The reason for the craze..................
Society has turned the "man" the "Warrior" into nothing but office bound, pen pushing, buy your meat at the store, computer, cell phone, blue tooth ??, Ipod, etc. using geeks who have cravings.
It's not pc to kill your own food anymore, anyway the prof. hunters are making it a wall hanging business rather than food. Tech., although no matter how great it is, loses meaning. Yeh, when is the last time you wrote a letter? In handwriting? and put a stamp on it and mailed it?
So these guys who go to the gym everyday to get the workout that use to be had by good hard work, want a challenge. The see Les and Bear on tv, watch it every Friday night no matter what, and think, "hey, I can do that."
So they spend most of their liquid income on all the gadgets, and take to the woods.
What is really funny is that ask those who religiously go tromping through the woods, who have been true "outdoorsman" for many more years than Les or Bear have been on tv, "do you crave survival?"
Most will say no, because to be in survival mode is to be dire straits, to may have had an accident that may result in death.
Those of us who have half a brain, who have spent time in various environments doing various things, who work everyday with our hands and backs, realize that one little screw-up, can mean death.
But Johny Bozo won't listen and will run a higher chance of injury and death.
