Things I Want to Do: Survivorman Experience
Have you ever watched that show Survivor Man on the Science channel? This outdoor enthusiast is dropped off in the middle of nowhere all by himself, with very little gear, no food, water, etc… Basically he puts himself each week in a new survival situation and films himself err… surviving. Each show he’s in a different location: could be middle of the African plains, a Georgia swamp or the Canadian Rockies. Wherever he goes you know it’s going to be a remote place known for it’s harsh environment. He brings random things with him on the trip, usually whatever he has in his pockets at the time. One show, I think it was the one he did in the swamp he used a stale Doritos chip to make a fire. Bad Ass.
I don’t know if I can conjure flames from snack chips but I do know I would love to give a try.I want to be dropped off in the middle of nowhere and see if I kick into survival mode. I wonder how far I would go to survive? Would I be able to kill animals to live? Yikes! I don’t know. I think you would really have to feel that your life was in danger to have an authentic adventure. Scary!
