Ed Wardle Q&A

[harryhawk]

The TV Show will be hosting a Q&A with Ed during the next programme(Saturday 3rd October, Cannel 4 @ 4pm). Do you want to know more about how the series was made? Do you think Ed should have done things differently? Do you think he tried hard enough to find food? What did Ed find most difficult: hunger or loneliness? And how does 50 days of complete solitude really feel?

Have been waiting for this to come on.
I cant find fault with Ed (I am no expert)
I thought he did not spend enough time looking for food but we only saw what he filmed and may certainly have done loads of unsucessfull forraging.

I feel that the program may draw some very harsh comments,
The program that was shown, was heavily edited from the snippets that he decided to film and therefore only a very narrow window on what actually happened. To have lasted as long as he did, especially under the restrictions we've already heard about, was a feat worthy of note.

I guess I'll watch it if I'm free.

I'm looking foward to this. I have the upmost respect for Ed Wardle, sure he could have done things better in certain areas but thats very easy to say sat in a comfy arm chair, eh!
Nearly all of us on here if not all of us will never know how hard that was.

I'm interested to hear what he learned about his own psychology and the general mindset he thinks is required for a trip like that.
I dont think he'd want to do it again, but if so, what he would do differently, or what advice he would give to others is also what I'd like to hear.

I'd also like to hear that he married his girlfriend, as he seemed to realise how much she meant to him....but that could just be the porcupine meat
