72 Year Old Shows Up Bear Grylls and Any Other Survival Show

A 72-year-old San Francisco man is resting at home following his rescue after he went missing for 18 days in the Mendocino National Forest while on a hunting trip. In an interview with KTVU Sunday, Jeremy Penaflor said that his father, Gene, was "just like he was when I saw him last, except his beard grew."Gene Penaflor's ordeal began on September 24, when he and a hunting partner set off from a hunting camp in the national forest. The two men eventually separated, but agreed to meet up for lunch. The meeting never took place, as Penaflor slipped, fell on steep terrain, and lost consciousness. By the time he regained his senses, night had fallen, and Penaflor was forced to make a campsite for himself. The Ukiah Daily Journal reported Sunday that Penaflor survived in the Yuki Wilderness by eating squirrels, lizards, a snake, berries and algae and covering himself with leaves to stay warm.A four-day search that started the next day was called off after no clues to his whereabouts surfaced. At least once, Penaflor spotted and attempted to signal a rescue helicopter, but was not seen. Another group of hunters stumbled upon the missing man Saturday and carried him out of the forest.Mendocino County Sheriff's Office detective Andrew Porter said Penaflor was "laughing and joking around" and described him as "very upbeat" despite the ordeal.The Associated Press contributed to this report

   Check this dude out, straight boss status.  Goes on a hunting trip, gets knocked out by himself, wakes up 8 hours later and just sets up camp.  Then spends 18 days surviving on squirrels, berries, algae, and reptiles while sleeping in piles of leaves. This guy deserves his own show; lasting almost 3 weeks without any help or Hollywood script, just living off the land.Show me Bear Grylls or Survivorman lasting 18 days in the wilderness without a camera crew or cell phone or any way of reaching out for help if something actually goes wrong.  Better yet, throw them down some rocks and knock them out first.  And Bear Grylls is a sick fuck.  Just biting heads off of venomous snakes when he could have stabbed an injured hog 10 feet away.  And what's up with that new show 'Naked and Afraid', where two strangers have to get naked and survive 3 weeks in the woods? Not sure if they're trying to shoot some new kind of porno or if it's a new type of blind date show.  Either way it's fucking weird and has to be scripted.
