I was just curious if any dreamers around here have ever sat down to watch a show called Survivorman that airs on both the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel.
The show is about a canuk dude named Les who is sent to all sorts of strange and desolate places to survive on his own for 7 days. He shows you all the ways you can help keep yourself alive over a period of time by showing you how to build a proper shelter, live off the wildlife and plantlife around the environment, and gets into some pretty extreme and interesting situations.
I'm not much of an outdoorsman but this show kicks ass and definitely at least warrents a watch if you're curious. It's just cool to see some guy stay alive with nothing in an extreme situation for 7 days, all while lugging around 60 pounds of camera gear to show everyone how he does it.
The show is on the Discovery channel every friday night at 8pm central US time... Give it a watch if you haven't yet.
