Man vs Wild - Mexico "Baja Desert"

Really !!!!

But some pee might have been his choice over a warm Pacifico (or fill in blank w/ other brand).

All these "survivor/ reality" shows are contrived crap:


I am waiting for Naked and Afraid in Todos Santos.....

"Oh.. ... what to eat....what to drink ?????"

Yep....here is a real adventure story....with some local (Nomad) heroes.....

mtngoat666,
Funny that you should mention Fred Beckey. Yes, he is the real deal! He has hiked the same ground as the Bear Grylls/Man vs. Wild scenes while putting up new rock climbing routes. Beckey is still going after it; he just told me that he was rock climbing last week. His 93rd birthday will be in January.

Crossing into Mexico - 2003


Fred on the right, heading out to climb El Gran Trono Blanco - 2008


Beckey on one of our first ascents in Baja.


Fred is much more comfortable with the vertical world vs. horseback!
At base camp 2008.

I edited his post here so only the link shows and removed the flash tags, if that is what isn't showing. You on a MAC? Anyway, click the link and see if that allows you to watch the show Ken posted.

Great... In thought you used a Mac!
