I watched it last night with much interest - he spoke excellent English - to polar bears !!!
I was wondering what knife he uses - he was cutting up his jacket to take ice out with it - looked like a custom made puukko to me.

 

[CLEM]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give that a looksee tomorow evening

Finally got to watch the last ten minutes just now.

What a trip and what a film, if anyone ever comes across the full version please let us know.

Now to work on our lass for the three year pass out to play

 

[Badger74]

It's called The Divorce Pass I think. Not to keen on trying that one myself.

 

[John Fenna]

I got one for 12 months once!
Also had
3 months
6 months
and several 1 month passes from SWMBO

3 years is a bit much to ask for though.......
Still married to the girl I met 35 years ago

I think the trick would be to be just sufficiently annoying that (s)he felt it was a good deal to be rid of one.

I have one expedition on the day-dream stage that would run 5-10 years, but that is for when I (a) win the lottery and (b) somehow become single with no dependent children again (the current most likely way this could happen is that the ASBs -- Alien Space Bats -- kidnap the rest of the familly and a leprechaun gives me a pot of gold).

 

[Prawnster]

Just watched it and I have to say that it is absolutely superb. Thanks so much for posting it up I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What an adventure! He must be so tough mentally to see a trip like that through to the end. I loved what he said when the ice was melting, the sled was hardgoing, and the dogs' legs were being cut breaking through. He said, "It's good to have days like this. It's what makes the trip unforgettable." Now that is positive mental attitude.

Did anyone else wince at the porcupine quills? Poor mutts.

 

[Badger74]

Yep, winced at the porcupine quills, laughed at the comedy frozen tash wriggle and saddened by the killing of the puppy by another member of the pack.

Lars looks so happy and comfortable doing these programmes, and they are are a joy to watch.

 

[Gill]

Fantastic , i have watched the ones before,this guy,s programes just get better and better.Does anybody have it on dvd? I would have been flappin with the bears , i think the shotgun would have been used!

 

[born2roam]

iplayer bbc prohibits watching it if you are not in the uk.

Anybody got a (practical) solution for that, me not being too much of an internet wizzard?

Grtz Johan

Now that would really have annoyed the bear.

I don't think a shotgun would be a lot of good at stopping a charging bear.
