Bear Grylls could do it too ! Do you get his TV shows there ? He's an ex
British Special Services survival specialist, and he's a sort of cross
between an escaped mental patient, and Steve Irwin ... Totally mad, but
full
of *really* useful and practical nuggets of survival technique. He really
is
the sort of bloke that you would want with you, if you found yourself
somewhere really inhospitable ...

Yeah, he's here. Um, I know it's bad form to denigrate the dead, but are
you implying that Steve Irwin *wasn't* an escaped mental patient?

Maybe I'm delusional, but somehow I don't think I'm going to be walking
down an unfamiliar street in a foreign city, take a wrong turn, and find
myself in the middle of a simmering lava field... so I might never need
a friend like Bear.

Ah, but one day, you might be taking a well earned vacation, and have your
plane come down in deepest Alaska in the winter (it got blown off course,
and couldn't spot its own navigational problems, because by then, lead-free
solder had crept into avionics, and a tin whisker had compromised the
primary navigation computer in such a way as not to be spotted by the pilot
:~} ) and only you and one other guy survive. Bet you'd be glad then that
you were sitting next to Bear ... !!
