Re: Anybody watch Man vs Wild

Yeah, was watching it a little bit last night. I like it. Andy thinks it's all set-up. I don't. I mean sure he has a camera guy but he is doing this stuff as an educational outreach; just sharing what he knows. Too many people get lost out in the wilderness so he has some good things to teach. Yeah that snake...that was kind of gross.

There is a marathon on now. I learned pine needles hold a tremendous amount of moisture and they have up to 8 times more vitamin C than a glass of orange juice. Its a very educational show.

I like the show and it is very informational but he has a camera crew with him. So it loses some of the realism.

There was another show called survivorman where he was all alone that was a little more realistic....but I haven't seen it in some time.

Like the show though. I learned how to put a stick in the ground....mark the shadow with a rock....wait 50 minutes....mark the shadow again.....and then draw a line between the two marks to determine east and west.

I really like the show. Did you see him whack that bunny with the cedar stick? His next show, I think he picks up a pile of elephant dung (or looks like it) and squeezes it above his mouth to get the water out of it. frown.gif

Now that's life or death - pine needles are no problem after I saw him with that elephant poop.

My girlfriend's Dad was in the Special Forces for 20 some odd years and he showed me this too. He's a pretty cool, and he knows his stuff.

I'd be very leery of that man....I get the feeling he could disappear you in short order! laugh.gif

My wife almost vomited when he pulled the head off that snake and ate it with part sticking out of his mouth writhing around. My son and I both said COOL! laugh.gif

I am sure though that he probably gets some food and blankets from the crew that are with him.
