Hey magyver,

thanks for the post, I will definatly be looking for that book. The reason I find the show interesting is becuase for some reason I secretly love knowing about cool survival tips, such as starting fires, setting traps, what plants to eat. Maybe it's just basic instinct or something. I highly doubt I will ever need to use it, but its cool to know.

I agree with you that he does some things wrong in the show, you can probably catch more than I can. The last episode I watched was the one where he built a shelter far too close to a river. He even said "The only reason I am pitching my shelter so close to the river is for the ease of filming." I found that stupid coming from a survival show. Also in the last episode he walked across a glacier by himself after a fresh snowfall. If he came across a covered crevice, he would have been screwed. I also thought that was stupid.

But with that said, I just like the nature of the show. I wish there were more like it out there. There is just something cool about someone who can use three sticks, a big rock, and some bait to make a trap;)

-Daniel
