RIP Steve

200 millions viewers worldwide, a good proportion of them kids - I don't think anyone outside the typical huge mainstream media (celebs, films, sport) has quite so much reach and I really doubt anyone has quite the impact he had in the way he did.

Amazing man.

Ray Mears is a boring survivalist, his programmes are interesting but not exciting to watch.

/agree except you forgot to capitalise the "BORING" bit

Thank you for that link I have just posted a message there. Since I come from a Christian backround I felt I should quote the scriptures as words of comfort. I can see Steve in his element here:

(Isaiah 11:6-9) 6*And the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them. 7*And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. 8*And the sucking child will certainly play upon the hole of the cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. 9*They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.

Don't start a religious debate here if you don't like my message, it's not the time nor place...

We used to spend many many Sundays watching Steve!

Some of the best "educating entertainment" ever!

I'm sure there will be a number of programs about Steve in the near future.
