[pct-l] Survivor Man

[patti kulesz]

You can actually watch a couple of the episodes on youtbe...it's quite entertaining when u have the wilderness knowledge that we do..and being that I live in the land of stars I look for the obvious...like ok she's been scooting through the swamps and her pants are neither wet nor dirty...and her hair is still perfect...ahhh Hollywood.....lol I actually thought about applying for the part of being hunted....he wouldn't last 5 minutes with me...hehehe

I guess.  As I said this was the only episode I've watched.  I found it 
odd he carried carried all the necessary gear except for the two basic 
essentials on how not to get lost.   Where's the reality of hanging out 
for a few days trying to trap mice and not getting found.  Then when he 
makes it back to a clear mountain top, he leaves and goes back into the 
brush.  Also, I sure hope he didn't really abandon his some of his 
gear.  Why would he leave his tent behind, or his Lekis, only to find a 
stick to cross streams? 

I'll have to try a few more episodes, but it appeared to me, it wasn't 
about survival,  but how not to do it, ever.
