Alone in the wild - Who's watching?

[JMAN86]

I think most if you are dismissing the fact that the premis of the series involved sending an "average Joe" into the bush. Not some self proclaimed, alpha male, survival guru.

I didn't see that. He did have a shotgun as well that he killed the porcupine with.

you guys make some good points that ANYONE can be thrown into a survival situation.

Another idiotic move. Porcupines have few predators. I kill them with a stick.
That's a complete waste of a shotgun shell and sends every other animal packing.
I had one climb in my bedroom a few months back and both bulldogs hit him. Big trouble.
I grabbed it by the tail, threw it in the bathroom and tended to the dogs. Then I went in and finished him with a maglight.
Fed him to the dogs the next day....after atropine and histaminex

I saw two of the episodes and had to stop. He did cry a lot and he missed a squirrel with a shotgun. Whatever happened to the animal nature in man? I work in a hospital, under artifical lights and sterile environments and I can't wait for time off to go out camping or backpacking. I crave even a weekend where I can go out on a night hike alone in the woods at my state park. The cool night air, the dim light of the moon, there is something that makes me feel more alive. When was the desire lost to be out in nature? When were we taught to fear nature and not be apart of it?

you can thank the school system, the nanny state, media, facebook, twitter, ipod, youtube, etc etc etc

Spoiler!


Wasn't this the guy that had to be rescued because he was starving?
There were a couple of threads on him in the past.
