I bought one Thursday and I was informed by Richard, (bloke in the shop?), that only six or so have been sold. Are you all insane? What is the problem? Its  a hat with Yellow Fever on it that just might save your life if you happen to survive a plane crash in the desert. I am reliably informed by something imaginary that speaks to me in my mind that Bear Gryll never leaves home without one. Hang your head in shame.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here is a picture of Bear moments after an Eagle swooped down and stole his hat. But you can tell by his eyes that he would get it back oh yes!

maybe the continuing lack of sunshine in Wellington has something to do with the poor sales? (and lack of eagles

 - I found Bear's hat tho'  - where do I return it to?

Bear is one cool fella and leads by example. I'd love to meet him. He'd be real handy if you were on a plane and survived a crash! I really enjoy hi show.

And Overhaulin. I wish they'd drag my 1989 Corolla away and do it up for me.

Has he got a whole camera crew with him though ?must be a bugger watching the sound man eating a donut and drinking a latte whilst your crunching a beetle and a couple of leafs!

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

Man! Can I have a copy of that picture. I want to hang it above my fireplace. It'll keep the kids away from the fire

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

No it won't

It'll make them want to throw the picture in the fire. Not worth the hassle.

It's only $20. A bargain. Keeps my neck from getting sunburnt now that I've lost the mullet.

I'm thinking of geting one for my nephew. He's stuck in a wheel chair and unfortunately the only hat like that he has is red so I shall convert him. He's already got the Bandana off me and a few other Nix items!

That desert island episode is so cool. Swims 5miles to the island (100m would kill me), doesn't get crushed against rocks, climbs a coconut tree, builds a shelter, has a lovu like thing, catches fish. Oh man it'd be cool to have a few days on a desert island to try and do stuff like that.

O yeah, the hat's vulgar.

Best episode is in the Rockies when he gets chased by a hungry Grizzly and when he gets worried he's not going to make it out he starts floating down a glacial feed river. Gets cold so starts doing press ups. Living legond

Can't remember which episode it is (maybe Scotland?!), when he cuts the skin off a dead deer and uses it as a blanket.

Brilliant.

Keep up lads, discovery channel is full of amazing shows.
 
Its on at 5.30pm on Sundays at the moment (could be on other times too).
 
Its about an ex-SAS dude who gets thrown into the middle of nowhere and has to survive and get out. He does some crazy stuff (Eg: Drinks from dried cow s**t, eats raw fish etc).
 
Theres nothing better on a Sunday hangover than watching it with a sloppy bowl of chinese.

one of the great moments was when he went fishing for piranhas. instead of using a fishing line, as most of us mere mortals might have tried, he made a bow and an arrow and shot them in shallow pools of water.
