What changed the season?

The Episode 5 moose harvest gave Žiga a substantial food reserve. The later episodes show why getting food is only one part of a long stay: health, shelter, food storage and the willingness to remain all affect the result. Nero and Aaron both stayed beyond 80 days before leaving; Žiga’s winning total was 90.
