'Into The Wild' : National Geographic 2009

I've seen both the films mentioned already on this board.

This new film is just now being provided on cable tv.

The man who is filmed, or actually films himself, was/ is athletic and has as I recall "trekked to the North Pole" and " summited mt. Everist." But, he isn't an outdoorsman nor a survivalist.

Yet, he always wanted to try his hand at survival. So, he set himself a goal of surviving in the Canadian wilderness Yukon for 90 days. He goes in with some standard backpacking type gear & a canoe brought in by plane, and the rest of it is his own attempt to go solo.

The region is beautiful and he is alone. He is scared of the bears which he routinely either sees or sees their scat. He begins to lose weight. Living on the land is easier said than done.

I suggest you all check it out. I won't tell you much more. They've had two episodes already which brought him to about the 5 week point. Remember his goal was 90 days ALONE.
