That was awesome as well.<br /><br />Two other shows you might like are (if you haven't seen):<br /><br />Alone in Alaska: This is about one guy who built his own cabin and livelihood by hand in the wilderness. It's on PBS every now and then:<br /><br />http://www.dickproenneke.com/<br /><br />The other is about 4 guys who floated the entire length of the Yukon on a homemade raft several years ago. I saw it on Nat'l Geo a couple of times. That looks like an awesome adventure!<br /><br />You might like this video as well:<br /><br />http://www.bucktrack.com/Alaska_Brooks_Range_Traverse.html<br /><br />JeffThe Smoky Mountain Hikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019731497259511008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651656564842797172.post-16102791445692797742009-05-18T14:05:00.000-04:002009-05-18T14:05:00.000-04:00Jeff -
My wife and I are into this show big time...Jeff - <br /><br />My wife and I are into this show big time! What a great concept - except, along with the thrill of the episode, each week we sit and wish the entire time we were onboard for the trek!<br /><br />If you haven't already, check out last year's series - http://tinyurl.com/6r6qta. <br /><br />Instead of a thru hike, the volunteers were asked to make their own way to individual shelters (the group was split into smaller groups) and told to "survive" in the wild with limited resources for three months. Definitely worth looking back on to see the show's progression.<br /><br />Take a hike,<br />JustinJustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804348381191858141noreply@blogger.com
