I completely agree with study and observation, but knowledge is useless without training and application to promote muscle memory.

It is easy to watch someone pressure-flake obsidian into points, but can you do it yourself?

It is easy to understand the principles of marksmanship, but can you consitently hit targets at 300m?

As Nike Inc. said many years ago, "Just Do It!"

"Stop the feed; kill the TV!

maybe you/we spoke too soon? and bear grylls of all people!

That was a smart boy!

As I wrote before, I believe in education plus action.

My guess is, he now has a substantial wealth of wisdom, having executed that education.

Hopefully the trail guide/parent was reprimanded for lack of oversight.

The best thing about any of these tv shows is they make you think. I know, tv and thinking? Any show that interviews the real deal people about shooting(Clint Smith), leagalities(Massad Ayoob), etc.,can't be bad. This new show Best Defense, Survival, interviews real first responders to start with,about what has happened, and what could happen in a disaster.

We the People need to all the education we can get - from every source possible. This is one of those cases where there is never enough.

I think he did well for a 9 year old, but tearing up your rain jacket seems stupid to me. I can leave plenty of "signs" of my presence without loosing valuable clothing that could be the difference between hypothermia and just being miserable.

I would typically agree that ditching clothing is not smart but for a 9 year old lost in the woods he was doing what he thought was right. If he had as much life experience as an adult he may have made a different choice, however most adults don't take rain jackets anywhere they go.

I'd love to get my hands on a few episodes on a DVD, anyone that has access to it, I'll buy!
