It's about Survival
This week I've been watching episodes of Man vs Wild...in which the host demonstrates techniques for survival in various extreme climates and scenarios. Earlier this afternoon I watched an episode where he was in the Australian outback with little water and no provisions. To keep the sun off his head, he took off his boxers and wrapped them as a headdress. When his water ran out....before he was able to locate a spring, he had to drink his own urine.
This afternoon, after driving downtown to meet my wife and attend the Taste of Edmonton, I had to use a number of these survival techniques, and I was so thankful I'd seen them demonstrated. As we had about 11 blocks to walk each way, the sun beating down on me was relentless....so I took off my undies and wrapped them around my head. After the satay chicken, I was overcome with thirst, and succumbed to the inevitable. People gave me some pretty funny looks. I guess they give you a bit more leeway when you have a film crew with you....
