Ok Ok
well, thats fine.....obviously les wins....look at the polls. His off the grid thing makes me wanna buy land in Canada though. Bear is still a better show by ratings, probably why he gets another season. How about them Cowboys huh?Originally Posted by crashdive123
With almost 600 posts on the topic in about 23 months, sadly I fear that the answer will be no.Nice thought though.
The unfortunate news Bear fell in the Antarctic while filming a show and is now in the UK (I think) for assessement and rehab (broken shoulder and such), I wish him well but it had to catch up with him.

I was born with nothing,
with hard work and deligence I still have most of it
this week a lot less...must be a hole in my pocket
Please allow me to reiterate.
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

Wonder if they'll air that show? Didn't he almost die in a rock climbing accident or mountain hike before he started the show? I watch both shows mainly for entertainment. I still think Les is more realistic with the scenarios though. And I liked his book, very informative.

Apparently the show was not for Discovery but an alternative fuel company. The weather was not good but chances were taken.....

Good thing he had his crew with him....he might not have survived.

Klkak is right the shows are entertainment value, even this season (not yet aired in Kanata) shows some suspect firearm practices??? So as in all TV a grain (or two) of salt needs to be taken along with a good reality check.

He would not have, definately, busted shoulder and all tissue damge was extensive. Also had a hard time evacuating him it took a few days because of weather problems. A very close brush with death. Maybe this will tone things down a bit if he comes back.

I don't know. He broke his back jumping out of an airplane or so he says and it ain't stopped him from doing that.

When were you thinking? I'm working 13 days straight, worked all this week, working all weekend, all next week and next Saturday. I'm off Sunday then back at it. We might be able to squeeze it in sometime.

Read a 5 question interview with Bear in the latest Outside Magazine. When asked about the gross stuff (eating poo) he implied that it was all for the ratings.
Let me know when you have at least 2 days off in a row. Preferably when its above -0-.

2 days off is easy enough, above 0 I'm not so sure of.

We should really do this. Take some good pictures to share with the folks here. I have a place in mind out at Knik.2 days off is easy enough, above 0 I'm not so sure of.

I'm down for it. Maybe the weekend of the 24th we could. It sould be a little warmer. You wanna do an actual camping type trip but practice primitive ways to do things, set some snares and such?

Looking forward to the pics guys.
That sounds like a great idea.

I haven't been camping in years. It's gonna be so cold.

the few episodes I have seen of both shows I cant remember either having more than a knife and sometimes a fire starter of some sort.
I Wonder Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink what ever comes out?"
