I realize I’m still on the Man Vs. Wild thing.

Yeah, I know there is a lot going on in this world. Britney Spears’ dog pooping on a $6700 dress, Mike Bloomberg starting an ominous website called, ironically, Mike2008.com (wonder what that’s all about, heh) and me just not understanding why very rich people just don’t get a driver.

I digress.

It appears our BFF, Bear Grylls, has been doing more than just staying at a hotel, eating blueberry muffins (why would he then eat a grub? This I cannot understand) and biting the heads off of snakes.

Well, I have decided I’m a survivalist as well if I can do this:

According to Weinert, while filming in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains – an episode in which Grylls, 33, is seen biting off the head of a snake for breakfast – Grylls actually spent some nights with the show’s crew in a lodge outfitted with television, stone fireplaces, hot tubs and Internet access.

The Pines Resort at Bass Lake is advertised as “a cozy getaway for families” and is a luxurious hotel with its own spa on a lake.

In another instance, where Grylls was supposed to be surviving on a desert island, he was actually in Hawaii and spent nights at a motel, Weinert said.

The same episode had Grylls building a Polynesian-style raft using only materials around him, including bamboo, hibiscus twine and palm leaves for a sail. Weinert said he actually led a team of builders to construct the raft.

I need a staff, dammit. Many times just to get across the parking lot, but a staff is indeed what I think would enhance my survival experience.

As Sara Sue says, Kill Your TV.

But then what would I do
