Survivor Man

This weekend we are heading over to the M.O.A. (for all you non-MN folk, M.O.A. = Mall of America) to see Mike's hero. The Suvivor Man, Les Stroud will be doing a meet and greet on Saturday. Les is Canadian so I'm looking forward to hearing his o's. You know, instead of saying the word 'about' - they say 'aboot'. Cracks me up everytime.

For all of you who don't know, Les Stroud (Suvivor Man) goes out into the wilderness and records himself. He basically is teaching you how to survive if you find yourself in the same predicament that he has willingly put himself in. He doesn't have anyone else with him (no camera crew). Each show is usually 2 nights and one full day of taping then he makes it to his specific pick-up area.

When I was seaching for an image of him I came across this picture to use and the site was talking about how good looking he is.

Never thought of you that way suvivor man, sorry. I'm more of a 'Man vs. Wild', Bear Grylls fan.

There's a big controversy over Man vs. Wild. Bear Grylls does the same basic show as Les Stroud with a few minor differences. Bear has a camera crew with him and sleeps in a hotel every night (they don't portray it that way - but he's been busted recently). All of his shows have the same 'story line' too. Wherever he is Bear always eats a snake -or an equally gross thing, takes off his shirt, and tells a story about how a hiker recently died right where he was. Even if Bear is a fake - I'd still rather watch him.
