As most of the rest of the free world already knew, Les Stroud has announced his retirement from the popular Discovery Channel series Survivorman.
For those of you not familiar with Surviorman, Les ventured into various wilderness scenarios with little to no food, water, or equipment to survive for 7 days. He filmed it himself, with no camera crew.
Surviorman was sometimes the only reason I kept my satellite service turned on. My personal favorite episode was Les’ week in the Kalahari Desert, eating scorpions and a massive ostrich egg. What was your favorite Surviorman episode?
While the rest of America fawns over American Idol, the Discovery Channel is airing new episodes of Man Vs. Wild, with (in)famous host Bear Grylls. Bear got in a little flap a while back for airing episodes cut to make it look like he spent days in the wilderness, when actually he was staying in town at night. The funniest take I’ve seen is the renaming of the show to “Man Vs. Hotel.” Anyway, yes, I know it’s most likely fake, just like wrestling. But I watch anyway because I want to be entertained on a work night. For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, check out this video.
Doesn’t that look fun?
And lookie here.. turns out ole Bear has a blog… this should be interesting.
