What's interesting is the difference between the US version and the original UK version of the show. The Brits sent a bunch of competitors to Canada for one show. They dropped them in the wilderness just north of Frontenac Provincial Park (just north, in turn, of Kingston, ON). They chose the spring, which put them into: Prime mosquito and blackfly season. Very cold lakes and rivers. Warm days and cold nights. etc. They had to canoe their way to freedom - but they didn't know how to canoe. The competitors weren't chosen for their cleavage and they barely survived. Them yankee survivors are such wimps by comparison. :-) Mike *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
