I'm really enjoying this, but am only up to #4 so far.

I also wondered about the sheetrock; I guess I assumed maybe they needed a large load and just couldn't get a delivery to them. But why not take a load at at time with the pickup?

I laughed at his cabin because the inside is just like my cabin.

LOL...you're very welcome danoon. Whew...that's one gift down.

BTW, Survivorman comes on tonight (Friday) at 8 p.m. (central) on the Discovery Channel. The 2007 season started last night, but it was a rerun!

I really liked seeing the clips but...
He is in no way living the survivor life.
He isn't trying to.
He just wants to live off grid. He owns every piece of equipment one can get and heck, he had lumber brought in by helicopter.
They still go out to work and talked about bring groceries in a little at a time in the winter.
They will need to rethink that though and stock up some. But now that they will be feeding a bunch of raiding coons they better come up with some tight storage.

Corky...guess you haven't seen the series? He is dropped off in rough territory with limited tools for seven days. He has to film himself and walk out of the place.

NOPE! I live in the good old USA and don't get the program.

I thought it was about their place they are building to live on.

It is great that he has the money and wants to do that. The kids will have good memories.

If you haven't watched it yet I can't tell you anything.

I hate it when someone spoils a show for me.

enjoy!

They've been showing a lot of last season lately. They are advertising the new season starts the 15th. I really liked his "Off the Grid". It was shown on Canadian tv but I guess not down here yet.

Yep, they're gone. It says "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation."
