Firstly, let me just say I am not interested in hearing your comments like, “Bear’s fake!” or “Les Stroud for president!” You can keep that hogwash to yourself thankyouverymuch.

The new season of Man vs. Wild starts this November, and this season, each episode is two hours long rather than one hour long which is vewy, vewy exciting. Here’s a bit of what Bear had to say in regards to their recent filming in Panama:

I have just got home from the Panama jungles - and it is no wonder the US sent so many of their SEALS and Astronauts to train there in jungle survival - it is definitely one of the toughest places I have been. I counted over 104 mosquito bites when I had a shower at the end!
The mangrove swamps were pretty hellish and I managed to get bitten by a snake for the first time which hurt! But apart from that I had a very special time with the Embera Tribe hunting together, and then following the old Gold trails of the Camino Real. We also filmed quite a bit of behind the scenes with the crew and safety team for Discovery Channel, to accompany the new Season that airs in early November.

We included as well a whole part of the show on survival ‘camouflage and concealment’, near the infamous Darien Gap on the Colombian border, which is one of the kidnapping hot spots of the world. I hope you will enjoy this show, it was gritty, dirty, humid and at times tasted foul!

It’s pretty much the only TV show I watch that isn’t on Discovery or the History Channel. I didn’t get to see 24 last night so if I see you, DO NOT TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED, or I will have to go all Jack on your hind end and ship you off to China in two handbags (Versace and Gucci) and a burlap sack.

Das right.

…and NO, I do NOT have a man crush on Jack Bauer. Well, not a full on man crush anyway.
