Man vs. Wild

Bulgron,

Really? "Stuck"?

Let's agree to disagree.

Lost = Unable to find one's way.

Examples of media saying they were lost.

Once they realised they were lost, Gilles Nayral said, they built a branch shelter where they stayed for three weeks, lighting fires in hope of being spotted

PARIS — One of two hikers who became lost in the dense jungle of French Guiana and survived for seven weeks on beetles, frogs and tarantulas has returned home to France, frail and with a thick beard, "tired but happy."

shrug. Not an argument worth having. I'll just note that the reason why I think they were "stuck" and not "lost" is because of this from the original post in the thread in question:

"We underestimated the difficulty of getting through the forest," said a bearded Pillois ....

....

They walked four or five hours a day, said Pillois, but after 12 days, when they had still not reached their planned destination, "we stopped in a clearing and we made a fire because we thought so helicopters could see us."

I suppose that when they said "We underestimated the difficulty of getting through the forest," what they meant is that it was hard to navigate there. But that wasn't (and still isn't) my reading of the article.

As you said, let's agree to disagree.

The navel gazing was your idea. Maybe he just does not like killing animals, like he said.

Then he should change the name of the show to "The Gentle Survivalist".
Survival isn't a game, or some sort of eco friendly spiritual movement. You live or you die. You can eat and live, or die. What's more feasible, gathering roots, or killing an animal for the protein?
