I’ve listened to my kids talk about Man vs. Wild alot over the past few weeks, but just started watching it with them a few days ago.

I am hooked.

In the first place, the man is good-looking, even when he’s eating a grub or killing a trout by eating it alive.

In the second place, the man is a bad ass.    (You’ll have to watch the show to see what I’m talking about.)

In the third place, the man is just plain cool.  (Youngest Briton to scale Everest, after having his back broken in 3 places while in Britian’s special forces.  He parachutes into dangerous locales, then has to “survive” his way out with nothing but a flint, a knife and his backpack.  And he does it.)

He’s awesome.  There will be a hero like him turn up shortly in one of my books.  Count on it.  And his name is Bear.  Love that, too.
