Saw "FAN vs. Wild" Wednesday. Oh my goodness, what a fiasco!

Bear takes two complete wilderness virgins, both of whom harbor serious phobias, and has them run through a bunch of "survival"...

Did y'all see that ol' Bear now has a new signature knife?

It is to be made by Gerber and released sometime in November. You too can own one for only about $60.00.
...

Really? You think so?

I have been somewhat underwhelmed by both of them. Maybe it's just the format that Discovery chooses but, they seem to do a lot of the same dumb crap that Bear tries.
...

That really is too bad. I'm sorry this happened to him.

However, although anecdotal and not statistically valid, this event does help illustrate the danger of "training" for survival by watching...

Les did a "behind the scenes" special about 2 years (?) back where he openly showed exactly what you are describing.

According to the episode, Les would go in a few days before his shoot to scout...

It was played as a rerun last night on Discovery so; it is definitely true. It wasn't just "non-potable" water either. It was water contaminated with bird feces.

My sons and I watch ol' Bear and I let them point out what they think are his mistakes and stupidities. We then discuss what Bear could/should have...

Hey did you guys know that ol' Bear is now writing/publishing a series of survival novels?

Here's some of the info about them:

Mission: Survival - Way of the Wolf
Stranded in Alaska! Beck...

There isn't a "local" music store for more than 150 miles from me. I'll just take your word for it.

Doesn't he play a harmonica? I think a harp would be a real b!+(# to try to pack around. They're heavy!!:D

I picked up a copy of Men's Journal today at the grocery store because it has a feature article about Edward. The article is mostly fluff, trying to make Edward appear as "larger than life" as...

Don't know if this has been reported here yet but I found this on Backpacker Magazine's website: http://www.backpacker.com/blogs/daily_dirt/562

This is not what the disclaimer states. There was no "grizzly bear scare" (see below), and Edward has only ever claimed that he was "forced by the producers" to wear a life vest while floating down...
