Mr. Ivy has been watching a whole lot of shows like Man Vs. Wild and Survivorman lately. I don't know if he's planning a trip to Outer Mongolia or what, but he sure is digging those shows. Me, I'm interested a bit, mainly when they show you things you can eat that normally nobody sane would consider food.
Between the two, I prefer Man Vs. Wild, since he sets up fake scenarios that one could really find themselves in. Well, that and I think the Survivorman guy is kinda irritating. What fascinates me about both shows is how many insects are good protein. I often think about survival situations and whether I could eat a bug or not, and after watching these shows, I think I'd rather eat a bug than gut a boa constrictor or something. I mean, really, just ewww.
What do you think of these survival shows? Interesting or disturbing?




Both! Interesting mostly, disturbing, definitely. Doesn’t hurt that Bear Grylls is handsome. Makes watching him juice elephant dung for hydration a bit more tolerable.
