Alone In The Wild TV show?

I forgot to add that hallucinations are very common with extreme sleep deprivation. Someone mentioned that he was seeing bears that may or may not have been there. Sleep deprivation or an overactive imagination may account for that. After going days without sleep I tend to see shadowy movements in my peripheral vision at night. The shadows are large and at first I thought they were cows but no one else in my unit saw them. I have known tons of guys who have similar experiences in the military (although theirs may not be bovine in nature!).

Like I said before, I haven't seen this show, so I'm just throwing in some possible explanations. Could be the guys a loon, he bit off more than he could chew, he never belonged there in the first place, or maybe there are physiological reasons for what happened to him. Maybe a combination of some or all of the above. Either way, I can't stand whining, so maybe I wouldn't enjoy watching it to begin with.

You being from Brooklyn too...you gotta know that all that crying doesn't sit well with the average guy. LOL. The least he could have done is turn off the camera when he thought he was going to start crying.

I'm just not with all the disrespectful comments being posted. The man accomplished some things that most of us would never be able to do ...
Spending 50 days alone in the unforgiving wilderness of Northern Canada is a pretty significant feat. Sure we'd all like to think we have the skills to do so but until someone actually goes out and proves it it's all chest pounding. Yeah the incessant crying and whining was a bit much but by no means does Ed Wardle need to turn in his "man-card".

Agreed.

I think his survival skills were probably better than mine(except for him not wanting to shoot a squirrel...). He should have built a log shelter(similar to the one for cooking) around his hammock if he was that concerned. Not that that would really stop a grizzly. I personally couldn't take the constant crying.
