My Inner Geek just got all warm and squishy
For those who don’t know how high my dork-o-meter actually goes, over the past two years, I’ve become a huge, huge fan of the Science Channel. Ever since TiVo decided that the Science Channel was what I needed, I’ve been a huge fan, living for everything from "How It’s Made" to "Big Machines," to "Megastructures," to, my favorite, "Survivorman."
In Survivorman, one man, Les Stroud, is dropped someplace with a bunch of camera equipment, and has to live for a week. That’s it. Him. Cameras. No food, no water. He has to find it, eat it, drink it, all while filming it.
It’s worse than Heroin. It’s SO addictive.
Anyhow, I just got my latest Les Stoud update. Survivorman, the next series, is coming out. I’m so happy, it’s not even funny.

welcome to the club of dorks… dorks have more character than anyone. lol and are usually much smarter. ;p
watch: Don’t forget your passport, how it’s made, (wait you listed that) oh and of course the history and discovery channel….
You’d be surprised how much stuff I’ve learned from watching survivorman…. especially when camping.. the moss from tree’s really works for starting fires… try it… wait. can you camp where you live? ;P I dont think you have easy access to camping like we do here.
my former roommate wrote an article about Les Stroud and he contacted her personally to ask him to do further writing for him. Apparently he’s just as cool in life as on tv. Though he was conned into doing an Adventure Race last summer and hadn’t realized how intensive it would be. He wasn’t happy.
