Tonight on the Discovery Channel is Man Vs Wild and it is being filmed near my home. Man vs. Wild: Oregon Bear Grylls takes on Hell's Canyon in Oregon, where snowdrifts, frozen lakes, burnt out forests and frigid white-water rapids await.
So Quigs....... if you see a raggedy looking guy stumbling up to your property, don't fire until you've scanned for a camera man.
"I 've been dropped into this beaUUUtiful valley with my knife, the clothes on my back and my wattah bot-tul; there' s a wily old hermit shooting at me from his cabin and I 'm going to show you how to call in an airstrike and survive.."
Bear was guided by a gentleman here that goes by the name JP (Jim Powel) There filmed it in the seven devils region of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comHells Canyon</st1lace>. They used jet boats for back up in the river crossing, and they caught the sucker fish for Bear and also the guide built a ring of rocks to hold it in that pool for Bear to spear it. All in all he got the thumbs up from the local guides as doing what it shows. Also DC now is interested in hiring the guides here for other shows because of their willingness to do what ever they wanted and not complaining and backing out. Guess they build them tougher here…LOL
