The man spends a week at a time surviving in some of the worst places on earth, swims with sharks, built a house which can run on solar power and God knows what else. and you are going to call him wrong?
Does anyone else think this demonstrates exactly what NOT to do in a survival situation?
the fact that he has lived through a lot of REAL survival situations and not just sat at home reading books about it should suggest that he may be the one doing it right.
For example, after using lint from his socks to start a fire, he started preaching the virtue of "always wearing cotton socks"
He did it though didn't he? cant really argue with a guy who spends his time outdoors doing this sort of thing for a living. who the heck are we to tell him it should be done a different way?
that is just flat out wrong as far as I have been taught.
maybe what you were taught was wrong. Or maybe there is MORE THAN ONE way of looking at things. If he does it then it obviously works for him.
Anyone agree or disagree?
Whatever the man does or does not do, agree or disagree he makes it work. and has managed to survive some real world stuff. It is easy to give opinions from home sitting on the couch with a beer in hand and a bag of chips with feet up, warm and dry. but things are different when WE are the ones out there. unless you can HONESTLY say that you have done more, then it would be hard to say someone else has done dumb or boneheaded things.
I think that when I have my own hit TV show and I am internationally recognized as SURVIVORMAN I will have better judging ability on what is right and wrong in a survival situation.
