Watched Man vs. Wild today with Bear Grylls. It was pretty interesting this time as he was showing how to survive in the deep canyons (Copper Canyon) of Mexico, a land of desert, scorpions and heat.
He showed several ways to use the yucca plant. He used a yucca stalk to create a fire-starter saw. Earlier he used the fiber of the yucca leaves as sewing thread to fix a tear in his clothes. Later several leaves of the yucca plants were pulled apart to create narrow strips that were then tied together to make a 50 ft line. He then tied one end around a big rock that was ten dropped into a pool at the bottom of a waterfall to measure the depth before jumping into the pool.
Today I learned how to cut the tail off a scorpion and crunch down on it, to find a grub and eat it for protein and also how to kill a river trout by hitting it with a stick. Oh yeah! I now know I can survive in the wild!! (That’s sarcasm in case you couldn’t tell!)
