wrongTim Treadwell was the ultimate survivor.
/thread
While on a canyoneering trip in Blue John Canyon (near Moab, Utah), a boulder fell and pinned his right forearm, crushing it. After five days of trying to lift and break the boulder, a dehydrated and delirious Ralston bowed his arm against the chockstone and snapped the radius and ulna bones. Using the dull blade on his multiuse tool, he cut the soft tissue around the break. He then used the tool's pliers to tear at the tougher tendons

Timothy Treadwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaTimothy Treadwell (April 29, 1957–October 5, 2003) was an American environmentalist and bear enthusiast who lived among the coastal brown bears of Katmai National Park in Alaska for approximately 13 seasons. At the end of his thirteenth season in the park in 2003, he and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were killed and partially eaten by a brown bear.
so you're telling me a guy who got eaten by a bear is a great survivalist? that doesn't make sense. you should be alive if you are that great.
survivorman is better than bear grylls. its funny i was having this same argument at a party 2 nights ago. the main thing i liked about survivorman was that he took his own camera equipment. bear has people following him around. they can and would help if bear was in real trouble. Les Stroud wouldnt have anyone, just like any other joe schmoe stranded in the middle of nowhere. also Les is more of an opportunist. he uses what he has. if you notice most of his episodes hes stranded with a broken down truck, or a down airplane, or a broken snow mobile. he just seems to give advice aimed at the normal person, not someone trained in the british special forces.
and yea, that ralston guy is BA.
That's sarcasm right? They put him in situations that may happen to a normal person.ROFL! Those guys were getting into this argument over these 2 shows. But if you think about it... how much bad luck can that dude have. Oh my ... my truck this week, snow mobile the next. Oh snap my airplane goes down this week. That dude must have broken 7 mirriors for that bad luck.
