    I grew up when both Survivorman and Man vs Wild were releasing new episodes on TV. The difference between the two couldn't have been more diffent. Instead of unneeded drama and reality like TV, Les showed what real survival was. Bear Grylls would show the average joe how to repel down a cliff with jungle vines and then dive bomb into a waterhole with your 20 team production crew.

    That first sound Les heard sounded like a lion. I'm thinking the lion sensed a challenger was breaching his territory and he was sending a warning saying "Get out!" When the lion saw the flame thrower, it was thinking. "Ah hell with that, I ain't get burned to death by that fire breathing beast over there."

    @Jonas Smith, what are you talking about? Hollow point ammunition is extremely common for handguns. Even the police use them because the bullet will stop in the target rather than traveling through and potentially hitting anything behind.

    I love les . To me theres no one better and im sure hes learned this since this episode. But the part where he wets the bandana and places it to his neck, he is right to cool the arteries. But by blotting them. There are nerve endings in the back of your neck that send signals to your brain telling it you need to warm up or cool down. In this instance the cloth in the neck makes the brain tell the body to sacrifice other organ functions to warm the core and vitals if left on or done to often for too long.
