Oh, and that voice...It could melt a snowbank...
Oh, and that voice...It could melt a snowbank...
Ends, HowDID; ya'll too funny!
You and Ends...hump comes to mind.
The survival guys; well I'd like to have them around if stranded someplace; though I do remember most of my Boy Scout 101.
HeLLLLOOOOO! Wooo, great thread here! I see howDID is still trying to bag the erstwhile Doug in his oh-so-tight jeans...
I get illegal cable (shhhhh) from the nice tenants who left their cable box behind, and Discovery Channel comes in nicely. Turn off the Japanese dub, and we're ready for Bear ACTION!
Endsleigh, kick howDID offa that fan bench and make room for a true Bear fan!
LOVE ME SOME BEAR! Wooooooo! I was heartbroken to hear he has a wife/kids. shit, another missed opportunity. Why don't we ever get to see him taking a poo? Does the camera crew sleep in a nice warm trailer? I want details!
The Dirty Jobs guy--oh sure, I'd hit that. But his comments are a bit annoying, in a (forgive me for even invoking his name on such a hot thread) Bob-Saget-on-Funniest-Home-Videos-type way. Not really funny, just short of funny. bleh. But yeah, if he'd shut up, no problemo.
Yeah, while we're at it, Bob is cute but so effing annoying.
Well, I just have to chime in on this one. Survivorman rocks! You can actually learn from him...tips you will actually use. Plus his tunes are good. Man vs. Wild just seems like a stuntman show. Running, jumping, all kinds of crazy stunts BEFORE he does something like drinking his own pee from a snakeskin.
The Northern Pikes were around before Les Stroud. They just recently worked together, though.
Survivorman is awesome...no hotels for him. He is completely alone out there, like Duster says- does his own camera work etc.
One episode he set his shelter on fire! By mistake. That could've ended badly.(He was camped on a beach I think, and his driftwood shelter caught fire.While he was sleeping!)
the guy actually does some good-
last winter a guy got lost on his snowmobile in the bush in BC-
He was gone, I think 3 days. Everybody pretty much wrote him off...but he survived, thanks to the stuff he had learned watching survivorman!
Some of the episodes are like how to survive in the bush, like if you get lost hiking, Or how to survive if you are in a small plane crash...stuff like that.
Les Stroud is pretty unique guy- he and his family live "off the grid" He's a musician..a producer I think..
and then for so many months of the year- he's all alone eating scorpions to survive!
I give the guy credit...being alone so many months of the year must tough!
He and hid wife did an experiment one year- living in the bush for a year.
Caught a parasite from sluggish water- the lake was too sluggish and the parasite responsible for beaver fever flourished where they got their drinking water.
His wife was pregnant, and they lost the baby because of it. I believe they had to end the experiment early to fly her out to a hospital.
He has a satellite phone for emergencies I guess...

Well, I tell ya what...You guys can have Bear and let me have Mike...I think Mike is more my type anyway...
Ok, let's see a pic of this Mike.
Have at him, ladies...
Ohhhhhhhh....and another one where he was squeezing a dogs rear cuz of pus sacks or something. Ughhhhhh, it was gross.
Rotflmao!!!!!
If it was life or death survial situation
Survivor man all the way
Bear is all sizzle no steak
The first I ever knew of a bird called a booby was watching a film in 7th grade science. You can imagine the adolescent giggles at "blue footed booby".
I heard an interview with Les (Survivorman) on the radio a while back. Two morning show guys trying to bait him into blasting on Bear Grylls. Les did say he felt like Man vs. Wild was "entertainment only", but really took the high road. I'll give him credit for that.
I can't say I hate either one of them...They have more guts in their pinky toes than I do in my whole entire body...Still lovin me some Mike Rowe...*sigh*
Bear is wonderful eye candy, the end (LoL)
Mmmmm....Bear AND Mike Rowe in one thread! I'm about to go off like a monkey in a banana factory! I'd take a Bear/Mike sandwich any day of the week!
Survivorman is too annoying to me.
*howdid sits in the corner with her picture of Mike Rowe and hums the dirty jobs theme hoping that End doesn't stay mad at her long*
