Oh Snap!
Bear's butt arse nekkid. Why? Because he had to show us how to survive falling into a ice covered lake in the European Alps....
He might give Future Weapons a real challenge for my attention.... |

Hell yes. Every day. My apartment is tiny. No bathtub. Sometimes the water is too freakin cold or hot. No decent Mexican food to be found anywhere. |

I mean, the story starts with a guy and his friends going for a hike. Half an hour later, the guy is pinned under a boulder on top of a shark-infested mountain, watching helplessly as monkeys eviscerate the bodies of his dead buddies, then he looks down to see a maggot orgy in his now rotting foot. I honestly think I would jab my eyes out with my thumbs and use a stick or something to scrape around in my brain until it all just stopped.
Ah, but the happy ending�
At the end of the show you see that the guy was rescued and rehabilitated and now has a prosthetic head and lives in a hyperbaric chamber because they didn�t find him until the maggots had eaten all of his skin. Can you guess what he�s doing? Hiking the exact same woods in his skin bubble. |

| Yep, with a bunch of unemployed kids on a 5 day hike in winter through the southern alps of new zealand. Half our group of 30 got hypothermia the 2nd day resulting in them laying down in the snow halfway up a hill we had to climb to get to our camping spot. Half the survivors took the others packs for them and went up the hill to make a camp and fire (about a 40 minuts hike) while me and a few others herded the rest up the hill. Quite funny now but at the time dealing with nancy boys who were laying in the snow screaming "leave me, i just want to die" was a bit disconcerting. Nothing to do but pick them up, slap their face (hard) and kick their asses up the hill. Me and a couple of other guys headlined the 6pm news after the army came in and choppered us out. |

I've already seen all the shows coming to Korea for the next few years....I watch this show when there is nothing else on (yeah, I just came <back> to Korea...so I saw them Stateside).
Bugger...how many years will it be until I get to see something I haven't seen yet (regarding TV)?
The show is like watching a B Horror movie...you still yell "run beetch run" knowing full well it's just poor acting...save he's somethin' ta teach...'cause, ya know...it's likely I'd be stuck in the Alps.
!shoosh,

| Oh, thanks awfully for pointing that out to me, really good work there. What sort of a payment plan do you have worked out with Mr sperling to catch little mistakes like that?, i bet it's a pearler. May i please amend my kids comment to "youth from the ages of 16-24". Thanks ever so much once again hammer and please continue with such great work. The world needs more people like you. |

Well...he blurred out from his crotch region. There was no major difference in color pixelation (if there is such a word) so I think he was nekkid. |

Great show.
as the OP says though- the main element of survival is psychological, and that guy knows he's got a camera team to get him out if things get really serious.

Does this qualify, assuming cangel is male, as being half-gay to notice that?

Wrong. He can just hitch a lift.
