so recovering from back surgery and climbing mountains (no doubt with oxygen tanks and a full set of supplies) = survival skills... gotta love the logic
you obviously haven't watched his show much... the theme of every show is him showing you how to survive and get out.

bottom line... 20 years experience vs 3. hmm.

What made it obvious that I haven't watched his show much, was it the part where I said I'd only seen one episode? You've been arguing for 20+ years but a 3 year old could probably put together a more valid debate than you can on many subjects, so that trumps your "more experience is better" theory.

I bet you guys would also want toby mcguire with you in case you fell from a building. or you'd want tom cruise to be on your plane so he could take over since he's such a good pilot

edit: i actually would rather have edward grylls with me, in case i was accidentally airdropped into mexico

Maybe I just trust a guy that is trained by a military program that is respected around the world. And now you're faulting the guy for getting a college education?

keyword "short" career in the music industry. that's bc the other TWENTY years he was a wilderness guide and survival class instructor...

You trust your life with a guy that couldn't hold his job at a music company and ran away into the woods!
