My theory is that they never get rescued and the present timeline is just their idea of how their lives would be after the wilderness. There death as a adults is when they die in the wilderness.

Trying to navigate their way back to society will will be difficult; Nat and Travis will probably lean on each other to get through that difficult period. Natalie also had trauma before being stranded in the wilderness and Travis lost his whole family in the crash and will have no one to come home to. That's how I see the Nat and Travis story playing out.

Im not crazy about the Bailey Noland story. I liked him better as a lone wolf. I do enjoy the offer girl power that have going on. I think they could have a lady cop show with them.

I like the romantic tease, because it keeps me interested. When they couple up too soon I lose interest. My favorite Tim an Lucy episode was when they went undercover as Dim and Juicy. I would love too see more that.

Van was not suppose to make it home, but the writers decided to keep her. It was was due to her performance in season one. it is fiction and full of plot holes.

How did they mange to escape the fire with weapons, amo, and rope? How is Shauna not out ink yet? Jackie froze to death in late fall, yet they survive all winter with no shelter. I love this show in spite of plot holes. It has me engaging in on line discussions over it.
