Or maybe, hungry.

Probably hard to fathom for those where food comes easily, and often prepared and cooked. However, hunting and gathering food without tools is not something new. I think that is one of the reasons why I like to watch these kind of shows, it makes man more evenly matched to the prey. It is all too easy to set big traps, huge nets, and use guns to kill everything from yards away.

As I said, not something I'd want to do because I'm a big chicken. There are enough spiders and wasps in the garden that are about as much danger as this wimp can take on. I only hope I never end up in a situation where I am hungry enough to go after something with a mouth that size. I'd prefer to gather fruits, berries, leaves, and veggies. I can catch fish with a rod, and gut and clean the fish, without problem. But I've only caught small fish, would love to go somewhere to catch big game fish. Just to be there in person, just once.

On TV, or youtube videos, the wild shows are the best to watch. Safe and far away.
