[pct-l] Man vs Wild

[Will Hiltz]

People-- come on, lets be serious... what Bear is doing is not meant to be
practical survival advice.  If thats what you want, watch Survivorman.  I
would think that any of us that have been in the outdoors even in passing
would realize that you're not supposed to be emulating those moves.  I mean,
rappelling down a waterfall with a rope made out of vines?  Seriously, you
are contemplating that?  Spare me your faux-outrage...



YITOOD,

Easy
