Survivorman 2

[crawdad]

Anyone following? New shows on now and so far pretty good. Missed the "Alaska" show tonight. This season so far - Labrador, Kalahari, Amazon, S.Africa. I wonder if Les felt he needed to step it up to compete with 'Man vs Wild' though now canceled I believe. The shows from a few years back seemed the most relevant to MN though. Unlikely many of us find ourselves stranded in the Kalahari. New fire techniques each show...the vaseline/cotton balls/flint method seems very effective. There were a few new water retrieval methods too.

If he keeps up with the show, I'd love to see a MN episode! Any votes on location, time of year & equipment given? BWCA? Embarrass in January? Skeeter repellent or not!?

I've been watching and saw the Alaska one last night. I'll vote for Embarrass in January!

It's a good show and a good way to pick up a few pointers...He isn't a very good fisherman though, i don't think i've seen him catch a fish yet on any of the episodes..the show last night in AK he used a rotting salmon tail to try and catch salmon, he would have been better off using it to catch seagulls and eating them.

Survive a week with Jonny P during the winter on URL.

I have to agree on his lack of real survival fishing on some episodes. He's had some good rivers to try making a fishing fence, would've probably had some good luck with that. I just finished the Alaska show too, rotten fish bait? He ate it! Must have been some grubs somewhere those salmon would've liked. Hmmm...good for crawfish trapping though.

Then he almost burned his shelter down!

Have you ever tried some of the sea lettuce or water plants he had?

[crawdad]

He'd have to work on his igloo/snow shelter skills maybe he could do it. A lot colder than his Arctic excursion, which was spring/summer when he was there. A guy could probably do ok up here with a .22 for grub, but middle of winter would be pretty tough all around when it stays below 0 for weeks.

i have only watched a few shows but i like it. The Alaska show looks good and so does the rest of the season

I still liked Man Vs Wild better
