Every 'comfort item' has to be aproved by the producers, so that it cannot be something actually USEFULL.

Actually, I QUITE enjoy the show... Some of the people realy do surprise you..
Some of the people that SHOULD know what they are doing had a LOT of problems....I think the survival instructer proved to be useless to them(at least in what we were shown)
The 'Camping' lady on this series seems to know what she is doing...Suposedly she has camped all around the world.

The funny thing in the first episode was that the 'natives' brought a big pig to rost and killed it right in front of the ladies and they freaked(all except for the sheperdess..she did not even blink...She sounded like she thought it was funny how the others reacted <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />)
