Mark vs. Wild: The Rocky Mountains

So, last night I had a great time, and I finally put together the Mark vs. Wild video that I’ve had laying around for the last two months. I put it up on the video page, check it out! I apologize now for the constant girl-ish giggling of the camera-woman. I was just having too much fun, I guess.

It is a rather large file. Evidently adding the soundtrack, while lots of fun to do, made the file bloat a bit. Just be patient during the download, I guess.

I am aware of the fact that Mark and I are probably two of the total maybe 10 people in the world who Tivo Man vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel. We find it hi-larious, and fully entertaining. Poor Bear, he puts himself through so much trauma just in case we might someday get lost on a volcano in Hawaii.

Thus, if you’ve never seen the show, the video clip may not make a ton of sense (or be nearly as funny as it was for us to make it). There are clips of the show on the fansite, and here are a few more from You Tube: frozen Lake in the European Alps, bad night in the rainforest, and silly fun in the Moab desert.

  • Awesome! I’m waiting for the next episode!

  • That’s it, I’m crossin’ some frozen creeks this weekend…

  • Classic. I’m loving it!

  • Oh, that’s awesome! Calders on ice are always a good time.

  • Thanks everybody!! I’ll see what we can do about getting more episodes out (hopefully with less over-laughter by the camera woman, if I can control myself). We’re hoping to grapple such scary and important survival issues as: “How to dig a snow cave in your drive way” and “How to go to the bathroom in the snow.” Should be thrilling!!

  • Great! Good to hear that you guys are doing well. I wouldn’t worry about the giggling — it was probably my favourite part — nothing like the camera person being so overcome by the absurdity of it all.

    As for Man vs Wild, I haven’t seen it, but my sister’s husband Tivos it constantly, along with the “I shouldn’t be alive” show, which is pretty much “You are too stupid to live” show.

  • Thanks Doug! I’m glad the laughing didn’t detract from the drama of the moment. :) If your sister’s husband also tivo’s it, that means the total number of known tivo-ers of Man vs. Wild is up to … 3! Maybe 10 was an over-estimate.
