I just really hope you don't follow this up with evidence that there's a McDonald's behind Glen Villeneuve's camp on "Life Below Zero".

Hilarious. I'm only on season 5, but I hope Eric Salatin gets mauled by a grizz.FireOnTheMountain wrote:Dang it, but interesting find Scott.Scott P wrote:Anyway, Les Stroud is even more of a fake than Bear Grylls.

Ha! Actually recently found out they are on like season 11! I watched the first 4 on netflix couple years back and recently restarted it on netflix...Takes me a while to get through a season.12ersRule wrote:I'm only on season 5, but I hope Eric Salatin gets mauled by a grizz.
Eric is just a killing machine. I'm not big on the trapping, especially when the animals are still alive in the traps. With his intensity and his knowledge of killing, he kinda scares me a bit.FireOnTheMountain wrote:Ha! Actually recently found out they are on like season 11!

Eric doesn't seem so bad (kinda curious your beef), but I can't stand Sue. Her carbon footprint has to be twice mine.
He is very much indeed. Then again, the Norvik folk are also. Lot of memorable quotes in that show. I like when Chip said his driver's license expired in 1991 or when Andy describes multiple times that he knew "jacks*it" when he came to AK 30 years ago. Show definitely appeals to the romantic in me.12ersRule wrote:Eric is just a killing machine.
Ah, maybe you should give Les more credit than that. Sure, the scenarios were manufactured, but there was nothing fake about not being able to find food and starving. BlueKhan mentioned how he had to stop doing the shows because of the physical taxation, and that intermittent starvation probably wasn't the best thing to do to the body. Try skipping lunch today, and then let us know what you think.Scott P wrote: Survivorman/Les Stroud never came out and said that and still insist that everything in his shows was real and that everyone else is fake. He's another Dr. Jon Kedrowski of sorts. On the plus side, he actually did spend the night outdoors and has some OK survival advice (unlike Man vs. Wild).
burglarizing nearby cabins for food and supplies hardly counts as living off the land.polar wrote:What about the North Pond Hermit Christopher Knight? He hid and lived alone in an open camp (not even a cabin) in Maine's woods for 27 years.
