Apology accepted! That shows character! And, by the way, I certainly don't want to try & change anyone's opinion on which shows they like. I like them both. However, as I said earlier, my favorite Les Stroud show wasn't a "Survivorman" episode, it was an episode of "I shouldn't be alive: The Science of Survival." Les showed what could have been done in an actual survival situation. The people were real, as was their predicament. Let's face facts, no one deliberately puts themselves in harm's way if they can help it, unless, of course there's big money to be made.

The same is true with Les Stroud on Survivorman! However these are the only two shows that show wilderness survival "how-to"; I'd like to see others as well.

I have a couple questions;

Does a Baer crap in the woods?

How does he spend so much time being wet and not get diaper rash?

If he is getting diaper rash, what is he putting on it?

Prior to filming a show, is he taking any kind of meds to prevent him from getting sick?

Has he been anywhere that he could have gotten malaria? if so, was he taking his pills?

How does he prevent foot rot when in constant wet environments?

What kind of shots does he get prior to going on an adventure?

I've noticed that sometimes when he fills his canteen, he does not fill it all the way up, why?

Also noticed that he will wrap his canteen and canteen cup in duct tape, good trick.

He has drank pee and water from some kind crap, did he get sick after the show was over?

Just questions from someone who can't sleep.

Interestingly enough if he does crap in the woods he might eat it. This guy has eaten about any kind of insect there is and drank urine from elephant dung. He's eaten scorpions, spiders, snakes (live ones), millipedes, ants, maggots, grubs, whatever. Wouldn't a normal hiker carry some sort of vitemin/food supplement with them? Inquiring minds want to know!

He's obviously going after the shock factor. The elephant dung thing was beyond belief. My wife is still having nightmares from that.

**owl_girl** · 07-11-2007, 01:22 PM

Ya he’s pretty dramatic.

**Tony uk** · 07-11-2007, 01:27 PM

I want to join him sometime, i like people who are that kind of dramatic

**FVR** · 07-11-2007, 08:35 PM

So yah saying like .......................

Drama queens?

**SOE digital** · 07-11-2007, 09:44 PM

Why ask all those questions? The show is completely staged.

Maybe you guys could bond by sharing a large elephant turd together. (Sorry, just couldn't resist.) ;>)

**Tony uk** · 07-12-2007, 07:56 AM

LOL, i like it with extra seasoning

Why do you think that?

I personally love the show watch it every time its on.

**nell67** · 07-12-2007, 08:12 PM

LOL I watch it for the gag factor,I gag everytime he eats or drinks.LOL

**SOE digital** · 07-12-2007, 10:03 PM

Why do you think that?

I don't think that, I know that.
Like I've said in a previous thread; I got a call from the producers of the show asking permission to use a dead kangaroo in the show to make it look like he had killed it himself. It's all staged.
Isn't it obvious, by the way its filmed?
One second there's a cameraman on his raft floating down the river. Next minute there isn't. It's all set up mate. No doubt about it.

Still a fun show though.

**FVR** · 07-12-2007, 10:44 PM

I picked that up on the raft scenes also.

When they flashed back and forth, he was not in the same place.

One min. he was filming from the raft going down the river, the next they were filming him and it was compl. diff water, then they went back to the raft cam.

One min. he is educating you on why you need to fully cook snakes because of worms in the meat, then the next scene he is eating on raw. LOL.

Good entertainment.
