Haven't read al the comments yet, but here's what I think:
Pretty disappointed that Tracy left. She dealt with the bear almost perfectly (maybe a little slow, but this also gave the bears time to react if they had just stumbled upon her). This was also a huge opportunity for her to deal with her 'fierce aggression' (which was completely appropriate here, just some people are paralyzed by doing the right thing). But I can't blame her at all against a mother bear, nothing against her, just disappointed since she had potential.
Oh, Mike. Trying to chop your hand off like Mary, and then his toes right in line with that axe... Very few people do things properly though. Even at work the mentality is to just 'get 'er done.' Just keep moving because it takes time to step back and think of the safest and best way to fix something. People get injured in these jerry-built schemes and never question that they're 'working harder, not smarter' even when they claim the opposite.
Could see the disappointment with Dave. Looks pretty bad so I hope the food situation changes quickly.
Justin dealing with the situation through humour. Great idea. And I'm glad he is confirming what I said early on that he made his unorthodox gear choices based upon experience, smarts, and comfort. He seems confident out there.
Mike's camp looks very clean and nice. The OCD may help him if it doesn't wear him out.
Nicole's camp looks a little sloppy from the outside, but also potentially very warm and dry inside.
Dave's situation shows how a little bad luck can lead to mistakes through lack of clarity or more bad luck. And yet his gill net build is very impressive.
Larry pretty much the same, and then catching all those fish sent him into some Bill Murray cheer.
Nicole choosing to walk towards a mother bear. No, just no. That is asking for death as a mother bear will charge and fight from about three times the distance of other bears. And she looked to be about that distance. I think the bear knew something was there and then stood up when she realised it was approaching, trying to get a sniff. I don't know if the running was edited in or what, but very poor decision making there. Should have waited the bear out and then checked/moved the net (and maybe never put it there to begin with as it seemed like the same location she first saw the bear).
