Old NFO – I still like the show. It’s entertaining, but Les Stroud (Survivorman) is really hardcore.

Pamela – 1. Don’t call me Mr. Earp. I’m kind of an idiot for that sort of respect. 2. I agree entirely. No matter which show you watch, Man vs. Wild or Survivorman, they teach some pretty important things.

Bob – I watch them both. Les Stroud is kickass, and he plays the harmonica, to boot!

Jon – I usually just utilize my Pocket Napalm.

Doghouse – And cankles!

Joe – Me, no? I don’t even go into the woods to pee, let alone to “explore.”

I spent some time in South America back in my younger days and I can assure you that following a river or stream does not always lead to civilization.

Sometimes it leads away from civilization and deeper into the rain forest. If you’re unarmed, unprepared and don’t have a whole production team complete with air conditioned tents and the rest of life’s necessities, you just might not make it.

Oprah’s got about as much a chance of survival as Bear Grylls. This kid got lucky. Do you feel lucky punk?

If he would have watched Oprah he’d have a book deal.

Good for the kid. Glad he kept his cool and they found him. My survival tip..you are in the woods freezing, your matches are gone but you have your trusty zippo. You make your fire and..flick flick flick..no fluid. Now ignoring the friction fire bow you could make if your fingers weren’t frozen you simply take the lighter apart, pull out a piece of the packing that holds the lighter fluid,
stick it in the striker area and flick..flame. Works every time. Another approach would be to unload your pistol or revolver, remove a bullet from the brass, in a manly way with your teeth of course, stuff in a small piece of cloth so the powder doesn’t fall out, manually reload the round, point it close to the small kindling in your fire pyre and fire. Or better yet get on the radio and request extraction:) LOL

He’d have been better off if they watched survivorman. That’s a show that actually teaches you something, man vs. wild is just a retarded stunt show where after the shoot they all go back to the hotel and have a few brews while enjoying room service.

Mr. Earp: My youngest son (12) loves the Discovery Channel. As much as I don’t want him to get lost in the wilderness, it’s a bit of a relief to think that he might actually survive if he would.

I’ve never watched that plus 8 show. I heard of it and it just sounds stupid. Why do I want to watch another family when I have my own to live?

Other than the fact that Grylls is a poseur… He is in the “field” with a full team to protect his ass…
