freeflir29 0 #1 September 25, 2002 I thought it was funny. This guy MUST be one heck of a sailor and could obviously write a book on Open water survival. That is THE toughest place to survive. Obviously, he didn't have much problem. The Navy says he was cooking up a seagull on the Hibachi when the found him... www.cnn.com/2002/US/West/09/24/man.adrift/index.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TEB6363 0 #4 September 25, 2002 That guy kicks ass...... He lost 40 pounds, but the Captain on an interview today said he was in fine health. Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 #5 September 25, 2002 I heard the turtles tasted good as well. Apparently he had an extensive menu... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #6 September 25, 2002 QuoteApparently he had an extensive menu... Chicken, fish, amphibian.....sounds like a better diet than mine at the moment. I can't say I would want to eat a Sea Gull though. Reminds me too much of pidgeons.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cajones 0 #7 September 25, 2002 It's not the toughest place to survive, he had shelter, and so long as you have a means to catch fish and fresh water. The arctic on the other hand... The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #8 September 25, 2002 "I can't say I would want to eat a Sea Gull though. " I wish they were edible. Those little squeaking vultures. You can't sit outside in Florida without dealing with them. If you are at the beach, you can't leave food exposed for a second. They will swoop it while you are sitting there. You can always spot a tourist. They want the seagulls to take food from their hand. They hold the food over their head and look up. (That is what your face looks like after you learn that lesson - one eye closed). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #9 September 25, 2002 QuoteThe arctic on the other hand... Artic is easy!! Depending on where and what time of year. Tundra type..catch some ptarmigans during molting, club seals if you are near the water. Hunt down a Caribou.....and that other big furry thing ov...er.....POLAR BEEEEEAAARRRR!!!! RUUUUNNNNN!!!!!

Shark 0 #11 September 25, 2002 Actually, I don't think the guy wanted to be rescued.... Seemed was enjoying himself when the squids showed up. Now he goes back to the real world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was apparently breaking off pieces of the boat for firewood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
