comfy zone is pretty naive.

Bushcraft is more than learning to build shelters and finding food. It's also finding peace with yourself and the world around you. Mr. Wardle seems to have failed the mental aspect of his challenge. Not that many can but hopefully he has a better sense of self now.

I think people don´t get this show isn´t about surviving in the wild.

I respect Ed for his tv show that shows the world what happens in total solitude and isolation....

The only thing this show proves is that this guy didnt do enough research to survive in the Yukon, he cries like a baby, and he was physically and emotionally unprepared for this adventure. Why would you go live in a place full of bears if youre so terrified of them you cant even sleep...i cant imagine that even if he was able to shoot large game that he would have know what to do with it to make it last longer than a few days. What a waste of production money
zackdmb 1 year ago
Interesting documentary! I felt for the man, seeing that he misjudged the harshness of the land a bit. Something I wonder about, why choose pineforrests?? They are the worst kind of environment to live in. The soil type isn't that good (acidic) to find much food, and as a result not much animal life. Oh and about 'kill the Elk' people....tell me, what are you going to do with more then a hundred kilo of meat?? That makes the pork butchering childsplay. You'll ruin the meat before you can eat it

And if u haven family , don't go to this kind of adventure , becouse you make you self only depressief and later you only cry all the time only! :D

Deep respect for Ed! I do agree he did maybe n ot prepare for all, but it is so easy to talk from the sideline. SOme questions that came up for me:
1. why didnt he make tea from pineneedles, so he would have gotten enough vitamine C?
2. why didn;t he build a raft to cross the lake, instead of risking his life in that barren terrain?
3. why didn;t he make a better shelter as a homebase?
4. why didn;t he use bushcraft technics?
5. why didn;t he make some sort of dams in the river to catch fish
eenlaatstekans 1 year ago
I admire Ed's efforts and commend the right decision to SOS, but i would hope to God that in a REAL survival situation that you would drop the camera equipment and you shoot and eat the big game. I would hope that in a REAL survival situation that you, as a creature of Earth, respect the animals that sustain you and use the brain you have been given to survive.

And as I said in one of my previous posts on his videos , if i saw a moose , or a deer walking close to me , and i was hungry , and cold , and , i that i am not allowed to kill it, i would lost my mind , got my riffle , and shot it ...

srbinbrate 1 year ago
3 months was simply too much for him, i knew it since the beginning. It's not because he's a weak person, it's not for the heavy equipment or his continual crying; in my humble opinion it was his mental attitude and lack of knowledge for this specific environment. Also his building skills needs to be refined, that was a vertical wall not a shelter. It can keep you warm reflecting the fire heat but is useless against rain and wind. Much respect for him, alive 50 days in really hell conditions.

Dick Proeneke is a different man than this man. What we watched here is the unfolding of bush fever that began as soon as he arrived. Bush people know this can happen in hrs when someone is lost. Ed was never lost & the challenge is not to Ed real as he is constrained by not being able to hunt large game or build cabin. This is unnatural in Yukon setting. I think he was in the high country & salmon don't run that high up. To me this is a good example as I always tell people about our bush.

@Tossdart I have all my life lived in a town, with cities close by, the computer, Internet there always being food, and until I was old enough to go out hiking and backpacking on my own I never felt out of place in the woods or mountains. I think this is because I have always loved the wilderness. There have been many people I met who live just like you who think I will be a total wuss because I come from civilization but they always have to apologize because they viewed me wrongly.
