strangely i have either seen or own quite a few of that list

 

[santaman2000]

Great list. Seen a lot of them and loved most. I'll always remember the line in Jerimiah Johnson. "Skin that one pilgrim and I'll be back with another one!"

yes, but mabey for the wrong reasons.

 

[sxmolloy]

[mrcharly]

[3bears]

[Retired Member southey]

He survived for 112 days I guess the best is subjective though.

 

[Retired Member southey]

no he lived for 112 days, then died, he did not survive. imo. hang on smily to lift the mood of that sentance....... there you go

It's all semantics

I do agree that his situation was favourable to an extent, he'd found a static established shelter and really started to get into trouble when the staples he took with him started to dwindle and he was forced to rely on foraging and hunting skills.

Good film, book and soundtrack though

The film of Into The Wild is misleading, in it he died from poisoning which is not true. He died because he ran out of food, pure and simple. If you're going to kick it off the list because he died how about Cloverfield? In that one EVERYONE dies! To be fair, there are a few lemons on that list. Lost? Really? And worst of all, no Grizzly Adams! Shocking ;-)

 

[Retired Member southey]

haha how is grizzly Adams about survival? he just lived there.

Haha, that brings back memories of Sunday afternoons! I must see if I can get a hold of some old episodes.

It shows you that you have to be prepared and not just try to live on the land without seeking proper instruction, a very valuable survival lesson. I would call it a survival movie.

Lmao!

sxmolloy; Yep, thats the one. I was only young when I saw it but now I think back to it, I think I should look at it from an adults perspective- from an 'educational' standpoint obviously.
