Yes, its been a while since I have posted. I am sure the few readers I had have now given up on me. Well, I will write this post anyway. As I sit here on the couch this Saturday morning, I was inspired by “Man vs. Wild.” If you have never seen this show, it’s definitely worth checking out. It makes me thankful for modern technology and civilization.

This guy, Bear Gryllis, is amazing, or crazy, not sure which one yet. He gets dropped off in some far off, uninhabited place and shows the world how he can survive anywhere. In this episode, he is in Iceland. Yes, Iceland! Jut him and a perhaps even crazier camera crew. I have already seen him find a dead sheep, cut away some meat and fat… and take one of its eyes… and cook the meat and eye in some boiling volcano water and eat it. He saved the fat to make a fire later in the show.

I think the best part is when he finds some random plant and tells us that “90% on this is extremely toxic and poisionous, but if you eat this tiny part here, its delicious,” and then he eats it! How does he know so much about nautre, and, not that I am wishing anything bad on him, but he has to know of the crocodile hunter… eventually his luck is gonna run out and he might just eat a part of the 90%.

So whats up with this camera crew? I mean, he is a survivalist, but are they. When he is all talking about how scarce food is, what are they eating? Do they have their own food to eat? A caterer following them around w/ cheeseburgers, steaks and potatoes? That has to up set him seeing his camera crew eating a nice medium well NY strip while he is eating a cold sheep eyeball. He was just trapped in a cave in total darkness, and he was still being recorded. So was there a guy in there with him lost too? Well, at least if he goes, he wont be alone. Ok, that was wrong… I apologize.

Now a show called “The Alaska Experiment” just came on. I guess it like a “Man vs. Wild” for regular people. Now they are CRAZY. ALASKA?!? Its cold, there are bears and little food. Do they not know they are living in the bear’s home? And they are BIG and FAST and STRONG. All that means you don’t stand a chance. Ah well… I will continue to enjoy life in the suburbs… lol. Maybe one day I will go camping… lol.
