  1. I find the survival stuff interersting, but what really got my attention was the way that Bear was working through the terrain that Morgan and others traversed 300+years ago.  That is some nasty terrain today, and I don't imagine it was better then.

    Agreed. Those Mangroves did look nasty, and even though there is a lot controversy around his authenticity, he has some good points and the show is exciting to watch.

    I prefer Survivorman. Les Stroud actually goes out into the wild by himself and shows realistic ways of surviving various situations and how to avoid the more dangerous situations.

    I will go for that too. Shows you what a "normal" person should do if he should find himself in a situation while having an outdoor adventure. I would agree that his advice makes more since as I find myself being more capable of pulling off what he does to get out of a situation instead putting myself in a situation that may cause myself even more harm than I am already in. Referring to the same episode as Will but a little earlier in the broadcast, You wouldn't catch me going in to cavern unless it is the only way out, especially when there is plenty of daylight out.

  2. That's what it looked liked to me too. My sister sent that to me. I looked to see if was tampered with bu I couldn't tell. looked authentic to me> here is the story that goes with it.

    A family was on holiday in Australia for a week. When the husband, the

    wife and their 15 year old son decided to go scuba diving.

    The husband was in the navy and has had some scuba experience.

    His son wanted a pic of his m0m and dad in all their gear so got the

    under water camera ready to go.

    When it came time to take the picture, the dad realized that his son

    look like he was panicking. So he gave the 'OK' hand sign to see if he

    was alright.

    The son took the pic and swam to the surface and back to the boat as

    quick as he could. So his mom and dad followed to see if he was OK.

    When they caught up to him he was scrambling onto the boat. He was

    panicking.

    When the parents asked what is wrong, he said 'there was a shark behind

    you' The dad thought he was joking but the skipper of the boat said it

    was true.

    But they didn't believe him.

    As soon as they got back to the hotel they put the picture onto the

    laptop and this is what they saw.
