I think this came out last year, but I watched this at a friend's house the other night and couldn't believe how good it was.
It's pretty dark, but some great stuff in there.

You'll like it, Niels, there's tracking, scenery, trapping, ethics. For me it doesn't really fit into any type of film I've ever seen. It's unique.

 

[Dave]

Good film.

 

[swotty]

Great film, funnily enough I watched it again yesterday after someone posted a picture of the pack he uses in the film on the Ray Mears pack thread and it reminded me how good the film is

 

[andybysea]

yep agree good film.

 

[Man of Tanith]

Sounds like my kind of film

It just went on my Lovefilm list. Dark? As in ? I'm usually good with dark ... Just watched the trailer, how does the tiger fare in all this? Not worried about the humans

 

[realearner]

Great trailer, never heard of that film.
Now I've got to get it.

 

[HillBill]

Oh man! I never knew it was a film about a backpack. I was concentrating too much on the thylacine. Gonna have to re-watch it.

Haha ......................speaking of Thylacines, there have been reports of sightings in Southern Australia over the last decade or so & although the video & photo evidence is a little ' unclonclusive' the witness reports, scats & tracks are relatively believable,(certainly more so than some of the big cats sightings in the UK) there has even been been some scat & fur DNA'd & although & few private laboratories have positively ID them as Thylacine, the state run labs have concluded it is dog..
Without getting into conspiracy theories & government cover-ups...............should the Thylacine be declared no longer extinct & because it would be a protected species,large areas of land would have to be set aside for it's presevation as well as goverment money for it's protection. Needless to say, there are quite a few influencial people who would prefer it didn't happen.
It 's a nice to imagine though that there were some specimens that survived the massacre & that their descendants are roaming the Aussie hills.

It's a big place and there's still things to be discovered, that's for sure.

If any one has 48 mins to spare, this programme is quite interesting even though it is to be taken with a pinch of salt as it is rather 'real tv ish'

What massacre? Thylacine were wiped on the the mainland by competition - from dingoes.

I don't think it is clear if it was shooting by farmers or loss of habitat that wiped them on out Tassie.

Just watched it. Wow. Fantastic movie. Absolutely genius

 

[Chris the Cat]
