This thread is for pretty much the best show on tv right now, Man vs. Wild. It airs on Discovery Channel, episodes get replayed a lot, and new episodes air fridays at 8.
Its basically about a hot british dude who gets dropped off on a remote location, armed only with a knife and fishhooks (and a camera crew) and must find his way back to civilization, giving you helpful tips on how to survive if you're ever in that situation. A few of the better episodes form last season were the Deserted island and the African Desert.

Highlight Reel, to give you a general idea of what he's about
Things he has eaten that were raw:
Zebra Corpse
Snake
Fish
Maggots
So what did you guys think of the latest episode, where he gets dropped off in the Florida Everglades?
I liked when he showed you how to escape from the sink hole. Also, I love when he tells stories of people who were in similar situations, and survived horrible things. Its kinda like he's mocking them.
Or tell us of a time when you had to survive by your wits and survival instincts.

Survivorman got dropped in like Alaska, with a "crashed" plane and a "broken" arm. Using one arm, he tried to make a shelter out of snow, couldn't, and quit like a pussy, ignoring the fucking plane behind me.
Bear would've been like "I can kill that deer, and climb inside of it to stay warm!"
Dude, thats exactly what he taught. Spread the weight distribution using the stick and lift yourself out. Then he told a story of a guy who didn't know what he was doing and spent three days in quicksand.

I was lucky that I'd been carrying the damn thing around with me after I found it as the quicksand was on this sand bar that was littered with fish & dolphin skeletons and had no vegetation on it.
My favorite parts were when he was in the rockies, and he got to a cliff that was 70 feet or so above a river, and decided to jump in, then decided to go white water rafting using his backpack.
Also when he was on a Glacier, and jumped into a crevasse to show how to survive it, then jumped into freezing water to show how to survive that.
Also when he killed a snake with a rock and a stick, then made dinner with it.
Chucking a dolphin skull as far as you can throw it just feels weird.
I have a really weird desire to find some and get caught in it so I can get out.
I was picked up by a Shi'ar Harvester before I could breathe again. I did a few calisthenics to get the blood flow into my extremities and then crept through the exhaust system using a piece of heat shield I tore loose to protect me from the proton blasts that came through every time it accelerated. Eventually I found myself in the captain's quarters where I snapped his neck while he slept, skinned him to fashion a suit of his hide to conceal my identity, and then I tore his eyeballs out to activate the retinal scanners to grant me access to the bridge. Once there I crash-landed the freighter onto a nearby planet where I knew there was a federation base.
And then they're running down a fucking mountain in the dark.
Alternately, hand-fishing in a pool, then eating the fish raw.
Survivorman would've gotten eaten by the bear.
I was walking along and it looks like just normal sand with about maybe an inch-deep puddle of water over it and I stepped into it and went straight down to my thighs and then started sinking at a slower rate. And it stunk like sewage because it was all this decompossing seaweed and animal matter that had been mixed in over time. I shoved the bamboo all the way down into it after I got out and it was at least 11 feet deep.
Ouch.
we were playing around with it on a biology trip once
it was like a patch about a metre across and when you stepped in it you sunk to your waist pretty much instantly
there was some kind of current running through it, it was so fucking cold
it took a couple of people to pull you out of it, the teacher made me jump in because of my hairy legs (it sticks to your hairy legs like crazy, the girls were using it to check how they'd shaved), and then when i emerged it was completely caked to my legs
twam: yes
You said that last time.
Dude that is fucking awesome.
Also, Bear is ridiculously hot for a Brit.
You hear me? I'd be gay for Bear.
Because then maybe some of his awesome would rub off on me.
GIS for British Dude
Aren't you worried your mom would get cancer from it?
maybe if you let him blow a load in your mouth and swallowed it you'd absorb some of his dna and become as awesome as him
maybe
Also, he ate a fucking turtle and a frog.
The next scene is him and the camera guy crawling through like 8inch tall grass, and in the shot they highlight this little rabbit about 20 yards off. Once he gets close enough, he chucks his stick wicked hard and tags the bunny in the head with a nice "THUMP".
Then it shows him skinning and gutting it, impailing it on a stick, and cooking it rotissery style over a fire.
Was glorious
