Iron Will. It's a story about a young Minnesota boy who enters a dogsled race to help his family through the Great Depression after his father dies in a sledding accident. It's set in the far North and has stunning scenery and excitement.
Just watched As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me. It's very good with some bushy stuff in there, but I was a bit disappointed by the deviations from the book.

Just occured to me and it might have ben mentioned already but has anyone seen the remake of The Flight of the Pheonix? Stars Dennis Quaid.
Not too Hollywoody in thier unbelievable stretching reality type stuff - Like a six shooter firing 400bullets, or hand grenades exploding in a ball of fire and knocking over a house, but otherwise not a bad film to watch.

Watched "The Eagle" this morning. It's OK, but there are some nice campfire scenes as well as some authentic looking villages with cook pots above fires.
Worth a watch.

Watched South 1919 Dvd last night, good historical authentic film from 1919. I am a big fan of Shackleton anyway, just need to have it on mute because of the piano music all the time. Obviously a silent film
Ray Winstone's new one "Tracker" is a must. Watched it last night and it's a belter.

Just another "mountainman gets forced into helping criminals through the bush and kills them" but with a little bushcraft, especially a wrist watch band made of enough paracord to abseil down a 100' cliff!
Good enough for hang over sunday.

A new film "The Way Back". It is about a couple of prisioners walking from siberia to India in the second world war. got Colin Farrel in it who plays a mad russian but bot a bad film lots of stuff in it too.
I second the Tracker with Ray Winston in it, great film showing off some of the best places of New Zeland

Yup, the Way Back is really good. Good survival techniques in hot and cold places with very little in the way of kit.
Not a film but "The Alaska Experiment" is a US reality show where some yuppies are sent into Alaska and have to fend for themselves.
Here's the first season via youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpOfnsf2r5E&

I had the TV all to myself last night since SWMBO is off galavanting in the UK at the moment. So I dug out an old film I hadn't seen in ages and rather enjoyed it.
Six days and seven nights with Harrison Ford.
It's a sort of a romantic comedy type film but has a lot of outdoorsy, what would you do in that situation sort of thing. I enjoyed it. But then I'm also a bit of a sucker for romantic comedy films too... just don't tell anyone, my street cred is fragile enough already

If anyone has a few hours to spare, Dersu Uzala is on the silver screen at 1800 on Wednesday in Edinburgh.
The US did capture one although I'm not aware of the actual circumstances (may have been similar to the movie i dont know?) - however the brishish had one already which they got when they captured U-110
