Saw Survivorman last night

Its easy to poke holes in someone else mistakes. None of us knows everything. I know about my self i know less then 10% of what i should know and i go to practice what i do know and somethings that are new for one reason. To learn some more. He would say many times that he heard about this or that and that he is going to try that. So what if he fails. He has enough skills to fall back on. As it was said before if he had everything he needed to survive out there what would be the point of the show???????
As you all can see im driving my 40ft RV up the fire road. As soon as i get there and right after breakfast i would show you how to make a figure 4. After this it would be how to make a fire using some lighter fluid so we could have some steak for dinner.
How many of you would watch that. I think the best part of his show. he teaches not to give up look around you find what you can use and do something about it.

Last night was the first time I saw the Belize adrift in a raft show. He said it was a tropical storm and tethered to the sail boat which moved into the leeward side of an island putting the land between the storm and the ship. He stayed in the raft for the night.

From NOAA:
"Tropical cyclones with an organized system of clouds and thunderstorms with a defined circulation, and maximum sustained winds of 38 mph (61 kph) or less are called "tropical depressions". Once the tropical cyclone reaches winds of at least 39 mph (63 kph) they are typically called a "tropical storm" and assigned a name."

Unless he meant it was a storm and it was in the tropics, I doubt that was a tropical storm. It didn't sound like one to me. Also, they are well tracked, and they would have known about it well in advance. I am guessing it was a big thunderstorm, and I would not want to be in a raft even if it was tethered and close to an island during one.

Does the great white north have a different definition of Tropical Storm?
 
Probably about to the same degree someone from down there would have about a "snowstorm."

If it's stormy and snowing, you would probably describe it as a snowstorm. We would probably call it unusually mild weather.

If it was stormy and he was in the tropics, he probably called it a tropical storm (and technically I guess that would be true) but people from down that way would not consider it a tropical storm.
