Totally agree. I'm not even an 'outdoorsman' and I know that. Just the shear size should make clear they're something other than rats.
Sheer.
(Ironic, isn't it?)
Yikes, guess I'm not even much of a linguist either...
Don't hate on yourself, you just miss Nikolaj so, so much.
Mama always said, "Life is like a basket of stuffed rats. You never know which one the marten is going to get when you've got lost taking a leak behind your shelter."
Iām pretty sure he knows the differenceā¦itās just that redneck way of saying it.
So thereās a mouse called a kangaroo rat. Theyāre a very prevalent and very often seen rodent, wherever they live. More so than other rodents. Itās my only guess as to why he does that.
Did you notice the show calling them rats in the notes?? LOL.
OMG I wish he would talk about his other kids equally (I don't think it's just the editing).
Or maybe his poor wife for crying out loud.
I've read that his other children are his stepchildren. Nikolai is his only biological child.
He should still give a shout out to the other members of the family though. Instead of sounded suicidal because he missed Nikolai's fifth birthday.
That just makes it worse
He might, it just didn't make it into the show.
There's hundreds of hours of footage that are scanned for usable stuff and only a tiny amount gets used.
Good point. It's possible the producers just decided to milk the 'my poor autistic child' angle and that he in fact talked about other family members.
Thanks for the scarce support for my observation.
He spoke about his wife on the most recent episode - 10 I think? It was sweet how he said sheās a wonderful cook and āwill make me anything I ask for.ā
Pretty sweet that "she cook good. anything me like." is the only thing he bothers to mention about her.
No, he also said she āgave up her lifeā to take care of their son and was a loving family woman (Iām paraphrasing). I just thought the āsheāll make me anything I wantā was cute and endearing. Iām weird like that.
Just like a second mother.
I just keep imagining him belting out "CAPTAIN CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"
(sorry, that's way off topic).
So many men see their wives this way. As substitute mothers.
My brain also
I mute the show when heās on. Tired of hearing about āratsā, eating the rat brains and the son. If he wins after doing no fishing and little hunting by subsisting on rats, Iām done with the US version of Alone.
Same I say it every single time š¹
So do I. And my husband doesnāt get it because he doesnāt watch b99 with me
Bless you for getting it š¤£
Maybe he should spend less time making stupid toys his kid will play with for two seconds and more time fishing? That would help him stay longer which will help the kid more. And I'm not sure how someone so supposedly educated in the outdoors can't tell the difference between a rat and a mouse.
Bahahahaha perfect
Came here for this.
Fast forward over this guys survival technique : fishing. For sympathy.
Too true.
Hahahaha
He needs to shut up sometimes. Almost like the producers are trying to make us dislike him.
Pointing out that the Producers are the ones that are shoving all of this content INTO the show.
There's lots and lots and lots of other Mikey footage that they could use. They elected to focus in far too tightly on this for the heartstring-pulling content... and it's become tiresome as a consequence.
I'm beginning to think it might be the only usable footage.
The best line on any season of Alone is, āNikola doesnāt have a tap out buttonā It gets repeated daily at my house.
is it said... mockingly?
Did the thread on starting a GoFundMe for Mikey get deleted?
Seriously? I wonder what that was for...
I'm bothered more by him calling field mice ,"rats".
