Wednesday night in camp. Usual routine, dinner and a chat with the crew and then back to your room for some quiet time, maybe a cold beer and some crappy TV or a DVD. It aint much but it suits me fine up here.
.
Tonight's delectable serving of TV is Man Versus Wild: Bear Grylls. He's an ex British soldier who visits harsh landscapes and then shows you how to survive them. Tonight he's just base jumped out of a helicopter into the Sahara Desert in Morocco, eaten a camel spider - "arrgh an explosion of puss in my mouth, but it's good protein". Then he ate a scorpion followed by a small lizard "ahhhh tastes like blood, bone and grit". Yeah? Wow! Really? I'm suprised - not.
.
He's just dragged himself out of quicksand and fought off a cobra, oh and the whole time he is wearing a head dress he made out of his T-shirt which he then urinated on, "it doesn't sound pleasant but this moisture could mean the difference between life and death out here in these harsh conditions"
.
I guess I could use some of these tips if I ever got lost out here in the Great Western Desert, but the one thing you end up saying at the end of each of these episodes is simply "Why?"
.
Insane stuff, but kinda cool.
.
edit: He just sucked water out of sand......hey it worked, oh and on next weeks episode he's eating raw goats testicles........mmmmm Ihave to watch that.
.
The pic is just some rock formation that caught my eye up here a while ago, not the same texture as a raw camel spider but texture none the less.
