βHe said he watched a survival show on TV and basically took branches and snow and made himself a shelter and slept under the shelter.β
mmmm …. bear gryllis ;)

Mar 14, 2013 at 4:03 pm #1965671Bear would have slid downhill in the dark on a cast off garbage can lid, slamming into a big fir and creating an instant snow cave with the snow falling from the branches. He would then start a fire by rubbing two hibernating small mammals together and generating a static spark.
I'm glad the kid paid attention and is okay.
