... the design of the knife is very good it seems practical, but I have my pocket knife, It doesn't really work to survive in jeans... you should use special clothes! ... and I don't do survival exercises anymore... just diet!
*_Thank you, Mrs. Lilly, your material always has educational value for me,_*
Dang Lilly you have impressed me more by saying you prepared two months in advanced to walk bare foot. Full dedication that paid off. Good for you.
I have a few questions - Now you have experienced N&A would you change you items for survival on future trips out into the wilderness. Do you have a more focus on certain area or items that you want with you.
One thing I noticed on survival shows is people making temporary shelters then try to build better shelters later on when they are calorie depleted. Does this experience give you more direction on prioritizing what you do when setting up a camp. Example getting as much wood asap. I noticed your partner was very worn out to get more wood towards the end
@@Christian-Prepper Hi Mr. Christian
😂😂😂 try it in the middle of winter 😂😂😂
Just watched it last night and you and Sam both rocked that challenge. I am so glad Sam talked you out of quitting cause you would have regretted that for the rest of your life. Well done Lilly!!!
Thank you for clearing up so many questions, Lilly. I watch that show every week. You did great, and I'm glad you've kept in touch with Sam. He was a gem.
Yeah sam was awesome and really helped boost her morale and kept her going!
Marriage to Sam in season 2❤
My 93-year-old mother is a fan of the show and really enjoyed your episode, especially after I told her that I had been following you on CZcams for years. Thanks for answering these questions. I'll pass them along to Mom!
Bless y'all!❤🙏
Honestly, sometimes I'm naked and afraid in my own house. Completely un-scripted.
My wife screams when there is a bug in the bathroom too!
Proud of you Lilly !! You did a great job and you were very strong !!
A church I used to attend did a 21 day fast. Some of the members had high blood pressure issues. Others had diabetic problems. Some reported that when you fast, it is almost like your body resets itself and some of them where able to go off some of the medications they were previously taking for those issues. Not recommending this without consulting your doctor, but that is what some where able to achieve with the fasting. They also stated you could not just immediately start going back to eating solid food. They started out by sipping small amounts of chicken soup broth and slowly added solid foods back in over a period of days or weeks.
I never thought the show was any kind of fake. I always believed that you wouldn't have anything to do with fake. And that's why your episode was the first and only one I've seen. Thanks for verifying! You and your survival partner were great on the show!
@Winston Smith also, there are a few AMA posts floating around with former contestants acknowledging the more "creative liberty" aspects of the show. Also, I've read (can't confirm, but would have been a good question) that the contestants are paid. And fair enough...they earned it, but it seeems that the show doesn't discuss that portion.
Guys I get you've read this and that article and blogpost or whatever but I'd recommend taking into account more someone who actually went onto the show lol
@@jreverie7018 I took that into account, as well as the fact that she qualified it with that she couldn't speak for everyone else's experience.
I just encourage you to watch other episodes. Namely, my first episode seen was S7, E9 curse of the swamp. Great!!!
Referring to relationship building as a tool, equivalent or greater to equipment they have. My absolute favorite quote, "You're my jungle husband and I'm your jungle wife". Their dynamic was almost as powerful as S15 E1.
Love your honesty and humbleness! You are inspiring!
You did a fantastic job on the show. You were able to endure the night time temperatures when you cannot tolerate cold. I admire your personal strength and not quitting.
I think you made a really great point about setting priorities when you were talking about making shoe wear. In a survival situation priorities are everything and if you set the wrong priority it could cost you your life. Knowing what the real priority is is how you survive. Thank you 👍
You should be very proud! So glad the two of you worked out so well together. Also very very happy that you got your rabit! All that practice paid off!
I'm so glad Lilly got that win, she deserved it so much🏆 It was spectacular, I didnt even know bunny rabbits grew that big! 😂🐇🏹😎😋
Thankyou Lily for your honest assessment of the show. You hear so many things and it's so good to get the truth as this is my favorite show. Thanks for allbof the good things you do!
I don't think I ever seen a better couple on Naked and Afraid like Lilly and Sam. If there has been there wasn't many with such amazing chemistry. The shows choice to feature their challenge in America. Brilliant cheers Lilly❤
To complete the naked and afraid challenge is a huge accomplishment. I'll look forward to more videos of you refining your skills. Thank you Lilly!
It was awesome seeing you complete the challenge. You overcame so many personal obstacles ❤️🇺🇸
Hi Lily. Finally caught the episode and you were great. Sam was the perfect partner and appreciated the team aspect you two had
Lilly, I understand why you wouldn't do another challenge. Our health is important. BUT WOW, I was amazed how you and Sam got through this. I never watched the show before because I thought it was stupid. I'm glad I watched you and Sam. I thought you complemented each other. Honestly, Sam was so lucky to get you as a partner, and he recognized you right off the bat from youtube. I know I couldn't do this challenge. My hats off to you. Way to go
I was also glad to have a partner like Sam. He was a workhorse and had my back when I was cold
@@SurvivalLilly great job Lilly. Your courage and willingness to confront your lows is amazing. Thank You for allowing us to see you as a real person.
I thought it was a stupid idea for a show too. Watched Lilly's episode and was totally convinced this was a real challenge. I am now on season 6 of watching these poor people haha.
@@Rob.653 I am going to watch some more episodes now that I know it's not fake. 🤣
Thanks for taking the time to go through what makes the show what it is. You answered a lot of my questions. Congratulations to you for surviving the 3 weeks! You doing so adds so much credibility to your videos and the survival skills you share with us.
You did a fantastic job on N&A! Even with all your skills, we could see how difficult the challenge was. You are truly an inspiration to all of us. I'm glad you are recovering nicely. Thanks for both appearing on the show and for answering the questions afterwards.
It is nice to see you’ve done so well on CZcams Lily… You deserve it!
I was so excited to see you on naked and afraid! I told my husband that I follow you on CZcams and you are one of the best! Your episode is the first one we’ve watched! So proud of you! Thank you for teaching us all very important skills. Now it’s Nate’s turn! (Canadian Prepper)
Did he go on the show?
There was never any doubt in my mind tat you would complete the Naked and Afraid challenge. After watching your CZcams channel for the last few years, you've more than proven your knowledge and skills are sufficient pretty much any challenge that comes your way. I don't blame you for not wanting to repeat the experience, though. Why take any risk that you don't need to take? As always, I look forward to more of your wilderness survival and prepping videos. Take care.
Yes,but she wanted to quit,her partner talked her out of it.
@@cyndeeh Lilly partner did his part of encouraging and supporting his partner Lilly. Lilly pushed thru her doubts and fears. It took courage to continue.
@@cyndeeh But she didn't. With the help of her teammate. Whom she fed for the whole challenge, in exchange for his mental fortitude. It's called teamwork. What's your point?
Love the behind the scene q&a.
Thank you to all those commenters who put in questions.
And Thank you Lily for the updates, can't wait to see upcoming challenges you give yourself.
I was curious what Amy saw in the background there, almost like she was trying to get your attention without making noise, haha, so cute.
The Naked and Afraid show is on the Discovery channel. Lilly's episode is Season 15, Episode 1, titled "Welcome to America", first aired on Feb 19, 2023.
Thanks for the wonderful background insights and your thoughtful answers to the questions. I have a ton of respect for you doing the challenge. My thyroid is messed up as well and I get cold so easy. As much as I’d love to see you out on the show again one day, you have to make the decisions that are safest for your body.
Subscribed and looking forward to seeing what else is to come from you! 🖤
I am super proud of you Lilly for challenging yourself! This made you so much stronger.
I hadn't watched Naked and Afraid for years, but because you were on it I watched it. You did an awesome job and congrats for completing it. You will be able to look back on your life and have zero regrets. Your accomplishments are noted.
I actually have never seen the show because I thought some of it was fake. I am you went through the various questions. You really explained everything. I can completely understand why you wouldn't be able to participate if certain things didn't. Appreciate this video and your answers. Just started watching your videos and subscribed.
Lilly, your episode with Sam was one of my favorite of the series!! I really felt your emotions, good and bad!! Thanks so much!
Very Proud Of You Lilly. Great Job! 😎
Congratulations! You really crushed it compared to many I've seen over the years.
You did great Lilly! I never had any doubt that you wouldn't finish the show.
My absolute respect and admiration to you Lilly. This is why you are one of my favorite channels. Thank you for all you do and all the great videos.
I've been a fan of the show since it started, and I never thought it was scripted... You and Sam did great 😃
I have two questions concerning the crew.
1) How did the film crew avoid influencing your actions and choices?
2) The film crew, I assume, was adequately clothed, fed, and hydrated all 21 days. How did this affect your morale?
glad you are recovering Lilly. you look much healthier. looking forward to maybe seeing you on Survivor! a little more food, and clothes!
I spent a summer once jogging every day barefoot on a gravel road. After two months of this, my feet were like shoe leather. Your feet can definitely acclimatize to a challenge like this.
Yelp. Kids dont go barefoot anymore? Personally if i were her and had her life id be barefoot all the time. Ive walked through the forest, creeks, etc for most of my life barefoot.
I just finished watching you on Naked and Afraid! It was the best episode I’ve ever seen - informative and inspirational to see two survivalists (with outstanding personalities and backgrounds) thriving in those conditions. Keep up the great work!
I think more youtubers should go on the show and show bushcraft skills !! You did an great job💯
I’ve just watched the episode with you and Sam. It was absolutely brilliant, I was willing you both till the end. Well done 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lilly, those first three days, you were suffering from what is known as Keto flu. It is expected in many bodies when experiencing such a drastic change in diet. Thankful you made it through entire challenge. You are an inspiration.
I also think being naked is testing the individuals mentally because of the vulnerability
You're a brave and a talented young lady, please keep up the good content you've been putting out and stay safe out there, also stay vigilant young lady!
Hi Lily, hello from Brazil, your episode was the best ever in terms of survival, teamwork and mental strength! Unparalleled!
I really appreciate your candid answers to your experiences on N&A.It was a fascinating episode, one of the best really, and your survival skills were demonstrated perfectly! I'm glad that you will not do another episode as your health is the most important object. We can all continue to enjoy your wonderful YT channel! Thank you so much Lilly! 😀😀💖💖
I loved Lilly's episode. She was so equipped to survive and last and did a great job and the chemistry and teamwork was great!
I turn off the episodes when they fight or don't work together.
Not scripted, but fake to the extent that no participant is ever in real danger.
we are in danger. the crew leaves at night and we are alone till morning.
My biggest complaint is that the people are not really naked, they always have a large bag that conceals their body. The other pet peeve is all the scenes of dangerous animals that are not really there, but just to give the impression that the challenge is more dangerous than it really is.
We found bear tracks near our camp. It is America. Bears are everywhere.
I remember one of your first videos of you running in the wood. Huge trees and mountains. You almost became naked in that video. Then you get in the cold water. EPIC.... You were and still are great. Now I have to find that early video again. Please keep you channel going.
I don't even understand why you have to be naked. You can use your survival skills without having to take your clothes off seriously.😂
Agree
First time watching naked and afraid, i think you two absolutely rocked it. I was surprised at how thin you are, to take on that challenge. Thank you for your answers in this video.
As a side note, an ex-partner of mine had thyriod problems that she cured using homeopathy, don't know if your willing to look at that, but it worked for her very well.
Thank you for your videos, i always enjoy watching them when i can't get out doing myself. Keep uploading as long as you can,please.
I just caught your episode. Look like you two did ok. I hear what you're saying about the shoes but I think that would have been one of my priorities being there were alot of cacti out there. Nice job!
You rock young lady! As you get older you will appreciate your decision to put your health first.
Thank you Lilly for the insight from an European cultural point of view. Being myself a Western neighbor of yours with Alpine roots but living for quite some time now in the West of the US, it was great to not have to read between the lines. I also can very much follow and support your reasoning why not go right away into another such challenge. If there would be a way of exchanging some of my weight with some some of your health burden to balance out each other's challenges, we could have a deal... ;-) -I enjoyed this clip very much. Keep doing what you do, and" All the best in your endeavors and for your health.
When people are asking whether it's fake or real they aren't interested in whether or not you receive direction, they are interested in whether or not for example you receive any form of basic sustenance off-camera. I mean, if it's medically necessitated, saline IVs should be standard practice, which would immediately disqualify the challenge for many people as being "real".
I appreciate your honesty about being nervous the first day. We can practice all we want but until the day we are forced to perform or suffer we don’t know what obstacles are own brain will put in our way 👍👍
Second Naked and afraid has provided me with a new appreciation for my first layer of shelter (my clothing choices) I now consider my clothes I choose each day as part of my EDC. I always ask myself is this what you want to be wearing if you had to sleep next to a tree tonight 😁 it’s not a perfect process but a question I ask nonetheless.
The point of being naked is because it's a Primitive survival show. U have to earn clothing with hides & work up from there.
"Maybe with a bit more clothing on". Thanks, Lilly. I needed that, lol
Well Lilly, I have watched your channel since Lone Wolverine days, and I want to congratulate you on your "graduation"! You did it.
I just watched Naked & Afraid. The episode that you and Sam are in. I think that you and Sam are the best team ever on Naked & Afraid ! Sam was so attentive to you, always making sure that you are ok. And when you were going to tap out and Sam convinced you to stay. He said that you are not a burden. There was so much love there. You two are the best!!!
Wow, you've nailed it for me about so many questions! Most of all, I have been wondering so much about how the contestants and crew interact. I imagine from my couch that the crew has 'it easy' with food, all the water they can drink and even electronics to keep in touch with loved ones and their entertainment at night when it is just your cameras. I wondered how knowing that psychologically impacts the contestants being filmed bc I forget about the crew for the most part during my viewing experience only to think about it much later. I will now share your respect. I remember the snake on day 1 and now your bravery in that moment is even more amazing, knowing you are terrified of them to begin with. Also, I apologize for my earlier post about my fantasy about you and Sam. Of course, we don't get all the info at home. Had no idea that you were each happily bonded to others at all. Again, applause 👏 . Just shows more maturity on your parts for rising to the ultimate challenge of surviving, making relationship building such a valuable tool equal to or better than choice of equipment. I can't wait to get into all your videos to be just your true fan. Much Grace to you ❤
I became a fan Lilly about a year ago. I spent almost 2 years out in the southern Rocky Mountains from 2000 to 2002 relying on everything I learned growing up and then just figuring things out as I went along. I found a community of people who had moved out here to "prepare" for whatever is coming down the pike. I was kind of at the extreme edge of the community because I wasn't living in a normal home. I was in a tent for a few months, then in a tipi for several more months. I was only about 25 miles away from civilization but I got to where I dreaded going in to town for whatever reason, once a month was too much. You were the 3rd person I found on CZcams who was making "survival/bushcraft" content. Heck I hadn't ever heard of the term Bushcraft until just over a year ago. Watching you and a few others has helped me realize that I actually do know survival, something I always strived for since I was a little kid. Due to health issues I can no longer spend time in the woods like I used to. But through you and the few others I follow, I feel like I'm right back out there living at one with nature like we were intended to. So you keep making content and I'll keep enjoying it and soaking it up.
If you have health problems check out Dr. Berg in CZcams. He made many videos about different health problems and helped me a lot
@@SurvivalLilly Yes Dr. Berg has helped many of us.
It was very assume to see you Lilly on Naked and Afraid. Well done 💪
I love seen both of you, Sam and Lily. Amazing team and beautiful chemistry! 🥰 my daughter and I were crying on how nice Sam was to you. Both of you complimented each other. ❤ #teamsilly
👏👏👏👏 Did they give you a personal copy of your entire experience. I hope so because that's a pretty AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT‼️
As much as I would like to see you in other N&A challenges, you are to be complimented on having the all too uncommon, common sense to know and respect your medical limits.
on the shoes, I can attest- by the end of every summer since childhood, my feet are like leather. you only need them for particularly vicious stickers, really hot rocks, or if it's really cold out. Part of it is the feet-toughness, part is knowing How to walk barefoot and what to pay attention to. You adapt very fast.
That was a huge challenge to do with a thyroid condition. I did not know you had that condition, so I could not imagine how you could have had such a large weight loss in three weeks!
Loved watching your challenge Lily. You and Sam were a great pair. I'm happy for you that you didn't tap, and I have to say that Sam was a really supportive partner for you. Well done!
It would be cool to see you do another show but maybe it wouldn't have to be so "extreme". It could still show off your skills and allow you to have clothes, an axe, a blanket, etc.
We loved the show (V&A). You were great, a real life changing event. I agree you are much lovelier and feminine at your normal weight. I was one who recommended you to N&A and was blown away by your show. I had never seen the program before, and have watched only your show (but several times). I hope you never try again because of your health conditions. (Im a biologist and geneticist) so I was very interested in the weight loss and any body changes you went through. I have three daughters your age and cant imagine them having the strength (both mental and physical) to do anything like this. They are having babies, so they have their 'hill to climb'. Congrats Lilly!
I believe that being without your guard dog would be another stress factor!
Keep going Lilly!!!😊
I never watched the show, I never could understand why anyone would want to run around naked in the woods or in a desert being cold or hot…It just wasn’t entertainment to me. There are the homeless that suffer just as much everyday for years, so why not make a show where you are homeless and afraid for several months to bring awareness to their plight?
There was a "Naked & Afraid" filmed in the Atchafalaya River Basin in South Louisiana, USA. I live 15 minutes from there. My family had a camp there. There's Absolutely NO way in hell I would go nekkid there during the summer for one 24 hour day. You don't have to worry about the alligators, water moccasins, briars, bobcats, black bears, etc eating you alive or killing you from infection because the mosquitos, horse & deer flies, etc. would have sucked all the blood out of you before that 🤨. Lilly, you definitely have my respect. One thing I definitely learned from my experience in life and the USMC infantry is that surviving tough times is more mental than physical.
I wish they would do a season of naked old and afraid !!! I would love to try !! Lol
If shtf happens Lilly keep in mind all the lessons you learned about your health. if you get too far behind the food/energy expenditure curve its going to be tough to make a comeback.
I have a friend who was on a similar show and, while it wasn't exactly scripted, they made them manufacture drama and pretend to argue - which is stupid, nothing makes me want to turn a show off more.
I would love to see you in a 40 day legends scenario with people like Matt Wright, Amber (Hargrove) Kohler, and Steven Hall, etc. Your skill set teamed with people like that would be awesome to watch. I think you’d thrive, and not just survive in a team setting.
This was totally true , they never bull shitted anyone ,, this was So true and real !!
I think the naked makes it less realistic to me. If your car breaks down in the middle of noplace, you would be fully clothed for the weather.
Except for that one episode with the girl with the Yoyito the directors literally had to ask if the contestant to catch few one or two fish for the purpose of the episode behind scenes she caught dozens. 😂
I am really proud of you for all you accomplished in the challenge. You are so awesome. I enjoy all your videos.
My wife always suggests that on the penultimate day, the contestants miraculously get something to eat. A fish, and trap or something from hunting
not everything can be shown in one episode. so sometimes they just show the most relevant kill
ANOTHER QUESTION: in really dangerous areas like Africa, does the show have armed guards to prevent contestants from being attacked by lions and other predators ?
Something like that, yes. More like crew highly trained on weapons such as rifles.
I'm curious about your friendship with Sam and have you stayed in contact? Enduring such a thing had to build a everlasting bond I would think. A friendship that you know that you've always made it through such a tough experience together. Thank you You did a great job 👍
So now that you have done Naked and Afraid, what is your next challenge for yourself ?
The brother sister bond that only survivors will have
Here's a question, just in case you do another Q&A video, hoping so. When you're walking in murky water that might have hippos or alligators lurking, does the staff assist by keeping a lookout or sweep the waters so you don't get attacked? Or is that completely up to the contestants to protect themselves? Luv u, Lily! Thanks, from California. 😊
I was wondering too...
No way, how can they?? Medical team at the ready and relying on the animal's fight or flight instincts IMO. Great question! If I'm wrong, let it be known 😅
I’ve always wondered why people don’t make shoes out of their survival bag
Hi Lilly been following you for years, built a little camp from your tutorial videos, one of my favourite programmes was always naked n afraid so I couldn't believe when you turned up on it.. congratulations for surviving especially with your coldness thing, ye were too far apart, body heats the best.. I would've been wrapped around you to keep you warmer..❤
Love that Lily has become a survival expert through her own research and developing her skills by trial and error.
Definitely someone worth listening to on thos subject. Respect.
No orientation to the map, walk around in thick jungle and return to same location, meeting up with another team for what seems it's a 12 point grid (10ft) of location, all of a sudden the contestant become master navigators with no proper map, and or compass/GPS...Signed a 25 yr Combat Veteran.
You rock Lilly. Strong contestant on the show. Well done!
I believe you about your experience in Naked and Afraid. While the naked part does show how the people are not hiding extra items and the deterioration and other effects the body is experiencing their is another aspect to viewership. Wile in the Unitred States the most private parts of the body where blurred, being naked on film is called a value-added point or value point because it increases the number of viewers.
Da bleib ich gerne dran ;) Danke für die Infos und Einblicke! Alles Gute Lilly
My cousin always wanted to reach 100 pounds. It wasn't until she was in her 30s that she discovered power lifting. She bulked up to 115 and is very happy with herself.
I have a question. Would you like to go back and visit New Mexico as a regular camper with tents, tools, warm clothes, food, and accessories?
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing your experience. 😊.
Ty Lilly. Very informative and interesting.
