May I ask why they willnot import the book into Finland? I may not agree with all of Les's exploits and methods but he seems to be pretty popular.

He may not be perfect but he is very knowledgeable. There is a lot to learn from him, and besides gaining knowledge and the ability to learn from anyone is the key.

I feel the same way about him, same way about Bear Gryllis, I hav always felt that there is something to be learned from everyone. What I can't figure out is why his book would not be let into Finland? Last I heard Finland was not a Repressive country.

cause were like russia of eu countries,and were one of the most expensive/high tax countries with stupid politics etc.i wont bother to waste any money for the over pricedstuf fthey sell here,i buy overseas as long as the prices drop so im doin it forever :D.and back to topic :D,i think it wont appear,the book,on any store as the outdoor culture is very different here and we stick to old traditional methods heritaged from ancestors,theres nothin wrong with it,but here most of the ilderness folk really dont like american stuff and ways.im kind of oddball even among my friends as i cross the un-drawn lines by reading foreign mag´s and books and carry different,imported gear without any hesitation.

its like....im talkin about the sas manual i got from Mike,to my pals,and theyre watchin  me like crazy..."they didnt say that in finnish scoutbook or in finnish outdoor guide" :D

I understand now. Heaven forbid when someone wants to break the mold and explore a bit.

Expressing individuality is just plain WRONG!! :o

I've been DVRing Survivorman lately and think they should have called the show Starvingman :D

I've seen about 4 episodes and all except the Cook Island episode, he coulden't catch anything!

Really interesting show though...got me thinking of something.  Someone could make a fortune selling "survival experiences"...have people pay to be dropped off on an island for a week with little in the way of supplies and they can "experience" a survival situation for a few thousand bucks!  Supply them with a satellite phone though in case things get scary :P

There are survival schools out there. Jeff Randall of RAT cutlery has a survival school http://www.jungletraining.com/ where they actually drop you off in the amazon with a group and teach you survival surviving the jungle. I'd love to do, but can't atm zzz.
