Pfft. Week, motherfarka.

Oh yeah? I didn't have a pillow, I had to use a jacket instead! Take that!

Is it too early for me to use my internet GED in Medicine to diagnose PTSD?

Suck it, Bear Grylls

What's the matter, Bear Grylls? Your bladder wasn't producing fluid?

I was once locked outside of a liquor store for 24 hours.

Wow. What a harrowing tale. How ever did he manage to stay alive for 15 hours in the forest?

FloydA: I was once locked outside of a liquor store for 24 hours.

It's ok, someday it will be ok, but now you know. Always carry an emergency flask of rum with you!

BurnShrike: Wow. What a harrowing tale. How ever did he manage to stay alive for 15 hours in the forest?

He's lucky he wasn't eaten by beavers or something.

heh heh.... Donner party of one....
15 hours and needed to drink swamp water to survive... I wonder if he thought about cutting off his leg for something to eat.

RE: the picture accompanying the article...that's a Hurr Durr picture if I ever saw one.

I'm thinking more, "Who farted, eh?"

You just have to sew some sleeves onto a vest. But that's not important right now.

Weaksauce. Based on past experience, I'm good for up to 3 days of moderate walking and no food.

Oh, the humanity! I hope S&R spared no expense and had every available copter circling the area and tracking dogs on his trail. As a taxpayer, I'm TOTALLY ok with the expense.

TOTALLY.

Someone needs to post the Bear Grylls drinks his own piss .jpg

One of the good things about being overweight... 15 hours of no food is nothing.
Maybe I put too much gas in my gas tank, but there's several people where I work who at least once a day look like they're about to pass out until they go eat something. Stop running on fumes!!!

Can't wait for the movie!

There are swamps in Ontario? Or really, isn't that just the permafrost melting?

mikdeetx: There are swamps in Ontario? Or really, isn't that just the permafrost melting?

In northern Canada it's generally called muskeg. Very similar to a swamp down south during the summer months.

I'm waiting for the book. I always like to read these survival books before the movie comes out.

MaudlinMutantMollusk: Suck it, Bear Grylls

Well, this guy IS a better survivalist than Bear. He didn't need a farking motel.

Stonicus - that's not from lack of body fat, that's from too much sugar in the diet. Very few people have too little body fat to survive for less than a week on nothing but water; most of us can go far longer. It's the insulin resistance developed over time from a high carb diet that makes a person dizzy when he's only gone a few hours without food. It's why fatties are so hungry all the time (I know, I was one until I stopped eating all that processed crap that passes for food nowadays.)

What the article didn't mention is he went with 2 other people but had to resort to cannibalism after the first 6-hours...

CravenMorehead: Can't wait for the movie!

...or I guess I could have read all the comments before making my own dumb joke.

mikdeetx: There are swamps in Ontario? Or really, isn't that just the permafrost melting?

Believe it or not, I was told Ontario has the second largest swamp in North America, next to the Okeepenokee or whatever you call it down south.

/not so interesting factoid

To make things even more interesting, he killed 16 Czechoslovakians and he was an interior decorator.

I had to spend a weekend at my GFs parents cabin in the woods w/parents, 10 miles from anywhere without vodka.

This reminds me of some farker's recent CSB that they once walked two miles to buy a Stephen King novel. Two miles! Oh the humanity! What a fan that man is! Presumably he took a backpack full of cheeseypuffs and mountain dew to ward off starvation on that heroic quest. Is this the same guy? Is there a new Stephen King book out?

FloydA: I was once locked outside of a liquor store for 24 hours.

I once tried to buy a 6-pack of beer at a convenience store in Topeka, Kansas on a Sunday.

/fortunately they allow buying drinks at bars on Sundays
//the hotel I was staying had a bar
///problem solved

Toronto man.....says it all.

Is it the Leafs?

I went to a festival once, and on day two the wine box ran out. Grim times. I mean, you should have seen the queue in the beer tent.

And probably no Internet.

I'm not gonna lie, if my name was Donner I would never leave the city limits.

I rarely get tired... And I don't eat a lot of sugar... but I eat my body's weight in meat... =P

I spent 5hrs alone in a kayak today... ON TIDAL WATER and I had to paddle... AGAINST THE TIDE.. I survived on nothing but a gallon of water and Gatorade. ... Whoooa is me..

A picture of said swamp....well, for 41 nights a year at least (since they will never make the playoffs)

Wait, this last guy's name was "Donner"? That's like having the last name "Manson" and making the news because you made a kid cry because you pretended you had his nose.

When did canadians become such pussies? Was this an edict from the queen?

When a person is "lost" for 15 hours, nothing that he does is considered as survival.

Ponzholio: What the article didn't mention is he went with 2 other people but had to resort to cannibalism after the first 6-hours...

This.

Sources say his grueling hike through that slightly overgrown starbuck's parking lot clearly took years off his life, and family is demanding compensation..

DownDaRiver: I had to spend a weekend at my GFs parents cabin in the woods w/parents, 10 miles from anywhere without vodka.

10 miles from anywhere without vodka? That doesn't sound too bad.

The real story is when they find out what happened to the friends he was camping with.

sno man: Donner

FTA: Donner was reported missing the previous day, after he did not return from a walk while camping with friends over the long weekend.

I wonder how many of his friends returned. Do not go camping with a man named Donner.
