    Bet you could trap a bar with a roll of dental floss and an acorn...

    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.

    yeah she chases me unmercifully. have you ever tried to run in (roping) heels?

    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.

    I don't actually know who Survivorman is, I'll have to google, everyone keeps talking about him.

    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...

    I admit...I giggled.

    But, it reminded me of the Survivorman episode where he killed and cooked a young booby (the BIRD, people!). As he's munching away, Les chuckles and says "The irony here, is I'm eating booby breast".

    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 went on a two-week survival trip in Alaska when I was in junior high school. Thought I would never make it out alive!

    Last night I caught an episode where he is down in the bayou/swamps and stuck his hand down to get a catfish and got bitten. Then it was hurting, so he turned around and peed on his hand. As you do. When you are stuck in the swamps

    If you watch the show enough, you'll find he has a "thing" for pee... Every episode, it seems he uses his own pee for something.
