by Paula Neal Mooney I caught this dude Les Stroud -- aka SurvivorMan -- on The View yesterday, and I'm still thinking about him this morning so you know that's my cue to blog about him. Les Stroud hosts the Discovery Channel show called SurvivorMan , which tracks Stroud's survival in perilous locations with no food and water. SurvivorMan must do just that -- survive on his own, as a solo man. No fawning, background crew handing him KitKats. No paramedics on hand. Les Stroud is the real deal, no reality show fake is he. He has people drop him off in crazy and remote places and tells them to come pick him up after seven days. Seven days. Just SurvivorMan and his camera to film how he's getting along: making a fire out of an old gas can and its fumes, eating a scorpion after removing the stinger, or using his SurvivorMan mouth to pull the needle-like point off the top of a plant to reveal -- voila! -- the strong-as-hell thread attached. Who knew? I've read that...
