Man vs Wild

[tedski]

The Discovery channel is having a marathon today of this fairly new show ... pretty interestesing. The host, Bear Grylls, is ex-British Special Forces, has himself put in the middle of a wilderness (Louisiana swamp, Costa Rican jungle, on top on an Alaskan mountain, etc) with only clothes, water, a knife and a flint. He then takes 3-4 days to survive on whatever is available and find his way back to civilization.

Very good show and lots of helpful tips!

I have to catch this, I saw the teasers and thought it looked pretty good.

Cool show indeed!

I love all the previous episodes, and there should be some new ones soon.
They used to have a similar show hosted by an older British guy that mixed basic tips with stories of survival. But that show wasn't nearly as good as Man vs Wild.

I saw that today...I caught the 'castaway' episode, and te escape from the glacier episode....pretty good stuff

I've been watching it since the start. Since I enjoy survival skills (thanks Scouting) I find the show really enjoying.

It's a great show. I saw him carve meat off a dead zebra and eat it raw.

MMmmmmm... Zebra

 

[tedski]

Haven't see the zebra one yet. I've seen him catch some fish though and then kills them / eats them using just his teeth. Not sure why he needs to do that as he always carries a knife.

It is a good show.. there are a ton of tips, but some of the stuff you would not remember in the situation, but it is pretty crazy

 

[caudio51]

The most recent one looked terrible, being stuck in the Everglades

 

[tedski]

I see he's been avoiding the really tough ones so far ....

1. In a shopping mall on Christmas eve, searching for a unique gift.
2. In rush hour traffic (6am - 8pm) in LA and trying to exit in Long Beach
3. Trying to mail a letter at the Post Office on April 15 in any large US city

 

[Boppa-Wasch]

I'll have to catch one of them.

I love watching this show when I remember it's on or when I catch it while channel surfing. Great tips, but I doubt many will remember what he's telling them during a time of stress/panic.
