Anybody watch Man VS. Wild Discovery TV show? I know lot of the stuff he does is planned but its fascinating to me. This weekend I saw him take a fresh elephant poop and squeez it to get water. Nasty...

I want to see him do a show on how to survive a crowded pier with angry and foolish fishermen...

Two other shows that are fascinating is the one about climbing Everest and one about true life stories of survival, I think its called "I shouldn't be alive."

You see lots of shows about life threatening, death defying exploits.

My advice to all those guys, is that when you're really in trouble, and you're not sure you will survive, just ask the Cameraman for help. :rolleyes:

seasalt,

I have watched them all but my favorite is survivorman who is left in precarious conditions and he does his own filming as well as surviving.
Yes drinking the elephant houch was distressing

just read about this episode for survivorman where he need to survive in a raft for seven days...

"Survivorman: Lost at Sea

The Location: Caribbean Sea, off Belize Coast
The Ecosystem: Ocean
The Challenge: Survive for a week in an inflatable life raft after being set adrift.
The Supplies: A life raft, bucket, hand pump and 50 pounds of camera equipment.

Living "off the land" takes on a new meaning as Les casts off for a week at sea. Battling hunger, thirst and the Caribbean heat, he must also keep his cameras dry to film the ordeal.

Soon after "abandoning ship," things begin to go badly. The life raft has a few bad leaks and needs constant bailing. It also leaks air and must be frequently reinflated with a hand pump. When a full-blown tropical storm descends on him, Les rides out the gale moored alongside the support vessel. The ocean is no place for senseless risks.

Eventually Les beaches on a deserted, palm-covered island where he is determined to remain for the few remaining days until his "rescue." As a final act before his support team plucks him from the island, Les finds a bottle, sticks a private message down its neck and throws the bottle into the ocean."
