 |  | hey tel, what more would you like to have seen? The man could have died in this situation even with all that gear. Seriously though.. he had to be rescued. I don't think he had anything more than anyone else who would be out dog sledding would have.... |
That is true Daffy, it was a very dangerous place to be even with all of those things that a regular dog sledder would have (I don't know about the sleeping bag though ). And your right again when you said that he had to be rescued, I thought he had to also be rescued, it was a life or death situation and I for one wouldn't risk my life for a film.

I kind of wonder if all the STARVATION events that Les Stroud is going through could affect his metabolism. Maybe cause some diabetic issue?

Yeah i was wondering that too, it is good to go on a fast once in a while, it burns all the junk thats in your stomatch. However doing this on a monthly basis cant be considerd good in the long run.

Les' knife in this episode looks very similar to the "Buck 119 Special" I picked up a couple weeks ago.

There's a good reason for that, as Dave said.

This is by far my favorite episode if you go dog sledding wouldn't you bring a sleeping bag with you just in case I am glad he used the survival cabin then he can conserve energy for hunting and fishing
