Three Words: "Deer Hoof Slippers"

he has a stare that would make Clint Eastwood cold.

Fun to watch.

Bigfoot slippers would be better no one can seem to find any of them.
Besides you would have to use 4 of those deer slippers which would me you would be on all fours.
He would see through just 2 tracks.
Definitely bigfoot!

So, you signing up then? Betcha (heh Sarah Palin) that'd be a popular episode.

Kate...I'm laughing picturing you in 'heels'.
But I have no doubt you could beat him.
When are you going on?

I'm never going on. He'd run me down like a poodle in the street.

A girl can fantasize, though....

Oh, for Pete's sake.

You know, I've been saying for years that between UFC and Survivor, reality TV is eventually going to give us a real-life version of The Running Man. One step closer to the goal.

Which reminds me of my other great show idea:

"Survivor: Resolute"

Well if you won't go on TV, how about going to London !!

Pretty close,Kate.I was thinking Survivor,North Pole Ice Cap Melt.

Some of the runners do a good job of evading, but I wonder if they'd do better without the cameraman? I suppose I should stop confusing reality TV with reality.

Great Show....watch it with my daughter.

My sister in law is in a walk on in the one of the episodes they did in the Yukon.

So maybe WK and Lucy can be his sidekicks as ManTracker hunts Nazi's in washrooms with clues from stolen WiFi links across the country.

My great show idea is Survivor: Denotational Semantics,
as a result of which I'm definitely not quitting my day job.

On the other hand, of course, I stopped watching TV when
the food network started moralizing, so what do I know?

The 3 man shows are the best

The Man Show
Mantracker
Man vs. Wild

Phil...you forgot ManAnswers!!

Go for it, Kate, 'cause I can't think of any other reason to buy "deer legs".

Well, except to torment and terrorize greenies.

How 'bout Survivor:

anyone recognize that place? I'd like to see Jeff Probst host an elimination there....

@mungman, 9:19pm

The photo at the link is CFS Alert. So far north you can't see geosynchronus satellites. Three months solid dark with three months solid daylight and assorted twilight and whatnot in between.

It's a nice place to visit (done that twice; six months at a stretch each time) but I wouldn't want to live there. :)

@ russtovich

CORRECT, that didn't take long, let see from the prize buck you get..... oops, sorry prize bucket is empty today. I might get up there (only for a week tho) coming up in the next year, and my kids think they want to come too.

At least the polar bears don't go that far north usually, don't need any survivors chased around by them (but it would make for good tv)

I agree - Bigfoot.

On the end of strap-on stilts to increase the stride.

heh....i'm impressed... BUT my ex but two old lady had REAL tracker skills....admittedly urban tracking skills but man o man she could run me down every time i went AWOL for a little R and R.....there wasn't a friend i had....a bartender i knew that didn't start running off at the mouth whenever "Mannix" as i called her commenced her interrogation...she reminded me of that PG Wodehouse quip about someone's mother in law with the look that 'could open an oyster at 40 paces".....

i can still remember the sound of a car horn in the street and her bellowing out to the neighbourhood...."i know you're somewhere around here you worthless bastard so put your pants on and get home before i do something you'll regret.....!"

@ mumgman, 9:42pm

LOL, wasn't expecting a prize mate... the memories brought back from seeing that pic are prize enough. :)

I don't remember any polar bears (too far north I think) but they used to get Arctic foxes sniffing around the kitchen and Muskox nearby (but not right on site).

If you get a chance to go up for a week, take it (and say hi to the old site for me). Like I said it's a unique experience to be sure. I don't think your kids will be allowed to go though.

You can Google info for them to read instead. :)

russtovitch....when I was there in '88,in winter,we had too shoot two polars that where running around the site. But you are right on the foxes.They are cute little buggers.

Funny, I recall seeing somebody selling deer hoof slippers out of the back of a van. It was in B.C., if I recall - somewhere around Vandeerhoof...

I'd use one of those Deer Hoofs as a back scratcher.

1)Buy four deer legs.
2)Then find a parked bulldozer on a street.
3)Lay 4 legs on ground against bulldozer so the hooves stick out and the knee stumps are touching the side of the dozer's treads.
4)Splatter the area with ketchup.
5)Stand back & watch the fun.

Vandeerhoof LOL!

Great story of a chase - Albert Johnston, 1931, Rat River, NWT

Hey jjjjj: Do that at the next PETA function!!

I'd pay to see that.

They say Mantracker's tears can cure cancer.
Unfortunately, Mantracker never cries.

Survivor: Resolute won't work. Not enough bikini potential. Well, none actually.

I wouldn't mind sending Jeff Probst up there for a good long while however. "You wanna know what you're playing for?" A trip home in six months, if we remember ...

@Justthinkin, 10:33pm

Polar bears? Really? Sheesh, I was there in the summer of '90 (plus the winter of '85) and only saw the cute foxes (and one wolf if I recall correctly). Reckon I'll have to consider going back once more. :)

You betcha,russtovich. Just around the ice caves.Buggers where a real nusiance.We tried to scare them off,but nothing worked.Never saw any wolves there,but saw some big ones in Eureka.

Deer legs are very valued in the oriental community for the making of a powerful soup to aid the recovery of strength following an illness.

@Pat 4:21 am, wow, deer leg soup? I'd go for fish first myself.

Just caught a clip on FOX about a gang of deer (three it looks like) rushing a beer store...jumping around, damaging the inventory, sliding all over the floor, scaring an employee right out a back door, looks like they've already had enough to me.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Request permission to join the Chosen Frozen (SDA Chapter). Spent a month of May up there one year. Party until the sun goes down. Wasn't a spook( I mean a signals intelligence intercept specialist) but my caricature is probably still on the ceiling of the airport "terminal".

Last time I was there we didn't see any polar bear but did track one by air while looking for a crazy Russian who was skiing to the pole with two others. He got in a snit with his fellow travellers and turned back. Found him alive but I have never smelt a human that stunk that bad. BTW, the amount of crap there idiots leave out on the ice while seeking adventure is appauling.

Lots of Arctic Foxes and wolves there as the garbage dump was not exactly environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, my best picture of a wolf is one taking a dump on the dump. f8 and was there, oh well.

Although there is actually a beach at Alert, I agree the skin factor would elliminate this as a Survivor site. I'd recommend just north of 60 for a suitable location. Warm enough in the summer, lots of sunlight for long days of challenges, plenty of water to drink, fish and paddle around in. Lots of skin factor to, until the black flies, deer flies, horse flies and mosquitoes got wind of their presence.

Okay, 'fess up. Who here killed Bambie's mom?

I'd like to see Mantracker take on military opponents as part of their escape and evasion training.

And how about Mantracker three-day eventing? Start with the 36-hour, 40 km. course, as at present, then throw in one or two shorter challenges -- and give Mantracker a bloodhound.

Mantracker....
Odds are tipped in favour of the tracker right off the hop....
Reality would have a pair of grads from the military's escape and evade show.....ambush.....and then they would ride the horses....but then Mantracker would realistically have a big ass rifle with a scope like a TV....
Yeah....it's a show......

Why do so many of the runners wear bright clothing that all but screams "here I am"? Why do they not tie their compasses to their bodies so they don't lose them when they have to sprint into the bush? Why don't they travel at night (perhaps the rules don't permit it?) to put more distance between them and Mantracker?

Just asking. Great show. Mantracker is amazing in his ability to read his environment.

I saw trhe mantracker episode when the prey was a couple of snipers. The prey won that one, but there was a lot of mutual respect going around at the end of the show. the best thing about mantracker is that he is PO'ed when he loses but is the first one to say,"good job" and give credit when it is due.

Awesome show

Was the camera man a sniper too?

You need to face reality, it's fake.

@Justthinkin, 2:30am - Polar bears near the ice caves? Bloody hell! That would put a crimp in going out for a ride in "Track 1".

@Texas Canuck,6:14am - Sign me up for the Chosen Frozen (SDA Chapter) as well (I was one of those spooks but don't hold that against me).

As I recall, the beach was very deceptive. It looked like you could walk to it in a short time but in reality it was quite the trek. Lack of visual references will do that to you (plus the beer that was inside of one). :)

Yeah, Mantracker is entertaining to watch but ya just can't ignore the fact that the prey have a couple of camera/sound guys wandering with them lugging all the production gear. Somehow, I don't think that these guys erase all of their footie prints, broken twigs, scat and everything else when the follow the prey. It would be interesting to have two sets of prey, one with camera and one without. See if it does make a difference.

Bottom line though is that if this camper gets lost in the woods, I wouldn't mind Mantracker on the search party.
