    Oh man - I was watching Fox for a bit this morning but didn't see that. I wonder if they'll have the video on the website. I'll have to look it up when I get back from an appointment this afternoon!

    Grrrrr that reporter referenced that Man Vs Wild guy.......that guy grinds my gears with his basically polar oppositeness of LNT principles. Not only that but he is extremely reckless and has put himself in alot of situations where he could have gotten seriously injured were there was a safer way. At least Les Stroud acknowledges to use as much LNT as possible even in a survival situation.

    I agree. Les Stroud seems laid back and his main focus is surviving, not getting an adrenaline rush.

    Hmmm... I can't seem to see the video. Must be blocked here at work. What do they say about hammocks?
