Bear is dropped into very remote areas and shows viewers how to survive with nothing but a knife. He's been all over the world and has accomplished many things like being the youngest to climb Mount Everest.
I can see why Andy is enamored by him. He bought two books on Bear at Barnes and Noble. Andy was telling me how eating termites is good because they have a lot of protein and he wanted to go out and kill a snake just like Bear. He even bought a hunting knife.
So my two sons went out in the pasture and found a 3 foot bull snake. Nick picked it up but Andy didn't want to touch it. He was definitely not comfortable around them.
I also didn't want them killing any snakes so they did let it go.
Over Memorial Day weekend, we decided to go on a bike trip and picnicked in this one place. Within 2 seconds of sitting down, Andy jumps up and says he's getting bit and then he sees all the bugs on him, races for the van, jumps in and closes the door. The bugs he was afraid of were 1/8 inch thrips and totally harmless to people. My husband and I just laughed at this comical scene.
Andy has had a bug phobia since he was little so I find it quite interesting that he wants to be another Bear Grylls but he may have to rethink his decision because I don't see how he would last very long in the wilderness.
