Great video seen it a while ago.
If you want to see another documentary on the same lines try and watch the Werner Herzog's production "Happy people.....a year in the Taiga", 90 minutes of supreme documentary making and narrative by the master at the top of his game, was readily available on You-Tube at one time as the full 90 minutes, but now i can only find snippets on there and was unable to post a link to the forum, maybe someone more techno-savvy can find te full length version and do the honours? It is a must see documentary IMO, blew me away the 1st time i watched it.

I really enjoyed that, thanks for posting

I like the way he seamed to enjoy taking the interviewer under his wing and teaching how to skin a rabbit and dispatch his first fish ect ect .
It was quite re-freashing to see the film crew being honest novices in that environment yet still being prepared to get stuck in, learn and helpout even when they where clearly out of there comfort zone at times

He was a bit of a "hip dude" but at the end of the day who cares, he was willing to learn new stuff and have a go fair play . its nice to see someone get inspired, I recon thats what its all about
