Les Stroud in a hammock

[GrumpyTom]

No offense meant body - i respect his skills and his desire to remain 'close to nature'. Just that sometimes he irks me

I really liked Dual Survival also, but that hippy guy irks me sometimes... Like when he spent 3 days burning out a tree for a canoe that didnt float

Yeah, but if that idea had panned out, it would've been sweet. It did float, btw, just upside-down.

I have seen almost everything done by Ray Mears, some of Bear Grylls (sucks) and Les i wish was a little faster. Maybe if he didnt do all his own filming then it would be better. For Me Ray Mears is the best and i got part of my tarp setup knots from him. The Siberian hitch. Well at least thats where i saw it first.

Did anyone else see the Dual Survival show where Dave Canterbury made a hammock, of sorts, with a piece of bamboo? He split it length wise, leaving the ends intact. Then spread it open and weaved other pieces into it. It worked, may not have been the most comfortable, but beat sleeping on the ground.

man this thread got me hooked on the darn survivorman all day long

Yeah and a suspension made out of vines.

None taken. I don't offend easily, and the best have tried. I was only trying to point out that I agreed with you on the canoe, but if you're interested in doing a e-search he's actually a very entertaining guy.

And Roadrunner, the bamboo hammock thing was pretty cool.

Actually, I saw Baer make a hammock out of some netting and hang it about 20' off the ground so the bears wouldn't bother him. The show was on a couple weeks ago.

*I like Survivorman better, though.

That was a parachute, and ya survivorman is so much better.

Just take a look at my avatar.
Nope, I'm not Les, but didn't want to use a real picture of myself on the net.
