Crass I know but still a possiblilty (and I'm feeling grumpy and dark after my shift today).

I hope it's just a case of him being mad at us and just doesn't want to play with us right now as opposed to the more tragic option.

I hope he comes back. There's a lot he can learn from y'all.

Ziggy, If you're lurking don't feel bad.

Just look at the butt chewing I got in the VT related posts.

And I'm still here. smile

THAT could be more instructive than you might first think! grin

I really don't think that 1k into the wilderness is all that dangerous. At night if you are only 1k from civilization, you can still hear cars. Talking to someone like they've never been outside may have been more of an insult than a help. Even if they don't find food for 3 days, chances are they wont die from starvation. I don't think it could be considered survival unless you have a chance to get good and hungry. Sounds like a fun camping trip to me and I think they should do it. My only suggestions would be to research the area and take water.

He was talking about Survival in the wilderness. As long as they make it a camping trip, 'they should be fine. Then they can carry sleeping-bags, tents, fuel,food, etc. But if you go into the wilderness (even 1k) without those things, and no-almost no knowlegde of the wilderness and a inaccurate picture of what survival is, then you're just asking for trouble...

What's the nearest SAR-team in Northwest Ontario?? crazy whistle

It looks like SAR won't be needed after all...it seems Ziggy never made it past his back yard.

I can't believe how many kids have seen Man vs. Wild and actually think they can/should do such nonsense. I've written the Discovery Channel of the dangers of that show. Les is legit but I think Ziggy is leaning towards the Bear Grylls paradigm, which IMHO is suicide.
