Man vs. Wild

The other night, some friends came over and we were watching the Discovery Channel show Man vs. Wild. It's a show demonstrating outdoor survival. At the beginning of each show, the host, Bear Grylls, parachusetts off of an airplane into "the wild" - it could be anywhere in the world. He has nothing except for a water bottle and a knife. His objective is to survive until he finds civilization.

In the episode we watched, Bear got dropped off in the middle of the Kenya. He couldn't find water for a long time and he was dehydrated. When he found fresh elephant dung, he picked it up, squeezed the water out of it, and drank that. It was very gross.

It was difficult to travel in the middle of the day because of the heat, so Bear travelled by night. When he came accross a lone elephant, I shouted, "what's the elephant doing out in the middle of the night?!" In reply, and with a smirk on her face, Wendy said, "well, what else is the elephant going to do at night?"

Nice.
