>as for signing up: i'd LOVE to spend a few months in Alaska, but i won't even bother with this. i'm short, chunky, hairy, well-muscled, and know how to get along outdoors. In other words, perfectly suited for actually living in a cold climate, and therefore exactly the OPPOSITE of what they're looking for. Like BOBS said, sticking people in a harsh climate who are well suited for that climate doesn't make for very entertaining television.


In the first series the less suitable you were, the easier they made it for you. The chap with two daughters got a cabin another couple just got a tent in the coldest wettest place they could find for them.
The threesome had firewood and food to sit out the rest of the series easily; so suddenly they were off on a hike.
Go ahead and apply Erik! Just don't be suprised who gets the heaviest load :-).
