Props
To begin the day, I want to give thanks to a few people:
- My parents for not kicking me off their property, it would have really put a damper on things.
- The gardener for not calling the cops.
- My girlfriend for being patient and not dumping me, though many people are still wondering why
- My friend Jacob who helped (did) the technical side of things. Without him there would be no Hungry Barbarian, so that makes him Barbarian Light.
- The neighbors for their don’t ask don’t tell policy.
- Everyone who actually found this interesting. I’m amazed anyone outside of my immediate family gave a crap. I know they only checked to make sure I wasn’t dead. Dying they could deal but dead, not so much.
- And finally to Manbearpig for being so awesome. I’m super cereal!

Congrats on not dying. Your epic survival tale has kept me sane, and entertained me while I’m sitting in the library studying for hours on end for my damned board exams. While you didn’t have the on-camera Les Stroud-style loss of sanity that I was hoping for, your running commentary was hilarious and your sarcastic wit made what could have been a boring tale very entertaining.
I’ll be waiting for the next adventure.
