PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Hunting wild goats in the Marquesas "
MB had better cast another Hunter-type or two (did we doubt it?)
Apparently there's good hunting in them thar hills of Nuku Hiva.
I see potential for a future Basher thread given the description below of the hunting process.

Hunting wild goats in the Marquesas

Tahitipresse : The Marquesas islands, located 1 500 kilometers (940 miles) in the north-east of French Polynesia, are known to be a rough place. Marquesans themselves call the archipelago "Henua Enata", the "land of men".

Once in a while, in Nuku Hiva, the main island of the Marquesas, young hunters dare to capture wild goats. They climb the steep hills of the island with their dogs. They run after the wild goats near the Nuku Hiva rugged cliffs.

This traditional hunting is indeed quite dangerous and many accidents occur every year. Marquesan hunters can stay in the mountains many days. They will in fact stay away from home until they get all the food they need. No more, no less.
Hunters use guns and knifes to finish off the wild goats. Then, it will take them many hours to walk back to their villages.
Life in the Marquesas is never easy. Visitors encounter a genuine but unforgiving nature.


-------------------------
Looks a little unforgiving for the goat too. O Kimmi...
The Tahitipresse said that the location will be the four toughest valleys on the island. The picture above is of Nuku Hiva valley terrain. I'm starting to see how it could be harder than lying on a beautiful South Pacific beach.

Also, per another article on the seasons, the whole filming falls within the rainy season. The temperature range is 70's to 80's, but this is rain forest. Rain slickers de rigeur.
